  Brouhaha and the Fork is your daily music review,  taking a 2004 single and either loving it ( the Fork)  or hating it ( brouhaha)  Listen to the single and tell me if you agree.
 urlLink Sunshine - Lil' Flip feat.  Lea Current Billboard Hot 100 position:  # 10 Ever since Fat Joe broke out with the smash “ Whats Luv?
 in late 2002,  which featured guest vocalist Ashanti ,  it seems that numerous thug- rapper/ fox- crooner pairs have tried to answer that very question.
 Soon thereafter,  Ja Rule released “ Always on Time”  ( again with Ashanti )  a song pushing the message that love is all about,
 well,  promptness.  Most recently,  new rapper Lloyd made an attempt to reply with “ Southside,  a 2004 single featuring (
any guesses?  Ashanti that had a decent run on the charts.  That duo thought that love was all about secretive sex ( Make sure your daddy just don’ t know”  but that still didn’
t seem to be it.  Then,  when the world seemed at a lost for an answer,  Lil’  Flip released the second single from U Gotta Feel Me ,  the playfully titled “
Sunshine.  Subbing in the melodious Lea for Ashanti ,  Flip rapped over juicy keyboards and electronic rays and revealed that both Ja Rule and Lloyd were pretty close;  a lady does need to be on time ( Pick me up at 8: 00,
 don’ t be late”  and she needs to be kinky on the down low ( I need a freak in the sheets”  but Flip continued to completely answer that year- old Fat Joe query:
 “ We don't have to be in love,  we can just be friends!  Finally,  an ode to friends- with-
benefits that answers what love is really about :  not being in love.  But while this tender hip- hop ballad is ‘ 04’ s beachside anthem,
 Flip actually lies a little bit.  When he says that he’ ll “ treat you like milk [ and]  do nothing but spoil you,
 he means more than he’ ll “ treat you like milk [ and]  have you waiting outside his door once a week so that he can bring you in,  pop off your top,
 and pass you around the dinner table so everyone gets a mouthful.  I think.  The Verdict:  6. 2/ 10 -
 The Fork ( 3. 1/ 5)
