In spring spirits we bring you the undying soundtrack to the summer of 2007 by US rap giants Devin the Dude, Andre 3000 and Snoop Dogg. ‘What A Job‘ is an honest insight into the life of music hustlers, with Dre 3000 touching on the subject of downloading especially poignantly 3:20 into the track:

I know you’re sayin’ ‘they won’t know, they won’t miss it’
Besides, I ain’t a thief, they won’t pay me a visit
So if I come to your job, take your corn on the cob
And take a couple’ corn rows off it, that would be alright with you?

Off Devin’s fourth album, Waitin’ to Inhale from 2007.
