In his
writeup of this song (which he has at #956), Dave Marsh provides a great
description of dueling “best singles” lists developed by Rolling Stone magazine in 1988 and Spin magazine in 1989. The latter had “It Takes Two” at #1; Marsh
quotes rock critic David Hinckley characterizing the pick as “the equivalent of
a three-year-old shooting his mother with a squirt gun in order to get her
attention.”
OK, so I
wouldn’t put this at the top of my list, but it nevertheless is among the best
of the classic hip-hop tracks.
