Adding to the fact that it cleverly samples Brigitte Bardot’s ‘Moi Je Joue’. The rapper even references wife Beyoncé being the black version of the iconic French pin-up.

‘It was one of the best days of my life,’ crooner says about recording ‘Me I Play‘ with Jay. In December, Robin Thicke will be giving fans Sex Therapy on his new album, and he’ll have a few guests sitting in on those sessions. In addition to Kid Cudi, Snoop Dogg and British chanteuse Estelle, Thicke will be joined by Jay-Z. Thicke said he still can’t believe he got our Hottest MC in the Game to join him on a track. “Working with Jay-Z [came about because] he came by the studio, and he heard the album. He was very excited,” Thicke explained to MTV News on the set of his “Sex Therapy” music video. “He jumped on a track called ‘Me I Play.’ ”
Thicke said the track hearkens back to the soulful hip-hop from the early ’90s. “[It’s] kind of like a De La Soul kind of song, but he was really excited about it,” Thicke said, adding that the collaboration was incredible. “To work with him was a dream come true. It was one of the best days of my life.” The singer has already been getting rave reviews for the album — he’s just hoping no one is lying to him. “The album, as a whole, is actually the first time I didn’t write and produce everything myself,” he revealed. “I tried to create a new sound that I had never had before. A lot of people are telling me it’s the best album yet, so I’m really excited. I hope that they’re right!”
