Six pair of kicks is my definition of 12 steps

Amy shoulda rehab'd him,
'stead she doubled his ration.
Can you blame me for being a slave to my passion?
- Jay-Z (on Amy Winehouse's Rehab remix)
I like imagining Amy Winehouse and Jay-z grooving while he raps this piece. Amy Winehouse's Rehab is an awesome groovy jam. To me, Jay-z's additions are icing on the cake; just enough without overshadowing what is already so good about the song.
My brother talked about a "All I realy needed to know I learned from Rap/Hip-hop," which was at the time, sort of a social parallel to the "All I really needed to know I learned in kindergarten." I would definitely put Jay-z's line there (other lines from the prototype list included 2pac's "All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend."
