Mother Mother (song) "Mother Mother" is a song by Tracy Bonham from her debut album "The Burdens of Being Upright". It reached number one on "Billboard" magazine's Modern Rock Tracks chart in mid-1996. It was the last song by a female solo artist to top this chart until "Royals" by Lorde in August 2013, by which time the chart had been renamed "Billboard" Alternative Songs.
Otis (song) "Otis" is a song by American hip hop artists Kanye West and Jay-Z, from their first collaborative album "Watch the Throne" (2011). The song posthumously features soul singer Otis Redding, whose version of "Try a Little Tenderness" is sampled in the song. The production was covered solely by West. The track was premiered by Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 radio show and was released onto the Internet the day afterward. Lyrically, the song has the two rappers sharing lines discussing wealth, decadence and fame. The track received highly positive reviews from music critics who praised the trading off of verses by the two rappers and the Redding-sampled beat, which was compared to the style heard on West's "The College Dropout". Several publications placed the song amongst the best of the year.
