Well, I don't know what the meanings of the various designations are for banner and background quality, so... I just put "perfect" :P

I first made the expert steps for this file in 2008, but never released it.  That level is emblematic of the freestyle-tinged kind of steps I had at the time, and is probably largely unmodified since then.  I certainly didn't change it recently.  The other levels I did sometime within the past week or two (in 2017).

Expert has lots of spins and unusual patterns going on.  There aren't really any "double steps," but (spoiler) if you start the pattern at the start of Latifah's verse around 200 combo with the most typical footing on the LD jump, then you will have to double step.  Honestly I prefer to call double steps slides, as that's how they should be done and there's nothing inherently wrong with such a pattern, contrary to what a lot of folks have said over the years.  As usual with my charts, playing more than once generally leads to a better combo and appreciation of what's going on :)

This is one of my favorite rap songs of all time, if not my very favorite.  Queen Latifah and Monie Love have exceptional wordplay here, and their song is a legendary women's hip hop anthem.  Check out the music video (which has a slightly different edit of the song) on Youtube sometime.

The banner and background use stills from the music video.
