thug-love duet
n.— «This summer brings a wild array of contenders, upholding or overturning thug-love precedent. The charts are full of couples: some make rash promises, some trade boasts, some simply flirt. One performer has found a way to record a thug-love duet without any help; at the other end of the spectrum is a group effort starring one woman and no fewer than 14 men.» —“The Season of Thug-Love Duets Has Begun” by Kelefa Sanneh New York Times June 1, 2006.
