Ive been listening to this track a lot more recently, its just so funky its unreal! it reminds me a bit of Sexy M.F. the rapping on it is really tight, any more fans of this song?

Let's play a game called "U agree"
Cuz nothin' was created in disagreement, see
And if I didn't try 2 school U, I'd be remissed
U know what?
Y should I do that when I can do this?

(Do this)
(Boom shakalakala boom)
This drummer wicked
(Do this)

U were just conceived on a Friday night
I was on stage wasting brothers in a real fight
Everytime they copped down I worked it harder
Stripped down 2 my underwear and spanked them like they father
Never before had people seen a vision so bizarre
Play a hand that's equal 2 mine
Uh, look at my cards I heard your little groove and I raised U another
On a Sunday morning would U play that smack 4 your mother?
Huh, I believe U would think otherwise
A few CDs from now when the soft ware that U're banging's not alive
In a real battle those loops y'all got suffer TKO's
Until U're playing in front of 70,000 U'll never know, nigga
This a grown folks job
All the young dogs need 2 recognize
If the world was God, the people need 2 use it with a 3rd eye
Who? What? Why? Uh, lookout

And if I didn't try 2 school U I would be re-missed
Y should I do that when I can do this?

[If a nigga never stylin', who would I diss?]
Y should I do that when I can do this?
(Boom shakalakala boom)
This drummer wicked
Y should I do that when I can do this?
This drummer wicked
Y should I do that when I can do this?

Everytime I turn around there's another boot
Talking about what another boot can't do
Quiet as it's kept, everyone of U boots need 2 try 2 walk a mile in my shoes

I've had devils (out) try 2 take me out but I stand 4 the truth
So my words makes mo' dollars than sense on your hellavision or your radio
With this flow it just grows
Yo, ask Chuck D. - he know
He's been fightin' the "so called power" since the days of old
So tell me now what should be sold?
Sleepy Jack hazards y'all need a couple of No-doze (Ooh)
Ask Mary J. about Chaka
Mary, is Chaka on the radio? (No)
Huh, see U gotta save your own
In the end it ain't about the dollars but the seeds U've sewn
In a mind state full of Dutch ELM that's where the ghetto's grown (Ohh)
Watch out y'all can't block me out 2night

If I didn't try 2 school u I'd be remissed
Y should I do that when I can do this? (Hey yeah)
(Do this)
[If a nigga never stylin', who would I diss?]
Y should I do that when I can do this
(Boom shakalakala boom)
This drummer wicked
Y should I do that when I can do this?

Uh, a drummer in a cold sweat, backin' up my rhyme
I'd make U take your shortie outta here (Everytime )
Calling me fine
I got a big stick, one 4 each hand
Everybody know I keep a tight band, come on
Uh

My brothers in Manhattan say, "Got 2 shut these haters down G."
He say, "Dog I got yo' back but U gotta, U gotta make a sound" (Make a sound)
Like we used 2, "Well U might be pissed
Cuz y would I do that when I can do this?"

2 most I'm known as a lover, 2 others I'm just a pain (Say what?)
The latter's opinion usually form when mediocrity reigns
And if I didn't school ya, U know what? (What?)
I would be remissed
Yo, y would I do that y'all, (haha) Londell, when I can do this?
(Y should I do that when I can do this?)
Y would I do that y'all, Ananda, when I can do this? (Backup)
(Y should I do that when I can do this)
Y would I do that y'all, Doug E., when I can do this?
Y would I do that y'all, Spike, when I could do this?
(Y should I do that when I can do this?)
Y would I do that y'all, NPG? We can do this, we can do this
Boom!

I was just listening to that yesterday. I forgt how much I liked it!

i put this song on repeat for half an hour last week when it just

popped into my head one day.

it's typical rave era production but i still like it.

amazing how, looking back, these songs that he released back

at that time, which seemed so fluffy and lightweight and often

just poor, with time, somehow, marinated into quite good stuff,

at least for me they have.

this line:

Stripped down 2 my underwear and spanked them like they father

pretty good rapping on this song too.

Is this a joke thread?

No, I really dig this song too. Well mixed, reminiscent of the Newpower Soul era - especially when those funky staccato horns kick in!

it's a damn funky song, and i like it. one of the only tracks from the NPGMC albums i return to.

I LOVE the cocky, in-your-face, ain't-nobody-bad-like-me Prince! He needs to do more of this. Fav part is when he calls out his peeps:

Yo, y would I do that y'all, (haha) Londell, when I can do this?
(Y should I do that when I can do this?)
Y would I do that y'all, Ananda, when I can do this? (Backup)
(Y should I do that when I can do this)
Y would I do that y'all, Doug E., when I can do this?
Y would I do that y'all, Spike, when I could do this?
(Y should I do that when I can do this?)
Y would I do that y'all, NPG? We can do this, we can do this
Boom!

Come on Nouveau my friend. This is a fun track.

The whole "this drummer wicked" stuff is definitely silly (not in a good way) but the rest of the track is pretty good to me with a cool horn arrangement.

lol would a jughead appreciation post do well here
