Did Brian McKnights steal his biggest HIT from Meshel Ndegeocello?

I was just listening to Meshells "Plantation Lullaby" album and realised the song "OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR" and realised it sounded just like Brian's "ANYTIME"! at first I thought Brian must have sampled Meshell, but when I checked the credits for "ANYTIME" there is no sample credit!

Yes, MTV brought this up when Anytime came out. He claimed he wrote his song first. But he was quickly checked, because Me'shell's song was written in 92 (I believe.)

When Anytime came out, I was so surpised. I was looking for sample info. I was sure he wasn't taking credit for it. But, no lawsuits come from it.

Yes it was the music for Outside Your Door off of her 1st CD Plantation Lullabies. I remember she came to my hometown for a show and this song was the encore & before she started singing it she said that "I'm sure ya"ll heard this meldody before, yeah that motherfucker stole my shit".

HE really is. His new shit sounds just like Mint Conditions "The Never That You'll Never Know". He needs to stop.

I'm glad y'all brought this up, I used to tell everyone I could find that Meshell wrote that first!! What made me so mad is that he had such a big hit with it...
