Ok Neo, Here is the deal. Her producer took a style of music called Go-Go and speeded up the tempo so that it dosen't sound like the authentic music style. It's kind like what Vanilla Ice did w/rap music ya dig. We're not faulting Amerie but all we're saying that the music in the song is fake Go-Go and not the real deal like we're used to by living in DC and people need to be exposed to the real deal.

Actually, Rich Harrison used a Meters sample for "One Thing"; the song is entitled "Oh, Calcutta" and dates from 1970. The tempo of the original is actually slowed down for Amerie's track. So it's not a Go-Go sample.

The beat is the same and Rich is from D.C. Trust me he got the idea from Go-Go.

so much talk until this was mentioned! I love The Meters and 'Oh Calcutta' is a great song! This break used by Amerie makes her song good. Too bad it is what the song is all about!

But again, a great use of a sample.....it sounds new when you first hear it and then you find out it's 35 years old.....how old is Amerie?

I know. Don't get what all the fuss is. It's a great break. It's always been a great break. But the non-existent melody and her whiny delivery puts me off the track.

Well I am from the Washington Metropolitian area. I grew up on Go-Go music.

Everybody should check out Chuck Brown if you want to really hear real Go-Go and not this fake stuff that Amerie is using.




so because Chuck Brown is a go-go God, we shouldn't allow ourselves to enjoy a pop song by Amerie? rolleyes

Amerie is a pathetic singer,

rubbish songs and an Aaliyah wannabe

she got a nose job because she had a big ole nose,

and now she pretending to be an Aaliyah Beyonce type singer,

fucking shite songs

whoever buys her music is a moron

I think she is OK. Has awesome legs and is a very sweet girl. I really liked Why don't we fall it love when it dropped in 2002. I actually really like her music versus Alicia...who puts me to sleep, Beyonce just doesn't do it. But Amerie's production team is giving her great records.

But, your post is really funny! Hater!

Her records have more Hip Hop flair to them. Her first album was great. Production team on point.

She did a lot of radio in 2002. we got to know her a lil bit. She is sweet as she can be. Did you catch her on Nas' Stillmatic Album?

This is what amuses me. Y'all act like she is a new artist.

It is true. Hip Hop/R&B Music charts are never really paid attention to.

As far as calling her a hoe...I think she and her manager are together?

I feel very funny "defending" a person I don't know. But as generalizations go...I thought it was silly.

Maybe I'm riding! smile

No, if you want to hear the real deal and most funkateer's want to hear the real thing. You would check out Chuck. It is obvious from your lame ass response that you are not a funkateer. So keep listening to that lame-ass fake
Amerie Go-Go and leave the funk discussions to those that are in the know.
