DAMN I love this song!



I know it has been in my ears on the RADIO since what 1995?

But I just REALLY listened 2 it on my headphones..






This is one beautiful cut! The BASS and the rhythm arrangements..even down to the piano bang in the background. The vocals are on fire.

I really really love this song. Too bad I don't have more 2 go on from since he only got 2 albums And one is coo, and the other is aiight...

Have you heard remix with light DJ Premier drums and a rap by AZ?

Then you better thank the Godfather of Neo Soul - Raphael Saadiq - for producing that track.

ChristopherTracyParade said:

AWW HELL TO THE NAH! Raphael did that too!!!????

DAMN. Why is he not getting awards for his work? He just keeps gettin better and better.


And CinisterCee, no I havent heard the remix!

Cause its not, all dangelo does is whine with a high voice with his drunk azz!!!

I've been listening to Brown Sugar a lot recently.
I turn on the cd player & hit shuffle
& every cut on that cd is great.
Although I could do without the Smokey Robinson remake.

In some circles, mine included, they say he OUTDID Smokey's version.

ChristopherTracyParade said:

I would even say "Feel Like MAking Love" is kinda better than Robert Flacks version too

paisleypark4 said:

I think D derived his version from Roberta's, but I enjoy it more!

CinisterCee said:

the funky handclaps and bass cant be denied

paisleypark4 said:

All the instruments! and the voice

CinisterCee said:

Sorry, but doing ballad after ballad or maybe, gasp, a midtempo ballad, with real instruments, wow what a concept!!! This is concieved as quality music to u guys? Neo soul is the MOR of black music.

This coming from an MC Hammer fan. The nerve of some of you illogical, misinformed-ass members here.

ChristopherTracyParade said:

Its cool u like it, but really, this shit ain't half of what u fans of the genre make it out to be. Real instruments or not, neo soul, production wise, is lacking. I know it ain't meant to be funky, but still.

thesexofit said:

So lets see... Neo Soul needs wack lyrics, sampling, dancing, and parachute pants and THEN it'll be dope, huh?

DAMN, some of you wouldn't know funk/soul if it fucked you & left you a note

CalhounSq said:

neo soul is not funk. For once even vainandy could agree with me on that i think. Its funkless. I dint see it as a bad thing, but, no funk has really been in the charts since about 1994.


And about the hammer thing, no point talking about hammer on this thread. Hammer was just a party rapper, end of story. His shit was not meant to be dylan.

thesexofit said:

Who said Neo Soul was trying to be funk? No one.

As for Hammer...like I said, you'd get ZERO RESPECT if you walked into a room full of Hip Hop heads trying to pump Hammer's contrubutions to the game, so that's why I don't consider MOST of your posts as having ANY merit.

ChristopherTracyParade said:

I said neo soul was not meant to be funky.

Anyway, i know hammer is wack to everyone. Even when i was blasting his shit on streets as a kid, older kids would diss me. I dont care about what hiphop heads would say anyway. And actually, i know people who respect hammer, fuck, even outkast, snoop and tupac did. And i know some real people who do to. Ur like some of the other snobs on here. I call neo soul wack, but i dont think ur wack, u think IAM wack for liking hammer. I had this shit last week with handzclap, at least u ain't trying to get laughs like she did LOL.

Pumps N A Bumps is funky

That used to be my song! I liked the 2nd video version the best with all the dancin.

But this aint about Hammer. D'Angelo's "Lady" is a hott slow jam.

paisleypark4 said:

Well i never thought i'd read the day u liked a hammer song. First version has aaron hall, looking like he just busted outta prison. Some dancing in the first one. Nothing to shout about.

U guys should see his "gaining momentum" video. Dude is so much more then the running man.

thesexofit said:

Like I said earlier...I can't give you much credibility for your musical knowledge knowing that you think Hammer was the shit. Sorry.

(And isnt that Gerrardo - another WACK ASS RAPPER - in your avatar? Good lord. We need to teach Hip Hop 101 here.)
