okay thanks for laughing with me, i was almost on the floor what the hell was dave thinkin'?

Yes, that was funny as hell. I literally laughed out loud. I would love to know what he was thinking too. Someone commented that he had on his wife's wig.

"I want to thank ya this evening.."

*cue "soul glo" jingle*

Jay-Z "Never Change" (2001)

:::wishing I had a pic of the "Frenchie" character from In Living Color:::

Yo, I don't care if Ruffin came out wearing a leopard print thong, black pirate boots, a trenchcoat and lace gloves, that voice was amazing.



...and I'm sure the yayo he smoked was just as amazing to. But damn, Ruffin could pipe!

i can't decide whether it's funnier than strange or stranger than funny.

Damn, I really wanted to laugh, BUT that boy can SANG!!! So it wasn't that funny.

oh well but of course, we are talkin' about "The Ruff" here....

legendofnothing said:

oh gosh, it was just a vid to laugh at his hair is all...loosin up a bit, we all agree that he could sing.....it's David Ruffin of course.....not Eddie King, Jr. of "The Five Heartbeats"

Yeah....that wig was GLISTENIN'!!!!!

Looks like a cross between "Frenchie" from In Living Color and the late, great Johnny Guitar Watson during his 90's comeback!!!!!

THAT'S the song Jay-Z bit for "Never Change" from the Blueprint CD!!!!!
"But I'll never, never, never never change.....I'll NEVER CHANGE"!!!!!

David was thinking he looked good. If I'm not mistaken David is the Temp who had fur lined limos and chit. Mofo could sing his ass off though.

i'm glad you found out the original song then, glad to be of some assistance...i've always had knack for finding original songs to some hip hop stuff that samples them.
