Playa's album Cheers 2 U is one of the best of the '90s. So underrated... You are so right!! [Edited 8/26/06 9:01am] "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

Buy it. Now. "Top of the World," "Together," "All the Way," "One Man Woman" (featuring Aaliyah)... "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

pkidwell said: I believe they sampled the horns from a song called Peg by Steely Dan. DelaSoul also sampled this song in Say No Go on their first album. I remember this song and thinking it was a good crossover song but knew they wouldn't last because they were too white sounding. Just my opinion.
yea Peg! cool shit. ______________________________________________

My fondest memory of "Joe Public" is when mtv jams had a unplugged special w/boys 2 men,shanice,joe public and some other act. Joe public served as the house band that evening. They played for everybody. I thought their cd really didn't capture their talent. I was hoping they'd go on to bigger things....oh well.... | |

I guess they could have been a hip hop version of Mint Condition. Thank You San Alejo for getting rid of my enemies. :-0
Thank You SO much Saint Expedite for your help
Thank You Virgin de Guadalupe for helping my friend
Thank You Saint Anthony for returning my wallet to me untouched |

Yeah, in the video, they all play instuments, but the album is just standard newjack for the most part. I love it as i love newjack, but they dont venture outta that drum-programmed sound, though the guitar parts are quite cool in some of the tracks though. Having said that, Mint conditions debut was a newjack album, but the big hits were the ballads, which were in a way, neo soul. But that debut has some kickin' uptempo's though. | |
