the best R&B song of 1986!!

SoulAlive said:

"Kiss"? "When I Think of You"? "The Sweetest Taboo"? "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But the Rent"?

Great song nonetheless!

that's my cut! ...my 1st impulse was 2 run up on u and do a rambo ..but i thought about this fur coat ..so i chilled ..

I heard this killer remake...sort of a downtempo groovy number.

"That's right. Then I went to the bank and cancelled all those charge cards. I stuck you up for every piece of jewelry I ever bought ya. Yeah, that's right."

Men used to LOVE this song when it came out.

This was probably the song that kick started Gangsta Rap.

oh my god, that line is mad funny. so is "you just a squirrel tryin to get a nut". isn't there another funny line something like "alley cat, hush puppy wearing.....?"

anyway yes, this is the jam indeed! he was like the firts r&b pimp before r. kelly.

That whole part at the end is hilarious. I wonder how many takes he ruined by cracking up?

This is my favorite misogynistic track!

L4OATheOriginal said:

Doens't he actually say "cornfake" (singular?)? makes it more ghetto!

i think this song inspired Bob George....

"get that wig I bought ya....nah nah, the reddish brown one!"

AlexdeParis said:

Nah..."The Rain" is superior to those songs truly original too....the spoken part at the end was very innovative,for 1986,anyway.

watching that video, it took me back with those hawaiian short sets!

did you guys ever hear the "answer" record to this song? It's some female,responding back to him....she says things like...

that's a nice suit you have on....it looks just as good on you today as it did yesterday!

I have this album on vinyl

It's a surprisingly mellow album,filled with alot of ballads.The second single was "Curiosity",but that song is nothing to write home about,imo.I don't know why they didn't release the catchy "1-2-1" instead....it's a cool,breezy groove,very similiar to "The Rain".It would have been the perfect follow-up single.

SoulAlive said:

I remember that. Weren't there multiple answer records? (For you youngins, think "No Scrubs" and "No Pigeons").

AlexdeParis said:

There probably was.I only heard one of them,though She starts off by saying....

So,you noticed that I was walking in the rain with another man? That's the first thing you've noticed about me in months!

the girl on the cover is Jalil from Whodini's sister

SoulAlive said:

of course *you* would think that.


*disbelief*

IAintTheOne said:

I think she also appears in Freddie Jackson's "You Are My Lady" video

SoulAlive said:

Juice had a hit single on Elektra before hos tenure at DefJam called "Rock your body down" in 1985, people thought it was done by Imagination but nope, and a better version of "your song" is on the 12"

sosgemini said:

This is like the only R&B project of Russell Simmons that really made an impact.

I like that second single "Curiosity" though.

This is a straight up classic.

Ah Ah, Don't Touch That Coat!

David, you always posts songs that I loved from the radio! I listened to a lot of it from like 1980-1989. Always loved this one.

How can you not smile when the spoken word part starts? Great song overall but the ending is the best.

AlexdeParis said:

don't 4get the answer 2 no bills by sporty theives as well

the real roxanne etc ...

games people play vs games females play

but there should b an answer record 2 that carrie underwood song

"girl u wrote u'r name on my truck i called the police on u'r ass and u now say what the fuck? next time u need 2 respect my property and u won't fail cause now the cops have come and halled u'r ass 2 jail. "

SoulAlive said:
