(circa 1980)

anybody hear faint dialog
in between "Too Much Love"
and "All Night's All Right"?

for a minute there I thought I was
only hearing it on the remastered CD version
but I was just putting the needle
to the record to hear ANAR
and TML was fading out
(I had it turned all the way up)
and I could hear the same thing
I was hearing on the CD... very softly though

sounds like Chaka is saying
"who said that?"

anybody else took notice?

also... since ya'll brought
Naughty up *giggle*
notice the couch on the album cover
is the same one from the Masterjam artwork

so is it safe to say that was really Chaka's pad?
classy

Is that mellini on the couch?

DirtyChris said:

I still owe you a reply on the other chaka thread I have never been able to find this so I can't comment cuz I've never heard it

btw...chaka is my all time favorite chica ever

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

oh lawd... what Chaka thread?
I don't even remember...

but OMG... you need Naughty!
like... YESTERDAY

also, I have a hard time
picking THE ONE
out of Chaka, Mary & Badu

cuz see Mary & me...
we go back...

but Chaka & I go back even further
and now Badu is like... MY EVERYTHING

it's really hard to pick
THAT ONE at this point

DirtyChris said:

Well let's just say that we are twins separated at birth cuz the album you were thinkin is your favorite is MY favorite. This one:



I think the last time I looked for this on amazon it was like $40 bucks I'm a completist and all but damn

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I got one off cduniverse.com
a few years ago
for like $10 bucks maybe...
(the CD)

I got like 3 copies of the vinyl LOL
(one without the cover)

this IS my favorite Rufus ft. Chaka Khan album
how appropriate Rufus ft. Chaka Khan

THE PINK ONE!!! *jumps up fist in the air*
Rufusized would be next...
and THEN Ask Rufus

for a long time it was Ask Rufus though
no second guessing... "Everlasting Love"
turnt me onto that album as a whole

I had tried to experiment with it when I was younger
but didn't really grasp anything but "Hollywood"

but yeah... THE PINK ONE!!! *jumps up fist in the air again*

***DOES ANYONE here listen to Chaka Khan's Naughty album?

DirtyChris said:

If they could find it, yes!

You know what is really interesting? Ask Rufus used to be my favorite too and I hadn't listened to Pinky in so long and when I reconnected with it it fuckin slammed my ass like a porn whore on blow

Yes I do

She's laughing while she says it

DirtyChris said:

Yep, thats her New York penthhouse,,,or was for that matter since I heard she sold it after she went cold turkey in the late 80's.

This was the place where she used to lock herself up for weeks due to her drug paranoia(She talks about it in the book).

I'm glad she overcame that.

okay cool

dope pad of hers
(no pun intended)

This morning I heard a chipmunk version of Through the Fire blasting out of a car this morning

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

was it "Through The Wire" by Kanye West?

DirtyChris said:

OMG please tell me that that shit wasn't sampled like that! I thought maybe it was a superfan bored with Chaka's music and trying to mix it up a bit

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

If I'm not mistaken, it was his first big hit and not the first time he "revolutionized" a sample by speeding it up.

RipHer2Shreds said:

How just pathetic and sad that is Hey Rippy

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Kanye doesn't bother me like he does a lot of people. Not my taste, and I don't think he's as talented as he seems to think, but oh well. I'll just listen to something I like instead.

And hello back to you.

RipHer2Shreds said:

yeah... I'm guessing that's why
his productions really ceased to amaze me
after so much of that, you know?

I mean we had Hov's Blueprint album
some of the Dipset/Rocafella stuff
it got old really quick to me...

but some of it I still love to hear
like the song from his first album
after the Bernie Mac intro
that samples "I Don't Wanna Stop" (Gino Vanelli)
now THAT was cleverly sampled!

back to "Through The Wire/Fire"
I DO NOT remember Chaka's song nor video
for "Through The Wire" as a kid...
didn't get into it until AFTER
Kanye dropped...
