Which is the better New Jack anthem?

I'm going with 'Feels Good' on this one.

Neither would qualify for "New Jack Swing Anthem" status though. But Motownphilly was a better overall cut while Feels Good was VERY close to filler status. And I do mean VERY close .

I like Triple T WAY WAY more than BIIM but gotta go with MowotnOhilly on this one ...

Motownphilly

Boyz II Men....ABC....BBD....The East Coast Family

Motownphilly - NO CONTEST!

Motownphilly!

But, I like Feels Good, too.

"feels good" 'cause it's LIVE funk straight outta Oakland Cali-for-Nia just like Sly invented

another new jack thread , i go for motownphilly

"Feels Good" I don't even like "Motownphilly" at all.It's a noisy,over-produced mess of a song.

it feels good!!!!

I still love "Feels Good". Have to be honest, though, one of the only reasons I picked Motownphilly was because of its name...and because I was into the "East Coast Family" at the time.

I was just playing Feels Good yesterday. I don't like Motownphilly anymore.

Feels Good

How come?

Stymie said:

both them tracks was the cut back in '91, but i like "feels good" better...i remember listening to the motownphilly album with my nieces back then.

It's sounds dated and real bubblegum to me.

Stymie said:

OIC...

I think I get what you mean... because whenever it does play, I have the tendency to change the station.

Fuck it:

I'm going with "Feels Good"!

Timmy84 said:

Plus, Feels Good samples a fav song of mine: When Boys Talk.

SoulAlive said:

I think the samples and changes in it is what makes it superior to Feels Good.

Stymie said:

I knew some parts of the song sounded familiar! LOL

Feels Good!!!!!

Feels Good.

All the way.

It's just a more *fun* song...

I sure do miss New Jack Swing...

First of all, you can't have a New Jack Swing anthem without Teddy being involved.

Anyway, I'm going with "Feels Good." It's just a better song -- love that bassline! Both albums had better singles; for instance, I'd take "The Blues" over both of these.

NOW YOU TALKIN'!

Damn, am I the only one that felt "Feels Good" was ALMOST a filler cut?

I mean, it was a cool little diddy but not much else. Simple lyrics. Fun lyrics, I guess? But so much fluff from them.....but then again, that was their vibe on that record. They didn't really get their "Grown ASS Man" on until Sons of Soul. On The Revival they were just "Grown Man".

Motownphilly. I love both of these tracks though

I believe 3T have said as much themselves. Of course, there's a reason it's (arguably) their biggest hit -- with a groove like that, who needs much else?

They made better albums later, but the big 4 singles from The Revival -- "The Blues," "Feels Good," "It Never Rains," and "Whatever You Want" (my favorite) -- are as good as anything they've ever done.
