One of my favorite Karoke songs to do..especially the "babybabybabybabybabaaaahh" that Chili does...love when I sing that part!

Anyway this is one of those 90's all time classics.

Did you guys hear Bow Wow's single early `09 that used this?

I die everytime on youtube when I see the performance on Arsenio Hall and they mock Coming To America

Now that's one of my favorites of the '90s. "Right Down to It" is #10 on my favorite Babyface songs list and "Baby-Baby-Baby" is #33.

lol I know you're either tryin 2 see if I'm on point here or askin yourself "What the hell is this fool talkin 'bout?". OK Inside your head or with headphones if ya got a pair, first take out the bassline on "Right Down" and just compare the drum tracks. Hell, even if you just compare the melodies themselves they still sound just alike, only without the bass TLC's sounds softer one. Production is funny like that where you can have two drum tracks that sound exactly the same, until you add everything else to it like guitars,vocals,snyths, and right before your eyes it becomes somethin else. 'Face also did this on The Deele's "Crazy 'Bout Cha" which he turned into "Roni" for Bobby Brown

He means they wrote both songs, but they're very similar. The LaFace team was often criticized for writing the same song over and over.

Every producer with a winning team/studio band has done it from Foster & Mc Elroy to Devante Swing, to Timbaland to Teddy Riley to Jam & Lewis, to Motown thru Gamble & Huff on down to Stax.

Ok because I KNOW Cinne should know better..it was just the wording was off...alright Im calming down

diamondpearl1 said:

I don't disagree with you, but LaFace seemed to have that problem more than other producers (if only because of their near-ubiquity at one point). I'm not mad at 'em, though.

paisleypark4 said:

Of course that's what I meant!

Cinnie said:

Don't make me come over there

Cinnie said:

Yep

diamondpearl1 said:

The L.A./Babyface sound always made some tracks interchangeable.

THESE^ 2 tracks have the same chord progressions and the same drum machine sound.
