Every band that had horns figured out that you dont have 2 pay 7 guys in a studio when synths, drum machines, and keyboards can do half the work lol Actually it started a year earlier with the Style album. lol Y'know I started thinkin that because of "Flirt" but except 4 the synth everything else was live. lol I guess when I think electro funk like Dazz Band, One Way, or Zapp & Roger I think drum machines and shit but it's all apples and oranges. | |

Larry Blackmon is tearin up on that percussion and Aaron Mills is nasty on that bass.... ...I only learned about a year ago that it was Aaron Mills that was responsible for the bassline on OutKast's "Ms. Jackson". No wonder I loved that song so much, lol. It was CAMEO, with Andre 3000 on the mic. And I have NO IDEA how Andy could be hatin' on "Candy", lol. I will never forget their performance of it when I saw them at The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, CA when "Word Up" dropped! The crowd's vibe was pure LOVE, PEACE, & MAGIC. I love the song "Word Up" but "Candy" and "Back and Forth" are probably my least two favorites of their entire career. They are far from being jams like "Shake Your Pants", "I Just Want To Be", "Be Yourself", "Freaky Dancing", etc. "Candy" and "Back and Forth" just seem too "mellow" and don't feel like something that could wear you out on the dance floor. Andy is a four letter word. | |

No Candy isn't one of Cameo's but shaking songs but you suppose to follow their lead. You just imagine you're wearing Larry's piece and get in front of your dance partner,do that Cameo roll and let it all hang out.  Don't laugh at my funk

But then again, I don't know because I've never seen what he's got. He needs to show it to me and then I'll be able to make the comparison. Andy is a four letter word. | |

"Candy" and "Back and Forth" just seem too "mellow" and don't feel like something that could wear you out on the dance floor. I hear the distinction you're making, and true enough... those ARE two different vibes. I get that; what you feel is too mellow, is very "groovy" to me. I can even take it beyond "Candy" and "Back and Forth". I just added "Dkwig" (from MACHISMO) to a playlist of mine a few days ago... LOVE that song. In fact, I can truly, truly say Cameo hasn't made a song yet that I haven't been able to get into. And I have ALL their CD's (...even the one's the radio listening public don't know exist, lol). Andy likes his Rump-Shakers, I get it, lol.  | |

...I'm sure it's impressive, even without the enhancement of his codpiece, lol.  | |

Andy likes his Rump-Shakers, I get it, lol. Those fast jams really do something for my ass (dancefloor jams) and they've got some of the baddest slow jams of all time such as "Sparkle", "Feel Me", "Why Have I Lost You", etc. which do something for my dick (bedroom jams). "Candy" and "Back and Forth" don't do anything to neither my ass or my dick. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I prefer "Shake My Pants" and "I Just Want to Be" personally. "Candy" (and "Word Up") have been overplayed for YEARS. | |

Only in comparison to the rest of their catalog. I still love hearing "Candy". I'm not sick of "When Doves Cry" either. [Edited 4/19/10 18:44pm] | |

I taped her 106 & Park appearance when "Loverboy" had just dropped and she had yet to have her meltdown. It was quite fun and the old school joint of the day was "Candy". 
The old school joints were always proper when the guest chose them. Snoop requested "The Bird" by The Time. | |
