My hate for this song knows no bounds. This and that song from the soundtrack of Set it Off that they did.

You must have not heard their Masterpiece Theater album. That is definitely EV at their worst.

I never thought about it, but they should have done a rock album following the success of Don't Let Go. The sound of the single "Whatever" was rather generic suiting SWV working with P.Diddy at the time more, and made Don't Let Go sound out of place on the EV3 album. Doing the rock album would have taken female r&b towards a new direction like some of the songs TLC and Aaliyah did, but to the next level. Collabs with Slash and Ernie Isley would have been awesome.

I agree with you for sure. I think they wanted to work with Babyface, David Foster and a few other "hot" producers at the time and that is why they came up with EV3. To me, that project always felt like a record company album and not an EnVogue/Thomas McElroy/Denzel Foster album.

When they did go back to work with Foster and McElroy, it didn't work at all.

Ironically this song is when I started to really get into Funkadelic once I realized they borrowed that phrase from him (of course they replaced "your ass" with "the rest" but it's still the same). lol One of my favorite EV songs.
