Who remembers this song? I absolutely loved it! I haven't heard it in years before I burned it onto a CD the other day, and my friends and I were driving around blasting it. It was great!

I STILL blast it!
Is he still in jail? What's he doin now, anyway?

Great song. Shame the guy pissed away his career.

It was a great sample. Dude totally ripped off Chuckii Booker's 'Games'.

great samples!

i think the drums are from "genius of love" (tom tom club)

one of the 90s best pop songs

Big meanie.

I'm sorry, but this was one of those songs that got played so much that I just wished it would die.

Great song but I hate the fact that DJs don't play the female monolouge ("Mark, stop talking about your big break...") in it just because she says "For God's sake" (and the media isn't conservtive!). I love that part it sounds terrible when they edit it becuase you can hear her talking and then they cut it. The song that Bobby Brown should have done in 1997 although I can't imagine his vocals on there (not that the vocals are great but Bobby's are...well).

What the fuck? Actin' like both of u know the drum sample on "Return Of The Mack" and I'm pathetic.. Y'all musta pumped Mark's joint more than I did then.

I'm not talking about the Chuckii Booker interpolation, just the drums.

I'm downloading this shit I haven't heard in 5 years RIGHT NOW just to try and figure out why you were both dissing me, re: the drums.

I hated him sooo bad! I always hated Euro r&b

Just as I remembered. And those drums are looped throughout Mark's entire song so

CinisterCee said:

Cinister's definitely right. I don't know where the discrepancies came in, but Morrison's tune obviously borrows from Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love.

Thank you, JANFAN4L!

CinisterCee said:

Bullshit, don't you realize that you are saying right now that 'Return Of The Mack' has the same beat as Mariah Carey's 'Fantasy'? That song was ripped from 'Genius Of Love'!

abierman said:

exactly, how does "return of the mack" sound like "genius of love?"

Who said anything about "Fantasy"?

I posted the drums from Tom Tom Club "Genius Of Love" which Mark Morrison "Return Of The Mack" used.

Yes, coincidentally, Mariah and co. also used those same drums along with the main riff/lyrics from "Genius of Love" [1981].
