[hukupz3]

quite possibly the best fade in hip hop history! Good to see some meaningful lyrics cause you dont see that in new mainstream hiphop

[scootertharper]

[MzCappalot]

@scootertharper yes thats Mary j



[87DecadeRider]

@MzCappalot got mad love always for the queen of r&b, Mary J.... Damn i b missin new jack swing.

Im glad that its not just me that cant stand that poor of an excuse of (c)rap we here nowadays.

[rudebwooooy]

[exzotik81]

I wish they still made music like this. Nowadays, when rappers talk about women, they talk about sex.

[MultiHondaa]

i remember walking down the street with my sony boombox bumping this jam....lol

[msbrownsugaa]

Mary J. kills the hook!!!

[gropegrape]

@msbrownsugaa this song put her on the map

[JustThatGrl14]

i really like how he addressed the girl he is talking to as sweetheart

[crucial101]

fucking cool song.

[MrFreddyBJ]

The real one's are not around anymore....

[dogromeo]

a lot of respect to father mc, a lot of old school rappers always sing there old songs, but father mc always comes out with new stuff, he has a new album that came out in october last year, and he still raps as good as ever, but these days if you are not jay-z,eminem,lil wayne or whatever you don't have a chance, everybody should definetely check out his last song "holla back"

[inaj27]

this is the LICK!

[PsalmsNmyrrh]

my joint!

[lavalamp77]

Back when rappers talked about respecting women. Now it's about pouring bottles on bitches.

[cherryblossum99]

@lavalamp77

u are so right

[str8outtatexas1]

@lavalamp77 -i totally agree. just look at the views for a classic song that's not talking about bitches,guns,drugs,bling,strip clubs,cars,and other over hyped bullshit.a shitty ass 108,915 views and illiterate,no rapping,no singing niggas like gucci mane,waka flocka,souljah boy,lil b. and others whack ass clowns have millions of views. man who in the fuck is behind the creation of this shitty ass music being produced today? 2000's rap & r&b will never become future classic music ever! GARBAGE

[87DecadeRider]

@str8outtatexas1 u goddamn right homie... Hip Hop, Rap and especially R&B started falling off around the end of 1996, is now is dying a very slow and painful death. i just can get into most of the bullshit gettin play these days. Aint feelin it. Who in the fuck is producing this shit? Where is Teddy Riley, when we need him the most? I miss the days when Babyface, Al B., Ralph Tresvant and Troop and a Tribe was being played on the radio... Really Doe.

[str8outtatexas1]

@87DecadeRider -I feel you brah.it's not that we're older and time has passed us by,it's just the fact that we were brought up on great voices,funky ass beats,great entertainers,well dressed artist,great interviews by the artist and so on. now since the undercover, behind closed doors organizations who control this shit has thrown all the classic shit aside just too promote ignorance,stupidity, & homicides and capitalize off these weak ass, blind sheep who buys this garbage out there today.SAD

[BKLOUNGE321]

I know this guy

[RuzMark]

Naa todays rap is pretty dope, But it will never be better than this kind of stuff.

[srh303longtown]

[desking28]

[AHIZAS]

I first heard Mary J Blige in this song back in the days! aaaah love it!

[ColeeWolee]

This is such a beautiful tune. They don't make them like they used to, and haven't for a LONG, LONG time.

[angelican4]

THIS WAS MY JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FULLmeltHASH]

I was searching for this by the wrong name.. I was searching "to be real"

then I did a google search on the only lyrics I remembered from this song...

"Since we both know what we want let's get it together, and fly like two birds up a feather"

[FULLmeltHASH]

This SOOO brings back memories of Jr. High!!!

[marioschick92]

WHOOO GO MJB! YEA!

[reg1167]

[ScienceProjek]

[STONECOLD191]

[sweetttina666]

Safe rap?

[DyckmansDiablo]

This is the shit, so I'm guessing Father MC used this sample before Positive K? since the early 90's it must have bee used a thousand times no doubt

[mistermarkus73]

Father MC should always be remembered for introducing Mary J. Blige and Jodeci

[Apexed818]

thank god 93.5 Kday is back.....Power 106 has officially sold out to buggaboo music. So called "new shit" is literally just that.

[Blackwido88]

true dat...lol...I only wish kday would come in more clear...I hate power 106 now...

[duhhhitsjustin]

This is when it was FUN.

[duhhhitsjustin]

Old school rap is definitely the best. Today's rap is more like crap.

[hueyesco]

@duhhhitsjustin Honestly you're 100% right.... Rap now ain't nothing but CRAP

[BossipVideo]

@duhhhitsjustin

Real talk. We were part of the beginning of this spiraled out of control new age mess.

[whitekid3]

@duhhhitsjustin fuck dude, without a doubt... rap used to be dope and gansta, the shit now is weak and gay as hell

[itSzNISAbItCh]

This is my shyte!!!! Old skool rap is the best!!!!

[QuietStormMan]

Takes me back to 8th grade. Everyone was jamming to it at a junior high dance.

.....and so clever for Father MC to sample Cheryl lynn's '79's "got to be real " to give it an "updated disco tune"

[LifeSucksSoberOrHigh]

I haven't heard this song since around 1992!,.. I was in Jr. High School! -.... loving it!

[migama1]

a half full beer is in need of a refill but a half empty chocolate milk is fufilling  peace td

[skinnyd93]

Father wasnt the best mc but his hooks were catchy as hell

[aolhomo]

I love this song- clean, old school, great sample- classic.

[JayneMariefromDet]

Ive been searchin for this all over. Couldn't remember who did it. Finally posted this on Cheryl Lynn Gotta Be Real vid:

"I'm trying to find a song that sampled this song, part of the lyrics were "If you do for me, I'll do for you. If you do for me, I'll do for you." I can't remember who sang it. I think that was the hook or the bridge and it was a girl or girl group singing that part if not the whole song. That's the only part of the song I can remember.

[jaedynasty]

this song is the shit

[antshirah4eva]

this is a classic

[CockyLambert]

this guy as a such respect for womens
