[jack60r]

Se prendessimo tutti i "Numeri 1" di tutti tempi e li riunissimo, otterremo "l'insieme dei Numeri 1". Se all'interno di questo insieme decidessimo di individuare il "Numero 1", allora avremmo determinato il NUMERO UNO DEI NUMERI UNO. Indubitabilmente, quello sarebbe Johnny Watson.

[R0B0TRON]

Invented Rap? Cool song!

[beeshor1]

"She had them great big eyes and them great big legs and it gave my body a chill, so, you know, I never thought about the cost on the telephone bill."

Been there, done that, brother!

[100hebrew]

Three things.

C. Nobody has said anything about how ill this video is. I think you didn't notice how ill the gaphic lighting shining off the wall, record spinning... Is. So weird!!! Though the whole pic was the album cover..

[wedge4hire]

A Legend whose feet were always on the ground! Johnny's career was longer than most people realize. An exceptional talent.

Thanks for posting.

[TheGreatMozeek]

Mr. Williams, what's your problem? lmao

[TheGreatMozeek]

Mr. Watson seemed like he had skills all across the border.

[TheGreatMozeek]

I'm sorry. He DID have skills all across the border.

[othajr23]

U have too be cool to do this!

[kennylauderdale]

Johnny really reminds me of Andre 3000 from outkast. their styles are quite similar. story telling is a requirement of an artist. now and then. that's what makes music enjoyable. just like a good movie... throw in some good speakers, and some drank... and boom! you just been transported to the old school!

[runwayqueen190]

this is the JAMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

[klauszik]

That's rap that i could listen to all day. Great track.

[chuckiiboo]

[Msstrange1]

if you if you live in So Cal. You can visit him at the Forest Lawn cemetary

[begun101]

lil wayne took his flow and sound...

[hankymobley]

Johnny was a very cool and hip musician. This kind of "rap-singing", or call it something else, is very underestimated. His

[ls1killa]
