[PEACE63641]

[Mr1maine]

[SakhaTheDreamer]

2001: I was an insomniac, loved this song and listened to it at night.

2011: I'm an insomniac, still love this song and listen to it right now, at night.

It's funny how some things in your life just don't change.

[suziemesher]

Finally! I've been looking for this song for years.

[jc005e]

song reminds me of newyork

[wanderingimage]

yo this song is sickkk!

[tony28nawlinz]

yo how this video only has 30k views? this is classic. remind me of college years. memories! this song was much more popular.

[poopdoggiedog07]

Now this track is a classic stepper. Grab you a nice lil honey get on the dance floor and just groove.

[RKae858]

mmmmmm... one of my favorite Spooks songs ever

[bellacnella18]

love the music, very jazzy!

[slowjamz09]

i jus like the chorus xP

[1983Tarik]

Man I dig this here, ya heard me. One of the only cats in New Olreans with an opened mind to feel this song. Everybody use to clown because i was bumpin the spooks back in the game...lol

[cbluestarz]

Love these guys - what ever happened to them??

wb

[sydmclay]

@cbluestarz Water-water, one of their rappers, died in a car crash just after he left the band and then they split up. Sad as hell cos he clearly could have done a lot of great things but at least he got this sick album down.

[brnsilkysmooth]

1 of my fav. Dj Smooth : )

[kingdoc]

I love this album! never knew there was a video for this song.

ming's voice is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy.

[justindavidvazquez]

I remember listening to the Disappearing Acts Soundtrack just to hear this song...

[mingmusik]

Hey hey folks...

I just want to take the time out the thank ALL the followers and supporters of my music over the past few years. It's been a long road and your response and reaction has kept me focused on creating some really special music, all for your listening pleasure.

After the long delay (and the birth of my beautiful baby girl, hi kk! :), I am happy to announce that I will release my solo album for this Fall. mingmusik com

[gbgreen2009]

A Stepper's Cut!

[soma572u]

Sweet sultry voice and the bass line is deep

[mingmusik]

@soma572u : Thanks you so much

[monkeymunky666]

the spooks?  holy shit.

[mingmusik]

@monkeymunky666 Yup!!

[nicoldenoir]

This is so nice. I love the hip hop and jazz mix. I worked with them a few year back (in wardrobe) when they came to the UK. I can't believe one of them died :( it's understandable they would split up after. Such a shame as they were great group, so stylish, classy and one of a kind!

[moanman1776]

I had hoped this would be the face and sound of music in the 2K. This cut, the cd, and the group was such a cool and needed change of pace from the usual ish. Sadly, I guess people weren't ready for what they brought. This song still sounds as hip and brand new as it did when it 1st dropped. RIP, Water Water.

SPOOKS should be ruling the fusion game!

One.

[topodeno]

NICE AND EASY.....  GREAT!

[Gingerd2008]

Can somebody please tell me where to find that brotha in the video... tall, dark and handsome???

[tuchesuavae]

they and the fugees are two of the best groups in hip hop

[soopasta13]

I loved the Spooks....what happened to them, they shoulda blown up. It just goes to show you what really sells in this moral decay we call society. Ok enough preaching, I'll get off my soapbox now lol

[thedifferent14]

@soopasta13 What happened to them was that one of their members died in a car accident and they broke up. I guess it just wouldn't be the same with one of them gone.

[kamira1]

Ming Xia really needed to get her own record deal. She can SING!!

[tuchesuavae]

@kamira1 she's releasing a album and she has her mixtape available for free down load go to her youtube page. Still sounds good yo.

[mingmusik]

@kamira1 Your wish came true!! 3w mingmusik com

[anke3000]

i love this song!!! [except for the rapping] LMAO

[mingmusik]

@anke3000 LOL Stop that lol

[BitterBarbara]

lmao!!! We used to make funof this song back in college. His rhyme was so wack. 'instantly your shirts burgundy" haaaaaaaaaaaa. The chick could sing though, it has a nice melody but uhm yea.

[Entropy161]

@BitterBarbara LOL I agree the raps are, uh...'Not up to Par,' but they still go with the song. Matter of fact, that part you quoted sounded more like Slam Poetry.

And it goes without saying that the REST of the song/video is ill. I love Ming Xia's voice...

[BitterBarbara]

@Entropy161 That in fact they do. I remember this song was on the disappearing acts soundtrack and the video got a lot of airplay on BET. Yes, Ming Xia has a wonderful voice. Haven't heard from them in years.

[tuchesuavae]

@BitterBarbara it's slam poetry not a rop

[BitterBarbara]

@tuchesuavae I see, well that makes more sense. you meant *rap???

[egiroux1978]

why is this song not in the itunes store..WTF

[MyQuiche84]

I have not heard this since high school, people use to look at me crazy cuz i love this song and digable planets!!

[SuperBaroon]

Hey Apearrently!!! man Ming Xia can sing her head off.

[bonesiown]

hah broke-ass fugees. minf xui is the freshest tho

[TheRelentless1ne]

Kurrupt from Tha Dogg Pound makes a cameo in this video. Kurrupt and The Spooks were both on Antra Records together back in the day.

[562vert]

@TheRelentless1ne antra was kurupt's own lable

[tanyatmr]

Haven't heard this song or seen the video in years.

[GiantTarget]

Is this the Ming Xia that appears in Chali 2na's Fish Outta Water? Trying to Google info on this artist was a little tough.

[cdavenport31]

Makes me want to put on a nice button down shirt , a pair of slacks, go the a jazz club and sip on hennessey all night.

[FlaminNora22]

loved this group!! want there album real bad!! used to have it but its goten lost thro the yrs!! any ideas where to get album from??

[ming99x]

[nootie917]

[3xaVioN]

[acewellrules]

[pinkface28]

[Phokhotic]

[mrbruthaman]

My bad 2001

[dynamit20]

ohhhhhhhhhhh wie geil ist denn das!!!

i love this song!!!

[BigVilFromWestPhil]

The Spooks were so slept on.

I think some of them were from Philly

You can hear that influence in the music.

Sounds like ?uestlove's work

[Division1985]

I need to buy this CD..

[RareAngel74]

This is a JAM!!! And yes I totally agree with No1ZmeskalFan. But you will have those that will never get it. Thanks for the upload!

[No1ZmeskalFan]

Its funny. people think the rappers suck. They dont get the vibe of this song. Its more like spoken word type stuff than 50 cent or ludacris. OPEN UP PEOPLE

[ManofChrist101]

@No1ZmeskalFan alright so i take it you wouldnt mind telling me what the plot of this song is?

[igz666]

@No1ZmeskalFan so true..

[1134bigo]

@igz666 very very ture what goes around comes around......

[TheMORALE]

I miss your voice Ming.

[MissFunkentelect]

Wow! I haven't heard this joint in a long time. I remember first hearing them on okayplayer.

[TheMORALE]

I was missing Ming like crazy!

[MissFunkentelect]

I hear ya!

[lepoetress]

I saw this video on BET and they inspired a poem I wrote, using the hook " ...who I be" for the title. They came and it seemed like they just disappeared.

[MissFunkentelect]

Yeah, they did...they were tight, though.

[lepoetress]

I think people thought they were trying to be the next Groove Theroy. It seemed like there was alot of hostility towards them. I think some folks were of the mindset that they should either sing or rap, but not both. I'm so glad I found this because I feel in love with this the first time I heard it.

[lepoetress]

I meant to say fell in love. Excuse the typo.

[brooklynlevo]

smooth shit....supa dupa smooth track

[bonesiown]

this is the cut! ming is 1 of the nicest. those mc's stink tho. guys make em look like a broke-fugees. still... ming is the shit

[lilashlo71]

What happen to the Spooks ya'll??

they were a hot group.. Hell they still are...

[thick111dick]

anyone heard of safety house by spooks?

wicked thumpin track!

[zodiiak]

The whole album is sick.

[psboston7]

Her voice is so smooth this song was/is the SHYT!!

[crazyhorse788]

Ming your voice just turns me

[DJTroyB]

this joint is sinisterly smooth..dont know how is slipped by so many.

[thelonious1]

I love you,Ming Xia.

[brynteg]

Spooks.....Where are they now? I loved their sound. I was looking forward to lots of albums.

[No1ZmeskalFan]

I used to leave my tv on BET at night in the HOPES that this video would come on! I LOVE THIS SONG!

[Entropy161]

I do too, No1ZmeskalFan!! This song is sick, and so smooth! I also used to watch BET all the time hoping this video would come on. It sucks that the group didn't get the (Promotional) push they deserved, especially since I wasn't really feeling their first single 'Things I've Seen...'

[MsKalifornia]

LOL, me too! They played it from time to time on Midnight Love. This was definitely a HOT ass song that got slept on!

[FourFoot11]

THANK you.........I have been lookin' for this forEVER !!!

[khalithistle]

wasnt this the video for the "stargate remix" or something? it was more "epic" sounding than the the portishead-y album version, which is what this is

[Abdurazz]

YES....SERIOUSLY underrated...this was "The Big Payback" for a new gener8ion

[isisvenomz]

DEFINITELY under rated-but SIOSOS is STILL one of my favorite albums.

[562vert]

the spooks were under rated...they were tight.....RIP water water. Thats kurupt from DPG in th video.....id pick tha spooks over the black eyed peas anyday...

[gunstate]

ive been looking for this. very underrated.

[fromheller]

i love her voice

she sings so smoooooth and soft

[etk7]

great female vocal!

[lynntwill06]

To me they hated on this group why I never shall know.

[SidewalksOfNY315]

The Spooks debut album was so slept-on it should be considered criminal.

[Constavlos]

Is Leo the Lion in this video?

[666serialkiller666]

is the guy singing the kangaroo in the film Tank Girl??? Please someone reply...

Thanks

[psboston7]

HELLL to the YES!! another f'n kewl ass "theme" song this girl can BLOW!

[biggiesmallz8520]
