  • Sit yo big, purple shirt and wicker hat wearing ass down, woman! You're ruining the shot!

  • @morpheusxnyc lol

  • Gay or not should not be the topic of this post. I'm am sure that bknicca posted this live performance of Rahsaan Patterson mainly to show us all just how very talented he is live. I think we all agree that he truly is a great vocalist. That should be that focus of our comments here.

  • Comment removed

  • @Mixedbreed3 I TOTALLY AGREE!!! I'D LOVE TO GET BACK TO WHEN MUSIC WAS ABOUT THE MUSIC AND NOT ABOUT THE ARTISTS' LOOKS, AGE OR SEXUAL PREFERENCE!!!

  • RAH KILLS this live on all levels...this is how a performance should be done!

  • His voice is so smooth and it reminds me of Shaka Khan. His the bomb.

  • HE WAS A QUEEN AT A EARLY AGE 

  • Whether someone is gay or not is not the problem the problem lies in the fact that everything we eat makes us sicker. When we get to the doctor you are given pills which furthers toxifies your body and when we are older you cannot stand and compete and farther expand your investment portfolio all the while the derivative guys on wall street continue to rob the country blind...these are the real issues we need to address that affect all of us!

  • @rodneyj2: you bring up a lot of good points. The "power" does not give a damn about us and does everything it can to keep us distracted and uneducated. If people are really tired, then they should start letting these "powers" know by any means necessary.

    Back to the video: I did not know Rahsaan Patterson was gay and I really don't care since it does not impact my life. It's all good as long as me keeps making good songs.

  • This is the true breakdown "The powers that be" want us to feel separated for they now if we really got tired of the way we are treated at work, if we really got tired of the cost of an education, bank fees and on and on and stood together and boycotted and did not do business with banks, companies etc. that took advantage that less than 3% would grow and more of us could really live the American dream. So you see are strength lies in each other...

  • The powers that be want us to feel as if we are separated. Take for instance some statistics...90% of Americans have no net worth. Everything they make they spend on bills etc..Less than 3% of Americans make over six figures. That lets you know that there are very few people who really "got it like that" all the other people we see in the Apple store driving Mercedes and BMW's are no better off than the rest of us, they do not have enough money not to waist time which is true wealth.

  • It is so amazing how we as human beings fall into what we are told, or taught by other human beings who were taught judgment, hate and separation. sometimes I feel as if society and black individuals particularly think gays are the enemy WE are not. We are all in this together especially black people a lot of places you walk into do not care who you sleep with they see the color of your skin. Back in the 60's when we stood together we changed the world. Our strength lies in unity!

  • he reminds me of a male chaka khan 4real. and them background vocalist are blending with him so perfectly.

  • I wouldn't care if he was a Leprechon! He is blessed with an extraordinary instrument!

  • this man melts my heart

  • He could sing the ABC"s and I'd still buy the CD...Rah ia an underappreciated talent. I love his voice, his vocal style, and the fact that he doesnt make any apologies for however he may or may not live. Grow the hell up people... Take the music for what it is and not what you may believe the lifestyle of the person behind it may be.

  • Seen a true story about Rahsaan on how he was molested at church as a child...its a sad story. but through all that, he makes good music

  • Its obvious he's gay. So What? He's an extremely talented artist. Most of the baddest male vocalist were. Freddy Jackson, Teddy P., Luther etc. Strange. But True. So were many of the best gospel vocalist Donnie, Tonex, J. Cleveland, Andre Crouch, Darryl Coley, thomas Whitfield, the list goes on. Weird, but true. Many although married but still secretly different.

  • @blakman74 ooohh for sure but is okay as long as they don't stare on my ass and deliver good music to make good love to a tight woman hahahaha

  • 4099aj~He's Good

  • Rahsaan can wear a f-ing dress and he'll still be my favorite. @ 4Yolanda i would be screamin all through the video too, and you probably wouldnt have a picture...that's how his voice makes you feel and we dont have to explain that..cause we love him.

  • Who cares about him being gay....anyone that is old enough to remember "Kids Incorporated" knew he was gay back then. He still had the voice and that is undeniable! Rahsaan is one of my favorite artists..hands down!

  • @VirgoLuv73 amen i agree who cares if he's gay! He's the best R&B singer! Now if the rest of the artists and rappers come out it'll be all good! The man vocal abilities is a BEAST! and real musical hearers appreciate this kind of music!

  • @VirgoLuv73 Omg!!!! RASHAAN'S GAY?!?!?!?!?!?!? I THOUGHT THAT HE IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED VOCALIST IN THE CENTURY!!!!!!!!! (I'm being sarcastic) I agree with you who cares the man is great at what he does

  • He may be gay but he is bomb just like stokley from mint condition

  • Stokley Williams is not gay @ Dubbiejay... In fact, he married. Granted, there are men who are married and still are gay.  But talent is talent... It dosen't matter and if you love music you would appericate a dog singing if it sounds good.

  • sorry 4yolanda but he is in fact gay...no less talented of course...but definitely gay..per an excerpt from wikipedia: "In a 2008 discussion about being a gay artist with gay station Logo, for example, he said that "For me, it's not about being 'the gay artist'; I'm an artist." ...so im not sure what source youre citing but its pretty clear from this quote that hes not straight..

  • If I brought a camera to a show to tape it's most likely one of my favorite artist and ultimately recorded for my enjoyment so if I choose to scream all over the tape I think it should be my right to do so especially since you never know if you'll get to see the artist again. And Rahsaan is not a homosexual he was on an interview explaining his journey and I wouldn't care If he was just thought you all should have the most up to date info.

  • So was Luther Vandross, and many others....but stil we love the music!

  • This dude is Baad!!! And I mean that in a good way!!! Blew My Mind!!!

  • One of my favourite singers

  • ABSOULETY WONDERFUL

  • THIS GUY IS THE BOMB

  • he is such a talented man...wow!

  • Sounds like magic. One of my favorite songs. Where is this guy? Absolutely beautiful, wonderful, entertaining, simply good music.

  • I love this song! This would have been a great video had it not been for the woman yelling in the background!!!!!!!

  • This song is hot!!!!

  • can someone post from the cd

  • I can't take it!!!!

  • Get the woman to sit her fat ass down so we can see. I wish Rahsaan would come to ATL. He and Ledisi love to do DC together. ATL would support that concert. Come on by.

  • I'll admit, I'm a youngin' but I know good music when I hear it and this is my favorite song of all time. My baby's baby's gonna be singing this!

  • get it!!!!!!! please don't hurt 'em!!!

  • this is one talented artist who does not get his props. do your thing Rahsaan.

  • anybody have the cd version of spend the night

  • I like RP and this song, but this rendition sucks.

  • He's the greatest... thanks for this video!!!

  • 1:42 is FUCKN RIDICULOUS...KILL IT BROVAH!

  • Ditto, a BAD BROTHA!!! Oh so smooth.

  • This is the song that got me hooked on Rahsaan back in '97...you bad brotha!!!

  • still underated by a long shot but those that know hes top five fall all time.and sure boy is my theme tune.love that song!!!!!!

  • Now this is what I'm talking about.  Someone singing with soul and talent. I could listen to him sing all day!

  • We shld STOP comparing & just enjoy the music that ALL the brothas mentioned are affording us, reminding us of how deeply ingrained the black spirit is

  • The band is killing..

  • Goldiel32 said it best

    "goldiel32 I dont care if you blind crippled and crazy, u sang the hell outta that!"

    I could listen to him all day.

  • i can't front the cat is talented. i'll be the first to admit that i slept on this cat. dude is a beast (that is a good thing for those who don't know)

  • Rahsaan, baby!!!! I would probably die if I heard you riff in person...uuuhhh!! Mesmerizing!

  • i was at a music fest in the uk near liverpool and this brother had a small band with him.this brother put tears in my eyes and im one big grown man.if you like rahsaan you like real music.peace and many blessings.

  • Oh Yes indeed, They'll have to call the paramedics on both of us! LOL! I LOOVE when he "Breaks It Down"! He's showin' out! lol! I'll bet he could turn a nursery rhyme into a jam! 

    "Old Mc Donald...break it down..." with all the hypnotizing riffs, scats and adlibs!!!

  • This man give me chill bumps everytime I hear any of his music.

  • Preach..him and Stokely from Mint Cond.

  • sexy and original

  • this is a jam. no doubt

  • Who has information about him being gay and where did they get the information from

  • talent goes separate ways not all will be famous not all will please everyone but along the way there shoud be good better best.my best is your good or better.this song rocks especially when ur crying overtime.if u can't feel this song then talent goes separate ways

  • Rahsaan is so cold! His vocals are very similar to Tonex. They both have so much control, range and soul. Mad props, Rahsaan! Keep flowing, my man!

  • Go Rahsaan. I dont care if you blind crippled and crazy, u sang the hell outta that!

  • This is a talented brotha...the only reason he hasnt made it as far as the other peeps in Kids Inc. is because he's is GAY...The world is so fuckin unfair!

  • what other notable names came from that show? i dont agree that what u call a lack of success is due to him being gay tho. its due to the fact that real music has taken a backseat to bullshit music and imagery these days. theres many gay artists out there same as Ra'.

  • Being a Gay black male I know from experience that our people especially shun gays in the music industry and will not support our music,but I have also learned that in particular, black men have such a phony phobia towards us! Black men usually put their hearts in their craft. Artist like Luther Vandross was and exception to the rule,even though he was gay and his music was top notch....con'td

  • if you noticed, he always used his backround singers i.e. Lisa Fischer,Tiwatha Agee and Ciny Mizelle to display the inner him with the gowns,theatrics,and makeup! His music was also so mainstream that he didn't fall into the catagory like Rassahn. Other famous peeps from Kids Inc. were Shanice,Fergie,Jennifer Love Hewitt!

  • point well made. well it dont matter to me the boy's got talent, i've always been a fan of his. peace. and good lookin on the info from the kids inc. thing.

  • his band is killin

  • So effortless.... that boy is the truth!

  • this song was my fav off of his first album. He really killed it live. wow

  • this was my favorite song off of his first album i liked so much. my daughter Sabrell was concieved from these melodies.

  • dude, he kilt it. not killed, kilt.

  • How can not love Mr. Patterson, he's the truth.

  • the most underated singer in the world.this guy is better then any of the frauds out there rite now.they all wish they could sang like this ya'll.

  • Tell your grandma in the purple to sit down, and you aunties to shut up the man is singin. He seems like a gay church boy that slid all the way back into the world.

  • What's with your obsession with Blacks, their historic past, and Homosexuals. HMMMMM, somebody needs therapy. YOU KNOW YOU LOVE HIM, TOO. Everyone has a right to like who they want. You better to hide in your trailer! QUICK-take cover before a man comes after you and makes you bend over since you love to take FAG talk sooooo much. Don't forget - THERAPY, and a decent bath!!!

  • Why are you even responding to this idiot? It's obvious he wants people to pay attention to him with the shit he is talking about. He seems to be some Rashaan stalker or something because he makes these comments on other Rashaan Patterson videos.

  • Somebody needs to tell that fool somethin'! Yeah, I saw that mess ( those other comments). He IS a Rahsaan Stalker for sure

  • Rahsaan can damn sang and is just talented..I enjoy watching him get in his zone and just go...brah can go..live fuhgeddaboutit

  • Rahsaan can be compared but totally different artists altogether... the only thing that links them is the delivery style... however Rahsaan is more laid back whereas Tonex is energetic.

  • This man give me chill bumps everytime I hear any of his music. He has major vocal skills!!!!!!!

  • I love this song it is so romantic

  • Good sound but can't watch the video for fear of puking!

  • i love it

  • this is my boy all the way talented!

  • why he cut his long ass hair???

  • hes going bald

  • Rahsaan and Tonex sounds alike in their tone. However Tonex's vocal range extends more than Rashaan's. Listen to Tonex's "Know you Lord" live and "Make me over again"! I think Rashaan's style is more like Stokley's from Mint Condition. Stokley displays more versatility in his voice though; that man can sing any genre of music and play any instrument he touches. All of these artist have their talents that God has blessed them with.

  • Tonex seems to sound more like Stokley than Rashaan, but I love Tonex's voice. Rashaan's voice sounds kind of like a sped up record...it's a distinct sound.

  • i agree with nypstar. what the hell is that fool bentfamily talking about? give somebody a keyboard and they become an expert all of a sudden. rahsaan has more versatility thank weak ass Stokley, get serious!

  • Iz you crazy?? Stokley ain't weak. You must be stupid too think dat. Stokley & Rashaan are just about the same, it's that (like bentfamily said), "Stokley displays more versatility in his voice."

  • Rahsaan may even be the better singer, but his musicianship does not match Stokley's. Stokley's musical ear has been compared to artist like Steive Wonder, Prince, D'angelo etc. He could damn near make a album all by himself in the studio. I must say that Rahsaan is very consistant vocally when performing live. Stokley at times lacks vocally live but when he's feeling it, he's Spectacular! He and Tonex are probably the best male riffers I've ever heard.

  • Rahsaan's musicianship has been compared to Stevie Wonder, Prince and Chaka Khan as well.

    I don't think one should be put down to give credit to the other.

  • Oh its for Sure Rashaan voice cant hit the notes Tonex watch my video of Tonex singing acapella

  • Rahsaan's riffs, ad libs, just EVERYTHING that comes out of him sounds gorgeous. Go 'head on w/ya bad self, brotha!

  • I love this man. He is so smooth. Why is real music disregarded...ugh!

  • Rah...you're a beast man and that's for real! This is one of my very favorite songs by him!

  • que bueno es este tio!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is great!

  • He has a very dynamic voice.

  • his voice.........................­wow!

  • ain't nobody betta.

  • Best vocalist I've ever heard

  • he sounds just like Chaka doing his little scats. I love his voice though its so unique.

  • Yes I remember him when he was with Kids Incoporated. He is sooo talented. I love me some Rashaan. I have all of his albums. The Man can blow!

  • Good God I just realized this is the same dude from Kids Incorporated. I'm glad to see his music career is takin off. I hope he gets more radio play. He can sing!

  • Thank you! I've been trying to figure out where I knew him from, and you cleared that up for me. I used to love Kids, Inc. and I knew I heard him from somewhere before...

  • I hear Chaka all up in his voice

  • I love this~!

  • I LOVE ME SOME HIM! GREAT MUSICIAN.

  • seen this great artist 3 times in the uk.and belive me if he comes back im going again.now hes a true singer with soul.may blessing all.
