im from scotland and found raphael saadiq at the house of blues cd in a job lot at a market and he is amazing never heard it befor and am not realy into RnB but this is so good
Im 18 yrs old and I prefer to listen music like my mother always played his music along wit mint condition, new edition, all the old school music now a days is str8 up BS....but I love Raphael's music
Does anyone have a video of Raphael performing this live when it first came out? If anyone find this for me I'll add you on as a friend and subscribe to your channel.
The line "I love you Deja" is referring to the character by the name of Deja, played by Tyra Banks, in John Singleton's 1995 movie Higher Learning. For whoever asked.
I remember hearing thise song for the first time! I had a crush on Raphael Saadiq and I still do lol. If you haven't heard his new album you definitely need to check it out!
I heard this when i was a youngin and i still love this music. It is really sad what the music has turned into now. Most of it is retarded now we need a resolution in 2011-future
Soul Legend Raphael Saadiq exclusive: The musician talks about his new album “Stone Rollin”, his idols and why it’s so important for him to respect the Groove. Please find the portrait in the new issue of Red Bull’s magazine „Red Bulletin“. It’s sold at the kiosks beginning Tuesday, June 7th.
For more information just google “The Red Bulletin 2011”.
this will forever be a classic, i remember when this came out! wow, miss those days! makes me feel like 33y.o is old! some songs jam 4ever! thanks for posting
@bossb510 I mean, he's been around for almost 25 years, and they are acting as if they discovered him. Then the are saying the whole "If Black people made more music like this instead of rap, then I would be listening more". That's bullshit, because they were the same ones trying to destroy any genre of music that had to do with Black people (See: Rock and roll, jazz, blues and the attacks on hip hop and the whole "Disco Sucks" movement). Revisionist history at its finest, LMAO!!!
@deadeye800 The funny thing is that the same people who think he's new are the same ones who don't realize that he was the same guy in Tony! Toni! Tone!. They are familiar with "Feels Good" and "If I Had No Loot" because they were huge pop hits. It isn't like he just popped up out of nowhere, but you know how people from the burbs are- very late to the party, LMAO!!!!
@jnugiel I'm not making this up. If you don't believe me, just go to any videos released from Raphael Saadiq's new album "Stone Rollin'" and read the comments section on YouTube. It's both hilarious- and sad...
@MyJunior1975 They don't only do this to our music, but our history too. Ancient Egypt was black, but they are rewriting our history. They know how important history is to the black race of people, they also know what makes us so dangerous as a black race. That's why they get so angry and violent towards the black people who are awaken from this bind they had them in.If you don't have no history, it kills your character,mind,body, and soul.More blacks need to become scientist, so we can prevail
he did this this song for John Singleton, who wanted raph to write a song for his then girlfriend tyra banks..if u ever watched singleton's film 'higher learning'..they play this song during tyra's love scene...her character's name in the movie is DEJA
Now that was some major freakin with clothes on O-o Haha when a dude could wear braces & still be the man of R&B. what movie was this song on > Was it on booty call or a movie with Jada Pinkett Back in the day IDk
Thats real cute that your like 15 or 16 telling a grown man to move on. Im just curious of your opinion of this song because it seems that you just like to comment on what others write but really have no input of your own? If you cant respond intelligently i understand you're just a kid playing around on your little computer at home just looking to aggrivate somebody!
I honestly wouldnt care if today's R&B fell of the face of this Earth right now, and all we had was good 70's, 80's, and 90's R&B, I would be just fine with that.
@RBCHILD4EV Fa shizzle... I was bangin this tune with my girl back in 95' or so it was our song damn that was a good time... but seriously I love how he's reinvigorated Mo-Town sounds for us today. Damn, it never rains in southern Cali baby.
One of the most beautiful and sexy songs in.the.world! It will NEVER get old. When this came on, I tuned everyone and everything OUT--and just grooved.
