nicolay is far ahead of many other producers. I hope every hiphop-head notices that production like this is far more complex than many other beats. takes up more skillz than sampling
@beatmixxxes Exactly. We need more producers like that. I like that Nicolay teamed up with Zo! for this song. Both are underrated musicians and producers who can out-produce most other hip hop/R&B producers out today.
@guitarplayer123 Appreciate the love. I don't know if I'll get taken down mainly because I use this channel as a form of promotion. They've used my channel to add videos to their facebook profile. I would've gotten a message from them long ago if they wanted me to take the videos off. Besides I always add the link of their website to the videos.
@lpfan091989 you say they've used? if you really mean the foreign exchange has asked you to do something for them then wow, thats so awesome! Much much love. This music gets me through a lot.
@guitarplayer123 Yeah, they have shared the videos that I upload of their songs on facebook. They've never asked me for anything, I wish. I wouldn't mind since I'm a fan of them.
@lpfan091989 Even though I dont know you personaly, I feel even more greatful to have found your channel and even more that you take time to messege me back. I am very jealous but with love. I hope Phonte and Nicolay never stop.
I really prefer this version over Stevie's. A rare case of me liking the cover over the original. This one is just so much more soulful and the vibe is more smooth. But thats just my opinion.
It OK only because of that sweet azz melody of Stevie's, but the counter point of the beat lacks the pizazz*** I see why Stevie kick that beat like that, it's like the shell around and egg, she's got beeeeautiful voice, it is so sweet I can taste it.
THIS IS SOME VERY SMOOTH ISHH RIGHT HERE. IVE BEEN HOOKED SINCE THEY CAME OUT. THIS IS THE TYPE OF MUSIC WE NEED TO COMBAT ALL THE B.S. THATS OUT NOW!!
THERE'S SUM CLASSIC SHIT COMIN' OUT OF NC & I CAN HEAR THAT ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE IN DALLAS, TX! WOOOOOW! FE WILL BE A GROUP THAT'LL BE PLAYED EONS FROM NOW!
i found this song listening to LastFM on my Xbox 360. it's a really great song and I heard Sweeter Than You. I'm gonna get this album....a definite must have.
I don't think everyone is ready for em yet... There are a select few who listen to FE and we all can agree we get that feeling that warmth that glow inside that just explodes from deep inside of our very being and only who listen to it know. These so called no-bodies is what makes it so precious and true for all who currently flow along with them now either way I'm blessed to have stumbled across them for over a year now
Why the fuck are these cats being slept on??? You know what, fuck that!!!! I challenge any and everyone who listens to FE to spread this to at least 10 people. That way the masses can understand what good music truly is!!! BTW, for those who dont know, Phonte is a beast on the MIC!!! This album is plain soul food!!!!!
FX is my new found favorite. this is just proof that true artistry and collaboration is possible. and also proof that hip hop isnt dead, its just underground folks. long live true hip hop.
im officially obssed with FX i have Connected and just recently got this album. im tellin you if its your first time listening to these guys it just doesn get better then this.
The morning show on CW plays the instrumentals to this album every once in a while when it breaks to commercial. Thats the only exposure that I know of for this album. I absolutely love it. 1st and 2nd album will stay embedded in memory forever.
The brilliance of Stevie Wonder was captured very well in this song! This is one my my favorites from him - and The Foreign Exchange did justice to this remake!
lol, i'm one of those young bucks too then i guess haha. Never saw the movie or heard the soundtrack besides "Jungle Fever" by way of Carleton on Fresh Prince LOL.
Pure genius, as mentioned before by Atisuto, definitely a very good remake of one of the many hits by the incomparable Stevie Wonder featuring Kimberly Brewer. Almost lost it when I heard this song, this song is amazing and the album itself is a must have. Big up Phonte and Nicolay
Kudos upon you, Phonte, for even considerin' this musical gem from back in the day...one of my favorite tracks from "Jungle Fever" (and my Dad's as well, lmao)!
There shouldn't be a dislike button on youtube for obviously beautiful music. If you don't like it, why did you search for it anyway?
