Brown Sugar

[andyncfcgetshypedup]

Damn. So Smooth Brother. Sweet as a drug.

[urboyTheTruth]

I got this song on my I pod right now. They don't make MUSIC like this no more and it is a crying shame.:(

[80sgldnldy]

Oh D'Angelo! Where for art thou D'Angelo? Real r&b music, from a real artist, whose album was SOOOO BOMB! Awwh man...9th grade his ablum was in rotation! No question! We miss you D'Angelo!!! COME BACK!!!!!

[icemannn96]

Cant believe this song does not even have up to one million views. The younger generation are lost and completely clueless about what real music is all about... i ain't dissing i just feel sorry for them! I was about 15 when this came out! cant imagine being 15 now and listening to what we have today! RIP pure soul, hope you get resurrected one day!

[camdenpeanut]

@icemannn96 i think the term is "sheep" because now they all just follow the crowds rather than have there own individuality, i mean listen to how subtle the tune is yet it really hits you deep, i keep dropping tunes like this on friends and family of the younger generations and they all ask what is that tune. dropped 187 by the whitehead brothers to a few just to show that tunes can come and go but you need to check out the roots of music really.

[icemannn96]

@camdenpeanut lol! i feel u, the sad thing is they dont even know that good music like this ever existed! all they see is pussycat dolls, young money and souljah boy... what a mess!!!

[robertoalmazansales]

D WUEVOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[MegaLungsta]

I want some of your brown sugar,sugar *singing*.

[CrazyLeafNinja5]

this song is about an attractive, pretty, sexy, female – with face and body, of a medium Brown to Honey colored skin complexion.

[MrAlekssings]

Rythm, sexy vocals, groove, talent.. This is enjoyment and quality

[dizocb]

This is a fucking weed song

[Medusa444]

a song about Heroin...imagine...not brown sugar ladies

[sistersilverfox]

@Medusa444 : It's about weed...Check out the first line..."we met in Philly"...next line to..."Thats why my eyes are a shade of RED"...

[Medusa444]

@sistersilverfox Thats so strange, I did not write that comment. Have had a few issues with people hacking my accounts. Apologies. Great song though!

[stephgonzales36]

OHH BABY

[Donnomercy]

don't sleep on Richmond VA..to my homie D. A. nice.........

[KiyaChoosinq]

dhis song is abt weed.! not heroin

[RealismOfLife]

Just cant find a video as live and natural as this anymore, i mean you just cantttt....All the beautiful sistas with the natural hair, all shades, i mean damn its a beautiful thing we need more music vids and singers like this

[SabbiShake]

this is the reeeeeal thing, this is music

[Cuckooolala]

Shiiiiiit, almost forgot about this tune!!

[Coml3teBliss]

s0ng is s000 s00thing,,,,,,

[brownmajic48]

THIS IS A REMAKE FOM BACK IN THE OLD DAYS....

[witness623]

its a double entendre about the black woman of course, and most likely cannabis.

[yoyoseeme09]

@b61227

the only evidence its about heroin is the color. other than that, all signs point to weed. sorry :(

[lefmeman]

this guy is a crack head now.

[Briancl33]

This song is about weed for sure, "That's why my eyes are a shade of blunt burgundy", "Even got a big sister by the name of chocolatai" and he also says at the end "I don't think ya'll hear me" "I met her in Philly" as in a philly blunt "I gets high off your love"

[jiggaberryhazejr]

@Briancl33 Stoners get dumber every god damn day. Yeah, there are a few references, but seriously dog? Shit, he says "blood burgundy".

[kiera843]

@Briancl33 I think hes talking about weed and sistas at the same time! lol...double meanings ya know!

[sistersilverfox]

@kiera843 : Definitely about weed...not Sistas at all..But, if we wanna claim the LOVE anyway...No harm, no foul!!

[OriginalK17]

this makes me just idk melt

[Codycole80]

Whatever happened to the blond, natural chick?

[MsEthnicBeauty]

Most people are not listening to the lyrics its about a sista with smooth like butta skin that he cant get enough of!!!!

[MrDeeboi33]

For Davina........................­..

[TheSweetestFantasy]

this is back when R&B was really rhythm and blues, music was about more than cars, "video vixens", materialistic bullshit...it was about making those who listened to it feel good and want to dance. Music like this is TIMELESS. That means it'll be relevant years from now, it transverses time.

You can play this in 2035 and it'll still sound good and make people move.

In 2035 singers like Trey Songz's music...won't have any relevancy at all...

"say ahhh" will be looked at as some expired b.s

[bk50in09]

Grown Man Shit.

[djcaz97]

@bk50in09 Couldnt agree more bra!!!

[WuXaolin]

The first cut by d'angelo"brown suger" was by far the coldest traCK HE WILL EVER PUT OUT. TOO BAD THE COKE GOT HIS ASS NOW.

[ihearthg08]

@WuXaolin ugh I know

[TheRosssaunders1]

the dude not talking about weed he s talking about the browen sugar ,if ur brave you know what im talking about,its the shissssle

[ihearthg08]

@TheRosssaunders1 whats this brown sugar you talking about if it's not weed!?

[cybillsybil]

@ihearthg08 heroin

[oka1004t]

Ali Shaheed yeah

[juswolf22]

unless old pops was talkin about mary jane then they had nothin in common lol

[peaceLOVEcheer22]

my mom tortures me with this song!!

[TheTallMan35]

All that smoking is gonna have an adverse effect on his singing voice over time. Nice one here.

[CristinaRobu]

oh man! this is so smooth!

[jlmci]

When D'Angelo made this song he wasn't just talkin about a women he was talkin about weed and sayin that his women was weed and how high she gets him off of her and wat she do listen to the song...

[jacobsolether]

@jlmci its an analogy dude. you can get high off life or love any day without weed. weed just amplifies it by a thousand. lol but i really believe d'angelo said i get high off your love..idk how to behave.

[grneyes380]

awwwww this song brings back memories ... i was 15 yrs old dating my first love(who i later married lol ) that was our songggg ... its smooth and classy with a splash of sex appeal ..;)

[guru25122008]

maybe U r right Houari2000

[chb018]

I love this music I grew up to it. Kanye is cool , I know his last album was trash but he is still a good artist.

[Houari2000]

This song is about smoking a blunt (Weed)...not Heroin. 

[duncabbin]

@Houari2000 No it isnt.

[cj06feb]

Oh my i love me some brown sugar 2......... Mmmm

[suganias]

lmao this is about drugs ...wow @those of you who dont know

[guru25122008]

This song is not about some Girl, it`s about HEROIN (listen da words) 

[Houari2000]

@guru25122008 Its about smoking a blunt (weed) not Heroin man.

[cocolahtay]

he was only 21 at the time.

[guru25122008]

Tha song is great, but, sorry to disapointe you all. its not about Love, its about Heroin.. ;)

[guru25122008]

@guru25122008 

[edsonflores25]

"The way that we kiss is unlike any other way

That I be kissin' when I'm kissin' what I'm missin'

Won't you listen"...

DAWM!!! :D

[MCJ1983]

'95 Timeless Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JellyKimSugarBoom14]

[Solful38]

Adriana Evans' albums "Walking With The Night"

& "El Camino" now available in the US on itunes!!!

[rodney1b]

cats now days are soo disengage from real music.. Who would give this song a thumbs down.. lame!!

[janetkify]

This song is seriously sexy, black women are indeed the sexiest women alive. take a look at the curves, hips, we glow.

[fathemi]

@janetkify all a matter of opinion

[janetkify]

@fathemi awww!!!! you ain't sexy are you, too bad, ain't anybody's fault.

[fathemi]

@janetkify ????????????????????

[Datpimpuhate]

ha..look at that chicks eye brows y0......stilla dope vid tho

[mazayme]

i want,iwant,iwant

[54Aaron88]

this is a straight up jam. blow out your speakers listening to this shit

[dianitafitfourlife]

Well, you young bloods, for an old schooler like myself.....to me he's referring to the African American ladies as the "Brown Sugar". Regardless, this song is jazzy, soul foul and yes sexy too.

[sherri3]

Throwbackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk - I miss this kind of music!

[utubemyspaceaim]

"even got a big sister by the name of chocolate thai" chocolate thai is a strain of weed... thats cool tho nothing wrong with herb.. yall should put the drinks away and get some brown sugar

[lilHektor]

this shit ,,,iis hot , this is my shit i love this ,

[PLAUSEABLE]

yeah come get some of this brown sugar

[LAanuski]

i love this song ,i remember .....

[chillchic89]

Anybody who knows the story about this song understands that Brown Sugar is a metaphor for weed (kind of like, Rick James' Mary Jane).

D'Angelo must be a genius 'cause some of yall still don't realize what he's doing here.

[Flash13FLy]

@chillchic89 yeah i heard that he was talkin bout weed too.

[duncabbin]

@chillchic89 I reckon he is talking about sweet shitholes.

[pricelessnikki]

OMG one of my fav's of all time! Damn I really do miss D

[iHipHop]

this aint bout no heroin. its about marijuana. Brown Sugar. And it could be both...a woman and weed.

[rodneyhotrod]

i dig it lol

[brownsugar976]

If you listen when he's on the elevator with the older man...the older man mention he use to have alot of brownsugar..NOTICE D ASKED HIM WHAT KIND OF BROWNSUGAR?? THAT'S WHERE ALOT OF COMMENTS GET LOST, HE KNOW HE'S TRYING TO CONFUSE SOME THE DUMB ONES..I THINK...LOL ANYWAY THE BROWNSUGAR YOU CANT BUY IN THE STORE IS DRUGS AND OR SEX....HE'S TALKING ABOUT BOTH WHY PPL CANT HEAR THAT?? IS BEYOND BROWNSUGAR

[micljnes]

OMG, any1 thinks this song is about drugs must be on themselves.

Anyways, baby this is for ya, and you most certainly are the sugar in 'all' of my fav drinks, love you kitten, mwaaaaaaaaaaah

[brownsuga4513]

i feel sooo dumb now i thought the whole time he was actually talkin bout a girl but now that i actually listen to the lyrics i see he's actually talking about drugs :(

[brownsugar976]

@brownsuga4513 brownsugar w/o the r and diff #'s he could be talking about both. it's called a double entendre you can take it both ways

[HitPalaceTV]

This album was a big influence on me D'man. So smooth its creamy.

[streetfighter125]

brown sugar is a type of weed yes brown sugar is another way of saying herion but this brown sugar hes talking about is weed brown sugar kush very rare but very good just had it i recommed it highly but if u dont believe me listen to the lyrics or search brown sugar kush on google

[misstiffca]

why does everyone think its heroin?

chocolate tha = another name for a certin type of weed

met in philly = uh hello philly blunts (its a cigar brand)

blood shot eyes = you smoke week - eyes do turn red

so pls someone tell me how this song is about heroin...all this time i thought it was weed. is everyone thinking of the rolling stones song "brown sugar" which IS about heroin??

[brownsugar976]

@misstiffca THAT WAS A GOOD BREAK DOWN STILL CAN MEAN BOTH OR WHAT HAVE YOU??

[chinesewriting]

@misstiffca yea i feel u on this baby. i would agree, weed & beautiful african women. good synopsis.

[snickerdoodle69420]

lmfao it's about heroin and both D'Angelo and the old man are both going to pick up some "brown sugar" lol

[masterminekid90]

d'angelo come back to the game we need you bra.

[chinesewriting]

@masterminekid90 he was comin bck cuz kanye was supposed 2 look out for him but he changed his mine cuz they ain't think it would b a good business decision since he had got into drugs & stuff. i really hate it.

[DestructiveMechanism]

Let me tell you 'bout this girl

Maybe I shouldn't

I met her in Philly and her name was Brown Sugar

See, we be making love constantly

That's why my eyes are a shade blood burgundy

This should tell you all what brown sugar is... don't get hooked onto it

[ammaarsandmanmohamed]

Wow tis Guy 55Gangsta is Moist...

Brother You Cant Sniff HEROIN...You can inhale the fumes but not sniff it its not caine

[55gangsta]

nah nigga your baby mother moist nigga fuck u talkin bout lol.. but nah he is talkin botuthe ron though he from richmond va and thats all they do out there is fuck with that ron plus thats why he done fell off the way he has because he doin bad off that shit

[marzilyas]

i have sniffed heroin man

[unique1528]

He's talking about brown skin..

& ohh weee It's sweet!!

SMH!! people always know how to turn a positive into a negative..

The whole concept is being thought into a little to much.

[jazzytds]

Yo, that's not all he wants...smh. Who knew???

[55gangsta]

yall know he talkin bout heroin and not a women right???

[kawh0re]

2:10 - 2:13..it gotta be weed he's talkin bout. what else u kno named chocolate thai

[marzilyas]

i think he's using brown sugar to refer to both girls and heroin. like the Stranglers' "Golden Brown." It doesn't have to be one or the other.

[markelljj90]

I've loved this song since I was 5 yrs old lol. Literally no joke, at 5 I would walk about the house singing this... not having a clue as to what it was about, all I know is that it sounded good to me. I'm 20 years old now and I still love this song!

[filththatisi]

@markelljj90 Song cant be that old....Seems like last week to me.

[fillycheese37]

i love this song...it may be me and my ex's song but it still go hard

[malkalevadom]

This still gives me the warm, fuzzy tinglies aaallll oooverrrr....

[thecontrivance2]

[dedeauld01]

[CherriBomb76]

C'mon back, D. We miss ya!!

[flyboyintl1]

This is for the grown and sexxxy.

[superstar1991ify]

@flyboyintl1 totally agree

[cjankos024]

Lehrmo LOVES this song

[Chilove]

This song is so soothing.

[mandyata]

Intro keys are just sick!!

[bartolo333]

@mandyata I was thinking the same thing....If this joint isn't soulful, I don't know what is. Organ's off the chain. He ripped it on this one. I wish there was an after hours spot we can go to that play music like this. That'll be dope.

[Rishi15]

Genius!!!

[psychmaj323]

He's talking about both Weed and His woman, he just hides it very well. Still loving this song, even after 10 years

[55gangsta]

nah he talkin bout heroin look at 1:49 thru 1:57 when he wipes his nose like he takin a line

[Vabzy]

@psychmaj323 thats the genius of his music...its right in front of you not hidden...the words are the keys...you need to understand what you are listening to.

[MrbangbangSS]

im sorry devin the dudes i cant wait

[MrbangbangSS]

are u guys unfamiliar with metaphors clearly hes talking about hash lls its just like tupacs me and my girlfriend or devin the dudes cutcha up

[Mrjayster100]

gota love them sisters man they realla than other races thats my pinion remember

[SoContagious89]

wow my brother u went hard lol but u sho rite cuz i luv my blk sisters 2. 1 of da best creations Gods made

[Vabzy]

weak ass kanye west, all these clowns have killed the game. fucking sell out. there is no way u can look at white women or any other women when listening to this magic.

No one completes this like black sisters.

[nzinga11]

I AGREE!! lol

[Vabzy]

what does any one of kanye west's many girls have to do with this? The guy is lost and sold his soul, being black is not a colour its a state of mind/attitude. you want to tell me u don't know any house nigger, willie lynched negro or european duplicates??????? What I meant anyway is that the soul of this music is for those with soul. I have been around with women of all types, non of them is brown sugar unless they have the sisters state of mind which cannot b faked like some whiteys try to.

[markmccool]

@Vabzy

 ... the fuck

[Vabzy]

@markmccool you pissed off or enlightened?

[txhustla]

@Vabzy - Kanye west was never a neo soul artist or could ever be remotely be compared to D'Angelo - its completely different sub genre of music and one the artists he works with and produces for (Dwele) is the truth so lost on that one...

[Vabzy]

@txhustla thanx for the stats. My point is that.....artists like kanye is what the youth aspire to cos of the media whoring around his type, hence killing the game for true artists like d'angelo,maxwell and so on.

Anyone vaguely in command of the english language can pull a kanye... but creating melodies and harmonies require talent. The difference between you and kanye is you have not sold your soul for fast cars and riches.

[demoneye0810]

@Vabzy

Well put!!! Been arguing this with the kids I see coming into my club these days. They have no idea that they are just being led around by mass media like a dog on a chain!!

[Vabzy]

@demoneye0810 I tell you...its so simple try to remove as much ignorance from around you without hurting yourself. The media breeds ignorance and it really hurts the youth. Psychologically mis-educates and mal-programmes them.

all this talent shows and reality TV is the beginning of the end of illusions. to even see how terrible the media has tried to blind us... the word "dis-illusioned" is used in a negative connotation by tv personel when in fact it is a good thing to remove the illusion.

[icemannn96]

@Vabzy simply the truth u just told!

[Vabzy]

@icemannn96 just watch this web channel often, there is a documentary called video killed the radio star or something like that, which will make you understand more why media works the way it is and why Tv is there to help change the reality we live.

[icemannn96]

@demoneye0810 i swear on this! back in the day we had people with raw talent competing against each other trying to get a record deal! these days we have manufactured mediocre wannabees who are made famous by talent shows and most don't even last long in the game except a few! Its sad times for hip hop...

[MaxMikeLatino]

@Vabzy well if black women learn how to keep there loud ass trap shut sometimes then maybe they could have a black man.

[Vabzy]

@MaxMikeLatino you are exhibiting ignorance with you general statement...do you think I will concur with your bashing of black women's outspoken nature...when people stop attacking black women both psycologically and physically then you'll have quiet..until then sister better blow up those ear drums.

U don't understand the black womb or woman and your mind is most likely compromised by rap music/media whores and anti-blackism. The black womb is the beginning of the hue-man so it is sacred.

[MaxMikeLatino]

@Vabzy Look, Gal.... You call me ignorant but your GED-having ass can't spell full words in english, or be articulate. Then your going to try to speak to me like I'm suppose to take you seriously. "Blackism" isn't a word, and obviously second grade was tough for you, because "U" is actually a three letter word.

[Vabzy]

@MaxMikeLatino I am a guy..and typo are things that happen..u cannot try to use that as a basis to diss my language command. It is totally irrelevant because you got my point. You are the kind of people that hate themselves....bashing black women to make urself happy.

Stop being petty and address the real Issue....I can say all the ism's and skisms I want...cos if you knew how to use a dictionary why call me Gal?????

[MaxMikeLatino]

@Vabzy I called you "Gal" because you are some bitch pussy boy who has no common sense. And furthermore Gal... You can avoid typo's by using MS Word if you know your dumb ass can't spell.

[Vabzy]

@MaxMikeLatino you wish your opinion mattered... if only

[jacobsolether]

@MaxMikeLatino who gives a fuck how a nigga spells his shit? only bitch ass teachers. shut the fuck up and listen to this great song

[MaxMikeLatino]

@jacobsolether Okay bitch! I'm gonna shut up and sit my ass down at my JOB!!! While your no spelling ass will have to stand in the unemployment line.

-M

[skidan4real]

@Vabzy Well said. Teach the ignorant my friend. Big up.

Peace, love & abundance of all that is good to be with you on your journey.

[DexRok]

@Vabzy there are no black wombs.

Almost all internal organs are one shade or another of pink.

[Vabzy]

@DexRok how many people did you murder and open up to find that out or did you just watch too much CSI?????????...get away from me...

[DexRok]

@Vabzy I only opened up one guy to find that out. just one. His name was book.

[Vabzy]

@DexRok unfortunately, I'd rather experience stuff than read some other guys opinion of which I cannot asses his mind, wether it is sound or not. So keep swallowing other people's garbage due to lack of your own creativity..all book readers exihibit is lack of knowledge and therefore so much pointless info, that can only be useful on quizz shows.

[DexRok]

@Vabzy you're just grasping at straws trying to sound deep and shit. 1st im a sick fuck cause i cut people open. then im a book guy whos never had any real experience. save that imaginary e beef for facebook dude. not to mention that whole 1st shit you just typed was almost a sentence.

[DexRok]

@Vabzy you listen to rihanna. your opinion is invalid.

[Vabzy]

@DexRok try work on your senses...oh! your's are weak. Sense this, you are not valid. try elsewhere.

[DexRok]

@Vabzy yeah, especially my sense of smell. it's really weak. wow, you told me.

[RealismOfLife]

@Vabzy Tell em family!!!!

[Vabzy]

@RealismOfLife no one can invalidate blackness cos its timeless, its in the ether, the night sky, the universal womb, the everything, that why even the weak senses of DexRok still found his way to the genius of D'angelos blackness. I don't need to be black and proud cos black has no compare...its the ultimate if you know what you have.

[TheAngelnevermore]

@Vabzy i hear that brother . 

[imlillee]

Hey anyone out there pause this video at 3:22 and take a good look at the light skinned chingy eyes guy on the right. He is an old friend of mine I havent seen since 1995. I have been looking for him his name is Brian >> i think his last name is kopellman .. not sure i forgot his nick name was V.I., let me know if anyone has any information on him. I would love to see him again.

[Vabzy]

@imlillee Try facebook sister.

[imlillee]

@ Vabzy, that is the first place i tried of course.... but I forgot his last name. Its in the album insert.

[nzinga11]

y did they call him v.i?

[sakatia13]

he jus wasnt the same after his acciedent that he had ...jus kinda faded away but love this song tho!

[Baralicious]

@sakatia13 what accident

[sakatia13]

he was n a car accident

D>>my brotha ..get it together and ma
