[harleygirl473]

[Dswag650]

classic!!! they dont make music like this anymore

[fglove073]

This nigga Roger Troutman use to get off!!! lol

[andrademeza]

18 people didnt get to be her man...

[ajaugenti]

The songs from the 80's were great back in the day!

[cupid4040]

Reminds me when I use to work for Coke A Cola. We use to play this song every Friday to get us hype for the weekend.

[RunDCM]

@cupid4040 isn't it coca cola?

[teardropgiggle]

[acbby25]

Love & Basketball!!!

[sw33tyjay]

Thumbs Up if you Can't see the *dislike bar haha :)

[Chickenz805]

18 dislikes, nice try t-pain

[Beautifullkeke901]

love and basketball

[shakexitup]

Probably the hardest minimal beat ever. Hardest chorus too, just straight up, "I wanna be your man." None of this, "IS YO MAAAAN, ON THE FLOOO / IF HE AIN'T, LEMME KNOOO" horse shit.

[RunDCM]

you know what's good about this song? It came and went and left good memories on us. It didn't stick around like an Adele or LMFAO song for 5 months played on radio 10 times a day. Modern day radio sucks!

[ajaugenti]

@RunDCM You should own a Sirius satellite radio, an you can you can listen to the "Big 80s' On 8". Satellite radio is so much better, I've got one in my apartment and it's way much better than regular modern day radio I promise you!

[RunDCM]

@ajaugenti oh I had sirius for like 6-7 years and I like Big 80's, Howard 100 (when he actually works), Raw Dog, Liquid Metal, Faction, and backspin. I called in to complain when they got rid of backspin like 2 or 3 years ago. lol

[macdady965]

lms it if u luv this son when you dancing with your lady

[TheTyrell415]

Epic

[Shyriek]

[kellyfuckinglarson]

[DeaththeKiddtk1]

@slalexander99 that was computer love

[SnommeK]

Does this have auto-tuning?

[TheDabest93]

@SnommeK no it's not auto tune it's called a "talkbox"

[DeaththeKiddtk1]

@SnommeK yep. he basically was the 1st to use it

[Yobachi2007]

@DeaththeKiddtk1

Roger by far wasn't the first to use the talk box, what he did was to make it a center piece of his music, and really made an art form out of it.

[Killamatrix243]

baby makin music rite herre :)

[GWhiz99]

I was a high school junior when Roger Troutman’s (298-42-7319), "I Want To Be Your Man" was a hit from the LP “Unlimited”. Fishing through my memory, I'm not sure I'd ever seen the video in its entirety until December of 2011, almost a quarter-century later. Nevertheless, watching it closely, I say that Roger in triplicate at 1:12—especially the center version on the catwalk structure—could evoke Roger as a musical jack of all trades; Roger leading a triple-life; or of page 5 of the 1988 annual

[GWhiz99]

I was in high school when Roger Troutman’s "I Want To Be Your Man" hit. Rahm Israel Emanuel—55th Chicago mayor and White House Chief of Staff to Barack Hussein Obama—was born on Troutman’s eighth b’day: 11/29/59. Obuma accepted 2008 Demoncratic nomination in Denver. Unrelated: Emanuel slicing his right middle finger working at Arby’s in high school; it became infected after a swim in Lake Michigan, leading to partial amputation. I waited for Beef N Chedder the day Frank Zvonek(565-58-5237) died

Rahm Israel Emanuel—55th Chicago mayor and White House Chief of Staff to Barack Hussein Obama—was born on Troutman’s eighth b’day: 11/29/59. Obuma accepted 2008 Demoncratic nomination in Denver. Unrelated: Emanuel severely slicing his right middle finger working at an Arby’s in high school; Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke (b. 12/15/53) waiting tables as a teenager at “South of the Border” (I-95/U.S. 501) in Dillon, SC

[GWhiz99]

I was in high school when Roger Troutman’s "I Want To Be Your Man" hit during the 1987-88 school year. Rahm Israel Emanuel—55th Chicago mayor and White House Chief of Staff to Barack Hussein Obama—was born on Troutman’s 8th b’day: 11/29/59. Emanuel as a government figure in WASHINGTON shouldn’t be confused with actor CORBin Dean BernSEN as ARnOLD BECKER on “L.A. Law”; 1620 EAST 10th; Reagan C.O.S. Don REGAN; 210 REGAN, VERNon Rockville, CT; Fed Chair Ben Bernanke on EAST Jefferson in Dillon, SC

Rahm Israel Emanuel—55th Chicago mayor and White House Chief of Staff to Barack Hussein Obama—was born on Troutman’s eighth b’day: 11/29/59. Go To Hell: Emanuel severely sliced his RIGHT MIDDLE FINGER working at an Arby’s in high school. Unrelated: Arby’s at 400 KNOLLwood, 27103; infamous grassy KNOLL in Dealey Plaza; genital ray beam attack or WOOD’s phallic connotation; one-term presidencies

[andrademeza]

@GWhiz99 what the hell are you talking about...

[GWhiz99]

I was a high school junior when Roger Troutman’s (298-42-7319), "I Want To Be Your Man" was a hit. I'm not sure I'd ever seen the video in its entirety until Dec. 2011. This comment posts 12/2/11—three days after what would have been Troutman’s 60th birthday. But following visual cues, I’m not sure it isn’t a case of doth protest too much at 2:59, while Roger in triplicate at 1:12 evokes page 5 of the 1988 annual; a narrow, one-diminsional audience not feeling “Late Night With David Letterman”

[wetsitsallinone101]

This song will live into infinity... this is for you chicas....

[The45Viper]

Will somebody explain to me how this video only has 800,000 views. Smh

[BladeGT]

Another all important love song of the 80's the "Holy Grail" of love songs! With the late Roger Troutman..1 of the two the human synthesizers. The other one is Peter Frampton. no auto-tune required!!!

[kblizz123]

ill sing this to my girlfriend - 10 likes

ill sing this to a random girl-20 likes

ill break up wit my girlfriend and sing this to my crush - 30 likes

[jacobyugioh2]

last prom my night was going terrible den dis song came on and me and my girl danced to this and i song it to her

[str8outtatexas1]

God i'm asking you a favor, can you please make it possible for me to go back to the 80's when i was a young teen so i can slow drag with all the babes again,enjoy all the teenage spots & clubs,enjoy what real music is suppose to sound like,have my same friends,enjoy life without any worries,any thug life,enter break dance & dance contest again, hug,kiss & comfort my mom & both grandma's again? please. the 60's-90's had to be the greatest era of musicians to walk planet earth. Damn i miss it.

[MissMonsterGirl79]

Two years ago, I went to prom with my long-time crush, this song came on and we danced to it, he sang it to me and then we kissed for the first time. We have been together since then. I love this song! :) <3

[gsxrbuckeye]

@MissMonsterGirl79 Can I touch your boobs?

[Lindathemightywitch]

@MissMonsterGirl79 ewww.

[nastySJpunk]

Auto-tune should have died after this song.

[kineheloe]

I'm only 3 years old and I love this stuff. They just don't make music like this anymore. Toddlers everywhere, like myself, are really being turned on to 80's R&B because my mom is only 18 now so when I was 1, she used to change my diaper and listen to this because my grandmother really liked this song when she was my age back in the 80's.

[babyblack1919]

janaeluvzyabae i think that you should really think it through make sure that it is the right thing to do because if he not feeling the same way when you tell him it could mess up the friendship entirely dont do it because u get enough votes do it also because u are ready and u have to b ready for that fifty fifty chance he might feel the same way he might not and u have to b prepared for it hell if it was me i would do it its gone b either he feeling that way or not im really Nonchalunte

[November76ification]

When I first heard this song I would always go to school and sing this. I really that it was cute when I heard the song on love and basketball it fit that particular scene just fine.

[TheMrDwillison]

You know, as much as I love funk, whenever I think of funk I usually don't think about slow jams. But then again, Slow Jams are the reason why I like Zapp & Roger

[MzSupaSexi2010]

every time i hear this song, i think of the dance scene in "Love and Basketball" =] never fails =]

[tw33table]

Make Mee Think Bout My Favoritee Moviee ! "Love N BasketBall" Forever && Alwayss ...

[Heavenlyjustme1]

I have loved Roger Troutman for years Zapp and Rogers were the the ones who got along with everyone and could out sing anyone.

[jennifurlovesjessiej]

This reminds me of car rides with the family when I was younger. I am 28 now. My dad loved Roger and Zapp!!! Good Ole School Music

[ijerk207]

[estbroadway]

[atworkstation]

RIP Roger Troutman (1951-1999). He would've been 60 next month.

[MsPferguson]

Yes this is a song that will always bring back wonderful memories. So sad he died. He was very very talanted. Bring back the 80's :-)

[SuperYameel]
