African Drums set off the beat and a hard bass line sets the mood .... but a simple background keyboard progression eases the tension. Even though the lyrics send mixed signals ... the overall message is positive ... not quite the best ... but much better than the rest ... an instant classic th...

this masterpiece should be an inspiration for all hip hop artists...

catchy tune ... "a 90's anthem" ... this would probably sound really good in a club (to get the crowd warmed up) ... dj's ... listen up!!!

*sigh* those were the days...

:) BIG SMILEY FACE ... for this song ... just a great song and a fun video ... a hidden gem ... need more fun in today's music ...

magic video ... you-tube should have suggestions for The Deele

all I can say is "wow"

But it was "our" fault because we thought we needed the money... or so we thought? We sold out ... AGAIN ...same story ... it's like a broken record ... is there any hope for the black race ... when will we stop allowing ourselves to be victimized? when will we start becoming self-reliant? When w...

the only thing I miss about high school (class of '94) is the music!!!

"It ain't that he don't have education ... cuz I was right there at his graduation ... " as an African Amercian male in the United States, I am also hustling to make it in this world. I went to grad school and all that ... but I found out that corporate America won't cut it and black folks won't...

I've seen this industry quiver ... as if I had coke in the trunk and cops in the rear mirror...

I heard this a long time ago...great remix...one of Jay's better hits that never made it to the radio...

much better lyrics from the fabulous lyricist and the matador of metaphors!!!

one of the best HOOKS in HIP HOP HISTORY!!!

that was real tight...outstanding lyrics!!!

"Ron Brown and freedom fighters goin' down..." who remembers Ron Brown? Head of the Democratic Party Back in the 90's...many people in the thought he might be the first black president...

"when you wish upon a star" ah...this song references the power of manifestation...or according to Proverbs 18:21 ...the power of the tongue -> to speak life or to speak death ... also the paradise that she speaks of "beyond the clouds" can be taken literally or symbolically. Both Patti and Jenni...

and yes ... I hate to admit it ... but I cried during this song. If you don't understand it..."just keep on livin'" as my grandmother says.

this is a beautiful song....Stevie is expressing the end of time in different ways with the chorus....of course, the message is that his love will last forever (always) but what is forever? Stevie has many answers for that question...

@mightywhitey718 I'm dancin' too! BIGGIE stole the show on the intro ... unbelievable cadence and delivery...one of the best..

one of the best rap songs in HIP HOP HISTORY....

this hit brought in the 90's - the best hip hop deade in the history of rap!!! It all started going downhill in 2000 .... youngster's out there ... do yourself a favor and google for 90's hip hop ...you won't regret it.

beautiful song...never heard it before ... I'm 34 ... so I must have just missed it somehow...

oh wow...I haven't heard this in years...freshman year in college!!! class of '98...good times man...I always remember tryin' to get girls like every day of the week..so this cd was really on point!!!

oh yeah...the classic!!!! This is like junior high basketball for me ... times were so innocent it is like a dream now....

You know...back in high school...my friends and I made fun of Jodeci and the lead singer...they had funny clothes and my buddy made fun of the way they looked...and I laughed...but this is some of the best music in the last 20 years...

sex is a hell of a drug... RIP Rick James :)

"what's a girl to dooooo ... ooooooooo ... ooooo ... oooooooo ... " you know she sounds a little like anita baker...what do you guys think?
