I gotta agree....the drums are a bit much but I think the low quality of the video contributes and it may have been different in the moment vs watching after the fact

@jazzmac03 I will try not to take too much exception to the "low quality" video comment. Sorry...wasn't shooting in HD back then. And that had nothing to do with the song arrangement.

Like myself as a musician, I could play every lick during a tune to impress other musicians, but I'd go with "less is more". Just play the pocket! It's fine to change the tune a bit but don't kill the groove! Most of the ladies just want to be crooned.

To each his/her own, I suppose. Interesting that so many of you are opposed to the energy of this live drums in this version.

[MrChiffy]

drums suck on this track - ruins it for me - stick the original - that's what made it a classic - what's with this jungle drum and bass remix with the drummer going mental ?

[stefrenee]

The artist HAS to have leeway to switch things up a bit in the live performances. Otherwise, we'd be bored to tears at our shows. But not everything is for everybody.

@jazzmac03 I think its the video quality and the drummer might be contracted to play because the original live version from the 9:30 club sounds like this which is wayyyyy better than it sounds here. No disrespect to the guy who shot this ;)

I swear some ppl just dont know what the fuck they b talkin bout, the drummer is fuckin killin this shit and the vocals was right there as well...fly version

[BigBossPUP]

This is mad crazy, evrybody is singing but he likes it having people sing with him that is truly a singer.

[Msamthomas]

I love this song and performance but whoever was playin those drums kept messin me up

[streetbummrj]

people have we forgotten that Stokley was the original drummer of MC. everything you see on stage is rehearsed for months on end everyday its not a spur of the moment thing.

[vytildie]

People, People, People! Do you think that he just 'DECIDED' to play that way? I saw Montel Jordan 2 wks. ago and he said ,"I know you want to hear it - just 1 time but I HAVE to sing it E V E R Y Single Night, FOREVER!" -referring to "This is how we do it"

This is what happens when music is made by machines(keyboards). Learn to appreciate musicianship!(remember Drum Line?) Musicians PLAY and it's their song...if you want to hear the record - turn on the RADIO!

Love Mint Condition.. HOT ..but the drummer was waaayy too extra for this smooth mid-tempo ballad.
