IN DIS THANG.

I made a cut that samples "Same Ol' Love" back in the day. It was called "No Fat Ones".

Best to sample it, too bad the album didn't get dropped

Ugh I hate her voice. It always seems like she's singing through a yawn

Remember my mom and uncle would listen to KBLX all the time in the car, the smooth RnB station in the bay, that song always got played on the radio in the 90s, hella Anita got played back then, along with Toni Braxton, Baby Face (who my mom was in love with) and Sade

Dope album. Went 5x platinum after its release.

Can anyone name an r&b singer who can go 5x platinum today? I didn't think so.

Anita was selling the equivalent to what Taylor Swift is selling today. Think about that for a minute, then ask yourself what the hell happened to the music industry?
