just had this experience now, crazy

 

[DontEemTry]

I've always thought the Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis sound was much better in the 80's than in the 90's, and I loved a ton of their 90's stuff

Common misconception that Jam & Lewis wrote this track. But it was actually one of Jam and Lewis long time band members.

He stayed within the J&L aesthetic though which is why so many people think they wrote it. Another thing I heard about this song is that Alex was fresh out of rehab (again) and all them nikkas was tired of his drug habit, he begged them for one more chance and blew them away with his vocals for this joint. The nikka was literally singing for his life and it shows.

 

[Low End Derrick]

Classic record

Shame he had to re-record it with terrible vocal quality in order to see any streaming royalties from it:

This might be his best song though

 

[Big Mark]

The song still hits me. It's a very underrated classic!

 

[Jerz-2]

This shyt makes you wanna drive with the top down on the highway during a moonlit night.

 

[Jerz-2]

This might be his best song though

Agreed.

That whole album is flames, though.
