Donell Jones - Where I Wanna Be (Appreciation Thread)

[lightskin jermaine]

classic album full of good music. his latest album goes hard too.

 

[Newark88]

I use to bump this album so much in the whip my CD would skip. WTF happened to todays R&B? You kinda gotta search for some quality R&B sh*t now.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

This and Carl Thomas' first album

 

[GoFlipAPack]

Last great R&B album in my opinion. Nothing.....I mean nothing, is wrong with this album. So many moods, emotions, and vibes yet they all blend perfectly.....let the liquor tell it. My boys and I get into debates all the time over which CD was better between this and Confessions. In my mind, Confessions never grabbed me like this CD did.

+1 for the Outcast reference

 

[Barry Sanders]

This and Carl Thomas' first album

I remember my ex had both of them on tape. She didnt like Donnell album for some reason. I used to play that shyt all the time when me and her was in the car.

That Carl was dope too.








Carl and Donnell repped Chicago well that yr.

I think that song encouraged me to break up with my gf at the time..I was feeling EXACTLY the way Donnell was in that song

Thats how it be sometimes

 

[Black Miller]

hands down classic album, his album after that was underrated too- i believe it dropped in 02- dude was a monster and wrote for other people. true artist

one of my favorites off the album after where i wanna be

 

[HeruDat1]

I always liked this album and shorty got her eyes on me & have you seen her

So many albums in this golden era.

 

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

I'm low key obsessed with the Where I Wanna Be song. Never really been a fan of r+b but there is something about that joint even after all these years.

 

[Blessings]

classic

 

[BronxFleeZ]

I cant go a day without listening to this whole album. especially all her love. relate to that shyt so clearly.

 

[G@ngreen]

'U Know Whats Up' was always my favorite since it played constantly on the local rap/r&b station in 99....classic 90's r&b, classic middle school music.

and lol @ dude saying he wrote a verse of this to a girl....I see you same age as me, r&b was that powerful in that era, almost everyone was listening to R&B heavy, little 7th and 8th graders, my ass hadn't even kissed a girl yet, listening to highly sexual shyt like Ginuwine, R Kelly, Joe, Next....some kids were having sex already, some girls even had kids lol.....

and I never wrote a girl an r&b verse, but i def. though about it, and stayed up late with 112 and Jagged Edge, Donell Jones playing, thinking about whatever girl I had on my mind.

This is just hit home. Everything you described is what happened in my JHS. I was like 9 when this dropped , everyone had their walk-man on with those big doofy headhphones listenin to joe , Ginuwine , usher .

+ Rep for the memories
