one of the great soundtracks that doesn't come up in best-of soundtrack discussions as much as it should. especially on the hip-hop end.

great r&b records, combined with hard-hitting hip-hop from the likes of spice-one, scarface, the twinz, 5 footaz, etc.

also this was the original release of ll cool j's candyman. that joint had me feeling like pepe le pew.

I caught flack when I made that thread saying how Ginuwine & timbaland got "pony" and "same ol g" from the Jason's lyric soundtrack.

a lot of feelings were hurt in that thread.

the original pony right here. Ginuwine's version was clearly an answer record. that's wassup but let it be known.

then we got philly's own whitehead brothers. sons of Nathaniel whitehead.

man this soundtrack was the chit.

You caught flack for it because neither of these songs were the O.G. anything. For starters, "Rodeo Style" heavily lifts from Zapp. Nothing about it screams "Pony" aside from the "ride" metaphor. "Forget I Was A G" isn't the O.G. "Same Ol G" either except for "G" in the song title. That song lifts from "Street Life" by the Crusaders and isn't even the same subject matter as the Ginuwine song.

Props for that Whitehead Bros. song though. I always liked that song from the movie.

that entire sound lifts heavily from zapp. both songs.
so you mean to tell me that Ginuwine & timbaland just randomly did a song about riding the rodeo with a similar sound? cmon breh.

as for the whitehead jawn, I wasn't talking about the subject matter. hell, I didn't even notice the similarities in the song titles. GOOD ONE. youre helping my point. I was just talking about the beat/melody.

You think the artist who made Rodeo just randomly came up with it. Whats even funnier is that Rodeo lifts the Swing Mob sound specifically Freak n You. The vocoder effect specifically. Its utiluzed differrntly in Pony. There are quite a few songs from the 90s that have a similar groove to Ginuwine's Pony With the same subject matter. Montell Jordan's Lets Ride comes to mind.

The otger song is a reach too. Theres a similar melody specifically Gs guitar. Still not similar enough for the other song to be a template. The g in Ginuwines song referst to Ginuwine himself. So there is that.

rodeo style was out before "freakin you"
that montell Jordan song came out years later.

the melodies between "same ol g" and the whitehead songs are too similar breh.

DONT FIGHT THE FUNK.

The Jodeci song I had in mind was Feenin which came before Rodeo.

Youre really going to argue that Lets Ride came years later and not acknowledge that the same amount of time elapsed between Pony and Rodeo. To make it worse the music
from Pony was complete in 1993.

Many songs have similar melodies. It doesn't mean the song that was released first is the original. In a lot of instances the artist never heard the version that came first.
