I forgot where, but somebody was clowning that song something awful. I mean, I remember it being huge when it dropped. I actually thought it was cool, but it is forgettable.

i actually had to play that video to know what song he posted, yea, i remember that song being everywhere and i hated it. and like i said, i haven't heard anyone talk about or play that song since its run in 98.

Exactly

thread aint "highest charting/most popular r&b song", it's about the best single, that shyt is

you can keep that as your personal classic to remind you of your first love, aint nobody else sweating that song :guccie:

 

[smokeurobinson]

All of them is bangers but Nice & Slow one of my favorite songs of all time.

This was also a big record. I heard this the other day:

That record is amazing.

Next- Too Close none of those songs sparked an internet sensation 18 years later

these songs define 98 R&B along with the Brandy/Monica song.



I'm adding this song because i wore this song out by x mas 98

 

[Newark88]

We can't leave Whitney out of 98

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

Usher

So many memories from '98:





^^^ while the Ginuwine song wasn't huge, it was still a fave.

 

[Wacky D]

once we got to the late-90s, I didn't really care for most of the bigger hits like that.

I kinda just voted for whatever on the 97-99 polls.

prolly gonna go back & change all my votes for those years. lol.

I think that was a #1 single.

one of those huge dark-horse singles with not much payola behind it.

I never dug it tho. looked like some chit out of eve's bayou.
