mario - "u should let me love u"

Dude makes Chris Rock faces though. I can't believe he's still getting love.

why would he fake being from Baltimore? (not trying to diss yr hometown - go Ottobar! - but I'm just curious)

fuck Winans, you know I'm the super Mario brother of this R&B game

What the fuck has it been doing at #1 for the last five weeks?

well done

I know I had heard this song in the past but I just heard it on the radio a few days ago, and now it's on infinite loop. It's not a particularly remarkable song but once I put it on I can't turn it off. There's a special place in my heart for silky smooth r&b jamz that never get old, no matter how much I play them out.

What's D.N.A. like?

One of Ne-Yo's first big songwriting credits.

(the single, not D.N.A.)

baby i just don't get it
do you enjoy being hurt?

I think this is CRAZY boring. But then, I think "Burn" is too; go figure.

ban and ban and ban again

amazing song.

dammit i've been trying to think of a song that was its close competitor/follow-up... it was a little in the vein of kevin lyttle too, a lite dancehall feel in the rhythm. anyone know what i'm trying to remember here?? i don't even know WHO anymore

ridiculous request i know. i've considered starting a "sunshiney loverman hits of the early 00s" just hoping this mythical object turns up.

That "What's Love Got To Do With It" keyboard part is a large part of its charm for me.

such a wonderful song. i secretly liked his flop comeback single "how do i live," too, don't laugh @ me

ohh i think i remember that one, super obviously similar to 'lmly' right? haha yeah i couldnt resist it either

heard "let me love you" on the radio yesterday, still sounded awesome

got this exact one somewhere i think - quality

I discovered Cassie thanks to the video for Here I go Again.

nice xp

goole - rupee 'tempted 2 touch'?

sadly no! that's good tho, could listen to that sound for basically any length of time.

i'm pretty sure it was an american R&B dude gently riding the end of diwaliish fashionability. i may have to just comb thru the billboard charts for that time period until i find it again...

Oh and Kris Exo mused in his blog that dude might be gay.

can someone refresh my memory who this kris guy was?? i feel i am so close to a massive forgotten blogger lol but it's eluding me

some scandalous dude on xxl...? the hardbody guy?

kris ex was an older rap mag writer who briefly had a batshit blog full of bible verses and pictures of guns.

xpost -- he was on xxl for a minute but i think dallas penn/billy sunday was the one who said 'hardbody' all the time

hardbody was billy sunday -- he was the one who interviewed joell ortiz under some bridge in ny or something

i always confuse kris ex and pete l'official -- one of them wrote a thing in spin about mickey factz last year

i'm pretty sure it was an american R&B dude gently riding the end of diwaliish fashionability. i may have to just comb thru the billboard charts for that time period until i find it again...

Was it maybe this? (The actual song doesn't start until about thirty seconds in)

nope, it wasn't no letting go, either! what i'm dimly remembering was not as huge as that

might u have got your dates/nationality mixed up and it's ww 'bounce along'? seriously struggling to think of an american r&b dude.

('bounce along' is fucking AWESOME and mad underrated btw)

don't think i'd heard 'bouce along' before. it is good but also not it u_u

i promise i will find this tune

Kevin lyttle

Not american but

Oh lol

^^^^ Truth Forever.

I feel I should know what this mystery song is too.

I'm assuming Chris Brown "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" is too obvious.

at the risk of thread derailment, if goole should like to hear more breathtaking lenky r&b of the era:

it will be a decade since the golden age before long :(

Oh "Thick & Thin", the years have not faded your beauty. (this has never not been on my ipod, I never know when I might need it)

ha i very much should, thanks

xp

on the 1st january 2013 i will walk into the soul jazz offices and force them at gunpoint to put out a 5lp golden age dancehall comp. it is written.

or at least sit there and wait til they come back from holidays, whatever

have not found what i'm dimly remembering, but just popping back to say that bobby valentino had a good summer in '05.

this song is the best

i always listen to "let me love you" and "i don't wanna know" back-to-back:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn7PRQon_MA

i don't wanna know was super ill

at first i was all irritated with it cause itd come on the radio and i get so excited cuz i thought they were playing the fugees

and then i just got really into it

i don't wanna know -> ready or not is always a good look

but sometimes i wanna know...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICMPxpB_UPo

^that is #1 jam

i've never liked "i don't wanna know" :(

m winans always seemed like a simp and not in a likable way

i heard "i don't wanna know" on the radio today. it's ok. that "boadicea" sample has gotten around hasn't it? mario winans feat p diddy AND ENYA always made me lol, imagining enya laying a rap over the track after diddy's part.

joe "i wanna know" SO GOOD

ha ok, well...

i am embarrassed and elated to report, the song i had halfway in my head is ne-yo's "sexy love"

all i could remember was that itchy little string line in the chorus, and the handclaps. funny how that works.

was just about to suggest an alzheimers consultant but listening to it again your brain has correctly drawn a vague caribbean line there i never woulda thought of! a sweeter secret precursor to 'miss independent' anyway.

it still came out 2 years later tho!!

yeah well radio here is no great shakes

i miss hardbody r&b remix with members of the lox :(

remixes*
