this guy OWNED R&B in the 80's - Appreciation Thread

Post by Philaflava »

Fuck your King of Pop, we're talking the real new jack swing--the king of R&B. Bobby Brown was the epitome of gangsta on the m.i.c. Even though cracked out Whitney called him the King of Hip-Hop once on their show, we know what she meant.

Check the catalog suckaaaaaaaaaaaas.

My Prerogative
Every Little Step
Don't Be Cruel
Roni
On Our Own
Humpin' Around (90s)

and we aren't even counting the N.E. shit.

The man is indeed a living legend. "On Our Own" & "My Perogative" were the jams back in 88 or 89 or whatever,

My name is Brown. thats what im called so dont try to step to me wrong or youll fall slow. cause I just wanna kick soul to ya, baby baby take control of ya just like i told ya i wanna roooll on a tip thats groovin able to make ya move and groove and leave you like goo when i touch ya. give ya so much of the flava... (off the top, so dont be a dick and correct me...) ...I know its been a while since you heard a change in my style, but what i came to do is give you something fly and new, a change, a bit more than regular not like the others original...

At the fork in the road where Mike chose kid dick, Bob chose crack. Sucks.
