Classic shit.
I was reading and listening to Dilla as i do. Came upon a chapter talking about Joni Mitchell. It said..she wasn’t a parrot a pirate or a parody, but that she was a genre.OK
The Dilla beat goes off and then this Janet shit comes on and caught me in a flashback good moment of my youth. The era i started wearing fly shirts and jackets and listening to Roy Hargrove etc. I just coped a new speaker too, and i was eating fruit, so the warmth of the song is very suitable for the situation.
I mean, its Dilla Q tip and Janet wit the Joni sample
or Janet Q tip and Dilla
or howeva wit the Joni Mitchell Sample
but its the fucking jam.
i think we all agree its a trend setter, mood speaking
i don’t have to name how many were influenced…….
the styles, the imagery, the color tones from skin to there suites
all this happening wit Janet’s shadow and the barber shop scenes
-peeping yaself- amongst others expression of themselves
from the kid jumping on the couch in Tip’s verse, to the midget bartender
all groovy

Q tip and Janet was in love. good times caught on camera
I love looking at black faces
the midget, wateva animal that is behind the bar ,the Drum magazine, that makes me want to read it…, is just some dope shit
crowns wit the tassel and the suites.. ALL POWER!
WHERE ARE THEY? wit this tv playing and swole eye boxer…
imagine using Janet’s mic in particular to do a rap show wit……., the actual venue,where they at? I wanna go
Definitely one of my favorite videos., best shot is when the bottle breaks against the bathroom wall to end the song
broken glass everywhere, we all can relate
Till its Gone
I know wat we had, i know it neva died
