Devante Swing HATED Jodeci's "Get On Up" Produced by Mr Dalvin

[@PheLaReux]

"Get On Up" has a gospel feel to it, which is the reason I love it 😀

[@j-dub22]

Facts. Very church-like and I loved it 👍

[@TheSecretaryofSound99]

Yes! Very country 😂 Southern Soul Blues

[@IamCarlFree]

It actually did crossover into the gospel territory. Hezekiah Walker used the chorus for “I Can Make It”

[@EadoCleaning]

Yep i was just thinking that

[@2009IceCold]

Get On Up was my favorite song on the album. It’s an uplifting track. “Positive is the attitude, negative is not the mood”

[@darrenevans1176]

Get On Up is the song on my phone as a alarm I get up to every morning

[@j-dub22]

Maybe Devante didn't like it because he wasn't in control. That's probably why he didn't appear in the music video. We know Devante created most of their hits but Get on up is still one of my faves from them. Mr DALVIN did a phenomenal job

[@lornawest47]

Yes I think that's why Jodeci didn't continue their run because Devante controlling ways along with his substance abuse.Self centered and selfish along with paranoia.

[@j-dub22]

@@lornawest47 I agree with everything u said 👍

[@Mf_booma]

Nope that song is trash period

[@savajecaylala8784]

He wasn’t in the video because he has a severe fear of flying and there was schedule conflict with his other projects . That was already confirmed. He didn’t like the song at first because it had too much of a happy sound to it than the whole concept of the album but he said he loves it now because it has a great vibe.

[@AmyThrash]

I play this song for my daughters when I’m waking them up for school in the mornings 😂 and I always do the Jodeci peace sign ✌🏾 ✌🏾 😂

Facts

[@brandonjohnson7729]

"Stay" was one of my favorite by Jodeci they killed that song

[@only1jamesp]

I was in 8th grade when this came out and my mom played this every morning in 96.positive song

[@1tmproductions]

"Get On Up" is a top three Jodeci song for me. I can see why Devante probably didn't like it because his production and arrangement was almost like this futuristic ambient/R and B/ Hip Hop blend. A prime example of that is "Freek'n You". That's the Jodeci sound. So Mr. Dalvin comes with "Get On Up" that sounded more like R and B/ Blues two step music; so he probably felt it wasn't their lane. It's almost like them singing "Wifey" by Next. At first I wasn't as big on it but after a few weeks listening to the harmony blends on the hook, I was sold.

[@patriciacastro6736]

Facts I love that song 😍❤️

[@j-dub22]

U make a great point when comparing the different types of sounds the brothers produced

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

​@@j-dub22 fact's get on up sounds like a boyz to men song very clean

[@MostHighJem]

Well, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I feel that Mr. Dalvin is very much underrated as a producer, musician, and vocalist and he's made a lot of music I like over the years 💯... The Jodeci/Wu-Tang collaboration Dalvin produced will FOREVER be a bop!❤

[@DANNYBLVCK]

That was a banger. That remix

[@jeffery2350]

Still Rocking in 2023

[@prof3ssor178]

Some fans don't know. Mr.Dalvin produced and wrote a few songs on every album they put out

[@martinshaw7605]

Except the first album. But the 2nd & 3rd & maybe the last one. But possibly

[@DANNYTHEFROG123]

One of my favorites

[@latoyamcghee1524]

Yassss!!! My favorite group in the Whole World!! Y'all still got it going on!!! Jodeci 4 Life ❤️💯💯👏😘

[@djdeedame]

I was literally listening to that song on his morning…definitely one of my favorite Jodeci songs.

[@IamCarlFree]

The song was such a positive hit that Hezekiah Walker and Love Fellowship Crusade Choir sampled it on “I can Make It/Get on Up” on the Live in London album

[@Unifyyyyyyy]

Man that band is sick and good to see these legends still going. Get on Up is covered by soooo many cover bands these days and is a classic!

[@hannahmitchell6262]

Listen... Devante I love you and everything but THAT TUNE IS A HIT!!!!! Big tune! Real positive! Good vibes! Thank goodness y'all kept it and didn't give it away 😶

[@placebosyndrome]

then he messed around made a remix with the "Seven Minutes of Funk" sample...bonkers! respect to Mr Dalvin 🙏🏾

[@tinathepisces1485]

I really wish they just did a autobiopic Movie or at least Headline a tour 🙄. Jodeci was such an impact on the R&B culture.. They could lowkey have a mini series. That's how much each of a story each of them have

[@HalftimeChat]

They are working on the Biopic

[@TheBlackAbstract]

You got your wish

Halftime chat does it again !!! :) - Hope you can one day interview Chico Debarge ! :)

I hope so too! 🤭

[@jayaura5153]

Get On Up has aged well it’s a song that they can sing forever every group needs at least one song that you can play for everybody 18-80 lol

[@raygu1818]

Exactly why I stated this is only one of a few songs I like by them yet I'm getting attacked for not liking their debut album. Notice how a few said this song Get On Up is trash and I didn't challenge their opinion. It's weird how people think their opinion or popular opinion should apply to all. Get On Up is one of those songs that has an Al Green back porch soul feel to it that all ages can appreciate. Also Maze Before I Let Go would be another great comparison to Get On Up.

[@PodDeep]

Great song and album

[@carlosrob6494]

Inspirational song

[@redrockballa]

JOJO is sounding better and better after each upload🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pCOCKPRO11]

I'm missing out. What has he being doing? I do remember him losing his voice to an extent. The crazy thing is l patterned my vocals after JO and l hate saying this but l don't sing how l did in the 90s and it's very discouraging when he had great vocals.

[@makedab4614]

It's a lovely song but it was very different to the rest of the album sonically and lyrically. Maybe Devante had a different creative vision and wanted to place another song on the album. The song was a hit though.

[@shakirsimssr.2285]

Dalvin did the damn thang

[@williamb4335]

Wow can't believe he didn't like that song. No lie I still play get on up to this day. Song is fire!!! Love the harmonies when they say parrrttty,!!! all day!!never stop!! never stop!! I always turn it up when it gets to that part and try to harmonize. Lol

[@wholesomed.j.aftershock5096]

I have a feeling that DeVante would have preferred "Bring On Da Funk" to be the single in Place of Get On Up since both of them are uptempo Bring on Da Funk still has his signature sound, I would have personally preferred for that to be the single in all honesty.

[@vtara5394]

Devate just live that drugs music

[@simonsez1787]

This song was a big departure from their other hits and album cuts and it did kinda feel like the end of an era with the four of them. I felt the shift around ‘96. But still really liked this song! ❤️

[@TheBbtlegit]

That was the Jam.

[@SURLY_BOO]

Get on up always keep the Party lit

[@redrockballa]

that fact that people argue about what song THEY think is better like OPINIONS don’t matter is sad and funny Get On Up may have blessed somebody that was feeling down and the vibe made them actually wanna do better and Get On Up just because YOU don’t like a song doesn’t make the SONG bad OPINIONS STILL MATTER

It’s how people create narratives. 😂 Dalvin said in one interview that he don’t really like the ballads, he likes the uptempo music. Devante is the opposite, he prefers the ballads over the uptempo stuff.

I hated 'get on up' too. It was the song they would play at the end of the night, to get people out the club. But I like it a bit better now. It is not the typical Jodeci song.

[@HalftimeChat]

🤭

[@shawnsmalls5377]

One of the most dysfunctional great groups of all time, created some classics that still bump too this day.

[@kennardojames2504]

I love the song, but I can understand why Devante didn’t initially care for it. It’s not your typical Jodeci record and didn’t follow the same formula as the other hits that the group produced. It’s always a risk when an artist or group goes against the grain, but it worked.

[@lisahays9226]

To say this guy didn't like this song he was sure jamming on stage in that video they had on line green jackets lol he was happy as hell to do that choreography.... Probably because of nostalgia

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

He didn't like it back then he probably like it now but back then can understand it's not your normal jodeci song's it sounds like a song boyz to men can sing very clean

[@MightMouse2174]

Not my favorite from them but it's a good song I can't lie !!!!

it reminds me of boyz to men vibin song

[@trentrama2645]

dalvin was more funk driven producer no one else mary j blige, curiousity aaron hall , get on up jodeci and sista brand new remix. devante hears things differently like i listen to stuff for jodeci , tony thompson , usher, kurupt , danny boy , renee anderson and bassment and stuff outside bassment stuff for liberty city come on back very simple but arrangement is amazing and imajin he very different as producer, arranger and incredible writer.. if you listen to ray j wet me you might think its wack song but you listen to arrangement after the first verse and hook you here harmony's and arrangement you end up liking the song..

Well that was kind of the initial fallout with Guy. Teddy was bringing more and more hip hop to the Guy sound and Aaron and Damion weren't quite feeling it. I suppose the same thing with Blackstreet. Teddy was the hip hop head and the other guys were pure singers.
