Miss your lives Jack❤

[@sthelonersowhat6904]

You need to listen to anniversary ❤️

[@outoftheblue556]

@jackreacts, I believe the woman singing in the back may be Dionne Farris if i’m not mistaken who also sings Hopeless from the love jones soundtrack if you haven’t listened to that soundtrack definitely do. Just found your page today, hope you come back…. check out Darling Dear by the Jackson 5 written by Smokey Robinson .

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

The name is from the movie Higher Learning. This a song from that movie's soundtrack. Tyra Banks was the girl that played Deja . Omar Epps also starred in this movie.

[@JosephMendoza-k1i]

Which is why in the song he says "I love you Deja, I love you Deja." I love this song ❤

[@daniellepurplecrown4251]

My fav song 👏🏽❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@Mtc0nqr3r]

You should recognize the sample from this; Wale 'On Chill". Raphael was the lead singer with several hits with Tony, Toni, Tone. "Anniversary", "It Never Rains in Southern California", "Lay Your Head on my Pillow" are a few ballads from them.

[@yesdex5996]

My jam

[@deveralddryden4803]

Raphael Saadiq produced and written the song

[@LuvnAries23]

This is from the Higher Learning soundtrack. I always thought he said "I love you, Déja" because the Omar Epps' love interest in the movie was named Deja.

[@outoftheblue556]

Yes I believe he is saying De’ja

[@ashontiwilliams4512]

This song is one of the most beautiful/sexiest love songs there is in imo.The lyrics are alil raunchy but he sings it with so much class. To this day I tear up when I hear it thinking about the love I had at the time and the love I long for now. He does an amazing job on this cut and if I'm not mistaken,it's from the movie "Higher Learning " soundtrack. Look at that movie now,and it makes you wonder about school shootings today.

[@JosephMendoza-k1i]

Yep and even Ice Cube has recorded the ending song for the movie "Higher" and he does talk about the entire movie especially the campus shooting

[@srichey444]

Saadiq has been the Man since he was in Tony, Toni, Tone and is a phenomenal Artist, Singer, and Musician. He has written, composed, produced so many hits for so many other Artists, and he was also on Beyonce's Renaissance Album. 🙏🏽🤎💪🏽👏🏽✊🏽

[@LeVonngaKiara]

Yyyeesss come on now Jack💙. This song has been on repeat daily in my Playlist. Literally one of my go tos no matter my mood💫... One of my 90's favs. I love his voice and whole vibe. Special shout out to the background vocals as well🔥🎤. They did their thang... It's a very sensual song without being raunchy. Luv luv luv🩷. You have made my whole entire month with this reaction.

[@davidgreen665]

He was on the guitar when you reacted to D'Angelo "Lady".

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

Yep, and if you listen you can hear the similarities in Lady & this song. I always have them back to back on my playlist they flow very well together. The album version of this song has a cool down where he just plays. It sounds very nice. Raphael is very talented. His bandmates from Tony Toni Tone are talented as well.

[@aliciamitcheax6494]

Omggg, I finally found someone who feels the same exact way that I do about this song’s bridge, I even rewind it over and over again, just to hear him sing it… that bridge is so body chilling, and it puts me in the mood to express it when seeing my husband, when I’m listening to it, “PANTS OFF, DANCE OFF”… 👌🏾🤷🏾‍♀️❤️☺️

[@Vibe9223]

Yes bone chilling on the bridge

[@shaysplace4354]

One of my favorite songs! Love Raphael Saadiq 💜💜

[@JADTO]

My fav from him

[@quanahedwards2778]

One of my all time favorite songs from one of top 5 favorite films, ‘Higher Learning’. Deja was a character in the movie played by Tyra Banks.

[@RKS4581]

Finally! One of the best hits of the 90s!

[@anissacorbin32]

Name mentioned is a character played by Tyra Banks in the John Singleton movie, Higher Learning

[@ggsworld8762]

Deja was played by Tyra Banks in the movie Higher Learning. I have a niece named Daisha spelled different but born when this movie came out. I would sing it to her all the time❤

[@charlesnyckd]

Saadiq never disappoints. The tracks he’s done (this and the other with his group, Tony Toni Tone) for John Singleton’s first 3 films are 90’s R&B classics. You gotta check out “Just me and you” from “Boyz N The Hood” and the west coast bumpin classic “let’s get down” featuring DJ Quik. RIP to my friends John Simgleton & Dedrick “V-Dub” Gobert (Dookie in “Boyz N The Hood” and was sadly murdered before the release of “higher learning,” in which would be his last film).

[@AmberDiva79]

React to Raphael Saadiq & D’Angelo- “you should be here”.

[@aprilmiller2374]

You have nice radio voice a voice for radio ❤

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

Yep, I think he does as well.

[@JackReacts904]

I appreciate you!

[@jarelanderson1787]

Love this song!!!

[@JackReacts904]

Had to edit the video so this reaction wouldn’t get blocked! Unedited version on my Patreon (Lnk in Bio)

[@VocallyYours3]

🎶This is an ole school jam!! 🎶

[@lecuyerdooley1084]

What hurts is that I was in college when this came out ... and it's now old school lol

[@deljean]

Looooove this reaction! Tht bridge is everything! Im glad you love it ❤

[@seanboulderformerlymel3000]

I remember reading an interview where he said this song is often misinterpreted. It’s actually a tribute to his daughter. From what I recall Deja is his daughter. She is the little girl in the video. Either way, I love this song with a passion. Music can mean different things to different people. I am a HUGE fan of Raphael Saadiq’s (give name: Charles Ray Wiggins) creativity and artistry. His style is just too cool for words. He once lived in the Curtis Park area of Sacramento-which Sac folks would tell you really fits his vibe. All these reactions to my former neighbors and city mates. The universe is calling. Time for me to move!

[@phillytnoize]

Lol, nah Deja is Tyra Banks character in Higher Learning, the movie for which this song was made. Its definitely not a song that would be sung as a tribute to a singers own daughter if you listen to the lyrics.

[@Boogiesince]

You Got that completely wrong. 😂😂

[@seanboulderformerlymel3000]

@@phillytnoize I’m in agreement that the song’s lyrics are too sexy to be a tribute to his daughter. It’s not my interpretation of what the song is about, it’s what I recall from an interview. He said he thinks it’s cool people find his songs sexy, but he doesn’t write sexy songs. It’s all in their interpretation. When in doubt, go straight to the source. I hit him up on social media. If he responds, I’ll post up to correct the record.

[@seanboulderformerlymel3000]

@@Boogiesince Thank you, Mr. Saadiq for setting the record straight. Didn’t realize you were trolling these parts.

[@phillytnoize]

​@@seanboulderformerlymel3000 btw, i originally didnt want to say this because its Raphael's business, but he doesn't have any children.

[@shezahabit2419]

This was on the Higher Learning soundtrack. Saadiq saying Deja, after the character in the movie. This song is still one of my favorites! ♥

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

You have a gift for this, very detailed with your reactions, you break it down from vocal ranges to instruments & song structure. Nice reaction Jack🔥🔥

[@norenore9944]

I ❤️ this song soooo much!!! In high school I had my best friend record this song from her Higher Learning Soundtrack cd onto BOTH sides of a blank tape😮 so that I could play it in my parent’s car over & over again 😂

[@ezelldaniels6064]

Such a classic! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ariannethompson5718]

I love all things Raphael Saadiq

[@Keepinspirin]

Love this song thxs again for the reaction my Brother

[@michellechelle3081]

[@amandag3729]

OH goodness.... I literally put on Higher Learning as I was watching this review. Had to...

[@JackReacts904]

Love that! I appreciate you stopping by!

[@swurvegirl1978]

Song aged sooo well. Over 20yrs old 😊

[@marquitamiller9313]

This is from the Higher Learning soundtrack,one of the characters was named Deja.

[@sjgu2290]

This song for some reason used to confuse me with Usher's 'Think of you' from his first album, love them both

[@spicyhot2552]

Yes ...this is a nice gem 💎

[@deljean]

Yess just now seeing this❤ Been wanting you to react to this for years!

[@crystalxbri]

i lovee this one! one of my favs. he’s also apart of the group tony!toni!toné!. from oakland, ca!

[@shante70sb]

This song is off the Higher Learning" movie 🍿 🎥 soundtrack 1994'. Deja is the character in the film played by Tyra Banks.

[@gabone324]

He also did a track Me and You for Boyz N the Hood soundtrack. Both John Singleton movies

[@reneelove4839]

Love you song and beat on this is fire. I see you Jack you

[@lameekabrown6294]

Wow, I forgot all about this true gem. So beautiful!!

[@Johnwwickk]

I remember this song from Higher Learning Movie 🔥🔥🔥

[@vonmorris5948]

All time fave. Sucks that only the video is on Apple Music. Higher Learning baby.

[@deveralddryden4803]

He the lead singer from Tony Toni Tone

[@tamikabutler3829]

This song was on the soundtrack of Higher Learning and the name he keeps saying is the character Tyra Banks played in the movie

[@brealtat108]

Donny Hathaway "I love you more then you'll ever know" (live)

[@Gamerdude-eb6tt]

IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@JackReacts904]

Definitely long overdue🔥

[@deljean]

YES!

[@senecaevans6156]

And another one!! This is my jam!

[@Robert-hv4md]

Love this song from them ❤️

[@deveralddryden4803]

It's from the soundtrack Higher Leaning

[@anaziasmith9831]

I'm so happy he reacted to this, loved this on Higher Learning!!

[@deveralddryden4803]

Deja is the character from higher Leaning its for the movie

[@dejar2760]

I was named after this song

[@AlMiner]

😁 Okay! Now, C Robb is stealing from my 90s R&B Spotify playlist! 🔥

[@CRobb-ql4zp]

😆😄😁

[@anthonychobotdoespopcultur7762]

My favorite song

[@cwin721]

This song probably sounds familiar Jack if you heard Wale's song "On Chill". It samples this song

[@YouFilthyAnimal74]

I have been bumpin' this song since '95 when Higher Learning came out. The Producers of the movie wanted to label this as a Tony! Toni! Tone! song and he refused. This was his song and rightfully, he wanted full credit. They do not make songs that hit like this anymore!

[@blkqueen198]

Song is from the Higher Learning soundtrack, Tyra Banks’ character was named Deja. I names my daughter after both female characters in the movie, Deja Monae ❤❤

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

Is this from the higher learning (1995) soundtrack starring ice cube and I think Tyra banks was in the movie correct me if I'm wrong it was one of ice cube's movie that futures the young Tyra banks

[@AlMiner]

You're right! It's on the Higher Learning soundtrack. I had the CD in my late teens/early 20s.

[@charlesnyckd]

Yes

[@CarlyneDTQTonPod]

oh yall got Top Tier requests 🔥 this is from that 90s movie Higher Learning soundtrack Raphael Saddiq deserves his credit for music production writing arrangements

[@tiffanydeveaux9777]

💯

[@kurtadams3021]

Saadiq is a bad dude. Writer producer and singer

[@ssimmons1124]

Theres an extended version that goes for a little longer 🔥🔥🔥

[@fakeezi51]

Review Raphael Saadiq “sometimes”

[@mariahramierz4082]

OHH My 😍😍 This is so 🔥🔥🔥i love it already 😂😂 I'm sorry 😅 but I do it's so smooth too much love 💜💜💜🔥

[@rochellelove3785]

Any song from Raphael or his former group Tony Toni Tone is a hit. Get into their catalog & his solo music. He produces also. Try the song Kissing You by Total that he did for them. It flows like this.

[@MMHrtSol]

Alright it's time for the Neo-Soul artists who need more front center presence now...Yes, feels nice still after decades...woo

[@citystrollerrentals]

Loved Toni Tone Tony and all of his collaborations - until the truth came out. Talented Man

[@LeVonngaKiara]

What truth👀?

[@tdevianc679]

You gotta react to Rick James and The Temptations standing on the top you will thank me later

[@crystalhowardsgirls4874]

Oops I get it now

[@uknowwhothehelliare7821]

Jack listen you have to do get involved by Raphael and Q Tip

[@Camille4Real]

Jack out of curiosity, do you search your channel and re-watch previous reactions before doing a new song by the same artist? Like, a refresher?

[@JackReacts904]

Sometimes, yes!

[@xander8021]

ayy early gang

[@rhondawhite8153]

Home free listen to the music

[@jameshayes4390]

Longer version better

[@shante70sb]

It is better. Too me. I love the album version.

[@freein2339]

Not feeling this

[@janiemarshall7928]

Love this song, but can not listen to "white boy being the "expert " critiquing, breaking down, R&B, Hip Hop, Rap music. The nerve. 🖤🖤🖤🤎🤎🤎
