TODAY - WHY YOU GET FUNKY ON ME

[@ants8527]

The New Jack Swing Era From 1986" to about 1993" was a funtime And always will bring back memories of my childhood in the 80s And my teen days of the early mid 90s🎶😎

[@donmiles3927]

Facts! Pretty much exactly that date range/years as well! 👍 Case in point, almost every other song had me as one of the FIRST to hit the dance floor......and I was a very reserved INTROVERT. New Jack...turned me out! Arguably my favorite era in all music history!

[@toyforadeebay4644]

[@antoniowyckoff2]

Why did this kind of sound leave us?

[@handsomeX]

Great question! 💯🔥

[@Darkanent]

Rap and the record labels destroyed R&B.

[@tedkay]

this was the Jam!! big boy can Blow and got some moves!

[@bnice3138]

Didn't believe a thing about the New Jack Swing, Teddy Riley was waaaaaay ahead of his time man i miss these beautiful days

[@retroguy1976]

[@ladicassh01]

As a kid who loved to dance New Jack Swing was unmatched 💯🔥

[@WillsJazzLoft]

WOW! It's understandable that all those moves would leave them breathless. But then I look at old videos of James Brown and I see that same energy and exuberance being delivered. Think I've Got That Feeling ( not to be confused with the tune recorded by Today )

[@phoney4387]

I remember us being hella hype Don let Bub do the rap verse #IFYKYK I'm still waiting on Today & Bub to get their flowers ♥️

[@Elwrt455]

[@whharmon6987]

I remember listening to this at the A-club in Yokosuka, Japan in early 1990 when I was in the U.S. Navy on the USS Midway. Are there any former midway people still out there who were stationed during that time?

[@robertbrooks1509]

Wasnt at Yokosuka but at Yokota at that time. Yokosuka, Yokota and Atsugi use to get poppin

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

I was stationed in Yokosuka, but years later from 2013-2015. Love me some New Jack Swing!

[@catboyzee]

Big Bub's baritone voice kinda reminds me of 80s R&B singer James 'D-Train' Williams.

[@sayecarrie]

Infidel14? I agree.

[@tazzhardwick7466]

Infidel14? damn near identical i always thought that as well

[@iluvmyboba]

I never made that comparison. But, I hear it loud and clear.

Hate??? Such a strong term...

[@youlovemeIloveme]

@@still730bf HATE! The remix Big Bub re-recorded his vocals like he didn't even care and whoever did the remix rearranged the cord progression making it a completely different song! HATE is in its proper usage.
