I Wantcha Baby
2008-06-02 01:01:00
Ok, the homies have been asking for this track over in the comment box, so I'm gonna give it up. The only reason I never posted it before is because: 1) i don't think it was ever turned into a real song and 2) 9th Wonder did NOT do this Billy Paul track justice! Some songs just need to be left the hell alone. . . On a lighter note, I would suggest that anybody that makes quiet storm playlists to get it poppin add this song IMMEDIATELY! This has to be one of the smooooooothest songs I've ever heard. And thank ya boy Papagiorgio in the morning. . . . ;o)9th Wonder - Hadizzle (instrumental)Billy Paul - I Wantcha Baby

And then I get to post a pic of fine ass Pam Grier!? C'MON!Willie Hutch - Theme of Foxy Brown/Overture of Foxy BrownFreeway feat. Scarface - Baby Don't Do It**Is it safe to say that Free might be one of the most underrated rappers of this millenium? I feel like he was the only one on the Roc that was around so much success, yet spit like he was still hungry. . . Hell, I think Sigel got a lil lax and that's why we got The Solution after the gem that was The B. Coming. . . .

Enchantment is an R&B group out of Detroit which was active during the late 70s and early 80s. However, they never really got their big break, and stayed pretty much a local act. I personally think they are underrated. I got "Forever More" on one of my slow jams playlists. . . . Enchantment - Forever MoreEnchantment - Forever More
