[Armpit_licker]

Crossroads by Bone Thugs N Harmony.

 

[some1somewhere]

I'm not much of a listener of either hip hop or r&b, the first thing that has came to my mind when I saw the thread is the Humpey dance (or whatever it is called). "Do the humpty hump, come on do humpty hump... My name is humpty pronuanced with an umpty..."

aaagh, wham wham (sound of some1somewhere ramming his head against the wall tiring to get that forsaken song out of his head.)

 

[Sexicana]

this one is more rap but it has the R&B/Hip Hop feel...
"One More Chance" by the late GREAT Nototorious B.I.G.--RIP 🙁

Your friendly neighborhood old school brother in Soul,

 

[MAJ0718]

One more thing, and not to sound like a commercial, there is an ad on cable TV for a CD called "Slow Motion". This CD features all the good R&B slow jams throughout the 90s by people such as Brandy, Boyz II Men, Tevin Campbell, and Babyface. You can order it by calling 1-800-791-6464. I know that this sounds like some kind of corny commercial, but I wanted to let you know in case you haven't seen it.

 

[Sexicana]

It doesnt sound corny at all. Thanks for the tip.. 🙂

 

[Sexicana]

Here's a classic
