I love Alexander O'Neal so much and I really hope he's healthy and happy.
13387198, I didn’t fuck with this song when it came out

but for some reason a few years ago this song started making the rounds again and it’s such a good song.

Had a few cuts like this back in the day that I wasn’t ready for back then. I was either into the slow jams by Keith and New Edition and Guy but songs like this one were the real deal.

13387219, This is one of those songs that I don't think about very often.

It never seems to be in the forefront of my mind when I think about the 80s.

But whenever it pops up and I give it a listen, I always think, "This may be one of the best songs that I've ever heard in my life."
13387226, song is amazing, video is hilarious

13387239, Amazing song. The video probably did him no favors though

I'll put the old school classic I'm linking below in the same category. Jeff looks like the most insane player hater & stalker

"Get ready....for your blessing....."
"Bury me by my Grand-Grand and when you can come follow me"

taking other guys women has always been kinda celebrated in Harlem.
As I gotten older it's gone from amusing to disturbing. Plenty of single ladies out here.

I mean at least Doug E was taking a girl from an abuser in this song but smh.

This was the jam when I was about yay high.
13387329, In his unsung episode it was implied that this song was his last shot

I can't remember which talking head it was that pointed this out and also added something to the effect of "on this song he he was actually singing for his life"

Everyone was just about done with his ongoing drug habit
13387332, Oh shit I might have to watch that one
