think i loved it before i could even picture what a breakup could feel like. not a lot of niggas getting together in kindergarten but i had some super crushes ha. knew i liked the songs but the painful irony in the romance of it def didnt hit me then.

all the kings horses (sheesh)
miss you
keep you satisfied
send for me
maybe your baby (breakup funk?)

one mo gin prolly the best one of the last 25 years. def behind them on the league 75 but not far behind.

L.T.D. - where did we go wrong?

Whew, them joints TUFF!

yea ozzy kilt that

shit is like an inspirational break up song due to the tempo.

Slick Rick - Teenage Love

hanging around and buying em stuff, you see them every damn day yet don’t see them enough!!!

and the dopest white breakup songs of all time is..

Wham - Never Gonna Dance Again.. guilty feet have got no rhythm. Yo!!!
Simply Red - I’ll Keep Holding On

you damn near have to smile when that song plays

https://youtu.be/93Tft_2jx28?si=YCIa8cyO6IT-0uju

all my friends and family weren’t ready.

I showed the fuck out

I was drunk and high, the mic had a dope lil reverb on it and I already knew the words so I went all the way in. Old ladies trying to grind on me while my wife was cracking up

then went right back to the corner and sipped my $4 double of grey goose.

such a great song.

nigga said the karaoke acoustics were immaculate

it was over

Where they do that at?

and can you give me directions?

lol

Long Island mini pitchers for $7

it was our VFW. Used to go in there with 20 dollars and come out drunk, high, belly filled with food and change in your pocket.

Someone is buying you at least 2 drinks.

My aunt cooking catfish nuggets and wings. My dad smoking joints with his friends.My grandad used to sell liquor out his trunk right in front of the place during softball games.

That place used to have James Brown and Duke Ellington play after hours back in the day after they played in Pittsburgh

We had all our parties, wedding receptions at this place

Then all our elders passed away and the next generation didn't pay the taxes and we lost it.

My favorite version. Of course, the original by Dionne Warwick is great too.

hard to choose for me. perfect juxtaposition of masculine/feminine energy.

hayes hurt as shit ha and the music is angry. love how the intro foreshadows the chaos at the end.

she also hurt but more like a sweet “really didnt wish you had to but also you should definitely keep it pushin when you see me my nigga.”

also like how the respective song lengths add to the story. hayes’ is angry but that sadness gonna give you 11 minutes to consider and maybe stop lol where dionnes is more resolute.

The emotional response of the subject is very different in each case.

Thank God 25 years later haven't need another breakup song.

thought itd be obvious.

guess thats how niggas end up traveling to fight on here back in the day. one wrong post with a poorly placed comma…nigga ended a sentence with one too many exclamation points…next thing you know.

no beef at all playboy.

and if you can pull it off you can ROCK the crown on Karaoke.

The live version (Carnegie Hall) is the best version, IMO>

>The live version (Carnegie Hall) is the best version, IMO>

Never heard this one. Definitely checking it out.

You got to listen to the whole album then. I hate live versions. I hate concert albums

BUT THIS ONE....

Seriously, I've heard it a million times and I've NEVER gotten tired of it. Do yourself a favor and take the time to listen to that joint start to finish - it's entertaining as hell. Then do ME a favor and tell me what you thought, even if you hate it. I wanna know!

:)

this one when I went through a divorce 8 years ago. Lyrics hit close to home. Just a powerful song. There were so many other songs that got me through that difficult time, but no song better encapsulates what I was experiencing better than Bulletproof Soul.
