but more specifics from the beginning of our exchange could have warded off any unnecessary tension. Yes, the a cappella version of "Back to Life" would be considered an early version of hip-hop soul. Since you didn't specify this version, my mind defaulted to the full version.

Please accept my apologies as I am not trying to start any trouble with anyone. I don't post often but when I do, I look for areas where I can engage in in-depth music discussion.

peace.
