The video coulda been like a Soulquarian impromptu jam session. The shots coulda been setup in the studio and maybe a li'smokefilled club. It woulda been off the hook!

Quest, Poyser and Jay Dee as the band, wit Jill Scott and Bilal setup as the background singers. Guest shots with Q-Tip, Mos Def, Kweli, Hi-Tek, Lucy Pearl, Erykah Badu, Pops, The (rest of) Roots, Vinia Mojica, Macy Gray etc.

The end of the song, when Bilal does his thing, would switch to a 70's type of feel...like a Marvin Gaye concert.

Now tell me this wouldnt have been a blazer!!!

it would have made a bangin single too--i know several people that would have eaten it up.

i'm sayin the whole campaign made ya wonder i guess, i'm sayin if he went plat regardless, do you decide whether he went mainstream off of who his appeal was to or simply by the fact that platinum sales don't necessarily denote an 'underground' tip anymore?? regardless, anyone who wasn't feelin funky 4 u .. needs to do like parliament funkadelic said and get they ear up to the speaker. . .

but sorry yo, that's a kinda cliche video. that's like "let's take digable planets and make it brighter, in full color." i'm all about creativity in videos, and yo, the tiny smoke-filled club? what is this, 92?

keep in mind, i'm not saying i fully endorsed the "ghetto heaven" video, because it really didn't go anywhere.

but "funky for you" is a HELL of a song, and it coulda made a ver visually interesting video. i still think the "ghetto heaven remix" was a HUGE mistake on the part of MCA records. sorry label guy, but it's true, "funky for you" woulda been another plaque. i also think it might have had more universal appeal than ghetto heaven, and while the remix had a HELL of a beat, i think funky for you woulda had more longevity, espec. on the radio and in the clubs.

just recycled wit a twist...The picture in my head woulda been kinda Digable-ish I guess but yea alot more colorful. Which woulda made post '92. Dont forget I mentioned the clips in the studio too, which woulda made it kinda original. I dont have any recollection of any videos like that.

Plus the theme of the video woulda been musicians in a jam session kinda vibe. Like..."hey we all in the studio, lets jam!" It just would have added to the vibe that they, the soulquarians, put out. It woulda been for the people that dont really go to the poetry spots, so they could get a feel of how it is.

I think most of this has been inspired by me going to poetry/jazz spots over the past year and being in the studio while my boys were recording their album. It has become one of my favorite things to do, so i'd like to see that on the idiot box.

but i'm sayin, i think it's pigeon-holing to put out a common video that's supposed to be a "poetry spot." because that song is HIPHOP, not "poetry spot." i got no personal problem with any poetry cats, but i ain't really into that shit, and i sure as hell don't think it makes for a hot video. i like the studio shit though, because you never see that in a video really, and that could be much more interesting.

but i mean, that whole "organic jam poetry spot" thing just leaves such a bad taste in my mouth, shit's so painfully cliche, the roots have spent the past 6 or 7 years trying to shake that image, i don't see why they should go out and reinforce it. it just feeds into all the jackasses who think that sampling isn't "real hiphop" and that BEP or arrested development is more hiphop than biggie.

Now we cant argue, lol...Who thinks Arrested Development is more hiphop than Biggie? I need to go slap'em wit the butt of my gun!

Man, I don't visit the site in a while, come back and I'm taking shots. Once and for all, I felt "Funky For You". MCA didn't remix "Geto Heaven", the artist did and we supported him on his decision. Macy came off the bench to do her thing when the first choice artist wasn't feelin it. Haven't we talked about this before?

what about funky for you as a third single? an album hits almost 700,000, the label can't put a third single out to push it platinum? i understand the remix was the artist's decision, i respect that, but isn't it essentially the job of a label to promote the highest possible sales? i'm not saying you personally or anyone at the label consciously decided to push the remix over funky for you, but i AM questioning why no one at the label made the push for platinum with a guaranteed banger.

FACT: "Funky For You" would have been the 5th single & 4th video from the LWFC project. Name some most recent hip-hop artists that have had 4 videos from 1 album.

One thing you are not taking into account is the financial side of things aka "the bottom line" (money going out versus rate of sale, etc.) Unfortunately, out of respect for any artist I deal with, I never talk about their budgets, especially on the internet.

5th single?

sixth sense
light
ghetto heaven rmx

what am i missing? was "dooinit" actually a single? i thought that was a promo b-side for sixth sense, but maybe i'm wrong.

and frankly, i can hardly count the sixth sense, since i think i saw that video all of ONCE on BET, and it was probably the least successful primo single in a decade. because of when it came out, i think it acted like more of a promo single than anything else, i guess that wasn't the intention, but it sure didn't burn up urban radio.

not unfortunate at all, i'm glad you don't discuss that stuff.

i'm not trying to come off like some snotty fucker who thinks he knows how it all works. i guess i'm making a 20/20-hindsight observation, that being that "funky for you" was the strongest radio track on that album after "the light," and that said track never saw the light of day. i guess i'd really have to take it up with the artists though, and since they've really got no reason to defend their decisions to me, it's a moot point.

can't none of yall deny though, that shit's catchy as hell.

>5th single
Sorry I got technical on you. I counted "Dooinit" (promo) and made the mistake of including "Funky For You" (promo) because we sent out "Funky For You" 12"s and CDpros 2 weeks before we made the switch to "The Light".

>and frankly, i can hardly count
>the sixth sense, since i
>think i saw that video

>least successful primo single in

BET didn't bang it cuz the head of programming changed the game for all acts to where the amount of video spins is determined by radio spins. "6th Sense" was obviously a song for the headz and not the radio. If he would've come radio first the headz would've squawked. By the way the "6th Sense" 12" single has sold MORE than "The Light" 12".

because of
>when it came out, i
>think it acted like more
>of a promo single than
>anything else, i guess that
>wasn't the intention, but it
>sure didn't burn up urban

A record that sounds like "6th Sense" that would never blow up urban radio unless the whole game changed.

Once & for all, I wanted "Funky For You". The artist, A&R, & President believed "Geto Heaven Pt. 2" would take him to platinum by expanding his audience more mainstream and that "Funky For You" would limit him at urban radio. Hindsight is that the attempt to go mainstream was premature....should've stayed urban and built more of a solid base there. Video with Jill....

MAN, I AGREE TOTALLY..... THAT BILAL SONG IS THE JOINT; IT TOOK ME TWO MONTHS TO LISTEN TO THE REST OF THE ALBUM CAUSE I WAS STUCK ON THAT SHORT SONG.....

"Niggas mad cause Ibrags about the cash I got, but I'm used to not havin alot, I'm from the gutter and ohh..."-Jay-Z

"Expensive shoes worn, Loui Viton see-through gone, CoChes, my face is like a coupon..."Jay-Z

These are the most responses Ive gotten on a post. Now if i can just find the secret, i can be loved and reverred by all okayplayers!!! HA

yea, I'm corny at times...but whateva

1) Macy Gray is just annoying to me. The voice, the clothes, the attitude, everything. So, yes I wasn't probably going to feel it from the beginning, but nonetheless she annoys the crap outta me.

2) The remix is hands down worse the the original. I never understand this. I mean, the song could have been really really good, and STILL not lived up to the original. I love the LP version. Commons verses are still great, but there weren't any improvments

3) The video was pretty cool, with the whole swirly shit, but it smacked with crossover effort. I'm not going to judge this action or anything, I mean he has to do what he has to do, and I respect this, I'm just saying, when its obvious, I don't like it. What happened to the "ghetto" heaven. I don't think it there was anything bad about it, but it was exactly what it was supposed to be: one last try at a plaque, and thats cool, but I'd like to not be able to tell this. I don't know, I 'm probably just over analizing it.

4)Common's clothes. I usually like how he dresses, really. But with the combination of everything else, it was too much. I don't think he should change who he is, but in combination with macy, the soft look of the video, the particular beat, it will end up hurting hurt him with close-minded folks.

5) It came out after the light. I know Com isn't some thug, but too pull back to back lovey songs, again will turn some people away. I wouldn't have felt this way about the original though.

All in all, I don't disrespect common for any one thing he did IN the song or video, just the fact that he did a remix. If Macy was on the original that would have been one thing, but to switch it, I just didn't feel that

Peace,
Total...

I don't know what they were smokin' when they picked The Light and Geto Heaven instead of Funky 4 U and Time Travelin.

Whats ya beef wit them? I understand people's beef wit Macy, it took me awhile b4 I use to her voice(her back up singers deserved a bonus check). But whats wrong wit Lucy Pearl? That cd was really good.

should've been released as a single (radio only)


and Song for Assata should've been the next video


time traveling should've got love too


my thoughts though
