Guest Dante Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 you're out of touch BAZZA, what you want is Snoop Dogg,"Drop it like it's hot",or "Put your hands up for Detroit",or Kanye West,"GOLDDIGGA(ray charles sample) Drop it like it's hot is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than that. I wouldn't play it either at a northern do but it's certainly better then that poppy sh*te. And if a nigga gets attitude? Dropit it like it's hot! hahaha Cheers
KevH Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Not actually a sample is it, thought it was Jamie Foxx (who was in the Ray film) singing? (I've only heard this because I am sporadically forced to listen to Radio 1 at work ) no not actually a sample,but flavored from RCharles track,some one correct me ,i may be wrong. Don't knock Radio 1,mogadon for the masses.....or is that Big Brother?

KevH Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) Not sure what language we speaking here Kev Bazza here's one you'll remember Bazza...it's frothy man!!!(can't beat a bit of retro speak) Edited June 12, 2007 by KevH
Peter99 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 or is that Big Brother? Not far off the mark Kev - Big Brother is pure shite for the masses.
Mak Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I just don't believe ANYONE could even think of playing pop shite out anywhere. FFS what next Billy Ocean.
Barry Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Hardly newish its just under 20 years old........and sorry, but there's a whole load of better modern R&B tunes out there....than this pile of 'swing beat' sh*te...... IMO of course...... Girf In one - sorry.
Guest kent soul club Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I just don't believe ANYONE could even think of playing pop shite out anywhere. FFS what next Billy Ocean. Are you for real ? Billy Ocean is 'kin brill! Is it just cos he had some commercial success ? His surname aint even Wilson ! But sorry Baz, Couldn't even click on the BB tune-I remember how much I hated it when it was in the charts. It always makes me think of Colonel Abrams- I'm Trapped. Must have been out around the same time. Regards, Magoo.
Nocker Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Bazza The big problem is "Its not, repeat, not" Northern Soul!!!!!
Bazza Posted June 14, 2007 Author Posted June 14, 2007 Bazza The big problem is "Its not, repeat, not" Northern Soul!!!!! Yep..no argument from me, but lets face it half the stuff played at a local do' is'nt " northern " you get house, crossover, lot of the modern stuff aint "northern" and of course R&B...tell you what tho' if a do' only played 100mph Northern......I would'nt go..times have changed Bazza
Sharon Cooper Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Yep..no argument from me, but lets face it half the stuff played at a local do' is'nt " northern " you get house, crossover, lot of the modern stuff aint "northern" and of course R&B...tell you what tho' if a do' only played 100mph Northern......I would'nt go..times have changed Bazza I'm definately with you on this Bazza.
Nocker Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Bazza. You are right. My point is, it is a recent pop hit, all be it nearly twenty years ago. Whould it get any play now if it was a new release, I doubt it. The examples you gave above, the various types of soul are collectivly "Northern Soul" in my view. Bobby Browns records and the type of R&B of his generation do not register with me as playable at a Northern venue playing across the board tracks. (I have got loads of modern R&B tracks in my collection as like most Northern Soul collectors i have picked up all sorts over the years) By the way I do a bit of DJing with a large helping of modern in my spot, so I am not in any way "oldies only blinkered"
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 but when we talk about current R & B, i know i said Mary J Blige and R Kelly but they have been out since what early 90's maybe even late 80's. Only fact is they still make records appealing to younger people, Bobby Brown not done anything for a while not that i know off. Maybe we can all dig out his albums and see what is lurking on them ready to play out. I had the same idea wanting to play remix of Mariah Carey - We Belong Together which is a great tune
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 and of course times change, if they hadn't had Modern included as Northern style music i would not hear Crazy World - Kenny Thomas which i love
Guest Ollie Lailey Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 No No No. I think anyone playing this record at any nightclub of anykind would be laughed of the decks and then have rotten vegtables thrown at them. The idea that this really bad record from really bad era of pop music could be played at a soul do is hysterical.
Guest Hector Rivera Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 My point is, it is a recent pop hit, all be it nearly twenty years ago. Only on the Northern scene could this statement be made with a straight face ....
Nocker Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Hector. Only on the Northern scene... I am now laughing my head off :fool
