One of my favorite Dilla remixes, ever! Obscure, but still a favorite.
The beauty is in Dill's minimalist production. Saadiq on vocals? He knocks this one out of the park.
I never liked bitchy, begging-man R&B. The two Lenny's (Lenny Williams & Lenny Kravitz) get passes. No one else.
You take the right amount of Raphael Saadiq's vocal and a hefty dose of Dill's thumping bass and the magic happens.
In the "Man Book" the pitiful, whiny man is a no-no of the highest caliber. Somehow, Ray doesn't come across as the formulaic soul singer/whiner on this record.
It...almost...sounds...kinda...cool.
Please don't tell anyone I said that.
