"You will know, trouble heart you'll know/ Problems have solutions, trust and I will show"
Powerful music. Here Jodeci, Mary J join Stevie to sing his 1988 #1 hit.
"Girl I'm reaching out my hand/ I'm tryna make you understand/ that you don't have to be alone/ because I wanna be your man"
If you were born in the 90s, it's a good chance Jodeci was the reason. As long as I have their 3 albums, I don't even care if another R&B group even comes out
"We don't have to rush the night away, there's always gonna be another day"
This has always been one of my favorite songs by them that reminds couples they shouldn't rush into sex and to try to show some self-control. K-Ci's dancing in this video cracks me up too
This version is a must-see for if no other reason than to see K-Ci act a clown lol. As you an see the Bankhead Bounce had just came out also. They actually made this 2nd version so Aaron Hall could be in the video
I still have this on VHS from BET's Midnight Love. Danny Boy was the teenage singer on Death Row Records who sang the hooks on many of Pac's classic songs (I Ain't Mad At Cha, Picture Me Rollin, Heaven Ain't Hard 2 Find, Toss It Up, etc). This was the first single on his unreleased Death Row debut album It's About Time. Luckily the album will finally be released on April 20th .
FUN FACT: This was co-produced by DeVante Swing (Jodeci) and features Ginuwine singing the chorus. The video also has cameos by 2Pac, Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound.
This is one of my favorite live performances. You can automatically feel that they were dating and truly singing this song to each other. The album version was already classic & they proceded to even blow it out of the water.
And say what you want about K-Ci, he is the reason that Mary J wrote & recorded a classic album ("My Life") all about him lol. And I miss when MTV did Unplugged. I don't think too many current singers could even attempt to do one.

This is the first actual Cut Up that I released back in 2007 and include nearly all of my favorite songs (#7 is my all-time favorite by the way). FYI "QT" mean quality time. If you pay attention to tracklisting and interludes, it tells the story of a relationship:
Before this I had been making personal Cut Up mixes for myself since '02 and people kept creeping me for them lol. Shoutout to my homie Joseph Blue for helping me come up with the name for this series lol. When I made my first personal mix at Tennessee State University on his computer our freshman year, he suggested that maybe I label it "Cotton's Cuts" and it sparked me to add "Cut Up" after the slang term that means umm..."getting affection" lol.
