If Only New Jack Were a Major ...

Okay, this is probably going to be annoying for some. But this is my favorite past time. Listening to music, and talking about it. Battling with someone who knows more songs or who can set the other person off with a track they didn't think they'd hear is one of my most favorite things to do. Here's a recent convo mainly about the New Jack Swing Era of R&B. Note, this is really a listing of songs, which most of them I know all too well.

If you can't stand this, you (women) probably wouldn't be able to last a week with me. This is what I do. Me, I know you'll enjoy this one. Oh, the 'queen" I'm going back with is Chloee, one of my best friends in the world and a fellow New Jack fanatic.
