I miss being young and listening to real music from the old school like the O'jays, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Luther. I know i'm only 25 but i would rather listen to classic R&B than todays Hip Hop crap that has no meaning to it, whatever happened to songs that made you cry, or feel better. Music is suppossed to send a message, now it's just selling, but hey when you droppin like it's hot i guees idon't really matter do it.

I'm with you. It's rare that I listen or buy today's artists. My ipod stays on my old school playlist.

lol i could take t back to the 20's if i really wanted to but i go back as far as the 50's through the end of the 90's , with a splash of jill scott, KEM, Koffee Brown, Glenn Lewis, Kindred the Family Soul, Erykah Badu, I could go on.
hell i could watch vh1 soul all day, but being that i am in the UK i have no access to my soul music except through the internet , funny thing about the brits they love to remix the hell out of everything and it gets old real fast.

So many times you could have walked away
But I didn’t have to say a word to convince you to stay
‘Cause you know it and I know this thing is real
So we continue to learn and our love grows deeper still

Each day I watch you get better at this
Each moment I’m more and more convinced
We trust in love, we took the risk
We ran our own pace
We won our race
And I could never turn away

Chorus
We’ve come so far
Stars look up at you baby
My heart belongs
Right here next to you baby

If I had just one wish
It would be to stay together
Stay together, let’s grow together
It’s not much to ask of us
I know we can do it
I always knew it

Always look at me the way you do today
Treat me like a friend
Listen to what I say
Cause girl I'm wit'chu, wit'chu
All the way
I would never turn away

Chorus
We've come so far
Stars look up at you baby

I'm here baby
For you baby

My heart belongs
Right here next to you baby

Repeat chorus

Always comfort me
The same way you do today
Treat me like a friend
Listen to what I say
I would never turn away

Repeat chorus


I plan to progam my husbands Ipod with this song before he leaves for Iraq again it's called Stars by Kindred the family soul, and i would prefer this to the dethmetal that he trys to make me go deaf with lol

I still have a love for Neo soul artists but hip hop i don't buy it unless it i really can deal with the lyrics. but even with the old school music, hip hop has no real originality to the music, everybody is samplin and lets not forget Diddy(king of unoriginality) damn bad boy for life whatever.
Hell me and my mom got into a discussion about sampling due to her not realizing the song dilema was sampled from a lady of soul herself Patti Labelle. we cracked up for days on that one cause i finally was able to say mom i think you got that one wrong, but we have a good relationship. we swap playlists over the internet and sometimes i burn a cd for her and it will be months before she needs another one , but yes i really detest this music that generates millions but in 10 years this music will end up as stupid 1 hit wonders
