Please listen to something from Maxwell, you can start with something from Maxwell’s The Urban Hang Suite (Ascension or Sumthin’ Sumthin’) or from the Embrya album. He’s a neo-soul artist. Since you enjoyed Erykah Badu, I think you will like him because he’s a contemporary.
Alex Alt
Akua Naru - Poetry: How does it feel?
Marco
Spence Lee - “spend my days” Cleo Sol - “things will get better”
Sovieski Perez

The Almighty RSO- You’ll Never Know You guys are going to love this Beat. *The intro Sample is from the Coen Brothers film “Millers Crossing”.
Sovieski Perez
Hodge- Head Nod (Music Video) This is an underrated track. Good summer jam *This song samples Tony! Toni! Toné! Song “Anniversary”. They are artist you covered on the people’s champ #9

Enjoyed this theme! Next theme suggestion: Covers. Songs that are equivalent or better than the original Song Reaction #11: Don’t know why-Norah Jones Alabama Shakes- Gimme All Your Love (I’ve seen a lot of suggestions for this song- I think dad would enjoy it. Plus since he likes southern hip hop he might enjoy a little southern rock:)
Sovieski Perez
People’s choice#11 Dead Prez- Hell Yeah (Music Video) The cinematography in this video is masterful.
Tnulb
I'm usually a rule follower, and already suggested my 2 BUT it dawned on me that you guys have never discussed the duo Camp Lo. I'm VERY curious what you think of their style. Camp Lo...either "Coolie High" or "Luchini"
Nicole
Suggestion for theme week: Favorite songs from a movie soundtrack.
Nicole
Yes! My brother & I love this song. It always amuses us when we run into someone else that knows about it.
The FrontRoom
The only Tracy Chapman I’ve ever heard is Fast Car. I remember the first time I heard it, back I think in ‘86. Definitely need to hear more. - dad
The FrontRoom
Nice, Happy birthday!
djhyjak
some new jack swing is a must
djhyjak
glad you fellas enjoyed Fantastic negrito, (if possible the videos are a must) Living Color - Cult of Personality (late 80's Hard Rock) Jaz-O - Hawaiian Sophie (late 80's Hip Hop)
ProRenae
There were two genres that became popular beginning in the mid to late 80s 1) Latin Freestyle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freestyle_music) Shannon - "Let the Music Play" or Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - "I Wonder if I Take You Home" 2) New Jack Swing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_jack_swing) Keith Sweat - "I Want Her" or Bobby Brown "Don't Be Cruel"

-Jacob Banks "Bang" ALSO...I highly recommend this album, criminally underrated. Tracy Chapman's album "Let it Rain" is so cerebral and raw. Even if it's not reviewed, it's worth a listen. I'll recommend: Tracy Chapman "You're the One" This was tough though because EVERY song on the album is incredible (that wasn't even actually my first suggestion, changed it twice, while typing this. I went with a more upbeat one that is a bit more easily digestible and less heavy) Love the theme idea by the way! Very fun to hear some unique stuff!
Tnulb
AMAZING song!
Maya
Hi guys, thanks so much for getting to my suggestion! It's actually my birthday today so it felt very serendipitous that the reaction should be today, thank you! I would say it's definitely more punk than funk. Nonetheless, I'm glad you were able to appreciate how eclectic the song is and how special it is that these albums are released and not lost over the years. As a British viewer, I would love to see some UK rap be covered on the channel. My suggestion is The Streets - Fit but you know it or Don't mug yourself. Great story telling and super British, especially for a Midlands girl haha. Have a great weekend!
Anthony Mendoza
80’s rap/hip hop theme would be nice for the next themed peoples choice
Veronica Estrell
I love this channel ❤️ Most of the songs you play on people choice i never hurd as well and i have been able to find new music for my playlist. The duffler is definitely a new one.
Anthony Mendoza
Great video! For peoples choice #11 I want to recommend (Because I’m me by the Avalanches) since Kai brought them up this video. I highly recommend the video cause I think dad will like the message it also includes a rapper from Camp Lo which is a rap duo from the 90’s that has a similar rap style to Jay Z. I would recommend listening to them in the future too
Richard and Raya
E-40- Rappers Ball Pall Wall- Sideways
Lady LaReux
Creator is used for fashion shows which I love about it. It is very electronic, bizzaro & chaotic. This is like punk rap and an art piece to me. Appreciate you reacting to my suggestion, it's OK Dad if you didn't feel it.... 🤷🏾♀️
Shaquea White
If you do another odd song People's Choice can you add Magic Dance by David Bowie? It's from the movie Labyrinth.
Ruben Reyes
I love the idea of a themed People's Choice. Good to hear you're doing it again. My pick for #11 is "The Cool Thing To Do" by Soul Position
Hodge House
I'm just here for Santigold! 🔥🔥
Izzy
Ahh first K-Rino and now whisper- serpentwithfeet!!! You guys are spoiling me with my picks!! Excited to get to your reactions on it.
Sheivon Jackson
Hip hop: Denzel Curry- Walkin R&B: Eric Roberson-Start all over again
Michael kebede
Monalisa - lil wayne and Kendrick, one of the best storytelling songs pls
ProRenae
Those white guys in Afroman's video are from a movie called "Clerks".
Jiminy
Crucial Conflict - Hay
Theo Holmgren
Suggestion for next week: The Bitter Swing by Amber Oak. A very melancholic indie/folk-rock song about breaking up etc etc
Jiminy
Fantastic negrito is a great recommendation.
