font class="post"1b, 21b, 21"This song has a nutty, serious piano intro that sounds like a Jodeci song is about to start, but I think it's there so Serch can say "you thought I was going to come with some soft R&B shit" at the beginning before the full beat blasts in. The beat is kind of spacey and catchy at the same time, which random bells and other sounds fading ina nd out over uptempo programmed drums. Probably not the kind of thing you'd find on a 3rd Bass album. This is likely because it was done by production team Wolf & Epic, likely most known at that point for producing Bell Biv Devoe, which was actually something at that time. These dudes produced beats that were a kind of a melding of hip-hop and R&B, but their first production job was for Laquan, so that's awesome. I know Epic went on to be part of Crazytown, which is really not awesome, but I didn't know Wolf was this guy, an old dude that was originally in a band with some dude from Muscle Shoals, and that brings us back to awesometown. Anyway, we're getting off topic here. My guess is that this song was intended to serve as Serch's solo introduction, it's catchy enough and has a sing along chorus of sorts, but I'm not sure it had the desired effect. For some weird reason I think it's aged pretty well."b, 21 b, 21[i]Old School Mondays Blog/i1
