Comment:

Two decades away from New Jack’s heyday, there remains a whole lot of hard-grooving history to uncover, beyond the handful of hits you still hear today. Father MC’s “I’ll Do 4 U” not only wrapped hip-hop moves around a sample of Cheryl Lynn’s “Got To Be Real,” but it also introduced the world to a teenage songbird by the name of Mary J. Blige. While it was “Oh Sheila” that made Ready for the World pop/R&B crossover kings, the rock-tinged rush of “Human Toy” — never even released as a single — could’ve given Prince a run for his money. And Michael Cooper led a whole other life as leader of Con Funk Shun — sort of a West Coast Earth, Wind & Fire — before breaking out on his own and adding a little New Jack Swing seasoning to the tantalizing table he set on the romantic “Dinner for Two.”
