Let's talk Tony! Toni! Toné!

[Zoots]

ElMel's thread about De La Soul made me give 3 Feet High.. another spin and now I'm in the mood for more old school rap/hip hop/funk etc. These guys, Tony! Toni! Toné! were I guess more hip hop soul and funk? I only know that one song Let's Get Down from their 4th album. I remember enjoying that video on MTV in the 90s. I'm sure I've heard hits from their heyday but can't recall any names. I suppose 1990's The Revival is their best one? Any fans here?

Are you serious?

Yes? Are they considered some sort of guilty pleasure or something? lol.

No, not a guilty pleasure. They're just Tony Toni Tone. You may the first person not in the band to mention them since, like, 1994.

Haha! I requested some Tony Toni Tone at a club the other day and the DJ actually played some stuff!

Move over Delilah!

Well, it doesn't feel like you have a hernia....but you look like you could use a massage (chicka chicka beh beh, chicka chika pooooong).

 

[Dalton]

all I'm saying is that tony, toni, tone have done it again.

 

[UberBeaver]

They should post it in the Who Got Lucky thread then, no?

 

[corianderstem]

I have "If I Had No Loot" on my iPod. I think that's the only song I ever heard by them.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm not one to judge a band by their covers, but..........shit.

I remember the song about Loot. I thought it was cool that they were funky and used instruments back then when everyone else was gangsta rap or sounded like Boys 2 Men.

 

[Zoots]

?

What would a collaboration with Tone Loc have been like?

Tony! Toni! Tone... Tone?

YouTube - Tony! Toni! Toné! - If I Had No Loot

And you can new jack swiiiiing on my nuts!

 

[MrPryck2U]

Tony, Toni, Tone are New Jack Swing. And since that genre didn't last too long, they didn't last too long. I dug their sound, though.

 

[Zoots]

I dig the New Jack Swing...

YouTube - Mary J Blige-Real Love

YouTube - Michael Jackson - Jam

YouTube - Bobby Brown - Humpin' Around: With Intro

 

[lazarus]

Shitty, shitti, shitte.

 

[Dalton]

shut up

 

[Zoots]

I just heard like 3 songs off their Revival CD. They were not very good. Too slow and boring.

I still love this one though:

YouTube - Tony Toni Toné - Let's Get Down

So funky!

*Click on the title link! Just hitting play doesn't seem to work. *

That Loot song is good too. I guess I like the danceable numbers.

You're officially a nerd

 

[Zoots]

You're officially a nerd

Cos I like new jack swing?

 

[BoMac]

Cos I like new jack swing?

Zoots

She means it because you misinterpreted her on the previous page. I took her to mean "I can't believe he started a thread on Tony!Toni!Toné!" and you replied with a "?"

So now you're a nerd because of it, not because of new jack swing.

 

[Zoots]

Do you want to make out or something?

 

[BoMac]

Do you want to make out or something?

Only if you're not drunk. You know my rule about that.
























And, of course not!! No offense.

 

[Zoots]

I was just wondering... because you're apparently finding a lot of my posts cute lately.
