So the dude, Blackink done done it again. This here’s a list of slow jams, in form if not necessarily content. Typically, my goal is to kinda uncover some hidden gems. Because I’m goin first, I don’t know if there are any specifications for the list, so we just gon go for it. (BTW, 36:12 is not the length of the playlist. It’s a reference to a line in a Redman song)
***In the interest of accuracy update
Blackink made me actually think about the lyrics to the song and remember that it’s really 36:12, not 46:12.

Fam, you just about killed it. Love’s Train. Wow. Totally missed that one.
We gonna end up sharing a song. And there’s two more that nearly made the list. Mine is coming out a little later this evening.
i’ma guess that shared song is either Sumthin Sumthin or Nothing Even Matters.
The next list is gon be the real-real joint. It’s gon’ be the one based on what my friends would say I’d be playin based on the rep. That joint’s gonna be crazy.
Avery,
You’re hurting me with this list! Man, I’m at the j-o-b and the brain is itching to hear some of these songs – on full blast. lol
JJ’s The Body That Loves You…thought I was the only one jamming that one. And don’t even get me started with the Lauryn and D’Angelo clip.
Always have love for the Ohio Players and Ms. Jill Scott. Crown Royal is intoxicating. lol. Did ya like that? Yeah, I thought it was smooth. lol.
I’m out!
Also, remind me, which Redman song is it? It’s been killing me. This is on “Muddy Waters,” ain’t it? I was gonna say “Soopaman Luva 3.”
That was a clutch reference, either way.
@ BA : welcome to the madhouse. You will find our beats bass heavy and just right.
@ BI : DINGDINGDING!!! You win the prize. Soopaman Luva 3, it is…or was it 36 minutes and 12 seconds? I think it’s really 36:12. But I’ma be sayin 46 from here on out. That’s my story and I’m stickin to it. Nah. I can’t do that. I’ma change the title to the post.
Lol. Ay, folks would have been none the wiser. You copped to that one, bruh. That’s the honorable thing to do.
Speaking of which, I really need to dust off “Muddy Waters.” I was bumping that nonstop in ‘96.
Make Me Whole – Amel Larrieux
