Da Cap'n 2099

Just watch it.

How did Mandy not win for this year?

@The Vagrant

*nervous* Haha! I just thought the meme was funny.

Jesus Christ, this one got me.

Can you see it now?

We'll always have that first season...

But she's the girl from Game of Thrones...

Can everyone, that's not Kentaro Miura, never touch Berserk? Ever again?

Thor 2 will look like Citizen Kane next to Venom.

While I think all will suck, I'm thinkin Aquaman will surprise the world by being fine. Not good. Fine. Phoenix will be Apocalypse 2 and Venom? Venom will be Catwoman. It'll be Elektra. It'll be unwatchable.

I really gotta get caught up.

Now you're just posting R&B joints. We have another thread for that. Nah, this genre is better suited being smaller rather than larger. I love the idea that this was just a flash in the pan and can only exist between "this date" and "this date" and with strict rules. Like Bruno Mars made that joint wit Cardi B and can NEVER be considered New Jack Swing because it was made in 2018.

Nah, Heavy-D's verse on Jam isn't the disqualifying factor for it being taken off the list. It's the fact that it's a Michael Jackson song. It's like if Justin Bieber made an album where he raps on a handful tracks (in between singing) and it's considered a hip-hop album. No, it's still pop. Heavy-D's songs above, however, are rap heavy (heh) and can be argued don't belong in the genre. Also, I forgot to mention this in my earlier post, but what is that Queen Pen song doing in this thread?

So, I'll be honest here: the majority of the videos posted are fine. All fall under my 4 criteria for the New Jack Swing sound. 1) R&B singing. 2) Funky 90s dance beat/slapping snare drum. 3) Rap verse. And the most important... 4) Young black/urban student lifestyle. Yes, some of these songs are about money and cars and that's not New Jack. The song must be about what it's like to be young, black, in high school/college. MJ having a song up where Michael Jordan is shootin around is not New Jack. Also, while I love Heavy-D, his songs have too much rapping. It's crazy to exclude him as he might have helped created the genre (along with Teddy Riley). I'm willing to discuss this point. The others? No. My word is final. No exceptions.

And who I mean I by "y'all," I mean @The NZA.

Ok, I've purposely avoided this thread because of y'alls egregious misunderstanding of the New Jack Swing sound. I WILL be back to educate y'all properly.

Garbage things. Now, will you excuse me, gonna marathon Rick & Morty for the 30th time.

Nah, it's gonna be all of LeBron's friends. D-Wade, Chris Paul, Melo, Bosh, and maybe Shaq... because it's Shaq.

Here's that sourcebook I mentioned earlier:

Jesus. I might have to just look at yours. I own every volume and that's already quite the investment.
