El Debarge: All Samples Cleared

 •  News  •  by XXL Staff  •  9 Comments

Original Song: “All This Love” by El Debarge

Song: “Ghetto Love” by Da Brat Feat. T-Boz

El Debarge: I like that. [The first time I heard that] I was impressed; I was flattered; I was blushing. I forgot I’ve heard that before. That’s funky.

Song: “Problems” by AZ

El Debarge:That’s funky too. [But] honestly, [I like] Da Brat and T-Boz better. It’s sexier, you know what I mean? It’s hood and sexy at the same time; it’s the best of both worlds. I think they both honored the original, but you know I’m gonna choose a woman every time.

    WOW. Corn XXL, straight corn. I swear, Vibe isn’t this pathetic. I knew the r&b features in the mag would lead to this shit. Hanging on light-skint nigga’s dicks as if it was the 80′s. FOH.
    =====================
    ^From the Drake/Rhianna feature

    Oh look, a Debarge feature. I must be clairvoyant. Ya’ll must have some 80′s bred light skint chicks doing the editorials.

        Agreed! I’m tired of dark skinned people hating on their light skinned brothers and sisters for NO REASON. IT’S ALL BLACK.

    I always liked the DeBarge families’ music. It was a shame how the industry put so much pressure on them to be the next Jacksons…

    ‘Stay With Me’
    ‘Love Me In A Special Way’

    are forever songs…welcome back El…

    Hey, What About “Throw Some D’s” Song? That Sampled El. But I Got To Agree, 2Pac & Biggie Definitely Made His Songs Their Own, You Don’t See That Much No More Like You Use To. Also, I’m Glad He Gives His Opinion On People That Samples His Work. Articles Like This, Is What Keeps Me Reading XXL.
