Get Involved - Raphael Saadiq f/ Q-Tip

[A Thug Named Slickback]

This is just more proof that 1999 was a great year for music.

Even though Raphael Saadiq has released two excellent albums full of great soulful songs, my favorite single from him was this tune from The PJ's soundtrack in 1999. "Get Involved" is anupbeat, feel-good R&B/Hip-Hop track that features a bouncing beat underneath cool performances from Raphael and Q-Tip. Though I'm not always a fan of rappers ad-libbing throughout songs, Q-Tip's ad-libs actually enhance this song.

Raphael Saadiq is super-talented IMO. And I like the fact that he doesn't make straight commercial music, but rather focuses on making solid R&B.

Ahhh man, thanks for sharing. I actually like the non-rap version. I am going to search for this jam! This is one of two songs of his that I really liek without of course Tony Toni Tone'.

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

HOT!

[Mic Technique]

One of the ALL TIME greatest R&B tracks, seriously. Not a big fan of Raphael's work but this song was beyond excellent. Q-Tip definitely makes the song even hotter.

Oh and The PJs was the sh!t lol.

[B-Boy]

I remember thinking Toni Tony Tone has a new song out. Once I saw the video, it turned out to be the lead singer. The video was strange. Overall, I like it.

[TGAC]

Excellent song.

[Sounds from the Other Side]

I love this song. So addictive.

Great song. According to R&R this got airplay in LA on Power 106, The Beat and KJLH back in 1999. This needs to be on Apple Music pronto.

I like this.  One of the best R&B tracks of the late 1990s.
