This is how we do it.

Yes it is Anita. You don't even know...

Now if you visit this blog often, you know that old school jams are more often than not posted under the "Old School Funk for the True Funk Soldiers" headline. But sometimes old school joints are so good, so well put together, so classic to a brotha, [see Montell Jordan's This is how we do it] that all I can do is marvel at their goodness as they boldly play on and show us how's it done. This jam, presented below, is one such example.


So after an exciting night and early morning partying under the stairs in Downtown L.A., I got my ass up and put in some time at the Restaurant.

At Benice we got ourselves a nice radio whose sole purpose is to lightly play 94.7 The Wave underneath everyone's meals and conversations. So yes, there are plenty of times where it's like I am in that scene from the 40 Year Old Virgin where Paul Rudd bitches and moans about having to hear Michael McDonald in the workplace again. [He's big pimpin over at 94.7]

But every now and then they play you some John Legend, some India Arie, some Hall & Oates, or some old school R&B that you know, but you don't know. Case in point, this track presented below. I may not know all the words, but I couldn't help but sing along with the line "from beginning to end/three hundred sixty-five days of the year/It's the same ole love..." as I applied some butter to some customer's whole wheat toast.
