Damn... Anita Baker knows how to ride a beat

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Anita is who Toni Braxton pretended to be

Tried to Desiigner the queen's whole style

Beat me to it.
Love Should Have Brought You Home was Anitas song. But she heard Toni on the reference track and said let her have that.
Toni owes her career to her.

She's been officially sample 137x Search Results for "anita baker" | WhoSampled

Samples of her tracks are usually good.

I associate her with 1980s middle class black folks succeeding.

This.
Grew up in the late 80s ohtside Chicago in the west burbs....my folks would play Anita consistently along with Luther, Will Downing, Jeffrey Osborne and Alexander O Neal. All they friends n coworkers had the same soundtrac. Makes me think of blac ppl stepping up tha ladder fo sho

I think Anita is Michael Jordan's favorite singer too

You know if she can ride the beat like that, she can deff ride that thing with ease


One wish in life was that she was 20 years younger. Love this beautiful woman

These days all we have is Beyoncé singing like a loud ass shrieking hyena over every song, in her onesie and butt padded diaper, with the same played out dances.

 

[Nicole0416_718_929_646212]

Remember when Beyoncé got that blonde mop of hers caught in a stage fan
If only it was a ceiling fan

the decade of the real songstresses like AB were great though even though I’m not the biggest slow music fan; I remember a few gems that my parents would play.

This song is so powerful - it made me tear up and I don’t like being in my feelings. Beautiful voice of hers and tone. Told my son that my contact lens was irritating my eyes- mommy is not crying ..

What happened to artist like this, it seems like cacs killed this type of music

The song writing is an underrated aspect of these old school rnb singers. Nowadays, mainstream 'rnb' song lyrics sound like loosely collected texts/tweets by a 16 yr old.
