Aaron Hall

Like, I was, like, emulating all the, the guy type of stuff.

Aaron Hall, so I was trying to sound like Aaron Hall and all that, "Bye, bye," all that real nasally stuff.

Yeah.

So even-

Like, I was like emulating all the, the guy type of stuff.

Aaron Hall, so I was trying to sound like Aaron Hall and all that, "Bye, bye," all that real nasally stuff.

Yeah, yeah.

So even when you listen to, to like a, a big record like This Is How We Do It, people joke with that, you know, like, "This is how..." Like, it, because it has the-

Thank you guys.

And so a lot of people in the industry, Aaron Hall, yeah, these guys on the run because it was a free for all of debauchery.

Right.

And I'm just speaking freely and honest of what you could do and what you couldn't do.

Um, but, uh, they're supposed to get back their feedback by Friday this week, and then, uh, he plans on turning it over to his editor in October.

So Aaron Hall, I actually just really enjoy his social media and-

[laughs]

... and he's interactive with his fans.

And so they wanted me to document street life in Los Angeles by singing it.

And so I used to, when I was trying to find my voice, guys, like, "Who does Mont- who is Montell Jordan? Who do I sound like?" You know, at one point it was, "You sound like Aaron Hall from the group Guy," or, "You sound like this guy, R.

Kelly," or, "You sound like this," "You sound like that." And so in order to carve out my own special space, I started writing rap lyrics, and then I would sing the rap lyrics.

So literally, when you hear This Is How We Do It, and I say, "I reach for my 40 and I turn it up.

I mean, because the world is so pumped up for R. Kelly.

Aaron Hall is getting a lot of plays on social media right now because we want R. Kelly back so bad, right?

Man, shit would have been bananas, dog.

If he would have slipped that one in and had Bump J and Crucial Conflict, he would have essentially had the whole Chicago represented from start to finish on hip-hop.

But yeah, GeoTrack, that's a good call, man.

And Aaron Hall on Curiosity with Redman.

I do remember that joint.

It's the Curiosity.

Now, the original Just Got Paid was recorded by Johnny Kemp and released in 1988 from his album, Secrets of Flying, produced by Teddy Riley.

Now, the song written by Kemp, Riley, Aaron Hall, and Gene Griffin.

Here's something that's important.

If you have listened to any of my episodes talking about Janet Jackson, Jammin' Lewis, you know the importance of New Jack Swing.
