If we sacrifice Oliver Stone to a volcano can we get Angie Stone back?

The Sequence - Simon Says
(From Sugar Hill Presents The Sequence album; 1981)


R.I.P to Rap's soul sista number one Angie Stone, the O.G Queen of Hip-Hop Soul before Mary J. Blige. Real headz know that Simon Says is as good as Funk You Up and one of the last great Disco-Rap era choonz full stop. That shit thumps so doggone hard they had to call the national guard. But it's important to remember that Angie kilt shit like kitty litter in multiple decades.

Vertical Hold - Seems You're Much Too Busy
(From A Matter Of Time album; 1993)


As for Wish I Didn't Miss You, it's one of the greatest late-career singles of all time in any genre innit. Me, I consider it an even better song than Back Stabbers and plz believe that is not a slight to Back Stabbers. I just hope Ezale cut Miss Stone a cheque for that shit when him & HawkBeatz flipped it on Ironic.
