Raphael Saadiq is pretty much the epitome of what we stand for @ TSS.
The man is a musical encyclopedia, who dabbles in Hip-Hop, Rap and specializes in R&B. While he hasn’t gotten the complete shine he deserves, the brain behind Tony! Toni! Toné! has helped enhance the careers of some of the most talented artists in the industry. Plus, if you watch this new video interview he did with Fader – where he gives insight into his recording process, work ethic and his idols – you’ll see he’s a real cool cat to boot.
Raphael’s new album, The Way I See It, drops tomorrow and features Stevie Wonder, Hova and Joss Stone.
Go show some love to a legend and cop.

Saadiq got talent, I just can’t blindly cosign his work tho, that dude can be out there
This drops tomorrow right?… I d’loaded it yesterday. Its a must have. Dude is the only person that could make an album that sounds like it should’ve been out 40-50 years ago, and do it well.

“Raphael Saadiq’s a musical jeanyesss”
wannabe throwback bullshit. there are no gamble & huffs, thom bells, freddie perrens, norman harrises, hugo & luigis etc… artists need to cut that shit out.
This guy is a legend… Great Live Performer. Voodoo (D’Angelo) wouldn’t have been what it was with out him. A great asset to soul music. My mom said his mimicry of the throwback sound is authentic. He is gonna be in the history books one day.
Also, he will be in Nashville in a few weeks. If ur in the area, don’t miss it, become a believer.
hate if you must. albums real good

R.Saadiq for whatever reason has not been given
his due props. Soulful, genuine, genre-bending,
producer, song-writer and performer. The dude
is a genius behind the boards and in front of a crowd.
@ Thug…: blindly co-sign?
Can’t be serious.

in regards to one of my future baby mommas a/k/a Keri Hilson:

Royce Da 5?9 & Green Lantern – Bar Exam 2 (Mixtape)
Can someone up the Lucy Pearl album if they got it. I think I used to enjoy R.S. on that shit
It’s okay. That’s Hater Chris. Whatup Chris!
RS doesn’t get as much props as he should for being one of those cats who usually breaks new ground each time out & being an inspiration (acknowledged by others or not). His solo albums have always been pretty solid. “Rifle Love” “Still A Man” & several others always occupy spots in my various r+b playlists.
“Rifle Love”…. that joint topped that album off for me.
Estelle’s Teef is bout to morph into Keri’s Corns
