angie stone started her music career as the lead rapper for the sequence, the old school female hip-hop crew behind the hit “funk you up.” she went on to help write d’angelo’s first two albums (she even had a son with him). she sings the theme song to the upn (soon to be cw) hit show girlfriends and plays saxophone and keyboards. so it’s pretty safe to say that she’s a super cool lady. in fact, the only really lame thing about her is that she was on celebrity fit club. oh well — nobody’s perfect.
listen:
angie stone’s “lovers ghetto” is a lovely, lovely song built on a sample from dynasty’s “adventures in the land of music” — the same sample that was used on camp lo’s “luchini (this is it).”
also, check out the sequence’s “funk you up”

it is very difficult for me to listen to her song without anticipating the phrase “luchini fallin from the sky”.
The Dynasty song is wonderful. I hadn’t ever heard it before although I have always loved the Camp-Lo version.
You should post the “Girlfriends” song too!
The sultriness of the “Girlfriends” song really captures the incredible bonds of women’s friendships, the highs and lows, the challenges and triumphs, the thick and thin.
