^ I've been searching for this song for the longest (didn't know the title was "Krazy" and not "You're Makin' Me Crazy" lol) and finally found it again this week. I haven't heard this since kindergarten, but I still remember the chorus. :lol:

^ I just came across "Process of Elimination" not too long ago! :lol: Great vids everyone! ^_^

Can someone educate me on this whole old jack swing, new jack swing, gogo music etc. I just don't get it lol

I'll try. :lol: New Jack Swing was a hybrid style of r&b, hip-hop, pop-dance, and a hint of jazz (mainly through sampling) popular during the late 1980s/early 1990s. It was invented by Teddy Riley and influenced by the Minneapolis Funk sound.
