prince cover good too
I should also mention - Beyonce ripped off TLC's version of If I Was Your Girlfriend in the Jay-z song '03 Bonnie and Clyde. I'm aware it's a Prince song, but she sings it as if she's directly sampled the TLC recording!
N.B. I have nothing against Beyonce, and I love Jay-z - I just found that a little strange when I first heard B&C.
I loved Switch because I adore Left Eye's rap, with SWTWC & IIWYG as a close second and third.

If I Was Your Girlfriend doesn't do it for me unless Prince is singing it to me

It's probably not the best, but I'm gonna show "Let's Take Our Time" some love. That little wheedly synth sound throughout is A+.

Something that's occurred to me.... I distinctly remember "Kick Your Game" getting lots of radio play late in the album's promotion and maybe "Case of the Fake People" did too, but I can't seem to find any evidence of them being pushed, is this just me?

Don't go making phony calls Please stick to the seven digit numbers you're used to I know that you think its funny driving folks right up the wall But its really getting old fast

oh fuck
― gabbneb, Thursday, 18 October 2007 22:14 (sixteen years ago) link
the Prince cover is horrible
the answer is Red Light Special but Creep and Diggin on You are amazing in their own right

How great is the drum programming on "Waterfalls"? There's that mid-pitched drum that kinda rattles in place and old that dusty-ass sampled drumroll

this has always been "Red LIght Special" for me but "Diggin' on You" is all sorts of warm feelings too
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Friday, 11 May 2018 11:57 (five years ago) link
The single/video version of 'Diggin' on You' was the better one.

"Red Light Special" sounds so sad to me.

This album is the best album.
I kinda understand why it got no votes (hard to go past the singles) but "Kick Your Game" and "Case of the Fake People" and "Let's Do It Again" each deserved some love.
― Tim F, Monday, 14 May 2018 12:51 (five years ago) link
case of the fake people is one of my fav productions of the era

album is obviously alltime.
Aww, I am so happy to see I started this thread! It seems I didn’t notice that on last revive. Switch still robbed though. I’ve never heard the bside Austin, thank you! It is a little off but I might be too close to the albums to absorb anything “new”..
