Thanks for clicking on my New Jack Swing guide. I absolutely love NJ Swing music as I grew up listening to it and it holds a very special place in my heart. And now, Rockstar Games has done a great thing for New Jack Swing lovers of the old school and have incorporated NJS music into GTA: San Andreas! Check it out, there are 11 radio stations in the game and this guide will showcase all the HOT New Jack music for CSR 103.9. (Wait a minute, isn't 103.2 in the game?) Here you'll find the lyrics, complete playlist, artist info, and the full albums which the songs are all derived from. So what is Contemporary Soul Radio 103.9? This station consists of music tracks from R&B artists that blended soul with a little bit of rap to create a "genre" (now long gone) known as New Jack Swing. If you love this kind of music then this station is for you! ENOUGH TALK, LET'S PAR-TAY!!! ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ SWV - I'M SO INTO YOU +++ ALBUM: IT'S ABOUT TIME YEAR OF RELEASE: 1992 This hit album includes the hot tracks "Downtown", "Weak", and "Right Here". "Right Here" was later remixed to include a Michael Jackson sample of the song "Human Nature" (and was renamed "Right Here - Human Nature") and made the top 20 of the Billboard charts. Unfortunately, this album has not been remastered, so the only way to get SWV's hits in high quality is to get their greatest hits package ++LYRICS: Boy, there you go You're telling me that you love me But boy you know That you belong to another girl who loves you You are so fine, (so fine, so fine) You blow my mind (Things you do) with the things you do to me (She sees) She's not blind, she's not blind Things you do for me, but I know CHORUS: I'm so into you I don't know what I'm gonna do Boy, you got me so confused I don't know what I'm gonna do Friends ask how could I give myself To one who belongs to someone else They just don't know Your love's so good That they would want it for themselves Anyone can see... You are so fine, (so fine, so fine) You blow my mind (Things you do) with the things you do to me (She sees) She's not blind, she's not blind Things you do for me, but I know [CHORUS 2x] ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ SOUL II SOUL - KEEP ON MOVIN' +++ ALBUM: SOUL II SOUL YEAR OF RELEASE: 1989 This album spawned 2 hit singles including the song "Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)" which led the movement for mainstream dance and house music in the early 90's. ++LYRICS: Keep on moving Don't stop like the hands of time Click clock Find your own way to stay The time will come one day Why do people choose to live their live this way? Keep on moving Don't stop no Keep on moving Keep on moving Keep on moving Don't stop no Keep on moving It's our time Time today The right time is here to stay Stay in my life My life always Yellow is the color of sunrays I hide myself from no one I know the time will surely come when You'll be in my life My life My life always Yellow is the color of sunrays Keep on moving Don't stop like the hands of time Click clock Find your own way to stay The time will come one day Keep on moving Don't stop no Keep on moving I know the time Time today Walking alone in my own way Extremely cold and rainy day Friends and I have fun along the way Yes we do! I hide myself from no one I know the time will really come when You'll be in my life My life always Yellow is the color of sunrays Keep on moving Don't stop like the hands of time Keep on moving Don't stop no Keep on moving ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ SAMUELLE - SO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE +++ ALBUM: LIVING IN BLACK PARADISE YEAR OF RELEASE: 1991 Samuelle was a former member of the hit group Club Noveau (their biggest hit was "Lean On Me"). In 1991, Samuelle, released his (only) hit single "So You Like What You See" and the song reached #1 on the R&B Billboard Charts for two weeks. ++LYRICS: Get with the program! Get with the program! Get with the program! Everyday now I can feel you watching me from afar And you been leavin' those love letters on my car (everyday) So now I wonder - why you're so into me in such a way That you've got to take your spare time to chase after me (Punishing) CHORUS: So you like what you see? You better put a hold on me So you like what you see? You better put a hold on me The problem, baby I'm not used to girls to shy (talk to me) Now I'm impressed by sweet young ladies on a mission To please their guy So why, young lady, fall short of getting me? About awhile Now it's time you get with the program and learn to leave Forcefully CHORUS 2X INTERMISSION CHORUS UNTIL FADE ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ EN VOGUE - MY LOVIN' (NEVER GONNA GET IT) +++ ALBUM: FUNKY DIVAS YEAR OF RELEASE: 1992 This is the album that broke En Vogue of the typical R&B group mold and made them into huge influential superstars. Other tracks include "Free Your Mind" and "Giving Him Something He Can Feel". IMO, their hit single from their first album "Hold On" has a more New Jack sound than "My Lovin'", wouldn't you agree? ++LYRICS: No, you're never gonna get it (Ow!) Never ever gonna get it (No, not this time) No, you're never gonna get it (My love) Never ever gonna get it No, you're never gonna get it (Ow!) Never ever gonna get it (No, not this time) No, you're never gonna get it (My love) Never ever gonna get it I remember how it used to be You never was this nice, you can't fool me Now you talkin' like you made a change The more you talk, the more things sound the same What makes you think you can just walk back into her life Without a good fight? Oh... I just sit back and watch you make a fool of yourself Cuz you're just wasting your time, oh... CHORUS: No, you're never gonna get it (Not this time) Never ever gonna get it (My lovin') No, you're never gonna get it (Had your chance to make a change) Never ever gonna get it REPEAT CHORUS Now you promise me the moon and stars Save your breath, you won't get very far Gave you many chances to make change The only thing you changed was love to hate It doesn't matter what you do or what you say She doesn't love you, no way Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect So you won't be hearing her say, "No way" CHORUS Doesn't matter what you do or what you say She don't love you, no way Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect So you won't be hearing her say, "No way" [And now it's time for a breakdown...] Never gonna get it, never gonna get it Never gonna get it, never gonna get it Never gonna get it, never gonna get it Never gonna get it (whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa) Never gonna get it, never gonna get it Never gonna get it, never gonna get it Never gonna get it, never gonna get it Never gonna get it, never get it No, you're never gonna get it (Sweet lovin') Never ever gonna get it (Sweet lovin') No, you're never gonna get it (My lovin') Never ever gonna get it (My lovin') No, you're never gonna get it (Sweet lovin') Never ever gonna get it (My lovin') No, you're never gonna get it (Sweet lovin') Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')... ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ JOHNNY GILL - RUB YOU THE RIGHT WAY +++ ALBUM: JOHNNY GILL YEAR OF RELEASE: 1990 Before Johnny Gill joined New Edition, he had a semi-successful solo career with three previous R&B albums under his belt. After New Edition parted ways, Johnny released his fourth solo album (entitled "Johnny Gill", which was the same as his first album) which includes the aforementioned song and "My, My, My". ++LYRICS: What you've been missin' in a man I can survive, your wish is my command I'll work hard to fill up your needs Give you lesson on what it is to (Feel) Feel (Good) good, baby Get undressed and slip on this robe (Re-) Re- (lax) lax, darlin' Just sit back, Can you feel the magic in my hands When I touch and rub you the right way Stroke applied with tenderness When I hold and rub you the right way A light massage, a soft caress Whenever I need to rub, I run her happiness Customer satisfaction is a guarantee So for your pleasure, come on over here, please (You) hey So hold on and throw off that coat (Show) Show (You) I'll show you pleasure like you've never known Can you feel the magic in my hands When I touch and rub you the right way Stroke applied with tenderness When I hold and rub you the right way Feel the magic in my hands When I touch and rub you the right way Stroke applied with tenderness When I hold and rub you the right way Pump up the bass Hey Pump up the bass What-what-what What-what Hey Get ready (Feel good) (Re-) Re-, girl (lax) lax, yeah Oh...oh...oh...

They produced his solo debut which spawned three hits including the aforementioned track, "Stone Cold Gentleman", and "Do What I Gotta Do". ++LYRICS: Girl, I know it's been hard since he went away And left so sad you cry everyday Let me kiss your tears erase all your doubts Because for you I'm here, you won't be without love Don't need a man who can give you money C'mon let me show you just what you need honey (I got what you need) You need a man with sensitivity (a man like me) Someone who can love you Someone who will need you Someone who will treat you right (like me girl) Someone who will hold you tight Someone stable in your life (ah baby) You need a man with sensitivity A man like me (baby)(honey) Baby and I'm the man (ah you no, you no) Baby like I do baby (hang in their baby) You need a man with sensitivity A man like me See you need someone who's their like a gentleman If anybody can fit the description baby I can Someone who cares and dares to give himself completely You got it in me you need a man with sensitivity You need a man (3x's) Not any man Warm and sensitive that's what I can give Man with sensitivity A man like me Save a little love for me (sensitivity) Baby I got what you need (I got it) Hold on my darling Don't let me down ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ GUY - GROOVE ME +++ ALBUM: GUY YEAR OF RELEASE: 1988 Guy's first self-titled album went three times platinum in the late 80's and spawned a couple of hit tracks including the aforementioned track and "Piece Of My Love". ++LYRICS: Groove Me Baby!

In 1993, the album was re-packaged to include their second biggest hit to date, "End Of The Road". ++LYRICS: Motownphilly's back again Doin' a little east coast fling Boyz II Men going off Not too hard, not too soft It's long overdue but now Philly is slammin' Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD The east coast family Never skipped a beat, na While cooling on South Street Jet black Benz, plenty of friends And all the Philly steaks you could eat Back in school we used to dream about this everyday Could it really happen?

The title track went straight to #1 and was one of the first songs that brought New Jack Swing to the mainstream. The album also spawned four more hits and has been certified 5x platinum. ++LYRICS: Girl I must warn you I sense something strange in my mind Situation is serious Let's cure it 'cause we're running out of time It's oh, so beautiful Relationships they seem from the start It's all so deadly When love is not together from the heart It's drivin' me out of my mind That's why it's hard for me to find Can't get it out of my head Miss her, kiss her, love her (Wrong move you're dead) That girl is poison Never trust a big butt and smile That girl is poison If I were you I'd take precaution Before I start to meet fly girl, you know 'Cause in some portions You'll think she's the best thing in the world She's so fly She'll drive you right out of your mind Steal your heart when you're blind Beware she's schemin', she'll make you think you're dreamin' You'll fall in love and you'll be screamin' demon, hoo Poison, deadly, movin' it slow Lookin' for a mellow fellow like DeVoe Gettin' paid, laid, so better lay low Schemin' on house, money, and the whole show The low pro ho' she'll be cut like an afro See what you're sayin', huh, she's weighin' on you But I know she's a loser (How do you know) Me and the crew used to do her Poison-poison-poison-poison Poison-poison-poison-poison (Poison) Poison-poison-poison-poison Poison-poison-poison-poison Poison I was at the bar, shake, breakin' and takin' 'em all And that night I played the wall Checkin' out the fellas, the highs and lows Keepin' one eye open, still clockin' the ho's There was one particular girl that stood out from the rest Poison as can be, the high power chest Michael Bivens here and I'm runnin' the show Bell Biv DeVoe (ha ha ha) Now you know Yo', Slick, blow It's drivin' me out of my mind That's why it's hard for me to find Can't get it out of my head Miss her, kiss her, love her (Wrong move you're dead) That girl is poison Never trust a big butt and smile Poison She's dangerous Poison (Oh yeah, oh, yeah) Poison Yo' fellas, that was my end of You know what I'm sayin', Mike Yeah, B.B.D. in full effect Yo', what's up to Ralph T and Johnny G And I can't forget about my boy, B.

By the time the group released their second album, the group started to dissolve and then later broke up in 1992. +++NO LYRICS! If anyone is willing to get lyrics for this song, please e-mail me and I will post it here with credit to you! ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ WRECKX-N-EFFECT - NEW JACK SWING +++ ALBUM: WRECKS-N-EFFECT YEAR OF RELEASE: 1988 Also produced by Teddy Riley (whose older brother was a member of the band), the group was originally a 4-man group. After a couple of minor hit tracks on their debut album, the band would soon release their second album in 1992, which included the hit "Rump Shaker". ++LYRICS: Yo Wreckx N Effect! In full effect! (Burn it up!) It's the New Jack Swing Was it something wrong that she can clean All you gotta do is c'mon and sing Word for word, all the lyrics that I bring And if you feel the swing in your body When you step in cool inside a party Watching all the girls just bumping like hotties They have humps that's better than Ferrari's So I gotta try these Dancing with a girl on my lap I was chancing, hoping she was the type for romancing But my rap needed a little enhancing Because this girl needed some answering Nothing I said, I started to complain and turning red Then I told her just to be about Ted She gave a wink But can't believe a thing about the New Jack Swing Can't believe a thing about the New Jack Swing 1-2-3 I named it New Jack Swing Yes, T.R. is my name Making you girls do my thing It's the way I entertain baby I'm on the beat you like Yes, that's right Its outta sight All the bumps are very high Yes, T.R. is grooving it right I got Keith Sweat, Heavy D, Today, Mo Dee, B. Sure and my man Bobby Brown I got Cinnamon, Redhead, Boy George, James, DEJA and my homeboys Guy Can't believe a thing about the New Jack Swing (Burn it up!) Back to the matter The New Jack Swing It's the sound that can flatter Even if the sound around town doesn't give a Same type of feeling that this one delivers So your body shivers So bad, so dope big metal thing you wish you had Bumping your feeling from glad to sad But you're not getting offensive Just chill and get whipped by the New Jack Swing Can't believe a thing about the New Jack Swing ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ BOBBY BROWN - DON'T BE CRUEL +++ ALBUM: DON'T BE CRUEL YEAR OF RELEASE: 1989 After Bobby parted ways with New Edition, he hooked up with two unknown producers, Teddy Riley and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and they produced what would be one of the most influential early New Jack Swing albums of the late 80's. The album spawned five hit singles including "My Prerogative", "Roni", "Rock Wit'Cha", and "Every Little Step". ++LYRICS: Girl, the only thing that matters in my life Is that I'm down for you and treat you right You've got no cause to treat me cold as ice Ohh girl As long as I been givin' my love to you You should be givin' me your love, too But you just keep on actin' just like a fool You know it ain't cool CHORUS: Don't be cruel 'Cause I would never be that cruel to you Uh no, oh oh, no Don't be cruel Uh girl, you need to change your attitude Uh no, oh Don't be cruel Hey yo' Kimmy what's up with this attitude I thought I was bein' real good to you I treat you sweet, take you out at night But you never say thanks girl that ain't right I bought you diamonds even gave you pearls I took you for a cruise all around the world I treat you high post but you play me close And if I brought a drink up you won't even toast Girl, I work so hard for you from 9 to 5 So you could have the finer things in life Since you're the kind that's never satisfied Ohh girl As long as I been givin' my heart to you You should be givin' me your heart, too But you just keep on actin' just like a fool You know it ain't cool (CHORUS) From fancy cars to diamond rings I've just about given you everything There's really not much I won't do for you I bought you 12 yellow roses and candy, too I like be up front and never play the back But the way you treat me girl is like a heart attack I'm real troop trooper aiming for the top. I want you by my side diggin' dollars outta crock Ohh girl As long as I been givin' my love to you You should be givin' me your love, too But you just keep on actin' just like a fool You know it ain't cool It just ain't cool! Ow! Don't be cruel... Uh, uh, uh Uh, uh, uh... We used to hang out tough just kickin' around We discovered a love that had never been found You gave me your heart I gave you my mind But a true love affair we could never find Although I want you bad I could let you go 'Cause there's a lot of girls out there that won't say no Know to the fact that I want you, Jackie I want you more than human eyes can see But you had to start illin', tryin' to make a killin' Thought about the dollars I make and you were willin' To be with me Bobby B., but with a bad attitude I can't compete Now you know my name, now I know your game You want to be with me you got to be the same way That another girl would be and if you wanna be with me (CHORUS 2X) ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= Did you notice that all members of New Edition each have a song in the game? Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill and Bell Biv Devoe together in one package! ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= +++ MY KINDA MUSIC: SMOOTH AND SOULFUL +++ There were very few quintessential artists/groups that harbored the New Jack Swing sound and did it right. I'll list some of my personal favorites and hope you'll understand my frustration since they were blatantly left out of the game. --COLOR ME BADD Sure, VH-1 mocks this band and their sound but back in 1991 they were the second biggest group in the world (behind Boyz II Men). And anyone who remembers the early 90's can remember how huge their popularity grew after songs like "I Wanna Sex U Up", "All 4 Love", "I Adore Mi Amor" and "Thinking Back" were released (I sure do). Also, don't forget their hit ballad "Forever Love"! --BABYFACE I'm disappointed that none of Babyface's music from his "Tender Lover" album was included here. Besides Teddy Riley, Babyface was the essential producer and innovator in the New Jack swing movement in the early 90's. Songs like "It's No Crime", "Whip Appeal", and "Soon As I Get Home" is the reason why Babyface's "Tender Lover" is so essential to New Jack Swing. --JODECI I'm also very disappointed that no tracks from this group were included in the game. The 1991 album "Forever My Lady" by JODECI was one of THE essential 90's R&B/New Jack albums and is 100x better than Boyz II Men's "CooleyHighHarmoney" album (which was chosen for this game!). I suggest giving "Forever My Lady" a listen. The music on this CD showcases the New Jack soul of JODECI that many other groups have tried to replicate but could NEVER duplicate. JODECI's music was so fresh when it came out and 13 years later, is still the best out there. No R&B group today can outmatch the soul that JODECI possessed. Shame on Rockstar Games for ignoring this band! --TONY! TONI! TONE! This band had a lot of cool New Jack Swing hits in the late 80's and early 90's. Tracks like "Feels Good", "It Never Rains In Southern California" and "Not Gonna Cry For You" are unforgettable NJS classics that you MUST listen to! No NJS collection is complete without their first two albums! --KEITH SWEAT Labeled as the innovator of "New Jack Romance", his undeniable voice is indistinguishable from all the other artists out there today. He possessed a smooth sound that no other artist could replicate and IMO is still the best out there. Give his albums "Make It Last Forever", "I'll Give All My Loving To You" and "Keep It Comin'" a listen and you'll understand the "Romance" side of New Jack. --R. KELLY & PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT Yes, before R. Kelly was known as the "Homie-Lover-Friend", he was in a New Jack Swing group! Their debut album, released in 1992, entitled "Born Into The 90's" was Kelly's first and only New Jack album that spawned three hit singles: "She's Got That Vibe", "Honey Love", and "Slow Dance". If you can find this album, pick it up! It's a rare one! --JADE Jade had three big hits in 1992: "Don't Walk Away", "One Woman" and "I Wanna Love You" from their debut album "Jade To The Max". With these three hit tracks, these ladies brought the New Jack sound into mainstream pop and it ruled most of 1992. You could not escape their sound and it was just infectious. Give their hard-to-find album "Jade To The Max" a listen and I guarantee you'll like what you hear. --ZHANE Zhane ruled the airwaves in 1993 (together with En Vogue) with four big hits: "Hey Mr. DJ", "Groove Thang", "You're Sorry Now" and "Sending My Love". Technically, this group isn't New Jack Swing but you can definitely hear the NJS influence in their music. Their music can still be heard on flashback stations and is still great to listen to. Give their debut album "Pronounced Jah-Nay" a listen. This is a CD that you'll end up buying and wearing out at a party. --LISA STANSFIELD Lisa Stansfield isn't a New Jack Swing artist but her music had soul. Her debut album "Affection" had five mega-huge hits in 1990: "This Is The Right Time", "Live Together", "You Can't Deny It", "What Did I Do To You?" and her biggest hit "All Around The World". With a 70's soul influence in her music, it's quite odd that her ultra cool style of music wasn't included in the game. Since Rockstar Games had the nerve to include non-NJS artists like Soul II Soul and Aaron Hall, I might as well include an artist of my own who had more soul in her voice than Britney, Christina, and Jessica combined. Give Lisa's remastered debut album a listen and I guarantee you will like it. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= I am very saddened that the New Jack swing sound died down in the mid- 90's. All the R&B music today CANNOT compare to the sound of New Jack. I just wish this type music were still being made today. In fact I'm getting emotional just typing this so I'll stop here. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= Two songs were omitted from the GTA: San Andreas official 8-CD soundtrack: --Johnny Gill - Rub You The Right Way --Soul II Soul - Keep On Moving ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= ======================================================================= This FAQ is only for use on GameFAQS.
