SOUL KITCHEN WITH DRU HILL LIVE: TORONTO - APRIL 16TH 2010

On April 16th, 2010, the Soul Kitchen played host to Dru Hill inside the Home Theatre.

Sisqo, Nokio, and new member Tao, short Jazz who was held home by a personal tragedy, knocked out hits "Tell Me", the So So Def produced remix of  "In My Bed", a rocked out version of "How Deep is Your Love", and walked it out to "Beauty"...  

Recognizing Toronto as true music lovers, they did their own tributes to their favorites - Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean", Jodeci's "Forever My Lady", and Mint Condition's "Pretty Brown Eyes".

Due to the absence of Jazz, Sisqo treated the crowd to a Toronto favorite, "Incomplete", before launching into "Thong Song"... before doing a little inpromtu interview with yours truly.

The group still has IT. Watching them backstage, stretching, practicing - and even Sisqo skipping dinner to ensure that his dance steps were tight, reminds me how few true ARTISTS there are left in 2010 who truly love and respect the music, and the culture...  

Enjoy.

TONIGHT: DRU HILL INSIDE THE KITCHEN. LET ME SEE THAT...

Although not a Dru Hill song, what Dru Hill anthology would be complete without Sisqo the Dragon's THONG SONG...

From the Nutty Professor 2 (The Klumps) Soundtrack, the song was a HUGE summer banger in 2000 with a video shot by our own Lil x...

In My Bed So So Def Remix (Bratta tat tat)...

For each hit, there was an equally sick remix... Here's another one.

Sisqo & Dru Hill will be in the house in 3 days ~ without him, the group would be INCOMPLETE

When the background singers come in (2:47), it's a WRAP.

I seldom get excited, but I'm starting to...

Song writing in our era at it's best.

Even though it seems I have everything.
I don't wanna be a lonely fool.
All of the women, all the expensive cars, all of the money don't amount to you.
I can make believe I have everything, but I can't pretend that I don't see.
That without you girl my life is incomplete.

p.p.s.  Peep song writing.

Bright Lights, Fancy Restaurants
Everything in this world that a man could want.
I got a bank account bigger than the law should allow
Still I'm lonely now
Pretty Faces from the covers of a magazine
From their covers to my covers wanna lay with me.
Fame and Fortune still can't find, just a grown man runnin' out of time

Chorus:
Though it seems I have everything
I dont wanna be a lonely fool
All of the women, all the expensive cars, all the money don't amount to you.
So I can make believe I have everything, but I can't pretend that I don't see.
That without you girl my life is incomplete.

Verse 2:
Listen.
Your perfume, your sexy lingerie.
Girl I remember it just like it was on yesterday.
A Thursday you told me you had fallen in love, I wasn't sure that I was.
it's been a year-Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall.
But being without you just aint livin' aint livin'at all
If I could travel back in time, I'd relive the days you were mine.

Chorus:
Even though it seems I have everything
I don't wanna be a lonely fool.
All of the women, all the expensive cars, all of the money don't amount to you.
I can make believe I have everything,but I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete.

Verse 3:
I just can't help lovin' you
But I loved you much too late.
I'd give anything and everything to hear you say, that you'll stay

Chorus:
Even though it seems I have everything.
I don't wanna be a lonely fool.
All of the women, all of the expensive cars, all of the money don't amount to you.
(you can have it all) I can make believe I have everything, but I can't pretend that I don't see. (Just give me my
baby)

That without you girl my life is incomplete.
