hah but you have to give it to the hip-hop heads, because before they came along and revamped the 808, 909 sounds (barring the kick), it had a stigma of being associated with cheesy 80s pop lolAhh man, 808 drums are so underrated in slow jamz!
I don't think the typical infant that's into "crunk music" and 808 drums even realize that Marvin Gaye - Sexual healing has 808 drums in it. ;D
but that Intro track was the perfect example of the transitional phase between new-jack before it and the stereotypical r&b that came along later in the 90s.

and speaking of Marvin and 808s:
in the most unlikely situation.
genius.
