I woke up remembering this beat and couldn't get it out of my head. It reminded of when my parents used to listen to Kiss FM on the radio in the car (NY station). I've been doing internet research to remember who sang the song, so here I am 😅.
A lot of people don't realize Chuckii Booker is one the greatest to do this ...he's a triple threat...can sing, can write, and can produce... he's written and produced...with all the greats...from Janet Jackson to Lionel Ritchie...he's written hits and played for everyone in the industry....one of my favorites and I'm still jamming in 2024....and sipping to one of the greats Chuckii Boooker
The 90s was the best decade ever graced with closing the 20th century and like Frank Sinatra, they did it their way; although what I just said is ironic given that Frank Sinatra died in the 90s.
Naw, 90's is the beginning of the end for good music. Snoop Dogg and Dre had some great ideas but suddenly the killings and gross thug gangsta culture came with them. Nothing in the 90's compares to Earth Wind and Fire or the SOS BAND or even Bobby Brown's Tender-Roni. Sad, really. 90's only feel was, "duck! "
@@del7i540 that's also a good way to describe it. The gangster rap was absolutely disgusting I despise it and can't stand Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre because of it.
Damn, the Legend himself Chucki Booker! Man, I love this song! Life was so simple back then! How I wish I could go back in a Time Machine!! Phenomenal stuff!
I was born in 1994 and I love music from the entire 20th century from the 1900s to the 1990s. When it comes to music, I live by the saying, "Variety is the spice of life." I don't have anything against today's music. I mean, I like Bruno Mars and Imagine Dragons. However, I will be honest about one thing. While I like hip hop and rap as much as the next person, I despise music that involves twerking or anything related to such dancing, such as this song for example. ruclips.net/video/-I-YY5p0uq8/видео.html
A classic banger....Games was his number 1 hit on the Billboard 100 back in 1992 and of course thanks to his Godfather, Barry White for signing him! it's 2024 and this song is still on fire!
Bro I remember exactly how I fell in love with this song. 2008 I went to basic training for the army. We couldn't listen to music or anything. We were driven out to the firing range and thank God the driver decided to play the radio. This started playing and my moral went up a bit. To keep me going in such a hard part of my story. I love this song
Yeah those bus rides were our only times to relax and reflect. I could only imagine this classic song playing while riding. I was basic 2010. I'll never forget hearing Lil Wayne and Gucci steady mobbing . That lifted us up😭😭
This always takes me back. I was a jit and my family was stationed in Berlin, Germany. That was our last summer at Berlin-American HS before most of us moved back to the States. Listening to this at AFN Radio "with your favorite DJ Walt Baby Love".
FUN FACT: At 2:55 you can hear a sample of Janet Jackson’s voice screaming, “CHUCKII!”. Chuckii was Janet’s opening act/music director of her 1990 Rhythm Nation tour.
I was 6 when this song came out. My mom would play this on the weekends while we were all cleaning 😂🤣 I remember every word!! The good days, 90's had the best music PERIOD.
I am not sure about anyone else but i believe the 90's had the best sound. The proof is in this song, Chuckii was singing about his woman and the game she tried to run on him. Most importantly was how the instruments were orchestrated to fit the jazzy elements of the time.
Do I what ? Love this New Jack beat ? Yes. I was introduced to music in the late 70's early 80's when I was growing up , Marvin Gaye , Earth wind and fire , Al Green and Kool and the gang .
Good music is now on youtube...Hallelujah! I spend so much time going through all the old stuff, that I really don't get time to listen to the new stuff. The music live on. Thanks RUclips
These new 'r & b' artists don't even sing anymore nowadays. They do this mush mouth mumble stuff. R & b and hip hop started to be fused around the early 90's when Diddy restyled Jodeci. Then R. Kelly jumped on that sh*t and around the late 90's it was a wrap. Now these new dudes can't even harmonize and the lyrics are as vulgar as any hip hop joint.
Listen to any of the following artists and tell me they are whack Jarrod Lawson, Anderson .Paak, Hiatus Kaiyote , Personal Life, Katie Leone, Dira, Princess Freesia, Beauty Room, Jazzanova, Incognito, Omar, Maxwell, Ed Motta, Junior Boys, Little Dragon, Soulive, Jessie Lanza. Loads more if you need them.
2021 and STILL DOPE!!! Reminds me of summer of 1993 at night driving with this bumping on my car system.. Peep the hoop earring in each ear..MEMORIES..
I know Chuckii was a bomb ass producer, and even performer. I'm hearing Mark Morrison Return of the Mack, and Minds Playing Tricks on Me, Geto Boys. Games is gold!
kidsix1 If you wait long enough, you can take a hit and recycle the music to another generation who will jam on it. Take the group America's song, "Ventura Highway." That was a hit in 1973. Now go listen to Janet Jackson's, "Someone to Call My Lover." Big hit for her in 2001, big hit for the group America in 1973. I have an extensive music collection and I listen to darn near every kind of music made so I can immediately hear a song being sampled or copied. But then I DJ'ed for 13 years so... :D
I was today years old (4.1.21) when I learned it was Janet Jackson saying "Chukii Chukii." It came from her Rhythm Nation tour when he was her musical director. 2:55-3:10 "Chukki..." "Yeah..." "Give me beat."
@ms red832. Hayle Yeah! ---> This tune has me wondering/contemplating if I should get into DJ'ing around the DMV? (Specializing in late 1980's thru mid-1990's R&B, New Jack Swing, Funk, & Uncle Chuck)...
This type of music needs to come back. Who's here in 2024?!
I woke up remembering this beat and couldn't get it out of my head. It reminded of when my parents used to listen to Kiss FM on the radio in the car (NY station). I've been doing internet research to remember who sang the song, so here I am 😅.
This type of music is not dead; it just isn't acknowledged in this day and age.
Too bad but it's good to still be able to listen to these songs. Thanks to all the real talent in the 90s.

ME: 2024.... Yes, it needs to come back ASAP!!

💯💪😎
… and he plays ALL of the instruments on his 2 albums. Super talented beyond the stars.
He was also Janet Jackson’s musical director for her amazing Rhythm Nation tour.
What a great talent he is!
Commissioned as well.
I put Kashif in the same category as Chuckie Booker. Awesome music.
Who’s still listening to this wonderful hit?
I AM!!!!!!!!! I loved it then and I love it now!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This 90s rnb is
somehing special
Yep!
This is one of those that I'll always listen to.
Bro has written and produced for so many big name artists and doesn’t get his flowers. Much respect to the living legend Chuckii Booker
*The 90's wasn't a decade it was*
*an emotion*
Hell yeah you said it PERFECTLY
The 90s was the best decade ever graced with closing the 20th century and like Frank Sinatra, they did it their way; although what I just said is ironic given that Frank Sinatra died in the 90s.

A lot of people do not know that Chuckii played ALL of the instruments on this song and on his albums. Dude is an amazing musician.
I am so missing this era. I just saw an interview with him and ClariT Conversations. He is amazing!
He was musical director on Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation tour which is STILL the highest debut tour in history.
Outstanding
@David Howard Chuckii is an amazing keyboard artist and his voice is amazing .
His God Father Barry White wouldn't have it any other way!! Love me some Chuckii.
This came out fall 92.. return of the Mack like 96 97
95 96 return of maxn
Yeah, as a 52 year old, we took the 90s for granted!❤😂😢 💯
Hey. As a 56 yo, I agree with you 100%
You are correct, the golden years.
54 here. Fully agree! 😂👍
56 - I echo your words.
Barry Whites nephew.
It's still one of my favorite jams in 2024. Anyone else feel the same
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Hurry up somebody, and invent that time machine. Take us back, we miss those days
ASAP !!!!
Please please please
Yes Lord, I'm ready😆
Lemme know cause I'ma have my ticket ready
Yes indeed!😎
Back when artists had talent. These lyrics stand the test of time.
So true Maggie Jimenez Chuckii Booker was the man in the 90's this is always in my rotation
This song is a 10 out of 10..absolute classic!
I totally agree with you! "10 out of 10." When I was overseas this is one of the songs I had on rotation in a far away land back in the day.
Message approved
"Smooth Banger". His own musical genre. Go Chuckii
11/10 with a plus-minus 1/10 margin of error
This jam has such a "Loose Ends" vibe
Loose ends, keep looking by sade, and return of the Mac play these all together and que them it’s beautiful
If u here still enjoying this jam after 2023 !!!May God bless you more!!Spread the love ❤️ We got this 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hard to believe this great piece dropped 31 years ago. Perfect arrangement great melody ...
This song is a absolute masterpiece Chuckii doesn't get the props he deserves phonemnal music.🤚🙏🏿👍🏿💯💥💥💥
At all he produced and wrote songs for alot of groups
Supreme facts.
This was and still is my jam, they don't make music like this at all..
AT ALL. Period. Good music ended in 2005.
That’s a lie it was just a different genre and similar story
Artist today need to learn from past artist like how to use their voices and not machines.
U mean anymore,u can thank social media for that
@@tiandrhyajackson5866it’s not a lie
Damn, the Legend himself Chucki Booker! Man, I love this song! Life was so simple back then! How I wish I could go back in a Time Machine!! Phenomenal stuff!
I wouldn’t call it simple. But we all knew what sex we were at least !
Yes, I wish to
Amen to that Brother
You ain't lied 💯💙

I've travelled from 2035 and i can confirm that this tunes still bangs..! 🔥
Underrated comment, Lol
CHUCKII BOOKER WAS THE SHIT BACK IN THE DAY
@winter baby those dimples were too cute the first boyfriend I ever had these deep dimples just like Chuckii too bad he was full of "games " and b.s.
Yes he was the shit listen to him all the time
And still is!!!🔥🔥
Whatever happened to him? He needs to come back and give us some of that great music.
Chuckii is still doing his thing he is Lionel Ritchie Band manager.
Chuckii Booker's "Games"is somewhat similar to Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack" I love both of these songs!
You have a great ear!
It's the original. Return of the Mac was a sample
I knew Mark Morrison had to use a sample of this song.
🎯
Yup Mark Morrison straight up bit this sh1t lmao
2020 and this song still hitting harder than most the stuff they call music today!!!!!!

This always takes me back. I was a jit and my family was stationed in Berlin, Germany. That was our last summer at Berlin-American HS before most of us moved back to the States. Listening to this at AFN Radio "with your favorite DJ Walt Baby Love".
When Chuckii hit them notes at the end though!!!!!
Right?!?! 🔥🔥🔥
seriously
Who else is jamming this in December, 2022. Chuckii.....lay the groove on me. This was my jam back in the day. A song and a half. Love it.
FUN FACT: At 2:55 you can hear a sample of Janet Jackson’s voice screaming, “CHUCKII!”. Chuckii was Janet’s opening act/music director of her 1990 Rhythm Nation tour.
Nice! It definitely sounds like her..
@manlover32 Thanks for that tidbit!
Didn't know that!
I glad that I find this song 😊
I thought they were saying tookie 😂😂 I love that
African-American music and 90s-nostalgia go together like peanut butter and chocolate as they are such a fun and colorful combination!
A classic. I've been loving this song waaay before RUclips. 92 ❤
return of the mack sampled the HELL out of this song though. there's no denying it
+eksoedusprime never realized that until you said it, you are RIGHT
jrcombre1 great minds think alike
you might be right.
rigggght! in the back of my head I was thinkin of return of the mack but didn't no why, everything is so clear now lol

Remake the beat
I'm happy for u it's plenty more to discover 🎧🎶🎶❤️
Luniz did it
Same bro lol, literally found this last week
I discovered this song when I heard it at the Harrah's Hotel lobby in Las Vegas
If you've ever been in a one-sided relationship, this song speaks straight to your soul.
💯 I can relate
🎯
Definitely understand this. I think my boyfriend that died in Aug 2021 is the man that's ever gonna love me. Because the men got a problem now
I worked as a radio presenter for almost 8yrears before i was fired,. And i can safely say I'm the first one to play this song during my show
👍👍
I was 6 when this song came out. My mom would play this on the weekends while we were all cleaning 😂🤣 I remember every word!! The good days, 90's had the best music PERIOD.
We both luv This kinda mello soulful music Yes Yes soul mate👍👍👍🐈🐈😺🌞

Hey now soul mate we both have More soul than all shoes ever made🐈🐈🐈🐈😌😌😌😌
Hey camille
I WAS 10 AND MY MOM DID THE SAME THING! BUT I APPRECIATE HER FOR THAT, PLUS I'M SLICK OCD! LOL
I am not sure about anyone else but i believe the 90's had the best sound. The proof is in this song, Chuckii was singing about his woman and the game she tried to run on him. Most importantly was how the instruments were orchestrated to fit the jazzy elements of the time.
Was just saying on a Bobby Brown vid that the 80's and 90's are probably gonna be THE best decades of music that the world will ever hear!
Roneesha Mitchell - 70s and 80s my dear. :-)
LivSimple How can you possible say that the 80s and 90s were better than the 1960s? That was the most incredibly creative decade of music in history.
LivSimple- True objectively the 60s were it, but I remember the 70s & 80s.:-)
TheIrishrogue68 I agree! And, I'm an 60's baby and 70's child; the goooood years.
I miss this smooth new jack city beat . What happened to good music?
Nona Yabizness everybody is jujuing on that beat
Nona Yabizness do you
Do I what ? Love this New Jack beat ? Yes. I was introduced to music in the late 70's early 80's when I was growing up , Marvin Gaye , Earth wind and fire , Al Green and Kool and the gang .
I still play this in the ride on the way to work...sorry...LOL!
Good music is now on youtube...Hallelujah!
I spend so much time going through all the old stuff, that I really don't get time to listen to the new stuff.
The music live on.
Thanks RUclips
Man, the 90s songs were so smooth.
I love how alot of 90s R&B, New Jack Swing, & Hip-Hop had that "Smooth Jazz" feel to it
It was so creative. Now everything is so hip-hopish.
I agree. Better talent too.
These new 'r & b' artists don't even sing anymore nowadays. They do this mush mouth mumble stuff. R & b and hip hop started to be fused around the early 90's when Diddy restyled Jodeci. Then R.

Antwone Carter but the videos were rubbish. why they use more white women back then; would have elevated dance sequences to New heightsv
Listen to any of the following artists and tell me they are whack Jarrod Lawson, Anderson .Paak, Hiatus Kaiyote , Personal Life, Katie Leone, Dira, Princess Freesia, Beauty Room, Jazzanova, Incognito, Omar, Maxwell, Ed Motta, Junior Boys, Little Dragon, Soulive, Jessie Lanza. Loads more if you need them.
They still playing games today 2022. Men and women.
Classic, loved this song as a kid...
this is music! music lost its heart after the 90s.
Sure did
Music didn't but too many music artist did and that is sad.
Neci Hines comment bold
True muzic
Neci u are right. Its jus talking about the same stuff. Weed, fake bootys, drinking lean, pills, twerking, hustling. Its more 2 life than all that.

Damn this still hits the soul!!!! Brilliant piece!!!!❤
Bro just did a show at Yoshi’s and straight killed it . He did “Games” and put the Geto boys sample in there, that shit was HARD AF
Wish I could’ve been there
He still touring
He also wrote Angela Winbush's hit song in 1994 "Treat U Rite".

I don’t get tired of hearing him! Love his dimples and...
This is STILL one of my favorite songs ever! Fun Fact: The Late Great Gerald Levert Co-wrote & Co-produced this track!!
Gerald Only Co-Wrote Games. Chuckii produced both of his albums without any help. #checkthealbumcredits

Great song, beat, and lyrics. Chuckii Booker is very talented.
This will FOREVER be a jam!😻💃🏾💃🏾

+Glenn R I said the same thing about hearing Mark Morrison Return of the Mack.. yep
+Kenney McCall That's because Mark sampled this.
Wow, you right! I just listened to return of the mack. Its not sampled, the words are just different. That's still a jam though.

I’m a 98 baby, but man I’m jealous of people who got to grow up in the 80s and 90s shit seem lovely
It was my jam back then and it still is today. The vibe is definitely real ❤
Chuckii Had a big influence on the 90’s phenomenal producer
When music was so great and amazing!!! I need to start my own radio station and bring back all this dope music
Timeless JAM One the Greatest R&B songs 💯🔥🔥
Dope the 90s was a great time to be a teenager
I heard that
I was today years old (4.1.21) when I learned it was Janet Jackson saying "Chukii Chukii." It came from her Rhythm Nation tour when he was her musical director. 2:55-3:10
"Chukki..."
"Yeah..."
"Give me beat."
When he hit those high notes at the end whew!!🙌🏽🥵
This is a great song…,his voice and the harmonies are just gorgeous

This looks and feels like the late 80s, but i remember this.
