      My father is always saying this. I think this song came out when he was a freshman in college. This was his favorite song. Fast forward decades later when my father became a college professor and was and still is teaching at the Ohio State University he somehow got Mtume's phone number, called him and invited him to OSU. When Mtume arrived my father told him that Juicy Fruit was his all-time favorite song. Mtume responded, "stop lying young Brother." Don't know why he called my father young cause he was in his 40s at the time. Anyway, my father replied, "I'm serious, Juicy Fruit is my all-time favorite song." Mtume smiled a wide smile and got chocked up."

    This is such a beautiful, melodic song. While I enjoy listening to it a lot, I just can't help but think of Biggie's 'Juicy' every time I hear this. I get very nostalgic and emotional these days being that BIG ain't here no more. Thank you Mtume for making this classic and RIP Biggie!
