I always thought Heavy D was the go to guy when you wanted a hit. Am I wrong?

    I gotta go with Candy Rain on this one.

    Dont get me wrong Biggie verse was nice, but Total vocals are kinda "meh", though the James Brown sample is hot.

    That is a hard ass choice, Biggie verse is my favorite part of Can't You See, but Candy Rain is better overall. So i would say Candy Rain.

    Heavy D was a hit maker. Candy Rain is a real classic.

    Why compare these two songs? Anyway, I really wanted to say Can't You See. I love that song and still listen to it every now and then but Candy Rain is actually the better made song.

    These bought back memories. I miss the 90s minus school.

    Yep!. Good thread by the way... we need more older rnb song (or album) comparison threads like these.

    Definitely stick with Total. Biggie's verse - classic. Usage of Brown's sample - amazing. Vocals (even considering limited abilities of Kima, Keisha and Pam) - good. Dark, atmospheric vibe add another dimension to this track. I listened to Total first album yesterday - that was something. I never felt Candy Rain that much. Kid's voice gets on my nerves. Give me some grown ass folks music.

    Cant You See is typical 90's Bad Boy label formula.

    Swag
    Style
    Shiny Stuff
    A hot fire into From BIggie
    EQUALS HIT!!!!

    but it became pretty obvious that these chicks had crazy thin vocals and they couldnt even fall back on there looks because they werent that attractive either! Puff pulled a fast one on us! there was move talent out there he couldve backed then TOTAL. they dont hold up well with history.

    so by default CANDY RAIN!!!! what happened to Soul 4 Real anyway? I wrote about it here 90's Artist That Are MIA

    I went with 'Can't you See'

    so many memories from that song and that summer alone..

    Candy Rain was aight, but only one person could sing. Lets not act like they weren't trying to be the 90's version of the Jackson 5.

    saw right through that gimmick..
