Its cool, but I dont think jungle will ever really pick up among R&B
fans, or evn america as a whole (even though its in all the comercials,
its still not mainstream). There have been too many trys in the R&B area,
I thought that kenny latttimore song was preparingpeople, and a couple of
rappers have adopted it for one or 2 songs, but it still isnt as popular
as it should be. wqhat can we do?
