Raphael Saadiq - Ask of You | REACTION 

🚨Do you have a favorite song/video? Send it to me here and I'll react to it! 🎵: streamlabs.com/jackreacts904/tip

The name is from the movie Higher Learning. This a song from that movie's soundtrack. Tyra Banks was the girl that played Deja . Omar Epps also starred in this movie.

You should recognize the sample from this; Wale 'On Chill". Raphael was the lead singer with several hits with Tony, Toni, Tone. "Anniversary", "It Never Rains in Southern California", "Lay Your Head on my Pillow" are a few ballads from them.

My fav song 👏🏽❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

This song is one of the most beautiful/sexiest love songs there is in imo.The lyrics are alil raunchy but he sings it with so much class. To this day I tear up when I hear it thinking about the love I had at the time and the love I long for now. He does an amazing job on this cut and if I'm not mistaken,it's from the movie "Higher Learning " soundtrack. Look at that movie now,and it makes you wonder about school shootings today.

This is from the Higher Learning soundtrack. I always thought he said "I love you, Déja" because the Omar Epps' love interest in the movie was named Deja.

Yyyeesss come on now Jack💙. This song has been on repeat daily in my Playlist. Literally one of my go tos no matter my mood💫... One of my 90's favs. I love his voice and whole vibe. Special shout out to the background vocals as well🔥🎤. They did their thang... It's a very sensual song without being raunchy. Luv luv luv🩷. You have made my whole entire month with this reaction.

Raphael Saadiq produced and written the song

Omggg, I finally found someone who feels the same exact way that I do about this song’s bridge, I even rewind it over and over again, just to hear him sing it… that bridge is so body chilling, and it puts me in the mood to express it when seeing my husband, when I’m listening to it, “PANTS OFF, DANCE OFF”… 👌🏾🤷🏾‍♀️❤️☺️

Saadiq has been the Man since he was in Tony, Toni, Tone and is a phenomenal Artist, Singer, and Musician. He has written, composed, produced so many hits for so many other Artists, and he was also on Beyonce's Renaissance Album. 🙏🏽🤎💪🏽👏🏽✊🏽

One of my all time favorite songs from one of top 5 favorite films, ‘Higher Learning’. Deja was a character in the movie played by Tyra Banks.

Finally! One of the best hits of the 90s!

He was on the guitar when you reacted to D'Angelo "Lady".

Deja was played by Tyra Banks in the movie Higher Learning. I have a niece named Daisha spelled different but born when this movie came out. I would sing it to her all the time❤

Had to edit the video so this reaction wouldn’t get blocked! Unedited version on my Patreon (Lnk in Bio)

Saadiq never disappoints. The tracks he’s done (this and the other with his group, Tony Toni Tone) for John Singleton’s first 3 films are 90’s R&B classics. You gotta check out “Just me and you” from “Boyz N The Hood” and the west coast bumpin classic “let’s get down” featuring DJ Quik. RIP to my friends John Simgleton & Dedrick “V-Dub” Gobert (Dookie in “Boyz N The Hood” and was sadly murdered before the release of “higher learning,” in which would be his last film).

I remember reading an interview where he said this song is often misinterpreted. It’s actually a tribute to his daughter. From what I recall Deja is his daughter. She is the little girl in the video. Either way, I love this song with a passion. Music can mean different things to different people. I am a HUGE fan of Raphael Saadiq’s (give name: Charles Ray Wiggins) creativity and artistry. His style is just too cool for words. He once lived in the Curtis Park area of Sacramento-which Sac folks would tell you really fits his vibe. All these reactions to my former neighbors and city mates. The universe is calling. Time for me to move!

One of my favorite songs! Love Raphael Saadiq 💜💜

🎶This is an ole school jam!! 🎶

You have a gift for this, very detailed with your reactions, you break it down from vocal ranges to instruments & song structure. Nice reaction Jack🔥🔥

I ❤️ this song soooo much!!! In high school I had my best friend record this song from her Higher Learning Soundtrack cd onto BOTH sides of a blank tape😮 so that I could play it in my parent’s car over & over again 😂

This was on the Higher Learning soundtrack. Saadiq saying Deja, after the character in the movie. This song is still one of my favorites! ♥

Yeah this is a classic song.

Such a classic! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

React to Raphael Saadiq & D’Angelo- “you should be here”.

This song for some reason used to confuse me with Usher's 'Think of you' from his first album, love them both

IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

He also did a track Me and You for Boyz N the Hood soundtrack. Both John Singleton movies

He the lead singer from Tony Toni Tone

I have been bumpin' this song since '95 when Higher Learning came out. The Producers of the movie wanted to label this as a Tony! Toni! Tone! song and he refused. This was his song and rightfully, he wanted full credit. They do not make songs that hit like this anymore!

i lovee this one! one of my favs. he’s also apart of the group tony!toni!toné!. from oakland, ca!

My fav from him

Wow, I forgot all about this true gem. So beautiful!!

All time fave. Sucks that only the video is on Apple Music. Higher Learning baby.

OH goodness.... I literally put on Higher Learning as I was watching this review. Had to...

It's from the soundtrack Higher Leaning

😁 Okay! Now, C Robb is stealing from my 90s R&B Spotify playlist! 🔥

This song probably sounds familiar Jack if you heard Wale's song "On Chill". It samples this song

I was named after this song

Loved Toni Tone Tony and all of his collaborations - until the truth came out. Talented Man

Alright it's time for the Neo-Soul artists who need more front center presence now...Yes, feels nice still after decades...woo

ayy early gang

Review Raphael Saadiq “sometimes”

Home free listen to the music

Jack out of curiosity, do you search your channel and re-watch previous reactions before doing a new song by the same artist? Like, a refresher?

You gotta react to Rick James and The Temptations standing on the top you will thank me later

Oops I get it now

Jack listen you have to do get involved by Raphael and Q Tip

Saadiq is a bad dude. Writer producer and singer

Longer version better

Not feeling this

Love this song, but can not listen to "white boy being the "expert " critiquing, breaking down, R&B, Hip Hop, Rap music. The nerve. 🖤🖤🖤🤎🤎🤎
