the plan has been to write about "in my business" a long time, even prior to whitney houston's passing in february and i thought of doing it around that time but i didn't want to do it then. it's been one of my favourite whitney houston songs ever since i heard it and that was when this album was released. my mate at the time had the album and we we're at his place playing video games and he'd play albums in the background.
whitney's "my love is your love" album was something that was given a lot of spins and he wasn't into "in my business" but i loved it. i think it fit really well with her voice and it was the type of classy r&b that whitney should have done when trying to do the music "that the kids were into". the topic at hand and sound were something you could expect from the producer crop at time and especially from the hands of missy elliott.
it wasn't actually shake'spare or darkchild that was responsible for the production but elliott and kelvin bradshaw & lloyd "spec" turner. the latter two was formerly of obscure r&b group basic black, not something that i knew but i thank discogs for that information.
the three also produced another song for houstons album called "oh yes" but i remeber that i didn't like that. i think it sounded like toni braxton's "unbreak my heart" and i really don't like that song.to be honest i think "in my business" also sounds like something else, mainly destiny's child's "bills, bills, bills" & tlc's "no scrubs" but i like those songs so i don't mind the slight similarities.
