I’m Not Feeling You
Yvette Michele · 1997Yvette Michele recorded 'I'm Not Feeling You' for her debut album My Dream, produced under Dope on Plastic Inc., with the track built around an excerpt from Sylvester's 'Was It Something I Said' and featuring guest contributions from Black Rob and Canibus. Released as a single in 1996, the track positioned Yvette Michele as a notable voice in the hip-hop soul scene that flourished under the Bad Boy and Uptown Records family of artists during the mid-1990s, pairing smooth R&B vocals with hip-hop guest verses in the style popularised by labelmates like Mary J. Blige. The track remains a notable example of the mid-1990s hip-hop soul subgenre and a recognised feature in Yvette Michele's discography, with the original Funkmaster Flex mixtape inclusion contributing to its early circulation among hip-hop and R&B audiences.
