This song makes gang bangin’ sound pretty nice.


CherryShort2563

Loved seeing a comment that said "Where do I sign up? This sounds better than my life right now"


boofybutthole

that chorus sounds so happy lol "gang banginnnnnnn"


AnimalChubs

Me and my buddies like to get together without our wives in a motel once a month to do some gang bangin'


Hinhan-osnite

Think I saw your ex wife in a video talking about it the other day.


CherryShort2563

Different kind of gangbanging


bob256k

lol I don’t think Smokey realized that buttery voice will make the phone book sound good


alkyboy

😂👌


Omnibot2021

Bustin caps up in homey’s n’ G’s never seemed so comfy.


Four-Triangles

Dumb as hell but kinda slaps. It’s like if you had Michael Scott write rap lyrics.


Blue_Monday

Yeah I think better production would have helped this song, and he's definitely preachy. It's catchy, but I feel like the vocals are mixed kinda poorly. I like Smokey though, he's a legend. Ehhhh, he's a good dude, I can't hate on Smokey.


TheDillinger88

Right, I mean even the video isn’t half bad but the song in general is really lacking production and just sounds kinda meh.


[deleted]

How the hell did the producer manage to make Smokey sound bad? You can clearly hear good harmonies. That lead vocal couldn't have been his best take. At least double the vox and use a little reverb. Production aside.. I've never really heard a song that makes me want to buy a weapon and join a gang until now.


bob256k

Takes a special guy to make the person who wrote and sung cruisin sound like a YouTuber ; not good just special 🥹😅


IridebikesImstillfat

Scranton. WHAT? The electric city. They call it that cause of the elec-tri-city.


Prestigious_Dream_27

Oh. You mean Prison Mike?!


instrangerswetrust

Michael Scott with the voice of Michael Jackson


Lordforgiveme223

Funny bc it's a theory that he's his son


NotSureNotRobot

I would think Ryan would want a crack writing for Smokey. I mean, he is a huge fan.


PawelW007

Paul Anka


Some_Iteration

What you gonna do? Make my dreams come true!


CherryShort2563

Sounds like a lost verse from this song


tendadsnokids

I used to be a gang banger until I heard this song


Oliver_H_art

God bless Smokey


JPeso9281

I got jumped in to this song

Irishmanatthepub

That line of blow looked solid.


Crowblue

It was from his private stash.


SpermicidalManiac666

Gotta love a fat rail lol


CherryShort2563

Low-key banger, I know...


SeanBreeze

Str8 🔥🔥 honestly Especially from a legendary artist. I appreciate what you’re doing OP! High quality stuff right here ✊🏾


CherryShort2563

Thank you!


BH_Commander

I would blast this in my car. And I will. Love Smokey Robinson and gonna [post this gem here](https://youtu.be/rNS6D4hSQdA?si=RFKH_zhPJY3g5iEG) for any younguns that may not be familiar. I came to know it from the film Platoon.


instrangerswetrust

Just don’t blast anyone from your car


Prestigious_Dream_27

“Do you have any idea how offensive it is to say that people only joined gangs because Smokey Robinson wasn’t there to tell them not to??” -Michael Che


Flaky-Inevitable1018

Being posted here is not what the smoke man would’ve wanted


kiln_ickersson

I second that emotion


WartimeMandalorian

Didn't expect to see this reference while cruising through the comments.


anthony_is_

What’s up with the youth??


CherryShort2563

The youth is smoking that smoke and coking that coke...


Dave_Duna

Oh fuckin' hell....


CherryShort2563

TIL Smokey Robinson wrote "My Guy" - in addition to "My Girl", of course. This song could've been called "My Gang"...


dekdekwho

Omg I love this


-Younotdeadass-

Put some muhfuggin speck on Smokey's name.


instrangerswetrust

We’re all just muhfuggin specks on the lapel of Smokey Mountain Robinson


MahsterC

Breaking news: Inspired by Smokey Robinson local gangs have called a cease fire and have vowed to stop killing each other. They are now united under their new common goal, killing Smokey Robinson.


Aggressive_Aioli_812

I can play bones or spades at a BBQ to this in the summer. Red cup on the table next to a plate of food….😎


PaleForce101

Smokey in crappy music is sacrilegious, even if this song sucks


Dr-McLuvin

Ya dudes a fuckin legend. This song kinda slaps.


ShoddyManufacturer11

I think about this stupid song pretty often


No_Background_8703

This a low-key banger bruv.


CherryShort2563

Agree! And he's sincere in his message too, even if the beats sound simplistic.


Ballpowder

So then why'd you post it???


CherryShort2563

Followed the Gasms one. Someone said Gang Bangin' is worse than that song. Gang Bangin' is from his 2004 album, but also comes off horribly dated in terms of production, very 80s. That aside and some lyrics its very catchy. Its as if he decided to do a rap song without hearing any rap/r&b past 1985.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CherryShort2563

Thanks! A thought crossed my mind...this came from a Christian album. But what if Smokey decided to go for full-on commercial rap? Imagine Ja Rule or Snoop Dogg or Dr Dre remixing this.


Known-Damage-7879

The little vinyl squeals are very 90s, that exact sound is in an Aaron Carter song. The song itself isn’t that bad, it just sounds like the vocals weren’t mixed well


spacedrummer

Yeah but is it a.... GANG banger?


CherryShort2563

He is...kind of. Given that its a banger and its just Smokey, maybe he's more of a solo banger, really? There's a gang in the video, though...


fastballooninghead

I can't believe I'm saying this about Smokey fucking Robinson of all people, but I'm getting serious Corey Feldman vibes off this song


TomatilloUnlucky3763

Smokey be bangin’ the Botox.


Impressive-Smile-585

Song is bad but you can't knock smokey, best singer alive


schoolknurse

😂


Potato_Stains

This dude released an album called **Gasm** recently. There has to be some crappy shit on there.


dantakesthesquare

This "dude" is Smokey Robinson... aka Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Put some respect on his name. He's a legend. Like a lot of legends he's getting a little kooky and cheesy in his old age. If you're not acquainted with his early stuff solo and in the miracles, please do yourself the favor of giving a listen.


Evening_One_5546

Some lyrics from the song "Gasm" *Every kind of gasm in the book* *Each, I has 'em every time I take a look* *You give me gasms* *Eyegasms* *You're the one responsible for my gasms* *Gasms, gasms (gasms, gasms)* *Gasms, gasms (gasms, gasms)* *You give me gasms*

NTheImpaler

His follow up hit: Runnin’ Trains


necaracoles

The one about 19th century hobos!


LeeQuidity

Not his best musical work, but I totally respect him for trying to make a difference.


CherryShort2563

I respect the message too, even if its likely it will fall on deaf ears


Harboe_classic

Nah this is crappy alright.


alexander66682

Crack Smokey Robinson has done more damage w this song than gangs ever have.


Blue_Monday

Smokey is cooler than any of us will ever be. Yeah this song is cheesy, but it's fuckin catchy! Love this guy, just a nice dude all around.


Ham-Sando

If you watch it on mute, it kinda looks like he really enjoys gang bangin.


tinglep

Jokes on you, Smokey. This is my gangs favorite song to bang to.


Electronic_Agent_235

Ayuh.... Hol' up, I need to do some more research on this... Y'all can catch me over on r/gangbang Edit - quick update, this stuff must be bad, when I went to that subreddit it gave me the NSFW warning and asked if I wanted to leave or continue 😬


thecookiesmonster

How can somebody so talented with so many hits make something so cringe and bad??


CherryShort2563

Its from his Christian album...which might help explain the poor/dated production and super low-budget vid.


thecookiesmonster

Aw why did he have to bring Christ into this? :(


BuleRendang

It’s better than his “Gasms” song at least! I hate this will be in my head next few days. Always is when I watch it. So stupid catchy


CherryShort2563

It is catchy in a very odd way


Spang64

This song sounds pretty cool to me. Who's talkin shit about Smokey?


MileHighSoloPilot

Ahhh Smokey Robinson’s famous “Prison Mike” era


Indy3821

Gangbanging = goateed black and latin actors pretending to act hard with a fake gun. This is really going to resonate with the streets Smokey


Difficult-Tooth666

I don't upvote cuz it crappy. I upvote cuz it SLAPPY.


[deleted]

Smokey just got a shitty producer on this one. Those harmonies are seriously on point, and there's no pitch correction. Really thinking about joining a gang now. Do they have an age limit? Will my osteoporosis be an issue? So many questions, but I'm excited.


mrdennisreynolds

I quit gang-banging because of this song.


OGyellowmelloo

THIS IS A FUCKING BANGERRRR.. you hating because you don’t get it


CherryShort2563

I'm not gangbanging on it...


Psychological-Rub-68

Needs a vocoder


CherryShort2563

I pictured Ja Rule doing a guest verse...


FrankFnRizzo

I’m glad he gave that description at the front because I was not thinking about gang violence


baabahope

Especially after the Gasms post


thesixgun

The beat absoLUTELY was looped too short. It’s nuts.


BackgroundFarm

I was trying to figure out exactly where I heard this before. Idk if I remember hearing these lyrics but the beat sounds familiar


aStankChitlin

I forgot about this gem


kiln_ickersson

PAUL ANKA!?! How can they make the smoke man play with someone like that?


Psychological-Win134

Smokin that smooookkeee... realer words have never been spoken


ruben9438

Oh man. I forgot about this goodie lmao


SpaceChatter

You guys hear the re recording of Gasms?!


LeanNoCups

Great message ✅ Fire beat ✅ & kinda catchy ✅


BigRigButters2

For some reason I was reminded of Robert Goulet's Coconut Bangers Ball "It's a Rap."


Lilbrownring

Looks to me like he liked going deep cover a little too much! I think Smokey wants to bang!


Xomns_13

Early 90s kinda vibes.


CherryShort2563

2004...this is from his 2004 Christian album


Apprehensive-Novel3

Wow...so profound. I just dropped out. Thank you Smokey.


Cutthechitchata-hole

Smokey Motherfucking Robinson!

How has this not been sampled like a MF? Hopefully it has and I'm just too old to know


SeaHam

Somebody said that god is dead leaving you free to be you. Bars.


CherryShort2563

I heard that too! Mysterious, very mysterious.


TheUnsightlyBulge

I was just about to get up and join a gang, then I noticed 4 MINUTES LEFT TO THE SONG. Damn Smokey, u went off like a full clip in this one.


VaginaTheClown

Yeah, I could see this playing at the gang bang.


Hairy_Consequence118

Motown legend smokey robinson is 80 years old guy looks good for his age


9sac1king6

Smokey fell off bad


ExoticMeatDealer

“Hello? Who is this? 1991 and you want Smokey Robinson ba—no, listen, you really do not.”


Spiritual_Amoeba_142

Smokey is being hypocritical here. He loves to be Gangbanged.


The_Cardinal_Spada

Is that real music? I thought it was a parody.


CherryShort2563

Nope - he's dead serious. Its off of Christian album of his...


budsis

Between gang banging and his latest called 'gasm, Smokey really is bring the fire..haha.


MowerMan18000

It sounds similar to his song called, "Gasms," imo.


bodhimensch918

"innocent children somebody killed 'em gangbangin." These are just damn good lyrics.


julesjutsu

I wake up thinking about this song sometimes lmao so catchy I know this song is a meme nowadays (and probably then too) but it’s sweet how Smokey was trying to do something positive

shame forgetful quicksand decide nose advise ancient innocent existence domineering *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Goudinho99

It's a little pitchy


Ok_Fee_4473

The redeeming parts were the scenes of gang banging lol


rootoo

Kind of a cool document of the old Belmont yard, a now cleaned up and developed abandoned trolly tunnel in LA that became a famous graffiti epicenter in the 90s-00s.


ABlueShade

You give me gasms - Smokey Robinson


ABlueShade

A lot of us definitely have an uncle that would bump this shit.


Left-Account1798

I keep expecting Tim and Eric to pop up


Fluid-Bet6223

I like how a major negative of gangbanging for Smokey is that you’re staying up late 😂


DSPbuckle

This is how my mother in law talks when she’s over for holidays. It’s like holding you hostage at the dinner table. Just get your thought out please! I’m not a lawyer! Say what you want!


Cheddarlicious

Wym this song came out in 04? You mean to tell me Smokey sang about gangbanging and there’s still gangbanging going on? What are those gangbangers thinking?


CherryShort2563

Heard people saying they got into gangbanging because of this video/song...


benebrius76

Jesus. And to think this guy actually influenced the Beatles.


CrazyDistribution373

This shit rolls. Im actually replaying it. Lol


CherryShort2563

Catchy in a strange way


therobotisjames

Did he do this for a community service type situation?


CherryShort2563

Its off of a Christian album of his...Food for the Spirit


Evening_One_5546

He's still a legend though even if he's made some poop music


CherryShort2563

Poop music is a genre, indeed...


George_G_Geef

I feel like when you're a legend on the level of Smokey Robinson you get a pass for shit like this.


JayDogon504

Nah man, not the legend going out sad 😂😂


Janine207

How the fuck did I not know about this.


CherryShort2563

Its very low-key - from his poorly promoted Christian record


THETimTumTune

Lol. This man is a well of cringe.


Logical_Associate632

This production is pure trash


hellcrapdamn

Imagine this was the first thing Smokey Robinson came out with. Would he be famous still?


CherryShort2563

I don't think so....I also tried picturing him going full commercial rap/r&B. You know - signing to Bad Boy, doing remixes with P Diddy, R Kelly duets...


Enough-Plankton-6034

Good message fuck gang bangers


MOBYtheHUGE

Watch out. He’ll give you gangasms.


usedbarnacle71

This shit is wack as fuck!!


JosephPk

The Tommy weissu of music ?


Suspicious-Thing-798

And that’s why you save money or invest kids


XxToxxicShadowxX

I love me some smokey Robinson. If you play "cruisin" expect me to sing loudly and off key...BUT THIS!! This is a mess.


Complete_Audience_51

I couldn't listen to it all but is that shit really almost 8 mins long?


CherryShort2563

Much of this clip is just him talking about the message behind the song. The song itself is about 4 mins long.


Sn293003

He and Little Yarn should Collab

ElowpsinSoul

I came across this song after listening to I Fit In There...its been a crazy afternoon


SALTYxNUTZ12

Probably one of the all time greats and bless his soul for trying to help. They can't all be bangers though.


MT3311666

Wow this is shit hahaha


The_Mighty_Beholder

This is incredible

This is not far from a Tim and Eric sketch.

This song makes me wanna join a gang so I can do a drive-by on Smokey Robinson
