How Do U Want It
"How Do U Want It" is a hip-hop song performed by Tupac Shakur. The third single from his album All Eyez on Me, it features R&B duo K-Ci & JoJo, who at the time were best known as the lead singers of Jodeci. The song debuted June 16, 1996. It was a Double A-side single to "California Love" in America, and the song reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #17 in the UK in 1996.
It samples Quincy Jones's "Body Heat" from his 1974 album Body Heat. The song includes a diss of noted gangsta rap critic C. Delores Tucker. The Concert/Clean version's 3rd verse completely differs to the version found on the album. The song appears in the 1997 film, Gang Related, which was Tupac Shakur's last film performance after his death, and also appears in the 2002 film Friday After Next.
The song was nominated at the 1997 Grammys for the Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
Music videos
There were three videos filmed for this song: two in the same set for the single in April 1996 directed by Ron Hightower and produced by Tracy D. Robinson. These two are distinguished by MPAA rating (one is certified adult material). The video portrays a wild sex party with jacuzzi, mechanical bull riding, cage dancing and pole stripping. All actors and actresses are dressed in renaissance-age costumes, though all clothes are removed for the nude clip. The adult-material video also features numerous porn stars, including Nina Hartley, Heather Hunter, and Angel Kelly.
Danity Kane (album)
Danity Kane is the self-titled debut album by American R&B/pop group Danity Kane, released by Bad Boy Records on August 22, 2006 in the United States and by Atlantic Records on November 11, 2006 in Germany and Switzerland.
Production
The album involves production from executive-producer Sean Combs and Bad Boy vice president Harve Pierre, the album features production by Timbaland, Danja, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Mario Winans, Bryan Michael Cox, Rami, Ryan Leslie, Scott Storch and Jim Jonsin.
Release history
Chart performance
The album sold over 109,000 copies in its first day of release, eventually selling 234,662 copies in its first week according to Hits Daily Double, placing it at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart. According to Soundscan, the album has sold over 935,000 copies to date. In early 2007, it was certified Platinum for over one million copies shipped domestically. The album is currently Danity Kane's best-selling album.
Singles
The band's debut lead single from the album was "Show Stopper" with Yung Joc. The song was followed by the moderately successful ballad, "Ride for You". The label wanted to release "Hold Me Down" as the third single, however the band lobbied for "Right Now" or "Want It". No definitive answer surfaced for the lack of singles on the debut album but this is attributed to management issues with the next single decision and the less than stellar chart performance of "Ride for You". Further singles were cancelled and Danity Kane returned to the studio in 2007 to record new material for their sophomore album.
How Do
"How Do" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Mary Chapin Carpenter. It was released in April 1989 as the first single from the album State of the Heart. The song reached #19 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
