You Said is an album by Jermaine Jackson. It was his debut and only album for LaFace Records. The entire album was produced by The LaFace Family (which consist of L.A. Reid, Babyface, Kayo, and Darryl Simmons.)

L.A. and Babyface were designed to be what Quincy Jones was to Michael and what Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were to Janet. It had all the right elements for success, but, an ill-fated choice of the title song, set the project on an unsteady course. The original version of "Word to the Badd" had been a scathing read on his poor relationship with his brother, Michael, at the time. Leery of the controversy, Arista requested that he return to the studios and remove the scathing lyrics. Though the music was arguably hot, the entire incident would ultimately backfire when a leaked version of the original single would not take hold at radio.

Trivia [link]

• An early version of "Word to the Badd!" which features TLC's member Tionne Watkins leaked out and received radio play. It was written in criticism of his younger brother Michael, when the two brothers were on bad terms. The lyrics were rewritten for the album version, making the song about an unnamed former romantic interest instead.
