Lady T & Rick both RIP🙏🏿❤
Teena Marie was actually heavily sick with the flu when she sang this. Rick was going to use a different singer because she was ill, but she came in and sang this in one take before going to the hospital. Teena Marie known as "The Ivory Queen of Soul"...
Rick James is so underrated as a vocalist, musician, and producer. He was a multi-faceted individual with a tumultuous life. Tina Marie was a powerhouse vocalist in her own right. They did have a bit of a toxic romantic relationship for a while but always spoke fondly of each others' talent. 💖💖
Her name is Teena!
Use and Abuse them is a reference to taking advantage of them not necessarily putting hands on them. Like take relationships for granted etc.
yeah, that term used to be used quite a lot back then with that meaning.
Thank you for explaining that! This was a different era. Everything was NOT TOXIC like it is Now! That's right I said it. And I can say it too because I was a Grown and married Black woman with 2 children who was about 27 years old when this was released. You see, Women respected their men and vice versa and this song reflected some who may have started from tradition seeking something freakier. Only to realize that "relationships" go Nowhere with that kind of mentality. Kind of like what's happening today with these so called "situationships" that are just excuses to add to these Girl's , not Women's BODY COUNT and ultimately destroys their chances of EVER finding a Man that will accept all of your demands, requirements and your Body Count. We had a word for that back in my day!!!!
Like Kevin Samuels said (RIP Kevin), Buy a Dog and die alone!
This was a MASTERPIECE of its time and should NEVER be measured by this Overly Sensitive Generation that thinks Nothing before Their Time was Relevant!
Read a book. Get a Clue!
Thank you for breaking this down. This generation takes everything so literally.
His exes did claim physical abuse, which he blamed on drug use so... take it however you want,
Teena Marie was my favorite R&B singer from the 1980's bar none - and that is say alot.
One of the greatest slow dance songs ever! along with Earth Wind and Fire‘s Reasons.
Teena Maria is the queen of BLUE EYED soul. She was one of a kind. She wasnt pretending to be a soul singer. She was sincere.
This is one of the few songs that will stand the test of time. May they both rest in peace.
Wish we still had great music like this being made today 😢
Me too
My sir this song by both the late great Rick James and Teena Marie is definitely one of the greatest duets in music history! Pleeease react to more Teena Marie and Rick James. Teena is a vocal beast I’m sure you’ll see ❤!!
"Happy" by the two of them is equally fantastic.
💯💯💯❤❤❤
How is there a person in the universe who does not know who Teena Marie is??????
That’s not even a debate how I’m 30 and know this song bruh must been in a bubble back n the day
this is a classic; i grew up on this one ...
Love Rick and Teena so much !!!!!!
im glad u loved this song its so amazing! my fav r&b duet of all time and yes they were together at one point.
This song will leave you shook☺️
This was such a huge hit. A pure Soul Classic!
one of my favorite songs teena marie is a great artist
Great reaction! I saw him perform this live a few times with and without Teena. It was an experience!
Music that made you feel something!!! Absolutely Spectacular!!!
My kind of music! Grew up on this and was 9 years old when this song came out. This is REAL music!!
AMEN!
Out On A Limb still slays me!!
Wow- Loved both of them . Great reaction .
when this song came out, the public did not see Tina until after it blew up on the charts, and many people were shocked, including me, to learn Tina was white ...
Same here I was also shocked where she grew up at
The vocals are amazing!!!
Man that bass on You and I still sends me. Rick was an all around musical genius in my book.
Had a CD of Rick for decades . . . then sold my car . . . that fabulous tape went with it. Why wouldn't anybody want to listen to this guy for hours!!!!
The term "Use and Abuse" didn't refer to physical violence back in the 80s. It meant to take advantage of another person. In this case, he was expressing that he was a player that didn't appreciate women--- use them and move on (abuse them).
Today they take everything literally. Everything is a crime.
Ebony Eyes ft Smokey Robinson is another Rick James song you should check out
Omg! Yes
Rick is featured in Eddie Murphys song My Girl Wants to party all the time. It's a great tune! 😊
Damn...
Artist, R&B back then were not necessarily like MCs are today. They didn't sing about their lives. They sang about topics, concepts, and ideas (without necessarily being personal). Rick James wrote this song, and when it was released, Rick was the #1 artist on Motown's label. Teena was relatively new. Rick was her producer and romantic interest for a time. Teena (and the rest of the then known universe) knew Rick was a wild boy and not the settling down type, so their relationship, both business and personal, didn't last.
Loved your reaction!
Where has he been living😂…neve heard this song or TEENA??? This reaction you know what I’m just going to ….🤫but I love when our artists shock the heck out of a person.
Chile , Tinas part is going to blow your wig back!!!!
Clever anecdotes and word play were a must in song writing back then. You would have to be familiar with the lingo . Hes not bopping her upside the head. There are many ways to abuse someone. They just mean dogging each other out.
It is and always will be the best duet of all time to me. Go do a review of Rick James & Smokey Robinson's song Ebony Eyes. It is in my top 10 duets of all time as well, maybe top 5.
There’s no way you never heard this song playing in black households, brother 🙄🤣
Right especially in the south
I find it hard to believe that you have never heard of Rick James and Tina Marie. Your parents failed you by not putting you up on game! You've never been to a Bar B Que or cookout where Rick James was being places??
I'm glad you liked it, but I didn't appreciate the narrative that you think he did "bad things" in the relationship. The word "abuse", let's face it, that's the word you're talking about, is referring to abusing the relationship itself. Use and abuse is a common saying when someone is manipulating the other person in the relationship. Never in the years and decades I have listened to this song that I even thought to go that route. This is a love song. R&B music. We don't talk about stuff like that.
Rick was unfukwitable PERIOD!!
Right! Literally the mf man!
I can honestly think of no better way to be introduced to these two as artists. Have to agree about it being one of the if not the greatest duet ever. Too many slept on Rick the artist due to the skits and his behavior.
Ebony eyes by rick james and smokey robinson
Fire and Ice 😂😂😂😂
This was the song back in the day. I believe that they were a couple at one time.
People are so sleep on Teena! Look at her songs, epic. They were item back then it was said!

I'm shocked that you don't know Teena Marie 😱🤯🤣 good video though.
He wasn’t talking about hitting anybody when he says “use them and abuse them”. Just that he didn’t treat them well and played them.
Tina and Rick were an item ...
It's called "Fire and DESIRE".
@@cincinnatip6420 YEAH!
NOT Fire and ICE!!!!!
He looks old enough to know them.
Unbelievable! You never heard of Rick James or Teena Marie. Then, maybe, you never heard of Motown, neither
There you go assumi ng he was beating her. Abuse comes in many forms my man.
Never hearing this is just as absurd as not listening to Tupac sir 😂
How you're black and look like you have been on this earth. For 40 plus years, and never heard of Rick James. You're just jumping out the window, trying to react like it's new. Just enjoy the music and tell us how you feel about the song and how it makes you feel.
Shame on you not knowing them go back under the rock you come from
My guy I'm very disappointed that you never heard of these greats. I can understand if you was 5 yrs old .this is sad please stop doing this music stuff because your at the age you should know this
I can't believe you said you never heard of Teena Marie....wooowwwww.....i thought your was a old head! My gosh.
Seriously you never heard of Rick James
