The song depends very heavily on the main riff of Rick James' funk classic "Super Freak". So much so that, after legal wrangling, James and his co-author Alonzo Miller ended up sharing songwriting credits with Hammer- and then winning a Grammy when "U Can't" won Best R&B Song!
It *is* a banger! Everyone breaks out in dance. You can’t help it. Anyone who says they don’t is lying.
💯
Oh, definitely. Though it's kind of weird that James didn't win any Grammys for his classic Motown recordings...
All aboard the snub train 🚞

You could argue the song probably turned more people on to Rick’s music, which is never a bad thing
The Grammy one is SRO.
