"Got Me Waiting" is a song by American hip hop group Heavy D & the Boyz and the lead single from their fifth studio album Nuttin' but Love (1994). It features vocals from singer Crystal Johnson. Produced by Heavy D and Pete Rock, the song contains a sample of " Don't You Know That?" by Luther Vandross.
Composition and critical reception
The instrumental is built around the sample, while the lyrics find Heavy D trying to find out a woman's intentions and win her affection and attention. [1] [2] Crystal Johnson sings the hook.
Paul Barnes of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review of the song, writing "For many listeners, this song is an excellent example of how sampling can blend well without it being the selling point. While not necessarily ' jazz rap,' it's definitely not an aggressive or emotional song, either. Heavy D drops three smooth and easygoing verses that lock in on the atmosphere of the production around him." [2]
