Javier – Crazy : Contestant from NBC’s The Voice
So this past week I’ve been seeing advertisements for NBC’s The Voice and instantly noticed the contestant featured in the commercial. It’s Javier, he isn’t exactly an amateur because he already released a major label album about 6 years ago. I hoped he would blow up because the dude is genuinly talented and could really [...]
Kris Kross – Warm It Up
As a kid I was a HUGE Kris Kross fan and had all their cassette tapes until they disappeared in their teenage years. This song made every kid with the name “Chris” proud. I used to get hype with all my neighborhood friends and wear our clothes backwards while listening to Totally Krossed Out. I [...]
Wreckx-n-Effect – Rump Shaker: For Sale for 30k!
As I was writing this I found the Rump Shaker Masters for sale for $30,000! Before Hampton Roads Virginia became known as the home to The Neptunes, Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Allen Iverson, and Michael Vick, Teddy Riley was the biggest celebrity in the area. His presence in the area was more of an urban legend, [...]
B-Real, Coolio, Method Man, LL Cool J And Busta Rhymes – Hit Em High (The Monstars’ Anthem)
Even though this song was on the SpaceJam Soundtrack it still went Hard! I still keep this on my workout playlist when I hit the gym. Remember when soundtrack music videos showed clips of the movie throughout the music video? In the 90′s, movie soundtracks were just as big as solo albums. SpaceJam, Above The [...]
Snoop Doggy Dog – Doggystyle
On one of the hip hop forums I frequent, someone brought up Doggystyle vs. Reasonable Doubt. Anybody that was listening to music back in 1993 can attest that Doggystyle was a MONUMENTAL album. Even though Jay Z is now the most successful rapper in hip hop history, Reasonable Doubt didn’t make NEARLY [...]
Public Enemy – Shut Em Down(Pete Rock Remix)
I never listened to Public Enemy because they were a little before my time and weren’t exactly radio pop stars like Michael Jackson. I knew of “Fight The Power” and “He Got Game” from the movie of the same name but neither really struck a chord with me. I recently stumbled on this song through [...]
Musiq Soulchild – Just Friends
The summer of 2001 was the year I graduated high school. CRAZY it was 9 years ago! I didn’t get to wild out with my friends during summer because I IMMEDIATELY had to go to VCU right after graduation. I had to go to this pre college program for the summer because my high school [...]
Shai – Baby I’m Yours
I miss the days of real feel good R&B music. Not many R&B singers these days just outright serenade anymore except for maybe Neyo and Maxwell. They sing about sex or try to be R&B hip hop thugs. Aint nothing wrong with under the sheets music but there’s just not many current R&B songs that [...]
Corina – Summertime
If you watch the whole video you’ll notice shots of Lil Jon pre crunk fame. This song was on the So So Def Bass All Stars Vol II album. I bought this CD thinking it had Ghost Town DJ’s My Boo but it has a wack ass remix on it. My Boo was actually on [...]
