21 years ago TODAY Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's famous hit "It Takes Two" went gold. its amzing that even 21 years later, this is still a steady club banger. all i know is when this song comes on in the club, there is no stopping my old school moves (yes, i have plenty come see me if u want to battle) haha but na, enjoy this shit, hopefully its gonna be a banger for another 20 years. i wonder what my future kids would think about this jam. its gonna be a throwback by that time fo sho.
yo, these girls are always forgotten about when people talk about pioneering R&B. SWV has always been one of my all-time fave girl groups, and while they are most famously known for their single "Weak", i picked this more up-tempo throwback to share with you guys. Here's SWV with "You're The One"
if you guys don't know me, i'm a huge fan of Michael Jackson. so i think i'ma make this a weekly thing where i take you back to a time where music MOVED us. i dont care what anyone says, MJ's music stands the test of time. how many times have i listened to something like "Rock With You" and its like the first time every time. The Man, The Myth, The Legend. here is one of my favorites, "Who Is It."
Check out my boy Yung M.I. (who is also my co-host on dtfradio.com) this his newest mixtape entitled LOVE LETTER 1.4 hosted by Lumidee. he is doing big things people look out for him! hit him up on twitter or facebook "futurevoiceofny" with your comments and feedback! THIS IS THE FUTURE!
i guess from an outsider's perspective, you could say that we are doing a whole lot for Haiti. I just got the chance to watch this video and had to post it. all i know is Wyclef didnt have to bug out, we all know your from Haiti, WE GET IT! anyway, let me not be a hater, this was a beautiful project just like the one from 1985 and this is all for a better cause...
i honestly can't get enough of this guy, Nas. and when i heard this track with John Legend, i didnt even have to listen and i knew i would fall in love with this track. check it, Nas sounds just as great as he always has. This is "Victory" off that new DJ Khaled project
i've gotten the honor of meeting mr. cheeks twice so far, and he's a funny dude. everything you would expect from the lost boyz member, he was joined by Craig G in the GOOM studios for the morning show. They spoke about their new collaboration album titled "Hip-Hop Honors." what i had also learned that day was the Craig G had wrote all of Eminem's opponents' rhymes in 8-mile. now who knows if this was common knowledge and i may just be late, but that blew my mind a little bit...craig g also KILLED a freestyle...i'ma have that mp3 up for u guys soon...
i remember when i met Musiq, i was playing with my phone as we waiting for the elevator to bring him up for an interview at BET Radio. this was when the verizon blackberry storm had just come out, and he looked at me and said "can i see that?" hah, i was kinda dumb-founded as i handed him my phone, and there he went playing music and checking out the new features. he told me he was jealous that i had this phone, and now that he has seen it, he's GOT to cop it. i'll never forget that was the day my phone played MUSIQ.
