Joe - Love Dont Make No Sense

My iPod is full of Rnb. Joe's All that I am album was my joint back in the late 90's. I played that tape so much that you couldnt read the songs on the tape.



Afro-rican - Give it all you got

This song brings me back to my bboy days. Probably the first song that i heard with the term "doggystyle". Four, tres, two, uno!



William Bell - I Forgot To Be Your Lover

Song sampled many times in the hip hop game. Most notably for Worst come to Worst by Dilated Peoples



The Fugees - Ready or Not

Enya Sample. Five Mic album from the Fugees. I remember when I loved in Queens in 96. This album was the biggest thing out. Happy that I experienced NYC life during the golden-age of hip hop.



Too Short - I Want To Be Free

Old School Oakland mob shit. Too Short will always be a legend in the game. Old school funk samples on this one. Check out the Too Short documentary. Its pretty dope.

Labor day weekend edition

Labor Day shuffle

Dave Hollister - One Woman Man

Good story telling by former Blackstreet lead.



Frankie Avalon - Venus

Old school track by Philly legend F. Avalon. Melanie Fiona sample on "You Stop My Heart"





Musiq Soulchild - Buddy

Musiq flipped De la's track with this one.



Midnight Star - No Parking on the Dancefloor

I remember this song mostly as the sample for "Gold Diggin Hoes".





Turf Talk - Bundle Bush

This got that Vallejo mob bounce to it. Turf talk was better when he wasnt yelling as much.
