Despite the tough economic times we’re in, I think this old school song is appropriate for my first Throwback video of the new year.
This song certainly captures the mood I’m in right now: I wanna be rich! At the same time, I am well aware that money isn’t everything.

Hey Sandra-
Happy Holidays! I’m writing to you because I know you have old school Fridays and I wanted to put in my request! I want to request “Kissing You” by Total! I completely forgot about this song until I heard it on the radio not long ago! I LOVED […]

One of my favorite rap groups back in the day was Brand Nubian. Grand Puba, Sadat X and that foine Lord Jamar had it all going for them: swagger, sex appeal and a lyrical flow that was undeniable.
Now a lot of people think this is easy as it looks

After hearing the classic “Be My Baby” on XM radio the other night, I decided to go on YouTube to see who sang this beautiful song. I assumed the group was white.
Imagine my surprise when I found out they were LSLH honeys!
I must have watched this video 20 times. Everything about the video […]

In my opinion, this is the greatest Hip Hop song ever released by a one-hit wonder.

“Superwoman” was the second single from R&B singer Karyn White’s self-titled debut album. Karyn White was the embodiment of the New Jack swing sound originally introduced by Teddy Riley.
Karyn’s first album went platinum on the strength of this #1 hit and other stellar tracks such as “Secret Rendezvous” and “The Way You Love Me” […]

Johnny Gill recorded this classic love ballad when he was only 18-years-old. This song has been remade by various artists over the years. But only Johnny Gill can sing it with such raw emotion and make us feel it.

Some of you may be too young to remember the hit 1975 TV series “Welcome Back Kotter”.
This is the show that launched the careers of John Travolta, who played the impossibly cute class clown Vinnie Barbarino, and Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs, who played sexy hs basketball star Freddie ‘Boom Boom’ Washington.
Of course none of these actors were […]

“If You Love Me” by Mint Condition is one of my favorite slow jams. Joyce Littel played this last night during the Quiet Storm. It took me way back. As Joyce would say, “ENJOY!”
Oh, by the way, the bald headed cutie is Toni Braxton’s hubby, Keri Lewis.

Remember back in the day when females were respected in Hip Hop? Now if a female wants to make a name for herself in Hip Hop she has to get implants and inject botox in her azz. Sad.

Her name is Darlene Ortiz. But 20 years ago, she was known simply as “Darlene”.
All Darlene ever did to earn her spot in the annals of Hip Hop history was pose half naked for the cover of her husband’s 2nd studio album.
Darlene’s image on the cover of Ice T’s 1987 album “Power” propelled sales […]
