Blast From The Past

So I am gonna repost some of my favorite posts from the past while I get well and get my blogging chops back up. Please know that the Bilal video is not the original one (they took that one down) but its the same song - just without the shade thrown at the drummer! LOL!! I hope you enjoy!!

[March, 2008]

I'm on a blast from the past type of vibe today yall. One of my favorite hip hop collectives was the Goodie Mob. Prolific and funky! See...you can be smart and hip at the same time.

Lord it's so hard living this life, a constant struggle each and every day. Some wonder why I'd rather die than to continue living this way....

We come from survivor stock yall. Come and get your soul food.




This song always brings a smile to my face! These two changed the game and influenced a generation.



I got three words: Boogie Down Productions




I INTERRUPT THIS PRESENTATION TO BRING YOU SOMETHING "RELATIVELY" NEW

I've played the fool before
Stared at the sun til it burned out my eyesight
Blind but a (wo)man must move on
No time for regrets
Who lives to rehearse


I needed that....

CARRY ON

Digable Planets! Howard University represent!!

This was my favorite joint by them - reminded me of Craig...er..um...Doodlebug back in the HU days on the yard.

Ladybug Mecca:
I'm 68 inches above sea Level
93 Million miles above these Devils!!!! Ya Heard!

You better do your thang Jazzy Joyce!
"On the wheels no ones smoova riding in a 94 land cruiser




This was the commercial smash...



Back to Bilal...Is it me or is the band (keyboard player)jacking up the changes? Is he giving the drummer the business about it? LOL!

Love and light yall,

bye4now!
