Throwback Thursday: You're All I Need

Yay!! It's throwback Thursday!! I love this segment so much, I wish I could do it everyday, but then it would just get redundant. Anywho, in honor of Lovers day, I decided to feature a video about love. Truth be told, I did want to play the obvious "Cupid" by 112, but then I was like "Naw, that's mushy still in the romance stage". True love of course is when the "thrill" is gone and you will still want to be with that person. The video and song leave no doubt in my mind that it deserved the Grammy it received. This man ( the always thuggish, but so damn cute) did a rap to show how much he loves his girl. It's not the traditional "ride or die" chic, but it's also not the "ooh wee, baby" crap. He says stuff like," Even when the nights were gray, you would rub me on my back and say, baby it'll be ok". He's pointing out the small things that means so much to him. Not the good looks or good head! That's why he went through hell in the video, just to get her some tampons. I don't care what anyone says, it takes a real man to pick up that kind of stuff. Hell, I didn't start buying my "girly" products until I was in college! And can it get any better with old skool "cracked out" Mary on the track? No, it can't. Please enjoy this weeks throwback video. And don't you dare judge this classic!

***I had the hardest time trying to find a link for this video, so the video in question is the blog above.
