I freaking used to love this song! Justins swag was on a hundred thousand trillion! I mean, the dude is actually C-walking!! And he's doing a video with Snoop and Charlie "last name" Wilson?! Come on! I've never been a Snoop fan, but I am quite fond of his songs when he collaborates with Pharrell and the Neptunes. Please enjoy!

Throwback Thursday: Goin Down
You know how sometimes a smell, a noise or sound can take you back to a special moment in life. Well this song is one of the songs that sounds like my time in college. I didn’t even know there was a video for it! These dudes had the hottest beats at that time! Most of there songs were produced by heatmakerz and this one may have been too! I always called this sounds the lil Jon of the east coast because it was so crunk but it really didn’t make you dance…just nod your head like crazy! Anywho, enjoy! Oh and shout out to the Mary J.B sample.

Throwback Thursday:Get By
"We commute to computers/Spirits stay mute while your egos spread rumors/We're survivalists, turned to consumers/Just to get by...just to get by"
This is the first song that I recognized by Kanye West that I fell in love with. He produced this track and i thought it (and the artist, Kweli) was dope. But I really didnt know much about either one. All i can remember thinking when i heard the song for the first time was how dope the beat was and wondering who produced it. So now when I hear this song, it reminds me of that old Savage Garden song with the lyrics along the lines of "I knew I loved you before I met you". Thats the way i obviously felt about Kanye.

Throwback Thursday: U Dont Have to Call
This is NOT my favorite Usher song, but my favorite Usher video! He is a wonderful dancer and that is about the only time I find him attractive. I can pass Usher on the corner and would NOT blink twice unless he was dancing!! I especially love the part at the end where he glides across the floor (4:51 mark) with his then unknown heeleys on! So dope! Anywho, enjoy!

I'm Fat!
Ok. So this is a combo of "throwback Thursday" and "Funny Fridays"! Me and my brother used to LOVE this video when we were kids! Even now as an adult when I watch it, it's STILL funny! And for you judgemental critics, this was NOT negative stab at Michael. Al actually called the king himself and MJ thought it would be a great idea! So now you enjoy as MJ did! Dueces!

Throwback Thursdays
When these girls first came on the scene, they swept the country away because we had never seen anything like it! It was like the supremes (minus the great vocals) meets Public Enemy. You had girls singing and rapping in baggy clothes but also presenting a message through their music. They are and will always be music icons in my eyes!

Throwback Thursday: I'll Bee Dat
This is without a doubt one of the BEST innovative and funniest videos! It's way ahead of it's time! Missy and Luda! are known for making fun videos, but they use a lot of special effects! This is just well thought out and planned out footage! And of course we all love the hot girl on the bike! Enjoy! And if you dare judge and say anything negative about me, well, I guess, "I'll bee dat!" LOL! Deuces!

My 100th blog!!!
Thank you for congratulating me on my one hundredth blog! This has not been easy, nor would I have made it this far if it wasn’t for my 3-4 loyal readers! Thanks to you! I’ve been racking my brain on what would be an awesome 100th blog and it finally hit me. I’ve decided to give you my favorite 10 blogs and a little insight on the inspiration for each blog. I also thought about doing my 10 worst blogs, but why would I do that? It may have been crap to me, but it may have meant something to you; the reader. So please take time to review my favorite blogs. Oh yeah, I seriously considered a video blog for the big 1-0-0, but I’m not ready to show my face to the internet world.
10. Jay-Z Did It-This blog gets special recognition for two reasons: First, it’s my first blog…sort of. And also it’s a scary twisted conspiracy theory. Not too many of you will even get this, but if you consider yourself a hip hop head, you may agree with me. I just came up with this “theory” after listening to several Jigga songs and my mind just went off. But again, if this idea got into the wrong hands, I could probably be in deep manure!
9. Gay: To be or not to be- This blog was sparked by the obvious title. I just wanted to give my point of view on whether people choose to be gay or if they’re born that way. As you can see, I can give no definite answer, but I think I bring up some interesting points.
8. Marge Simpson is Creole- Who knows where my mind was when this came to mind. I seriously can’t recall. I know for sure I was watching the Simpson and I think I noticed Marge went from curly hair to straight hair. I then remembered her last name was Bovier. From there on out you could not convince me that Marge is not Creole. Many have listened to my points and facts and while not one person has agreed I was right, everyone did admit everything I said was true. So why the denial?
7. Honor Music-This one is simple as well. Music is the driving force of anything I do. I must have it when I’m driving, drinking, working or whatever. I had to blog about my passion for music. Yeah, I had to.
6. I am Art- You ever hear artist (especially rappers) say they just poured their heart into an album? How vulnerable they were and how hard it was to get what they said out on wax? Well, this blog is like that. I do not nor have I ever considered myself a poet. But one day when I realized how complex I really was, the only thing that came to mind was this poem. I seriously just started thinking to myself and this is what came out. It was all of me, my heart and soul. It took a lot of courage for me to put this out there like that, so I hope you enjoy!
5. Twenty Questions- This one is in the top 5 because of it’s top 20. As mentioned in the blog I stole this idea from Vibe magazine, but the questions are all mine. It is not easy to come up with 20 questions, but I thoroughly enjoy doing so and this was my first, so of course I love it more than the other 20 questions blogs.
4. What Women Want- I just answered the question that seems to be such a great mystery. And I think I did a damn good job! The truth is trying to know what women want is like trying to be God. You can not know everything. But if there is a special someone you want to know more about, that do just that! Get to know her; not the species in which she is a part of.
3. Bootleggin Girls- “Militance, innocence, insight, listen to God, then write. Since my birthday I’ve been tight!” rapped Cee-Lo. That is what happened to me with this blog. I read something that sparked an idea, but where that idea went, I have no clue. I can honestly say this is one of those moments when I just “let go and let God”. I just reread this blog today, but if you were to ask me everything that was written a week ago, well, I couldn’t tell you. I basically blacked out when writing it. And the response I got from it was over whelming too! I received a lot of love for this blog that I was not used to.
“But since I’ve been granted the power of choice, let God be the voice he is.
So all the credibility is his. So let these be words of wisdom and in the same breath be warning. Son, I shine like Sunday morning!” Cee-Lo
2. Funniest Fridays- HA! This is my favorite because it’s funny as hell! Plus, it makes my number one pick look like a Hype Williams film!
1. MY first video- Now, why wouldn’t I pick the video I shot, directed and edited myself as number one? That would be crazier than the astronaut and pampers lady!
**Honorable Mention
*Self Control instead of Birth Control-It’s not what I blogged about, it’s what Common rapped about. Dude is too dope!
*Whoopi- Because I think Whoopi is the ish!
I DO hope you enjoyed this recap. For those this is new to, I hope you come back and again, thanks to all of my loyal readers and definitely God for giving me the knowledge and talent to write! Because I know its dope! Ok, let me be modest again: eh hem. Thanks to you all! Be blessed and don’t you dare judge me!

Throwback Thursday: Me, Myself and I
You know how when your younger you listen to songs but they don't me crap until you experience them? Well, this is one of the first songs I heard that I felt applied to my life. I was probably a freshman or sophomore in college and I just realize I got over my high school sweet heart. There were times when I felt like I would never get over that dude, but I did! Now, if I an only get this song to apply to my current situation, I should be straight. BUt as Bey says, "love is so blind it feels right, when it's wrong". Oh and I just love her part at the 1:45 mark. She sung that like it was the TRUTH. And although her baby daddy is associated with being a gangsta, Bey looked too gangsta at the end with the cigar!!! LOL! I absolutely loved it!

Throwback Thusday: HAY
With the unofficial underground holiday passing us by (4/20), I think it is only appropriate for us to pay homage to some guys who really put the Chi on the map:Crucial Conflict! Remember when you heard these guys for the first time? "That's Bone Thugs & Harmony"! " No it's not"! "They sound like Bone"! HA! Yall, know yall said the same thing! Regardless who they sound like, this song was a hit and guaranteed to make you start rapping along! Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday: Do It Again
I never got the hook of this song until I lived it! In the hook Jigga raps, "12am on my way to the club..." and so on. Now, if you live anywhere but LA or NYC, you're not making your way to the club at midnight. If anything, your butt has been there since 10 and you're probably about to bounce soon!
I seriously think that this song and video put something in my brain that made me so infatuated with NYC. If this doesn't have that gritty New York feel to it, I don't know what does. Enjoy this weeks throwback Thursdays video. Get out the house like the chic in the video if you dare judge!

Throwback Thursday: One Wish
He went from being Brandy’s cute lil brother, to “Ain’t that Brandy’s brother?” to his actual name, Ray J. Admit it, we’ve been knowing his name all along, but he wasn’t Ray J until he put out that infamous video of him and Kim Kardashian working it like two up and coming actors on cinemax after dark. I mean, there’s no doubt that he’s cute in a high school crush kind of way and there is no longer any doubt that he has a…well you know…he’s worth checking out. But there is still something about him you cant take seriously. Even in this video. The rhythm is good, melody is on point, lyrics are on a jr high level and very contradicting (he asks for one wish, but each wish changes with the hook), but we were all jamming it. I still don’t understand why dancing and pulling on his too little black tee in the rain seemed like a good idea at the video shoot, but enjoys this week’s throwback video. And don’t you dare judge Brandy’s brother.

Throwback Thursday: Tootsie Roll
With spring break upon us, is there any other song that should be played. I mean, fun at the beach! Let us not forget Freak Nic! Of course at the time when this was the "cool" thing to do, i was too young, but cant a sista dream? There is no way a damn chicken noodle soup or superman soulja boy could ever compare. This dirty summer dance song is like the Jay-Z of rap. There were other "booty" dance songs before and there were definetly plenty after, but none can compare. People still have fond memories of this song. What was your memory of chicken noodle soup? Stanky Leg? None, eh? Don't you dare judge me for taking yall ALL the way back with them nasty 69 boys!

Throwback Thursday: Beep Me 911
I STILL don't know where Magoo's ass is, but dang it bobby, he did a good job with this one. And oh my word, Timbaland! There is no way anyone can deny this beat. It is stupid crazy! Man, I wish I was down with Miss E. and Tim back then. Oh well. This video is very creative ( Missy always comes correct like a porn star) but don't you dare judge if you don't get it

Throwback Thursdays: Love is blind
I'm not one to judge (a lot) so if RiRi wants to get back with C.Breezy, I hope she's aware of the consequences. I watch Oprah. I watch Tyra. I know that abusive men don't only hit you once. They apologize, but they still beat that ass as long as you stay and allow it. But I aint tryna preach. This one's for you RiRi!
