Daily Throwback: Palin Rap

This doesn't get old. It's actually funnier now.

"How's it go eskimos?" "Ice Cold!"

Daily Throwback - Citizen Cope: Sideways

Daily Throwback: Lucy Pearl "Dance Tonight"

This song takes me back. If you haven't heard of the short-lived Lucy Pearl, it was a group formed in 1999 as the brainchild of former Tony! Toni! Toné! member Raphael Saadiq and D'Angelo, both of which are in my top ten for neo-soul singers. However, D'Angelo backed out of the group due to scheduling conflicts. The other members of Lucy Pearl were Dawn Robinson of En Vogue and Ali Shaheed Muhammad ,formerly of A Tribe Called Quest.

This was their biggest hit.

Daily Throwback: The Roots feat. Common - Act too (Love of my life)

One of my favorite songs.

What?
Hip-Hop y'all, to the top y'all
Hip-Hop check it out
It's like that, and it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
We bout to take it to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the check it out
Yo, what? And it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
I'm bout to take it to the top, what?
Hip-Hop (hip-hop love)
To the top (to the top) hip-hop, check it out
It's like, word up, and it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life (of my life)

[Black Thought]
The anticipation arose as time froze
I stared off the stage with my eyes closed and dove
into the deep cosmos
The impact pushed back, the first five rows
But before the raw live shows
I remember I'se a little snot-nosed
Rockin Gazelle, goggles and Izod clothes
Learnin the ropes of ghetto survival
Peepin out the situation I had to slide through
Had to watch my back my front plus my sides too
When it came to gettin mine I ain't tryin, to argue
Sometimes I wouldn'ta made it if it wasn't for you
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life and that's true
When I was handlin the shit I had to do
It was all for you, from the door for you
Speak through you, gettin paper on tour for you
From the start, Thought was down by law for you
Used to hit up every corner store wall for you
We ripped shit, and kept it hardcore for you
I remember late nights, steady rockin the mic
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

So tell the people like that y'all (that y'all)
And it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
We bout to take it to the top..

[Common]
Yo, yo I was speakin, to my guy 'Riq and
How she was desperately seekin to Organize in a Konfusion
Usin, no protection, told H.E.R. on _Resurrection_
Caught in the Hype Williams, and lost H.E.R. direction
Gettin eight/ate in sections where I wouldn't eat H.E.R.
An under the counter love, so _Silent_-ly I _Treat_ H.E.R.
Her Daddy'll beat H.E.R., eyes all Puff-ed
In the mix on tape, niggaz had her in the buff
When we touch, it was more than just a fuck
The Police, in her I found peace (like who?)
Like Malcolm in the East
Seen H.E.R. on the streets of New York, trickin off
Tried to make a hit with H.E.R. but my dick went soft
Movin weight, losin weight, not picky - with who she choose to date
To confuse the hate, with her struggle I relate
Close to thirty, most of the niggaz she know is dirty
Havin more babies than Lauryn, she started showin early
As of late I realized, that this is H.E.R. fate
Or destiny that brings the best of me
It's like God is testin me
In _Retrospect_ I see she brought _Life_ and death to me
Peace to us collectively, live and direct when we perform
It's just coffee shop chicks and white dudes
Over H.E.R. I got into it with that nigga Ice Cube
Now the fight moved to in life, makin the right moves
Besides God and family, you my life's jewel
Like that y'all
Hip-Hop.. [echoes]

[whispered]
Take it to the top, what? Hip-Hop (hip-hip)
To the top, hip-hop (hip-hop) check it out

[Black Thought - louder]
It's like, word up, and it sounds nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life, what?
Bout to take you to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the, yo
Fifth Dynamite, and it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
I'm bout to take you to the top love
Hip-Hop, word up, to the top (to the top)
Hip-Hop, check it out
It's like that, what? And it sounds alright
Hey, cause you the love of my life
I'm bout to take you to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the, check it out
What? Yeah, and it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
Bout to take you to the top love
Hip-Hop (hip-hop) to the top (to the top) hip-hop (hip-hop)
Fifth Dynamite, and it sounds alright
Hey, cause you the love of my life
I'm bout to take you to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the

To the to the to the to the, check it out, yo
Ye-yeh-yo, yo, and it sounds so nice

Daily Throwback: The Cool Kids "Black Mags"

Call it a new classic.

Daily Throwback: Dead Prez "Mind Sex"

I'm a big fan of this unexpected love song by Dead Prez. They are one of the illest groups to preach issues such as school systems, political persecution, nutrition, discipline, community leadership, and in this joint, the emotional connection necessary for love, something which should be established before you strap-on a condom and go to town.

I think a lot of people could listen to these lyrics and take to heart the sentiments expressed. This is a rare hip hop gem, and its lessons would solve a lot of relationship complications.

Its time for some mind sex, we aint got to take our clothes off yet
We can burn the incense, and just chat
Relax, I got the good vibrations
Before we make love lets have a good conversation

Shouts to Ms.A

Daily Throwback: Wale "Artistic Integrity"

Aight, before you jump on me about it, this is not exactly an old song. BUT, I'm stoked to go see Wale tonight (I'd put even money on Lady GaGa showing up in something ridiculous) and this song samples from Seinfeld, which is one of my (and Wale's) favorite shows and a definite throwback.

Enjoy

Daily Throwback: Gil Scott Heron "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"

You had to have seen this coming....

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
by mallox

"The revolution will not get rid of the nub."

Daily Throwback: Sexual Chocolate "I believe the children are our future"

Daily Throwback: Mr. Vegas "Heads High"

Check with me circa 8th grade. Used to play this loud.

Daily Throwback: Erykah Badu "On & On"

Erykah Badu is undoubtedly one of my two favorite female singers (Lauryn Hill being the other one, and only making the distinction because I have so many). I could write chapters on her soulful style, strong black-woman persona, earthiness, story-telling, etc. She's even a damn good actress. If you haven't seen her in Cider House Rules, you should get out and rent it (original book was written by John Irving, an Exeter grad).

Damn it, while I'm at it I'll just throw up a Lauryn Hill throwback too.

Daily Throwback: Slick Rick - Children's Story

Goofy as shit, but you can't deny the flow.

DAILY THROWBACK: The Roots "Proceed"

After a great deal of introspection and random surveying, I'm changing the "Old School Video of the Day" to "Daily Throwbacks."

Today: The Roots "Proceed" off of "Do You Want More?!!!??!" circa 1995.

Check out the early genius of the Legendary Roots Crew.

Couldn't help myself. Gotta post another old school video. The original Fugees. Why can't they just work it out?

Daily Throwback: A Tribe Called Quest "Electric Relaxation"

A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relax
by hushhush112

So as I post new stuff on the regular, I'm starting to think that I should post at least one old school song per day to keep it real with the roots of hip hop. Today, I'm going with Tribe's "Electric Relaxation." These cats are timeless, and some of the smoothest MCs in history.

"I like 'em brown, yellow, Puerto Rican or Haitian."

Bone Thugs N Harmony - Ghetto Cowboy

Ha! Used to love this video.
