Vintage MC! Mariah Carey is one of my favorite singers ever. I had Vision of Love on cassette tape when I was ten years old. When she first came out she was mostly doing ballads, but as we entered the mid-to-late 90s, Mariah was real heavy on hip hop collabos. A pop star with a squeaky clean image doing collabos with artists like Nas, Old Dirty Bastard, The Lox, and Mobb Deep? I loved it! R&B with a twist of hip hop was always my favorite.

“The Roof” featuring Mobb Deep was one of Mariah’s dopest hip hop collabs. Mobb Deep is so hard, and Mariah’s voice is so sweet, the contrast is so stark and captivating.

Enjoy your weekend babies! See you Monday…until then catch up with me on Twitter @hiphopmuse. Mwah!
