This post was inspired by a brief AIM convo about Pastor Troy’s new mixtape Crown Royal. I mentioned that I haven’t listened to Pastor Troy since “Are We Cuttin,” and after watching the video, I remembered how hot this song was. Whatever happened to Ms. Jade? She was a dope lyricist.
Enjoy this week’s throwback vid, enjoy your weekend, and enjoy life!
Peace, love.
Kelis ~ 2000>>Kelis ~ 2010. Maybe it was the chemistry with her voice over Neptune beats, or the rainbow curls, or the angsty black girl vibe. Kelis’s music is still good, though I lost a bit of respect for her over the Nas/divorce thing. Personal feelings aside, Kelis is a dope artist and I’ll always love Kaleidoscope.
Hope everyone’s having a good week. Things have been shaky over here on the west coast; we had a pretty sizable earthquake in LA this week. It was a weird one too, it was more like a rolling wave rather than a big shake up. Oscar Grant’s murderer got off the hook on an involuntary manslaughter verdict. I hope Grant’s family gets proper due in a civil suit. Every dog has its day….
Its important to remember that as bad as things may get, it doesn’t stay that way. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad, you have to do bad to do good….check out today’s throwback video to hear the inspiration behind my words. Until we meet again…have a great weekeend, and stay positive!
Peace.
I decided to post this video because the mantra is so true – if you stay ready, you ain’t got to get ready. Suga Free gave up so much game on his aptly named album Street Gospel, it deserves a thorough listen based on the strength of knowledge and game. A lot of shit he talks about goes over most peoples’ heads…it’s one of those things where if you can’t decipher the messages presented through tales of pimping, it’s not really for you. But if you can appreciate a real nigga chopping game, its worth a listen.
Peace..be safe…have a wonderful weekend.
This is one of my favorite LL Cool J songs of all time…such a sexy and summery vibe. Enjoy your weekend!
This week’s throwback video is inspired by Lil Kim, and her supposed beef with Nicki Minaj. What’s rap beef if it isn’t on wax? Kim needs to air out her grievances in the recording studio. Seriously, why take shots at Nicki Minaj? She’s not even on Kim’s level yet. All this complaining makes Kim sound like a bitter old lady.
But we know its all publicity. So here’s to creating buzz out of nonsense. Lighters up!
Have a great weekend!
Pimps have a colorful reputation, for both good and bad reasons. I’ve always been intrigued by the nature of a pimp, someone who influence others to do things (or not do things) simply by spitting game at them. Whether its pimping hoes, pimping the system, your job, or whatever, we can all learn something from a pimp. We can’t really hate the player, just the game.
“Pimp of the Year” is one of our theme songs at work…its one of our main musical reference points. Working for a company, they’re pimping us, we’re pimping them…its an even exchange. Daaaaaaamn…pimp on…..
Have a wonderful weekend! Mwah!

Scarface is in my top five favorite rappers, hands down. I listen to his greatest hits album pretty regularly, especially when I’m feeling emo.
What makes this song so great? The fact that its really nasty, and it about straight up fucking. Sometimes you want to make love, sometimes you just want to fuck. Nothing personal…it’s just about pure physical pleasure.
Have a wonderful weekend..I hope everyone gets some cutty! Use protection..and if you don’t, name it after me!
I love southern rap. I have a preference for Texas rap, but I love me some New Orleans style rap music. It’s so thick, slow and syrupy, with heavy bass. Cash Money used to be my shit, they were like the Wutang of the south. For a good three year time span, Cash Money couldn’t be fucked with. During their reign, everyone in the Cash Money clique dropped an album on an independent label, and those units moved like weight. Eventually their stronghold on the rap game let up, but Lil Wayne came back and took over hip hop. But before Lil Wayne, the Cash Money conglomerate all began with one Juvenile.
Enjoy your weekend, loves!

“Freak Like Me” is one of my personal anthems. Every girl has a few theme songs in her music library, this is one of mine. When this song released in 1995, I was way too young to be anyone’s freak, but I’m sure you can sense by now I was fast. Thankfully I’ve gotten most of the hot assness out of my system (mostly!).
This video is really dope because it was shot on Crenshaw back in the day when it was THE place to kick it. Hitting the ’shaw with the homies was akin to going to the club…mad people, mad music, mad cars. People from all over the city would hit the ’shaw on weekends, especially on Sundays, to floss and mack. I know a few people who met their baby daddies/mamas on Crenshaw.
On that note, enjoy your weekend babies, we’ll chat on Monday. Peace! XOXO
