REMIX | Before You Walk Out of My Life

|
Pete Rock reworks Monica's classic single from her debut Miss Thang. These are the type of remixes I like; give me the same song remixed. No different vocals or multiple collaborators.

'02 | Are your eyes still green girl?

|

Ode to love from Mr. Sense and the 'one' Mary. Although his '02 effort, Electric Circus received harsh reviews, this song stands out. Mostly because of the unique video. This is the type of video your mom enjoys as well.

illist | Obama kills fly

|
That's G.

PBP | Ooooooooooooooh!?!?

|
So this is the excuse for T-Pain's nigroant chain? Whatever let's you sleep at night. Funny or not, T-Pain = THE Pain.

? | Ace boon......coon?!?!

Whose idea was it to create this moniker as the new term of endearment?

MESS | Tiny & Toya

|
Black Exploitation Television does it again with the highly-anticipated(?) Tiny & Toya. For those who try their darnest to stray from nigroance; Tiny is former Xscape member and present wifey to T.I.; Toya is the ex-wife and baby mama of proud-father-to-be(?) Lil' Wayne. This show will finally answer all those burning questions on everyone's mind:....Shoot me up once someone reveals them to me and the general public.

'93 | Cool Runnings

|
I totally forgot about this movie. A great 90skd favorite tells the story of four Jamaicans who surprise the world as competitors in the Olympic Winter games as bobsledders. Yup that, was the joke; black people, snow, ice, cold. Not really funny today huh? But a classic nonetheless. Starred the great John Candy in one of his last films, Leon, and 90s funny dude Doug E Doug.Loosely based on a true story.

411 | Browns' Stallworth gets 30....

|
....Days that is in the death of a construction worker. According to CNN, Donte Stallworth hit and killed Mario Reyes back in March. Stallworth was driving under the influence at the time. In conjunction with the sentencing he and the Reyes family agreed on a settlement and Stallworth will seve two years of house arrest. So far he remains on the Browns roster and will play next season. I know we never wanna see a brother become a part of the system, but thirty days for taking someone's life. Inadvertenly nonetheless, but we all know the risk we pose when we get behind the wheel after drinking. Now thinking bout it though, thirty days in jail do not compare to a lifetime of guilt he will have to endure every morning.

'99 | Ain't that Brandy's brother?

|


The only other track by Mr. Norwood I can honestly admit to enjoying publicly. It probably mostly has to do with the Neptune. But I digress.

'93 | I have a real man problem

|


I really don't know why our parents let us listen to this. I couldn''t have been more than six years old. The only song I remember from Queen of the Pack.

'99 | You remind of a West Side Story

The other single from Santana's monumental album Supernatural. "Maria Maria" featured Wyclef and the unknown the Product G&B. The whole Spanish Harlem soul vibe made for one of the best songs that year.
