Remember Coolio’s single "Gangsta’s Paradise" from the Dangerous Minds soundtrack? EVERYONE knew this song and Coolio became a household name.
Looking back at this video, though, cracked me up because it’s so cheesy and over-the-top. Having Michelle Pfeiffer sit in front of Coolio while he overacts almost seems mean. I would be on the floor […]

Time for a flashback! This week’s Flashback Friday is featuring the Beastie Boys hit “Sabotage” which is off of their album: “III Communication.” It’s a great song with a mixture of rap and rock, making it so unique. Rolling Stone ranked this song #475 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time […]

This week’s Flashback Friday features Lauryn Hill’s song “Doo Wop (That Thing)” which was released off of her album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” It was a crowd pleaser and spent two weeks at the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100. Personally, it is one of my favorite Lauryn Hill songs. Enjoy your flashback!

Time for a flashback! This week’s pick for Flashback Friday is MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This” video. Who doesn’t love it? I know y’all just want to get up and put your Hammer Pants on. With the sampled beat of Rick James‘ hit “Super Freak” and the fun dance moves, it was simply irresistible. […]

I saw Boyz II Men on Don’t Forget the Lyrics the other day and it got me thinking about the “East Coast Family.” Yeah… remember that? Boyz II Men, Another Bad Creation and Bell Biv Devoe - gotta love the early 90s. Anyway, in honor of that, I’m putting up BBD’s “Do Me.”

Well, I wasn’t going to put this up but considering the fact that Vanilla Ice was arrested (and released). What was the erstwhile Robert Van Winkle arrested for? Domestic battery. So, now he can’t have any contact with his wife, Laura, except over the phone.
Oh well. In the meantime, here’s his big hit “Ice […]

It’s Flashback Friday time again and I’m putting up one of my favorite songs from the 80s. I think it is one of the best hip-hop songs of all time. Here’s Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock with 1988’s “It Takes Two.”
Have a great weekend!

Today’s “Flashback Friday” is “You Be Illin’” by Run DMC. This song is still off the hook, y’all. I don’t care what anybody says! Sure, they should be fined for total abuse of synth-sampling their voices at the end but the technology was new at the time and I ain’t mad at them. I just […]
