We heard this a few days ago and again yesterday and again today…Although we both feel different about it, we can go on comparing from “The Fugees” L-Boogie to her “rock” style performances, on to “Repercussions”, and now her newest “Neurotic Society”. I remember seeing her at Rock the Bells a few years ago and her performance was more on the rock tip…I thought it was dope, while half of the crowd was booing her. Then we saw her about 2 years ago and she seemed to be her old self, just pregnant! Lol. I’ve always loved her as an artist and most definitely respect her work…How do you feel about this new Ms. Lauryn Hill?

way back wednesdays – 90′s hip hop video mix
Came across this gem recently…a video mix of 90′s hip hop mixed by Shortkut. With all the new music that has come out, it’s always a breath of fresh air to take a trip back to the 90′s! At least it is for us…A dope mix to listen to and a treat to watch! Thanks Short!

way back wednesdays – nobody does it better
It’s so crazy how fast time flies…Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of yet another person taken too soon. Nate Dogg blessed us with so much music in his time, we could never forget him. As we continue to enjoy his music, it also reminds us of how much we need to appreciate life, love and each other. Live Life.
R.I.P. Nate Dogg

way back wednesdays – ’98 freestyle part 1
This Way Back Wednesday we take you back to 1998 with one of my favorites: Big L’s “’98 Freestyle” off his album ‘The Big Picture’ released in 2000 after his death in 1999. Another rapper taken too soon, he definitely left his mark with the music he created in such a short amount of time.

mixtape mondays – whatupdoe
Well everyone, it’s getting closer to the time of the year where we get to celebrate the life of James “J Dilla” Yancey…DILLA MONTH! Although throughout the year, his presence is known, felt and most definitely appreciated, there are the 2 days we respectfully acknowledge; his birthday, Feb. 7, 1974 and the day he began resting peacefully, Feb. 10, 2006. We have been overwhelmed with the amount of remixes and mixes DJs have put together of anything and everything Dilla had his hands on, and I can honestly say we NEVER get tired of old ones and look forward to hearing new ones. On that note, here is a 35 minute mix DJ Rhettmatic put together a while back called “WHATUPDOE”. Short and sweet…Thank you Rhettmatic, and Thank you Jay Dee.
Check out what Rhett had to say about this mix after the jump…
