Deal With It!

This will always be funny to me. White Santa Claus is not for that bullshit!

10 Random Songs Wednesday

Doowhop by Blu feat. Planet Asia & Killa Ben The rest of the Jesus LP is pretty hit and miss but this track is one of the best Hip-Hop songs of 2011. It was produced by the Alchemist.

Steppin' To The A.M. by 3rd Bass I used to have the Cactus Album on tape and this song stayed in heavy rotation, well at least it did in my room when I was 12. These guys were nothing like the Beastie Boys which were at the time the only other white act in Hip-Hop.

Lose Your Way by Nicolay feat. Carlita Durand This song is what being happily single on a Friday night at the start of summer sounds like. Carlita Durand has such a pretty voice.

Popcorn Love by New Edition Some songs just make you happy when you hear them. For me this is one of those songs.

Dare by Stan Bush This is the other Stan Bush song on the Transformers The Movie Soundtrack. It is so fantastically cheesy that if you are driving when it comes on you might start speeding.

Glaciers Of Ice by Raekwon, Ghostface Killa & Masta Killa I heard this song on St. Louis' underground Hip-Hop show on KDHX and went to Chestefield Mall the next day and bought the cassette single. Nobody was touching the RZA at this time. Masta Killa's verse was and is still my favorite on the song.

Get Up by Amel Larriex When I worked in commercial radio, I loved it when songs like this made it into rotation. The second single she put out from the Infinite Possibilities album was a remix to "Sweet Misery" which also made rotation. Neither of these songs were big hits but at least the station where I was working gave them a shot.

Best I Ever Had by Drake There was a time when Drake was somebody people rooted for. That was a long time ago. This is still a great song and the video which featured all of those light skinned girls with big titties was pretty fantastic.

Other Side Of The Game by Erykah Badu This is one of those songs that will never get old because the groove is undeniable. That said, it is a song about a woman who is in love with a fool who would rather sell dope to support his growing family because it is easier than getting up everyday and going to a legit job.

Your Hands by Marsha Ambrosius If I was still making slow jam tapes like I did back in the day, this song along with so many others off of Late Nights & Early Mornings would be on there. I hope we don't have to wait to long before we get another album from her.

Meet Rep. John Fleming (R-La)

"By the time I feed my family, I maybe have $400,000 left over" This is his explanation on why as a “small business owner” he can’t afford a tax increase. He was not making a joke, he was dead serious. Even Latrell Sprewell thinks this guy is out of touch.

Who Greenlights This Foolishness?

Between Gucci Mane and Master P, I hope this movie will have English subtitles so the average person will be able to understand what is going on. The constant flow of movies like this is why I can't bring myself to be angry at Tyler Perry movies.
