Song of the Day – ‘Wild Wild West’
Still in a Golden Age mood… Is this the first ‘themed’ video in hip hop? It was silly then, it’s still silly now. But Moe Dee sold it straight faced. Even the choreography… Enjoy!

#HipHopHistory
Another cause close to my heart… A Kickstarter has been set up to help establish the hip hop wing for Smithsonian’s African-American History Museum. It’s already a bucket list museum; this will only make it better. All the info needed to get involved is below: The Smithsonian Anthology of Hip-Hop and Rap is more than […]
R.I.P. Robert Guillaume
Just heard Robert Guillaume died. Sad day. GREAT character actor, Emmy winner. Best known as ‘Benson’, but he did Broadway, he did movies. He did the Lion King, he did Aaron Sorkin. He was the real deal. Rest in Peace sir. One of the first black actors I remember seeing on TV as a […]
Song of the Day – ‘Best Part’
Turned on to some new music today. I don’t pretend to be in the loop, but based on this, this kid is on my radar now. Right in my wheelhouse. Enjoy!
Song of the Day – ‘Insatiable’
The weekend is upon us. I haven’t heard any complaints about playing ‘catch up’ with the official Prince videos. And I highly doubt I ever will… Have a good one gang. Catch you on the other side.
Song of the Day – ‘U Can’t Touch This’
A 90s playlist provides today’s song choice. We’ve all gotten jokes and a half off this man (and these ridiculous pants). But if you’re old enough, you had the song and at minimum, you had some knock off of the pants. There’s no shame in admitting it anymore. Enjoy!
Song of the Day – ‘Somebody’s Watching Me’
The Halloween/creep factor of today’s video is a happy coincidence. Got hit with an 80s playlist today and this gem popped up. Have to chuckle because, in my entire life, I’m pretty sure this still holds the title for ‘We all know why this became a hit record, right?’ Enjoy!
Song of the Day – ‘Giving You the Best That I Got’
New week. There is a LOT that could be talked about/debated/expressed here, but for today at least, we’ll stick to music. The ‘For Malik’ mix threw this one at me. Not for the 100th time let me say, ‘Well done Spotify.’ Enjoy!
Song of the Day – ‘Stan’
Have to end this week with something from the catalog of the man who used his voice and platform to say what many are feeling. Not that I ever doubted where he stood but still when I saw the cipher… Have a good weekend gang!
Song of the Day – ‘Swagger Like Us’
A hip hop day on the playlists. On top of having four of the best of their generation, I especially like how the way the song is organized, thematically and lyrically, it sounds like a ‘one up’ contest. And good Lord, Tip brought it home at the end. Enjoy!
