Big Daddy Kane – Smooth Operator
BDK was always the man when it came to both the guys who wanted to be as cool as him and the girls who wanted to be with him!
Candyman – Knockin Boots
I always thought this was an awesome use of a sample, even though as a girl, I’m not sure why I thought this was a love song!
Heavy D. – Is It Good To You
Heavy D was that guy! There was just something about this particular song that transcended all age groups. It was one of those tracks that you could listen to no matter who was in the car. Even your big mama wouldn’t make you cut it off! Mine popped her fingers to it a time or two!
Dana Dane – Love At First Sight
This was an obscure one by Dana Dane that you had to have the entire album to hear! But I used to put it on slow mixes all the time!
Foxy Brown Featuring Blackstreet – Get Me Home
Another great sample and Blackstreet is a perfect compliment to Foxy!
Jay – Z Featuring Foxy Brown & Babyface –
This one was one of my first Jay – Z favorites back in the day because I loved Foxy Brown on this track! “Double cross you they gotta tripple cross me baby!” I think there will be some kids out here who’ve never even heard of it! Yes kids there was life before The Blueprint!
LL Cool J – Hey Lover
This one speaks for itself, Mr. Cool J talking about taking someone’s girl away is nothing novel, but doing it with the help of Boys II Men, that was a new dimension!
MC Brains – Brain Storming
MC Brains was a big part of the Biv 10empire which featured acts like Boyz II Men and ABC.
Method Man And Mary J. Blige – I’ll Be There For You/ You’re All I Need To Get By
No explanation needed!

Youngsters take heed!! This song is super on point! Rick The Ruler spoke straight truth o this track!
The Fugees – Killing Me Softly
Another one that needs no explanation! One Time!
The Roots Featuring Erykah Badu – You Got Me
This song only made me love both The Roots and Erykah more!
UTFO – Ya Cold Wanna Be With Me
This song was supposed to be a love song, but if you listen to what they are actually saying in their verses instead of the hook, I’m not so sure I’d feel happy with anyone saying those things to me! Actually, I’m very sure! Listen closely! UTFO was always ahead of their time!
(AllHipHop News) Houston rapper Riff Raff, a former Soulja Boy associate and contestant on MTV’s From G’s to Gents reality show, has been making some high-profile collaborations recently according to Pitchfork. A publicist for the Internet video star confirmed that he has recorded tracks with both Drake and A$AP Rocky.

(AllHipHop News) Lil Wayne is under intense scrutiny for a rap lyric that blatantly disrespects the memory of Emmett Till, a young boy that was murdered in 1955 for whistling at a white woman.
The rapper appears on the Future song “Karate Chop,” where he proclaims he would beat up a woman’s private parts like Emmett Till.
Epic Records has already released a statement indicating that they are pulling the remixed record, which was apparently leaked to the internet.
“We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future’s `Karate Chop,’ which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics,” the statement said. “Out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family and the support of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. … we are going through great efforts to take down the unauthorized version.”
Another version of the song is coming out without the reference to Emmet Till. The move corresponds with the wishes of the family.
Earlier this week, the family of the Till family has released a statement expressing their outrage at the lyric.
Airickca Gordon-Taylor, founding director of the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation, said the song is “disappointing, dishonorable, and outright disrespectful to our family.”
“My agenda is not to be disrespectful to Lil Wayne, even as much as I feel he’s been disrespectful to my family. We just want Emmett’s name removed from that song. That entire segment is very misogynistic and promotes domestic abuse toward women by our own race.” Gordon-Taylor told the Sun-Times on Wednesday.
“But it also shows total disregard of where you’ve come from. He wouldn’t even be out there rapping these stupid lyrics without the sacrifice Emmett made. Personally, I think Lil Wayne should just go ahead and apologize to my family. It’s hurtful.”
(AllHipHop News) When Kanye West was apart of one duo he once asked “who gon’ stop me, huh?” TSA gave the Kanye and Kim Kardashian (KimYe) duo that answer when the celebrity parents-to-be had their plane delayed due to bypassing security clearances at New York City’s John F Kennedy airport.
Returning from their samba-filled Brazil trip with Will Smith and Duane Martin Tuesday (Feb. 12), the power couple received some unauthorized help reaching their connecting flight to LAX from an opportunistic American Airline staff member.
“An airline employee escorted the two travelers through a non-public area,” says a spokesman for the Transpiration Security Administration (TSA) “in order to provide expedited access to their domestic flight.” Since the unnamed airline employee “violated security protocol” KimYe’s connecting flight was delayed an hour while TSA “conducted a private screening of the two passengers in the area of the jetway.”
It’s not all love and appreciation for the reality show beauty and the microphone beast recently. Ms. Kardashian’s laywer in her pending divorce case with ex-husband Kris Humphries claims the Brooklyn Nets star is holding the case “hostage” because of alleged “uncooperative third parties,” according to a report from E! Online. Humphries’ camp attributes the delay to Kris’ legal right to be present during Kim’s deposition, however his basketball season lasting until mid May complicates Kim’s request for an expedited trial in order for the divorce to be finalized by the time she gives birth in July.
Her other half has drawn the critical ire from lauded electro-house producer (and frat house legend) Deadmau5 in a recent interview with VIBE. When asked whom the Canadian musician would like to design a live show, he responded frankly with “Anyone other than f—ing Kanye. I f—ing hate him.”
The G.O.O.D. Music general is working on his as-of-yet untitled follow-up to his 2010 classic My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy with past collaborators The-Dream and Malik Yusef both praising the new recordings.
(AllHipHop News) Lil Wayne sparked a controversy this week when his verse on Future’s “Karate Chop (Remix)” began circulating the net. Wayne has a line on the song were he makes a reference to the Emmett Till, the 14-year-old African-American from Chicago, who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955.
“Bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels/Beat that p—y up like Emmett Till,” rapped Lil Wayne on the song.
Till’s surviving family members put out a statement saying that they felt the line was offensive and disrespectful, and wanted the song to be edited so that was not any mention of Till’s name.
Airickca Gordon-Taylor, director of the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation, told the Chicago-Sun Times, “My agenda is not to be disrespectful to Lil Wayne, even as much as I feel he’s been disrespectful to my family. We just want Emmett’s name removed from that song.”
Gordan-Taylor reached out to civil rights leader Jesse Jackson to help her foundation contact representatives of Lil Wayne to discuss getting the Till line removed. Jackson was able to conduct a conference call with the head of Future’s record label, L.A. Reid.
Reid told Jackson that the version of the song featuring Lil Wayne was leaked, and that the official release will not have the Emmett Till reference. The Mamie Til Mobley Memorial Foundation Facebook page also posted that Reid personally apologized to the family.
The AP is reporting that Epic Records released a statement Wednesday evening saying that the label is attempting to pull the leaked remix version of “Karate Chop.”
“Out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family and the support of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. …we are going through great efforts to take down the unauthorized version,” the statement read. Epic does plan to release an official version of Future’s song without the lyrics referring to Till.
The legacy of Emmett Till is a very sensitive topic for many in the African-American community. While visiting family in Mississippi, Till was murder by local residents for whistling at white woman. The killers shot Till in the head, gouged his eyes out, and wrapped his body in barbed wire before tossing him into the Tallahatchie River.
Mamie Till, Emmett’s mother, insisted the her son have an open casket funeral so the world could see the bigotry and violent nature of the segregated south. The horrific pictures of Till’s beaten body were widely published in the black media and helped initiate the Civil Rights Movement.
(AllHipHop News) Rapper/reality show star Jim Jones was arrested outside His home in New Jersey, and charged with disorderly conduct after an altercation with a police officer.
According to reports, the incident started when a police officer responded to a complaint of a snowbound car, illegally parked in front of the rap star’s house in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.
Jim Jones decided to confront the officer over the car, and when the rappers name was run through a database, it was found that he was wanted for two outstanding warrants.
One warrant was for a motor vehicle violation, and the other one, ironically, was for failing to remove snow from his sidewalk.
The rapper allegedly became belligerent and disorderly, when the officer asked him to come to headquarters to settle the outstanding warrants.
“If [people with outstanding warrants] agree, we’ll just have them come down and pay what they owe,” Bastinck said, “but if they don’t agree, they’re placed under arrest,” Lt. Derek Bastinck told Patch.
