Blasts From The Past

Ed O.G. & Da Bulldogs ~ I Gotta Have It



Loved these dudes. Well Ed O.G. anyway, can't recall any of Da Bulldogs spitting rhymes.

The Family Stand ~ Ghetto Heaven



I was watching VH.1 Soul and saw this video for the first time in about ten years! This was my jam. My husband Lonnie (better known to you guys as Common) has a sample of The Family Stand in his song Geto Heaven Part Two off the album Like Water For Chocolate.

A Tribe Called Quest ~ Jazz(We've Got)/Buggin' Out



Peace goes out to Phife Dawg, "The Funky Diabetic". I'm was so elated that he was able to make it the Hip Hop Honors. I'm praying that he gets better. The world is in dire need of ATCQ.


Common ~ I Used To Love H.E.R.



Look how young my baby looks! I think this is when he still had the "Common Sense" moniker. He ages like fine wine. One of my favorite odes to Hip Hop.

The Fab 5 ~ Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka



This was a feel good song, and The Fab 5 look like they were having fun making this video. Love the Temptation set-up and moves. Glad to see the Boot Camp Clik is still out there holding down the underground.

Lupe Fiasco ~ Dumb It Down

I love Lupe!
