ROFL don’t ask me where this came from, but I promise you, I was walking around my house randomly singing this song and I was like, “Oh snap, Black Men United!”

This was taken from the Jason’s Lyric soundtrack and was written by D’Angelo if memory serves me correctly. According to the video, there were over 42 men that song on this track, including a deceased Gerald LeVert, Intro, H-Town and such stars at Lenny Kravitz on guitar, Tevin Campbell, Boyz II Men, the list goes on. It came out in 1994.

I gotta say, not that I’m suggesting they remake this song (God NO!) but if they did, I’m sure the vocals could be a bit better and the song could go a lot further. This song definitely didn’t have the power and “oomph” that “We Are The World” (the original!) or “Self Destruction” had. It was still a great thing though. Remember when “Black on Black” crime was all we had to worry about?

That DeBarge family was/is amazing! After posting that amazing video of El DeBarge singing “Time Will Reveal”, it got me back on my DeBarge ish. Well, Switch is the band of their older brother Bobby DeBarge and also brother Tommy. Bobby had an amazing voice as well, and Jermaine Jackson discovered them and the band changed their name to Switch because of their ability to switch and play different instruments.

Bobby died years ago (his birthday was this week too), but this song is still a classic. That falsetto, man, people would pay for that these days. They really don’t make FAMILY bands like this anymore LOL. Or R&B singers. These fools played instruments, wrote songs, produced their own records and sung the hell out of them!

The 2nd song performed in the clip is another chart hit they had, “I Wanna Be Closer”. Now THAT is a love song!

RIP good music LOL.

I won’t lie, I love this song. I listen to the Sounds of Blackness ALL the time. I miss those Ann Nesby days, but their catalog is amazing!

However, this song right here….the video is mildly amusing, but what is even more amusing is Craig Mack’s verse, which the video sadly doesn’t have.

Anyway, get into this. Whatever happened to that Bad Boy Gospel album that Hezekiah Walker was putting together?

Yep, ya know dis! /Rihanna

I promise you, I was talking to someone last night and I was like, “WAIT! It’s March 1st already!” February shouldn’t even exist. It’s such a short month. Who invented that short bus with the helmet on month!? What’s the point!

Bone Thugs…this was the joint! Anyway, this is a hood classic and I’m sure I don’t need to say anything. LOL, who got some food stamps? I got that $50 for that $100 in stamps (or EBT!). Holla @ me!

Happy Monday. I woke up thinking it was Saturday — terrible.

I don’t think a lot of people were too tough on this 2000 De La Soul release Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump, but it had this song and the Chaka Khan assisted “All Good?” which I loved. What I more so loved than the Prince Paul beat was the music video for this joint.

If you don’t know, “The Wiz” is my MOVIE. So anything channeling that gets points LOL. I thought it was a pretty funny take on the movie. Rah Digga as Dorothy and De La Soul as the other characters and Redman as The Wiz made me smile everytime.

Rah Digga is rapping again too — check out her song “Warning Shots” produced by Nottz, who is doing a whole album with her that’s due in June. I’ve always liked Rah’s tone and the rasp in her voice is just SO hip-hop to me.

It’s Friday…all I wanna do is party too Redman!
