…and seem to forget about the journey.”

Interesting quote if you ask me. Go read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho or The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. Enjoy today! Kiss your momma or your kid. Tell the important people around you that you love them. Try skipping (eff the people looking at you lol). And “Work like you don’t need the money, love like your heart has never been broken, dance like no one is watching, sing like no one can hear you, and live as though Heaven is on Earth.”

So, keepin in tune with that…today’s theme music to get your spirits up.

Old but classic…

Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions - “Keep On Pushin”

Timeless classic…

Soul II Soul - “Keep On Movin”

More recent and slept on in my opinion…

Nelly featuring Anthony Hamilton - “Nobody Knows”

And still in the same spirit, a video that deserves your time if you have four minutes to spare. Real soulful. Should work with Windows Media Player or whatever you’re using.

Mos Def - “Umi Says” Video

This is by request of Challenge My Mind. Respect due to the song and artist.

Otis Redding - “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long”

If 50 ever goes back at it like this, I’ll be his number one fan.

50 Cent - “Be A Gentleman” (Jay-z Diss)

Submitted by Juan

Marques Houston - “Sex With You”

And since Beyonce’s number one fan has joined the fold (Welcome back Toes!), I figured this was worth a re-up. It’s B and his crew peforming Jay’s cut “December 4th” from the Black Album as her birthday present to him. Creative and cute.

Decemeber 4th Video

And a new mixtape for you to ride to on this holiday weekend (one of these links should be working).

DJ Cipha Sounds - The Official Mixtape For The Streets (Hosted By Ghostface)

Food for thought. You do the dishes.

Aiight…alot of work to be done today so bear with us. First, let me knock out the requests.

DeBarge - “All This Love”

So, somebody needed some DeBarge. Of course we answer. It was too easy.

DeBarge - “All This Love”

DeBarge - “Time Will Reveal”

And I remember my sister puttin me on to this when I was like 8 lol.

DeBarge - “Love Me In A Special Way”

And just for the source of B.I.G.’s sample…

El DeBarge - “Stay With Me”

Case closed.

Moving on, another anonymous user wanted to question my statement that I “knew women…” and then went on to say “what song would u play to rekindle the fire..lets see what song u pick.”

Well, ma’am, I’d pick something appropriate. Something that fits my persona since I’m a hip-hop dude truth be told and at the same time should could vibe to. “Every good hero needs theme music” (What movie ya’ll?) so she’d picture me walking up with this playin in the background and then I’d spit something like “Let’s do some math. Add me and you together, subtract our clothes, divide your legs and multiply our orgasms.”

Talib Kweli feat. Bilal - “Can I Talk To You”

“Re” is a prefix that means “again” so I’d try something I know that the woman would definitely remember, a song that when played would immediately start the neurons in her brain to working (elsewhere if possible :))

Jagged Edge - “What You Trying To Do”

And then I’d hit’em with something like this.

Ginuwine - “Do You Remember”

Then, this JE cut is always a killer.

Jagged Edge - “He Can’t Love You”

Finally, I’d slay’em with…

Maxwell - “Suite Lady (The Proposal Jam)”

I mean how could you miss with a track that starts out with the lines…

“It’s been so long since I have had you lady/Since I have had your brown legs wrapped me”

Checkmate. Smooches :)

Juan called out the source on that Tevin Campbell “Break It Down” track so here you go.

Prince - “Shhh”

As well, she reminded me of this joint

Intro - “Come Inside”

A hip-hop classic.

Masta Ace - “Born To Roll”

And since he’s got a reality tv show now, might as well give him his props for being the original “King of R&B”…now, it’s in other areas lol.

Bobby Brown - “Tenderoni”

Bobby Brown - “Rock Wit’Cha”

New stuff….

I haven’t had the time to listen to this yet so give me feedback.

Trey Songz - I Gotta Make It (Advance)

Apparently, this guy is Jay-z’s first Down South signee to the Def Jam/Rocafella/whatever it is now label.

Aztek Mixtape

Peep ya boy’s name in his grill by clicking the pic and then check out his latest mixtape.

Paul Wall & Lt. Dan - It’s Going Down Mixtape

And the Guatamalean needed this
Paul Wall feat. Big Pokey - “Sittin Sideways”

Jimmy may be by far the grimiest lookin dude out right now but I swear he’s the truth.

His new song…

Jim Jones - “Baby Girl”

And if you got time, his new vid…

Jim Jones - “Baby Girl/Gees Up”

click picture for a link to the video.

And in the news, finally…

“B.I.G. Case Lawyer Says Police Confessed”

click picture for story.

And, I think it’s a wrap. I’ll take this for now…peep the name on it. Tone gave it to me ;)

Postcript - Keep the comments, witty remarks and requests coming! It’s what let’s us know you all are still there.

Aiight…I’mma slow it down a little to give Sir Pianomayn a chance to recouperate. Right now, I know the boy against the ropes and his corner slappin him, squirtin him with the water bottle and puttin vaseline above his eye. Plus, Chigyrl requested a cut or two so we’re gonna try to get that up. This girl brought up Shai (got it coming) and MEN AT LARGE lol. But we got her covered (I had to feed Tone that joint so gimme my props).

But her request brought me and Tone into a roundabout discussion that led to this joint. A slow drag classic.

2 D Extreme - “Cry No More”

…that right there should give me the 2nd round easily. But I ain’t one to rest on my laurels so here’s another worthy contribution, a video, at that. You’ll need Winamp again to view this.

Alicia Keys feat. Jamie Foxx and Quincy Jones - Live Performance at the 47th Grammy Awards (Video)

I can’t even front. After seeing the video for this, this joint is infectious.

Mike Jones - “Back Then”

To get you bouncin in your seat…

Mr. Serv-On feat. Mia X and Silkk The Shocker - “Head And Shoulders”

And there’s this lil Guatamalean gnat steady screamin in my ear about he needs new shit to keep him crunk and ahead of the game. Aiight, my son, I hope this helps. I got more for you comin up.

Three Six Mafia - Memphis Underground Elite (2005)

And to seal the deal and take this round, let me speak to the ladies.

Ladies, I’m versatile and I’m like Mel Gibson. I know “What Women Want”. I know you sat around on lonely Wednesday nights and then some Saturdays and you watched this movie each and every time it came on HBO. And if you did, you gonna know this cut…(and I bet you thought “Zora” was the one actually singin lol).

Melky Sedek - “Brooklyn”

If this was “Freestyle Friday” on 106 & Park, I’d drop the mic and walk away from competitor.

Show me love.
