The day she introduced me to this song, it changed my life.
OK, I exaggerate. But only slightly.
Two nights ago, a very esteemed colleague and savvy Hip-Hop head stopped by my lair briefly to re-up on and talk about new music. What was meant to be a 5 minute chat and hard-disk swap followed by due daps and “Tell the wife I said ‘Hi’” type exchange turned into an in-depth...

The remaining members of Goodie Mob were dead wrong for signing off on this promo pic during the One Monkey… days. But goddamn that shit is hilarious to me right now. I was kinda shocked when my consigliere had never heard “They Don’t Dance No Mo’.” Remember the video where they were knuckin’ around, mimicking club patrons? Yeah, I still do that dance now. And...

With a mix of my words, loose quotations & Mike’s own words, here’s a brief synopsis for those of you video-impaired by your jobs.
1. Talent & ambition go together.
2. Respects Soulja Boy as a businessman. Good jingle music. Traditional Southern dance songs.
3. Doesn’t like people complaining about good music not being out there. 30 year olds don’t buy rap music....

That’s right, Freaky Fridays is back snitches. And when you’ve got an OG EPMD jump-off, you need a suitably legendary girl to carry it off. Jo Guest is that girl - she’s been getting her knick knack patty wacks out for discerning gentleman’s interest magazines since you were knee high to Bushwick Bill.

This album has managed to remain on my playlist for quit some time now; this song in particular.

The tale of success is...
