Thanks DJ Sphere for the inspiration to put this one together...
Taking it to the late 80's/early 90's with this entry. This is one of the moments in Hip Hop where afrocentricity lived, where abstract, open minded lyricism flourished over jazz influenced beats! This is when Hip Hop was fun!
The Native Tongues included:
A Tribe Called Quest
De La Soul
Jungle Brothers
Queen Latifah
Monie Love
Leaders of the New School
Buddy - When I was younger, I had no clue what the hell buddy was, eventually I figured it out...lol, here's the whole crew in Buddy
"The Queen is hyped up...L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command!"
Taking it to the Queens side - This one is from one of my favorite ATCQ's albums, Midnight Maurauders. Electric Relaxation...I remember listening to this song in 7th grade on a school trip on my walkman...lol good times.
De La to the Soul - Me, Myself & I
Wow, Busta still dresses like a wierdo as he does in the Sobb Story - Leaders of the New School video
I would have normally put up Monie in the Middle, but I like the vibe of this one, It's A Shame - Monie Love.
Here we go yo, Here we go yo...
Scenario - A Tribe Called Quest featuring Leaders of the New School

Dedicating this one to the Minnesota Sound
Yeah, that's right Minneapolis brought you one of the sexiest men (that wore heels) in the 80's (oddly enough), Prince! So this blog is dedicated to the Minnesota sound of the late 70's/80's all ranging from Morris Day and The Time to Alexander O'Neal. So let's end this long ass week the right way!
Prince - I Wanna Be Your Lover (1979) - I Love his perm!
One of the groups Prince put on, Vanity 6 - Nasty Girl (1982)
BTW, Vanity (Denise Matthews) is now a born again Christian, no more nasty girl for her...lol
So after Vanity of Vanity 6 decided to do her solo thing, Prince put together a new group, Apollonia 6 - Sex Shooter
Morris Day..funny dude, here is Jungle Love - Morris Day & The Time
It's the weekend and it's all about that Saturday Love - Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle
Though she wasn't exactly from Minnesota, she was one of the artist Prince took under his wing, Sheila E. - Love Bizzare
Ending it off with Prince of course...When Doves Cry
One Love,

Throwback @ Noon - End of Summer Edition
I've been traveling a bit here and there but I thought I should get back on my video blogging...just a lil something to break the monotony and also to remind you that you are getting OLD...lol. Nah but this is all to put a smile on your face and resurface some fun memories. Hope you enjoy!
This is a good way to start it off with that New Jack Swing, shoulders swaying type music...Keith Sweat - Make You Sweat...
Self Destruction/Stop the Violence Movement with BDP & the East Coast All Stars - the West Coast's movement, "We're All In the Same Game" could not mess with the East Coast's version.
It's Rick James, bitch...do I need to say more...you have to be THE MAN to walk around with a mop on ya head and still get the ladies!
One Love,

One Love
This is the first entry featuring Whodini's "One Love." We have all experienced this in one point or time in our lives...
Now this one is for those that know what it is like to catch your loved one out with another person...this video is only Oran "Juice" Jones, "Rain"...This chick looked like a hot mess at the end of the video, but was looking fly (for 1986 standards that is) before she was caught out there with the other dude in the "Rain"..."I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce...You without me is like cornflakes without the milk..."...check out this next video from the original OJ...lol
Now this joint, is that New Jack Swing flava...Guy's "Groove Me"...one of my favorite New Jack Swing songs...to all my NY cats that have checked out the Freedom Fridays party at StarFoods, (now at Canal Room), this is a party favorite of mine...this reminds me of good times...
That's all for now, but check out a mix dedicated to the Native Tongue's (Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and many more) by my boy, DJ SPHERE (www.momm-ent.com)...take a listen to this mix while you are at work or at home...

Old School Hip-Hop and R&B Blog - Take One
This blog is dedicated to music...Hip-Hop and R&B that is...
Man, when I was younger, I remember taking my parents lil' boombox and stealing their Bobby Brown "Don't Be Cruel" tape and jammin' to it! LOL. And for all my folks in NYC, I remember the video music show, Hot Tracks and of course the lengendary Ralph McDaniel's show, Video Music Box on Ch. 25 (public access that is).
I have tapes and tapes of videos from Video Music Box and the 900 request show called, The Box and I have yet to be able to put that on DVD because of the time intensiveness of it all...but Youtube came along and solved all of that!
So the purpose of this blog is to post Old School Videos and allow you to reminince on the good times...this is for my 25 and up to remember and anyone younger this is a Video Music History lesson before videos were all about money, cars and hoes...ya feel me??
So enjoy...
