muzikmonday

The other day I was going through some old blog posts from a few years ago. I stumbled across a blog called "Muzik Monday". It was a post of videos/songs that I liked or was playing at the time. As I listened to the songs, I thought to myself..."I kinda miss this dude."

So...I decided to bring it back.

I think with the old posts I listened to a lot of hip hop so that's what I posted most of the times. Now, I'll do it randomly based on any music that I come across. I still listen to a lot of hip hop but that's not all that I listen to. The MuzikMonday songs are just some songs that stood out to me that I heard over the past few days while listening to Pandora.

Lose Myself by Marsha Ambrosius

I'm a fan of Marsha's. This song was originally done by Lauryn Hill. I'm a HUGE fan of LBoogie. Very deep song. Listen to the words. (ps...come back Lauryn. lol)





My Favorite Thing - Ron Isley (Ft. Kem)

Good to see Mr. Biggs back on the scene. Very cool song. I like it!





We Belong Together - Mariah Carey


Me and Mariah...go back like babies and pacifiers. hahahah. I've never been a big fan of Mariah's but this album was sick. I always loved this joint from her. Very melodic. Very deep and meaningful song.




All I Do - Stevie Wonder


This is a classic. I remember my when my parents had this album (Hotter Than July). They would play this all the time. This is one of my favorite songs from the album




I Ain't No Joke - Eric B. & Rakim

Hip hop will always been on my playlist. And this was my theme song when I was a young kid. LOL. You can't go wrong with the greatest MC of all time...Rakim

muzik monday...Jill Scott

Music has...and always will be a passion of mine.

I was reading some old blog posts and I came across a Muzik Monday post. I realized that I haven't done a Muzik Monday post in more than 2 yrs.

As many of you know, I'm a huge hip hop head. But I don't listen to hip hop 24/7. One of my boys told me "At some point during the day, you've gotta smooth that thang out." And I do! One of my favorite artists is Jill Scott. I first heard Jill in 2000 when she dropped her debut album, Who is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol 1. It was crowned as a "neo-soul classic".

I've been a HUGE fan ever since. Jill has always impressed me with her melodic voice and crowd pleasing stage presence. I found it interesting that on her first album cover you could barely see her face. In an industry that would prefer to see skinny women, Jill wasn't a size 4 but she was...and still is very attractive to me. More importantly, she can sing better than MOST artists right now. If you compare her to Beyonce Carter or anybody else...she blows them away...literally!

Here are a few of my favorite joints from Jill that I'd like to share for your listening pleasure. Just press PLAY.


A Long Walk - a smoothed out neo-soul love song...
You're here
I'm pleased
I really dig your company
Your style, your smile,
Your peace mentality
Lord, have mercy on me
I was blind, now I can see...

Slowly Surely - Jill breaks down leaving undeserving love

I just don't know

Where i should go

So

Slowly surely

I walk away from

Self-serving

Undeserving

Constantly hurting me love

Deserting me love

You said, I said, we said

But

Crown Royal - sexual, erotic, sensual...all in 1 min 50 seconds. This song is TOO short but we love it!
Your hands on my hips pull me right back to
you, I
Catch that thrust give it right back to you,
you're
In so deep I'm breathing for you, you
Grab my braids arch my back high for
you your
Diesel engine, I'm squirting mad oil ah
Down on the floor til my speaker starts
to boil

All I - self explanatory!

Every time I close my eyes

All I dream about is makin' love

I can't even sleep at night

All I dream about is makin' love

It's just all the things I see when you're inside of me

That keeps my mind goin' crazy

I can't even think at night

All I dream about is makin' love to you

My Love - Jill speaks on a love that she lost...surprisingly. She wonders what happened and why they aren't together. "You know what it is! You know what it was." Classic line

Every time I close my eyes

All I dream about is makin' love

I can't even sleep at night

All I dream about is makin' love

It's just all the things I see when you're inside of me

That keeps my mind goin' crazy

I can't even think at night

All I dream about is makin' love to you

lyrics 2 go...

I love music. I'm a ole skool hip hop head to the core. I have nothing against some of these new cats who are on the scene. I just think that you have to put more effort into what you're talking about to get the results that you want. If you want to get drunk or get high before you write your verse, then you never know what that will do to your creativity. I don't knock cats for doing what they do. I just know that music ain't what it used to be. Damn...I sound like my pops.

We're gonna keep it real simple today. Today's vibe is gonna be a verse, a rhyme, or 16 bars from one of your favorite songs. It doesn't have to be rap. It can be r&B, country, rock, or poetry.

Here's mine. NaS...Ni***r (Slave and the Master)

[Verse 1]
We trust no black leaders, use the stove to heat us
Powdered eggs and government cheeses
The calendars with Martin, JFK and Jesus
Gotta be fresh to go to school with fly sneakers
Schools with outdated books, we are the forgotten
Summers, coolin off by the fire hydrant
Yeah I'm from the ghetto
Where old black women talk about their sugar level - it's not unusual
To see photos of dead homie's funerals
Aluminium foil on TV antennas
Little TV sit on top the big TV, eating TV dinners
Girls die their hair with Kool-Aid
They gave us lemons, we made lemonade
But this nigger's payed, ancestral slaves
Descendant of kings, it's necessary I - bling
Put rims on everything, where tims on every scene

[Chorus]

They say we N-I double G-E-R, we are
Much more, still we choose to ignore
The obvious, man this history don't acknowledge us
We were scholars long before colleges
They say we N-I double G-E-R, we are
Much more, but still we choose to ignore
The obvious, we are the slave and the master
What you lookin for? You the question and the answer

Have a good weekend

Hollatchaboi!!
