It's just another day drownin my troubles with a forty

That's when I got the call from this brownskin shorty

She asked me where's my crew at? Said we could do whatever

She got her crew too, and said that we should get together

I said, "Aight -- just call me back in a hour

so I can take a shower and gather up the manpower"

Then I hung up the horn

And I thought to myself that it might be on

You gotta love it

The Chi-lites "Have you seen her"

This a first on this blog.. posting a nice classic oldie. What can i say about this track. I remember riding in the car with my dad listening to this kind of shit. At the time, I didnt really care for music like this. Now its a whole different story. Before this blog I loved hip hop in every aspect and this blog kind of made me love it even more. Its made me appreciate other genres such as jazz and old r&b tracks that have had a huge influence on what hip hop is today. Whether it be oldies like these or old school jazz tracks its all fucking so good. Music back then was so soulful and just amazing. The intro to this song is so fucking sick. songs like this are like wine.. the older the better.








Bonus  (Kool & the Gang - Get Down On It)

Questlove - "Goodbye Isaac"

Quest love from the roots.  Its amazing how talented this guy really is.  Quest is like a master of beats and drums without him the roots would not be the same.  Im really diggin this smooth mellow beat by quest and all the small things in this song.  The way he slows it down a bit and starts it back up again is fucking genius.  Props to quest for this dope track

Rashad & Confidence - Understand

"If you dont understand how to make a classic lp, then you dont really understand what it takes to MC."  Rashad and Confidence coming with the dope track.  The message of the whole song is what makes this song so special to me.  What happened to the artist that put their heart and soul into their music.  The game today is just full of watered down tracks that are wack as fuck.  Props to all the artist out there putting their blood sweat and tears into making good music.

A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum

What more can I say about a tribe called quest?  I just finished watching the ATCQ documentary and it was really dope and if you love tribe I recommend watching it.  Its sad that a group as influential and ground breaking as ATCQ had to come to an end.  At the end of the day they will forever go down as one of the best rap groups to ever exist.  Mad respect to the whole tribe called quest crew and the whole native tongue posse.
