Flashback Friday 10/09

Happy Friday All! Good afternoon/good morning depending on where you are. Its me again, doing what I do every Friday for my faithful followers. I think the tally is up to about 12 now? Haha. Today’s blog features five more randomly chosen songs which are of course, at least a decade old.  Posted up today are selections from Craig Mack, En Vogue, R. Kelly, Leaders Of The New School and Teena Marie (by request). Speaking of Teena Marie, she is a true vet who is still doing her thing  producing music in the new millennium–all the while without seeming to age a bit. For any interested fans, she recently released an album, ‘Congo Square’, this summer in celebration of her 30th year in the music biz. Now when it came to selecting a song for R. Kelly, I wanted to make sure it was pre-pedo Kells and not post-pedo. I’m sorry, I know he was never convicted of any of the allegations he faced but I refused to post his hit song ‘Bump N Grind’, strictly because of the intro to the song. “My minds telling me nooooooo, but my body….my body’s telling me yesssssss!” While it is a classic slow jam, I had to pass. That lyric has guilty written all over it considering the charges he faced, lol. Regardless, R. Kelly the artist/producer himself has put out plenty of classics over the years, so he will get his due here on Da Fif Floor. Anyone who may be a little mad at me because I posted the remix of Craig Mack’s ‘Flava In Ya Ear’ and not the original, I apologize. I had to include it because it featured my man Biggie (RIP) and LL Cool J, whom I still have  a crush (with his hat on, thanks) on after all these years, :D. Alright people, its been real. Time for me to go and leave you to listen to today’s postings. As always, please enjoy, comment, suggest and vote. Have a blessed weekend! 🙂

Happy Friday All! Its Friday!! Meaning the weekend is here and I’m posting old, random videos again, whether you listen to them or not! Lol.  I’ve posted the ultimate Friday video this week though: Johnny Kemp’s  Just Got Paid. “Just got paid….Friday night….Party huntin’…..Feelin right…..” So who’s goin out tonight?? ;). That goes along with Bobby Brown, Heavy D & The Boyz, MC Lyte and Rude Boys. I decided to include MC Lyte in this week’s blog, but not necessarily the song I put up. I was looking for Paper Thin, so I’ll blame Youtube for that. Has anybody seen Heavy D’s lastest video lately? He ain’t so Heavy anymore. Dude was workin it out with Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Celebrity Fit Club….somebody. He has definitely slimmed down. I hardly recognized him. Enough with the commentary. Please enjoy, vote, comment, suggest and enjoy a blessed weekend. 🙂

Flashback Friday – 9/18

Happy Friday all!! By now, you’re work or school day is probably half way over, so here’s a handful of songs that are over a decade old, that just might take you on a trip down through Memory Lane and help the rest of your day go by faster. At random, posted below are five videos from Brownstone, Dr. Dre, Lil’ Kim, Soul For Real and Young MC. I’ve been doing this blog for 5 months now, and still  fun going back and listening to these old songs and watching the videos. Especially the Dr. Dre video at the 2:38 when the little toddler was getting it in to the song, lol. They need to do a “Where Are They Now?” on people who make cameos in music videos. Gotta wonder what trouble that kid is into now, lol. And looking at the Lil’ Kim video, I still have to wonder what she was thinking when she got her nose job done. The only thing she needed to do was get rid of the rainbow wigs and outfits, lol. Alright folks, go enjoy these videos and the rest of your day. Please vote, comment, suggest and pass this blog on to anyone you think may appreciate it. Have a blessed weekend!! 🙂

Dr. Dre – Nuthin’ But A G Thang (1992)

Brownstone – If You Love Me (1994)

Lil’ Kim – Crush On You (1996)

Favorite part at 2:38. Little boy.
