Classic R+B, Soul, Hip-Hop, etc

The Space Jam collab that featured three MCs named Smith who were all better (?) than Will Smith: Clifford Smith (Method Man), James Smith (LL Cool J), and Trevor Smith (Busta Rhymes).
(No shade on Will Smith, his songs were always a lot of fun and he's certainly not a terrible rapper...)

...and now I want all four of them to go on a throwback tour titled 'The Smiths'. XP

Hilarious. Dammitt, remember when movie soundtracks were a real thing. I name several soundtracks better than some of the movies, the talent some of these productions put together was amazing... I am no big fan of Big Willie but I will say he's one of the rare entertainers who got cornier as his rap career went on. He was pretty cold like most artists out of the gate and right through a couple albums and then it became shtick pretty rapidly.

Shoutout to Cliff Smith who was a staple on several hip-hop soundtracks (and several movies) back in the day.

T-Boz...

Tionne Watkins was, muh favorite. Then Lisa may she Rest In Peace and then Chilli, loved all three but there was a personal hierarchy.

Wipeout - The Fat Boys (w/ The Beach Boys)



If you can get past the"Nacho"comment in the beginning before the music this is a pretty classic trip down memory lane. I loved them and Run DMC so much when I was young. When they came on I wanted to dance, lol. My dads favorite band was the Beach Boys (Though I liked the original Surfaris version better than The Beach Boys) and TFB's brought these classics up several notches.

Man, tough to hear about the passing of Kobe and his daughter.
