Your death struck us all by surprise. Never would one have thought I would see the day you would pass away. In 2005 you shared your lovely voice with your first studio album "FRANK". Your album caught the attention of folks worldwide. UNITED KINGDOM to UNITED STATES, UNITED STATES to JAPAN, and so much more. With the voice of a black heavy-set women you left folks in awe. How could such a voice come from such a women. Dainty and frail yet could draw a room of ten million to silence. While gaining fame for your wonderful voice, we were introduced to some of your flaws.

Early this morning after a good breakfast I sat and watched some tv. Before I get into the story, yesterday I switched from iO to VERIZION's FIOS and I got loads of new channel. One of them being HBO. So I changed the channel to HBO to see what the channel has to offer. I don't watch tv much and rarely watch films unless I really like it or have done research. While checking out the channel, SPICE WORLD comes on. I absolutely lost it!

ROBYN just yesterday released her video for the second single off her 2010 album BODY TALK PART 2. The video is sick and I love ROBYN'S moves. Girl can dance. My friend TIFFANY and I always talk how ROBYN was dancing during the 2010 MTV VMA'S and she plays no games when she dances. Love!

Looking back at what I had listened to a kid growing up I can say for sure, I was bound to be a heavy UK music listener. I'm on a fucking rolling this time with the throwbacks! S CLUB 7, MIS-TEEQ, MS. DYNAMITE, and now CRAIG DAVID. I can't help but laugh at music choices. Not to say that my choices were bad but it's interesting. I heard about CRAIG DAVID while I was in Nigeria visiting my cousins in 2000 or 2001. I was watching MTV UNIVERSAL and I saw this video come on and I was like "Ohhh! He's cute". Besides him being cute, the song was good, and the video was humorous. The part where he pours the wine on the women around 3:55 is funny. If life had a rewind, press play, stop, pause button? Boy!? It would be great. And imagine being able to wake up at 11:00AM on Monday.

KATY B is an artist I've been listening to for a while and just today she released her video for his single EASY PLEASE ME. Absolutely love her! The video has cute humor to it and cute guys in it. I definitely peeped that one. Especially the babe in the black and yellow snapback. Babeee?!

RAEKWON is currently on tour and he hit up CHICAGO last night. But besides hitting the stage, he apparently found time to connect and politic with Illinois Republican Senator CHRISTINE RADOGNO because during a State budget meeting today, Radogno took the floor of the Senate to quote the Wu-Tang member. She even claimed that last night Rae told her, "NOWADAYS WE ALL KNOW CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND US, C.R.E.A.M. GET THE MONEY. DOLLA, DOLLA BILL Y'ALL." Guess Radogno grew up on the foul side too, huh?

Nickeloden use to be the shit in 90's. Ahh the memories! I remember this performance so clearly. Nasty Nas! Haha!

Haha! This really sums up my summer of '09. *BUST INTO A MIGRAINE SKANK* For those who aren't aware of SKANKING. Allow me to introduce you to what it is.

Recently I got into two of the five universities I applied to. After being elated with the news I automatically had to put some victory music on. This called for some LIL B. Sheen! Winning! Swag!

In my last THROWBACK post I had said that my encounter of UK music was MS. DYNAMITE. After that I started thinking about things I use to listen to as a youth and  I realized I listened to a lot of UK Music. Which is quite funny because now that I'm older I mainly listen to UK music. When I was younger one group I couldn't get enough of was MIS-TEEQ. MIS-TEEQ came onto the US music scene around 2003 with their smash hit SCANDALOUS. I absolutely loved them unfortunately the UK girl group broke up and haven't made music ever since. I enjoyed them while they lasted but SCANDALOUS was the song. In fact in December 2010 the song was used in a GIORGIO ARMANI's ARMANI CODE FOR WOMEN perfume ad.

Huhh! What a fine make of man?  I came across RYAN GOSLING a few years back while watching REMEMBER THE TITANS and ever since then I've been in awe with his acting as well as him. He's a babe! Check out the new film he stars in called BLUE VALENTINE.

As kid I've always admired this woman so much. Ms.Dynamite was one of my first encounters with UK Hip Hop/Rap/Grime. At the time I didn't know what UK Hip Hop, Rap or Grime was but I loved her messages in her songs. She is a dope artist. Youth years! Dynamite has gotten older of course. However she manages to keep herself very current in music with recent work with KATY B and REDLIGHT. In fact one of the songs she collaborated on was featured on HIGHSNOBIETY.

Directed by "US". Wiley releases his new video NUMBERS IN ACTION. Both the song and video are dope. Check it out!

Every time I hear this song I feel like dancing. The 90 - early 2000's was the best.
