Weekend Jam - Mother's Day

Well after doing exams, cramming, fatigue, and other stuff that I did not know my body can go through, I had to take time to wish every mother, aunt, god-mother, and motherly woman a Happy Mother's Day. So for the Weekend Jam, I am just going to play my all-time favorite Mother's Day song. I will be back shortly with major post, an upcoming post on Black Man's Law, and a week of guest bloggers with a catchy theme call "Who's at the Ace House."

...for now enjoy the tune and Happy Mother's Day.

Weekend Jam - Cadillac Music

Today, I could go back or stay within the current times called today.

……Ahhh Screw it. I need a Sunday drive.

Speaking of driving, My favorite automobile is a Cadillac car (Sorry, Escalade don’t spell p-i-m-p-i-n-g to me). They say that your favorite car describe your personality. I guess mine is simple because Lac are simple. They are cruising car when you floating from point A to B. I am going to put out my favorite tunes to ride to.

Outkast – Players Ball (Reprise) or Player’s Ball (Remix)

Yeah I like the original, but the reprise is so cool like myself. Put Sleepy Brown with some words and you have a classic when you are riding. Oh, did I mention that the short piano riff goes hard.

Ann Peebles – I Can’t Stand the Rain

I know what she is talking about, but just hear that cool beat is enough for me.

Al Green- Love and Hapiness

What more can I say. Classic on all levels.

Issac Hayes – Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic

I have a head nod effect whenever the late Issac Hayes sings. He know how to hit all the spots whenever I am driving.

Out There – Willie Hutch

This song brings out that inner pimp-parade stroll. You know, lay way in your seat driving 2 miles a hour so everybody see you.

Bonus – Ludacris – Southern Fried

I know it is the sample of “Walk on By” by Mr. Hayes, but I have been hooked on this song since I heard it the first time.

These are more but these are my top five and a bonus. What songs you like to ride to in your automobile?

Weekend Jam - Millie Jackson

Weekend Jam - Wyclef Jean

I had to look at the Weekend Jam today and think about my man Wyclef Jean, a musical genius in the game. I will put him up there with Stevie Wonder as a beast when it comes to musical talent with the exception of Prince and Stevie Wonder (with whom I had both love in my lifetime). Wyclef had been through some trials and tribulation with his home country and the media being a jack-off about his non-profit organization which I believe is legit. So for the Weekend Jam, It is all about the genius of Wyclef not only just being a member of the greatest band in hip hop era, but as a solo artist. So here is my top five Weekend Jam to Clef.

Maria, Maria- Clef brought out the top five baddest guitarist in the game with Carlos Santana. Believe this guy can rip the guitar like no other.

Nappy Heads- This is the song I love when hip-hop needed a trio to run the show.

Gone Till November – This was the song I just love to here when I was leaving the service. The wild part is that the video came at the same time I was entering the service.

We Trying to Stay Alive- I was in love more with the video than the song, but I heard Clef ripped this one live as well as this song.

How Many Mics (Live at the Apollo)- This is the best live performance ever in my lifetime. You can't hype the Apollo like that. Enough said.

What was you best Wyclef Song? Wyclef has many performances that was seriously off the chain. What is your best Clef perfomrances? For a candlelit dinner for two at the Waffle House, Can you name any Hatiain artists that trasition to the U.S other than Clef?

Weekend Jam - Mystikal

I have to dedicate this one to yesterday news. My favorite rapper, The real "Black Prince of Da South", Mystikal, is out and free. It has been 6 years since we heard from the legend of Mystikal. Yeah, 6 years do not seem like much, but things have changed. So to honor the rapper who put the Miss-Lou-Ala on the map and rip the game with lyrics that was masterfully genius, I have a top 5 Mystikal greatest hits and top 5 greats collabos. People beware because the game is getting ready to change.

for the extra- this is his first interview since 2004

Yall Ain't Ready

If you do not know this song and you were from the South, you really did not care for southern rap, or your parents did not want you listening to this music. This was ones of the original budget-videos in the 90s when the east coast had their talent and the west had theirs. With the exception of Luke (who ran FLA), Eightball and MJG (who ran Memphis, Tenn.), Outkast (who held up ATL), UGK, and The Geto Boyz (Who are legends of the rap game in Texas); The Miss-Lou-Ala had nobody that came into the scene spitting rapid 16s like a machine gun. Don't believe me, hear for yourself.

Here I Go

Well what can I say "The Mind of Mystikal" is still the most underrated album of all time. I have more but I can't put it all in here. So "Here I Go" represents this album.

The Man Right Chea

The most-hyped song ever in Southern rap history. Everything on this track was right on time and they did not have a video for it. Everybody in the south from 1997-1999 knew this song.

I'm on Fire

Ghetto Fabulous was a real good album but it was under-measure of the success with all his collabos. "I'm On Fire" was just one of them songs that still under those "Why they did not have a video for this." The symbolism was stylish as he was hitting those 16 bars on this one.

Danger

Don't get me wrong, I like "Shake It Fast." Danger was just one of those song that you could just nod your head to and play in your car because you are taking a trip somewhere.

Bouncing Back (Bumping Me Against the Wall)

The funny thing about this song is that the Neptunes produce this and it really do not sound like a Neptunes beat. The horns were killer on this track. Every HBCU and high school black band was playing this song.

Greatest Collabos

Murder, Murder (Mac)

Just to see these two together with a track again will be masterpiece. As for now, this song will make people reminisce in the South. Funny thing is I can still play this on the piano.

Pure UnCut (Eightball also with Silk, Master P, and Psycho Drama)

He just killed it with "That's that Bastard"

Stutter Remix (Joe)

Come on. Whoever thought he could not don't it on the R&B tip just lied to themselves

Move B*^$% (Ludacris)

His last time on the mic before jailtime. Still a classic.

What is your favorite Mystikal track?

And for a Candlelit dinner for two at the Waffle House, can you tell me what record company

he signed with and what song he was on that spark former group U.N.L.V.

(Cash Money's first group) to make a diss album?

Mystikal Free from Jail.

Weekend Jam - Underrated Artists of 2000 Decade

Today is the Start of "Weekend Jam." I would put some popular song that is hot right now...

......but I am not that broad. So, today I am going to put out the artists that was seriously underrated in the 2000 decade.

Jaheim

I can say the first time I heard "Could It Be," I thought Teddy Pendergrass change into the lavish lifestyle of our time. When I saw that video, I say he just had perfect timing. In the wake of the thug-sounding-like a R&B singer, this guy was the real deal and you can feel it on most of his songs. I believe his best is when it is a Hip-Hop style, somewhat like Nate Dogg but with lyrics. Have you ever heard "Diamond in the Ruff?" With or without Jadakiss bars, it still laid back for that gangstaz-need-love style.

Bilal

This cat is deep on so many levels and is a straight story-teller. Bilal is multi-dimension, like a King on the chess. Speaking of chess; if he was on the chessboard, he would be like a knight because he can cross you on so many levels. I favorite from him is a duet with Beyonce (which I said it once, is one of her greatest work) from the Fighting Temptaion Soundtrack called "Everything I Do." The chemistry was so right for the both of them. His collab with Talib Kweli in Waiting for the DJ, Soul Sista, Fast Lane, and When Will You Call (my personal favorite) makes him above so many. For some reason, I glad he did not go mainstream. I don't think the world is ready for Bilal.

Claudette Ortiz

If Beyonce did not come out early and displayed that booty, I have a feeling the voices of Claudette and B would have been mistaken. You think she can't hold her own, She did it with City High and really put it down for Wyclef in "Two Wrongs." I believe either she was seriously mismanage, just pull an Anita Baker and chilled with ole Ryan Toby (that dude from Sister Act), or she just let herself go and thought "I can do it again." Whatever she did, They need to put her back on the block.

Mystic

To me, she was the most underrated artist in the 2000 decade. You have to remember we were coming off an emotional and sensual high with "Lauryn Hill" and she disappeared. Here come this caramel complexion lady with a dynamic style that fit both the soul singer of and the female MC. "The Life" was my song and I still have the album "Cuts for Luck and Scars for Freedom." Unfortunately, She was a one and goner. I wonder what in the world the west coast was thinking not trying to advertise her as mainstream. If you heard the album, she could have put the West back on the map with The Game, and this underrated artists as my last.

M.U.R.S

For a real gangsta, who swear like a sailors, you cannot tell from his different style. He reminds me of Andre 3000 without all the singing, and he can go 64 bars and beyond. The reason I like him because he is not about the pro-black, gangster, or doing drugs all day screwing women all night mentality. He speaks on what he sees and that is an artist more than an entertainer.

Those are my underrated artists.

Who are your underrated artists?
