I could dedicate one entire blog to nothing BUT Sean P. lyrics...I love this dude.
Here's his latest video offering.
Enjoy!!
I don't like n*ggas no more, 8 figure dreams, n*gga, but the figure is 4... These are words from a thousandaire, sellin crack in the P's, disguised in some housing gear...I f*cked up somewhere down the line, but I got my sh*t in order, the crown is mine. P!
The song above was a track off of Heavy D & The Boyz album "Nuttin But Love" which was released in 1994.
I promise on all that is good in the world, I listened to this cd EVERY morning before school for a year straight when I lived in Texas in 1994 & 1995. I miss music like this...it just felt good and the video was fun. Music today is really missing something.
I've been slackin in my blogging lately but I wanted to get back to the Throwback Thursday entries today.
This song is a classic "feel good" cut. No matter how my day is going...this song ALWAYS lifts me up. Hopefully it will do the same for you! "Keep on movin, don't stop...nooooooooooooo"
I'm a little late posting this, but its something you should check out right now, regardless. Log onto twitter and let Planet Asia know how you feel about the EPK

In addition to checking MaliceoftheClipse.com on the reg...the latest Clipse offering, Til The Casket Drops is currently in heavy rotation over here.
The video above is a blog entry created by Malice that stood out to me simply because it contains a message that needs to be shared. It's been posted for a minute (about 5 months, to be exact*) but I wanted to put it up here for those that may have missed it.
Check it out, it speaks for itself.
...and the "crack rap", leave that to me...cause even rap ain't all its cracked up...to be...see...young n*gga this is YOU...
On November 8th, some of the PM-LIVE.COM team and I headed down to The Paradise Rock Club in Boston to catch Brother Ali, Evidence, Toki Wright & BK_ONE at the Fresh Air Tour.
The show was amazing, but the interview was beyond that, in my opinion. We had endless footage that covered a wide range of topics and we weren't able to put everything into this clip. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, we'll be able to share the rest of it in segments, but for now, enjoy this video.
Special shout out to Marquis and Widdla for filming the Brother Ali and Evidence interviews. Peep me getting my Rik Cordero on with the live show footage...haha (I think I found a new interest!!)
Also: View video on PM-LIVE.COM here and leave COMMENTS!
I'm "pre-gaming" with this week's Throwback Thursday entry. I'm very excited to be hitting the Ghostface show this Friday in Boston. Aside from RZA, he is def. my favorite Wu-Tang member. The way he tells stories is crazy... I think he is one of the most consistent emcees in hip hop. Period.
This may be one of the first songs of Ghost's that I really fell in LOVE with. If you don't feel the realness in the lyrics of this songs, check your pulse. #truthfully.
"Things was deep, my whole youth was sharper than cleats Two brothers with muscular dystrophy, it killed me But I remember this, mom's would lick her finger tips To wipe the cold out my eye before school wit her spit Case worker had her runnin back to face to face I caught a case, housin tried to throw us out of our place Sometimes I look up at the stars and analyze the sky And ask myself was I meant to be here... why?"
I have to admit it...I've been leaving sooooooooooooooo many classic songs out of my Throwback Thursday postings.
I'm showing all kinds of love to hip hop and totally failing to include many of the R&B songs that I was wearing OUT.
This video / song by Xscape is a classic. We may most recently recognize Tiny as being TI's wifey and Kandi from The Real Housewives of Atlanta...but they both were members of this group far before reality tv existed.
I have no idea why I'm awake at 3:57AM, watching old hip hop videos on youtube.com...but here I am. At least there's a common theme...make the connection
Chance Infinite, 1/2 of the amazing group Self Scientific (which also includes DJ Khalil*) has taken a very popular thought amongst emcees and turned it into a project with his"I Would Have Killed This" mixtape.
The project features Chace over tracks that DJ Khalil created for other artists and I have to say...Chace def bodied ALL of them.
In my opinion, Chace is, without question, of THEE most underrated/slept on emcees out there. This man stays dropping jewels that lots of people miss on the regular, sadly.
Download this mixtape and check the video for the 1st track on the cd, titled "Personal Religion" (done over the the beat for Jay-Z's "Mama I made It"*).
Shout to the homie Dedan Kasimu, I see you, brother.

When I was a kid, Ice T was one of my favorite emcees. I don't know how I got away with listening to his music but this song was my morning, get ready for school anthem for a griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip.
Check the Mike Tyson cameo in the video
"Hustler... word, I pull the trigger long... grit my teeth, spray.... till every niggas gone"
This song right here is an undisputed champion classic hip hop track. I can't tell you how many times I rewound my tape just to hear this song alone. lol
I decided to switch it up a little bit today. Hip Hop is where my heart is, but there are SO many throwback songs that aren't hip hop and I've been neglecting them.
This song by Janet Jackson was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I wish people still made videos (and songs*) like this today.
I'm the piece of the puzzle that you're probably missing.

In the words of Cedric The Entertainer, on Jay-Z's "Threat"... Ask about me, see if you ain't heard. [twitter.com/restlessmiss]
