Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday: Geto Boys – “Still”

by JNaft

This song is dope!  Geto Boys rappers Willie D, Bushwick Bill, and Scarface each contribute some crazy hard-hitting rhymes on this sort of ethereal beat.  I can’t really say why, but I get a kind of creepy vibe from...

Throwback Thursday: Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx – “Gold Digger”

by JNaft

Sometimes you just have to throw it out there.  Everyone loves this song, I don’t care if you’re no longer a Kanye fan or what, but back in 2005 when this (see video) performance occurred everyone loved this track....

Throwback Thursday: Special K – “Special K is Good”

by JNaft

Although I’ve never been big on Special K the cereal, Special K the rapper is someone worth listening to.  After a successful career with the Treacherous Three, Special K released a solo 12″ in 1987 called “Special K is...

Throwback Thursday: Will Smith – “Y’All Know”

by JNaft

So we all know Will Smith is a great actor, but a lot of people seem to hate on his music career.  I on the other hand, enjoy much of his rap, especially on his first solo album Big...

Throwback Thursday: Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force – “Planet Rock”

by JNaft

After a week in which we saw the NFL refs return, I’ve made a return to the site for my throwback segment.  And I’m back with a real good one.  Afrika Bambaataa is one of the originators of rap...

Throwback Thursday: Deee-Lite – “Groove is in the Heart”

by JNaft

Having not had computer access for a few days, sorry for the late post.  But I think this throwback is one that you don’t want to missThis track is technically Dance music, but it does have some hip-hop aspects...

Throwback Thursday: Talib Kweli – “Back Up Offa Me”

by JNaft

Talib Kweli hails from Brooklyn.  I wonder if he is a fan of the Nets’ new court (Have you seen it?).  In his second solo studio album The Beautiful Struggle (2004), Talib includes many tracks that have speaking portions...

Throwback Thursday: Cold Crush Brothers – “Fresh, Fly, Wild and Bold”

by JNaft

Now this is a THROWBACK!  This is some old hip-hop, but if you’ve got any love for the genre you better respect these guys.  Perhaps some of the earliest pioneers in the game, the Cold Crush Brothers formed back...

Throwback Thursday: Big Pun feat. Donell Jones- “It’s So Hard”

by JNaft

A pupil of Fat Joe’s, Big Punisher (or perhaps better known as Big Pun) came from the Bronx as a Puerto Rican rapper with some good rhymes.  Off his second album Yeeeah Baby (2000), “It’s So Hard” is a track...

Throwback Thursday: Danger Mouse and Jemini – “Ghetto Pop Life”

by JNaft

I’m going to keep it short and simple today: These two make something special on this one.  Danger Mouse produces a solid track over which Jemini spits harder than most of the rappers I hear these days. I suggest...
