There has been quite some hype over the return of a certain rapper; one of the best female rappers of our time. She’s also a record producer, a singer- songwriter and dancer who has worked with too many people in the music industry; notably with Timbaland. She and Timbo did some great things back in the day and recently the pair have been cookin’ up some shiz in the studio that a majority are eager to hear. This week’s throwback is dedicated to…

A real throwback right here, I heard the song at a record store on Saturday and instantly Shazam‘d it as I’ve heard it sampled in a Jay-Z song. It makes the song for me, the infectious saxophone infused beat and Bobby Bland‘s soulful vocals. Beautiful blues – going to start researching into Hip-hop samples for my next few Throwback Thursday selections. Some real gems to discover, hop on after the cut to listen.

Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of the tragic and untimely passing of Miss Lisa Left-Eye Lopez. With such a spark and spice to her personality it was hard to believe that the good lord upstairs decided that it was her time. As we all should know before she departed she was one member of the very popular group TLC. She left behind great music and a legacy that will forever uphold, Lisa Lopez should never and will never be forgotten. I have assembled a few tracks that she featured in for your listening pleasure.
I remember blasting this tune out loud in the summer of 06 so when I stumbled across it in my iTunes library naturally I cranked up the volume. The way I was singing this song in my room this morning as if I wrote the damn thing. Having filled my ears with this musical goodness I now pass it on to you to experience the same joy it gave me. Collie Buddz – ‘Come Around’ after the cut.
Taaaaking it back to the good ol’ MSN days with this throwback. I’m sure a lot of you used to have corny ass song lyrics in your name surrounded by a multitude of irrelevant ASCII characters. Well this song is filled with R&B one liners, it’s a happy love song! Let me know if you remember it, listen after the cut.

Honestly I wasn’t really prepared to do this post. I claimed it but didn’t have a song in mind so I proceeded to ask my housemates what song they thought I should bring back to your attention, however all the songs that they mentioned we have already featured on Throwback. So naturally I cut them off with a swiftness and told them to stop suggesting ish to me. Having racked my brain I finally settled on this little gem from the great Coldplay. ‘Fix You’ simply put is a stunning song, I love when they perform it live it gives me goosebumps. Unfortunately the studio version doesn’t quite incite this same emotion however it is still pretty damn good. Read on for you Coldplay Throwback. Until next week snitches!
