Pour out a Styles P smoothie for DJ Clark Kent. It's all luv to Biggie's Sky's The Limit and Realms Of Junior Mafia, but my favourite Works of Clark were Slick Rick's I Own America Part 1 and Why, Why, Why.
I checked out some music by that Malachi kid whose guest verses on the LARussell & P-Lo EP are such a joy. Alas, his own solo songs are some sub-J. Cole type shit where his puppy dog energy has been replaced by painful earnestness.
If Yams were still alive then he'd surely have steered A$AP Rocky into buying a better football team than Tranmere Rovers. Crazy visionz, BOOM: Rocky buys Chester FC instead and launches into a TV ratings battle with Chester's arch rivals/Disney's bitches Wrexham FC. Daphne & Celeste could flip Ooh Stick You for the Chester TV show's theme: "OOH STICK YOU, YOUR MULLIN TOO AND YOUR DISNEY!"
If the best Rap love songs of the 1980s are Slick Rick's Teenage Love, LL Cool J's I Need Love and Whodini's One Love then the worst have to be LL's One Shot At Love and Nice & Smooth's Something I Can't Explain. Kurtis Blow's Hello Baby deserves an honourable mention for drowning a very nice Davy DMX production in a sea of schmaltz.
People always over-think music bloggin'. You're a DJ/host and your blog is your radio show. It's that simple like Posh Spice & M.O.P.
Malachi's honestly the worst part of that EP for me; his verse ruins the D-Lo song and he really enhances the Kidz Bop vibes of Larussell's career for me.
ReplyDeleteBloggers like the kitchen til they dealin' with the heat.
DeleteMalachi's guest spots are what give that EP its nu-HBK vbyz for me.
That Posh Spice and MOP song is shocking.
ReplyDeleteFrom the era when Dame Dash was trying to manage her and sign her to Roc-A-Fella.
DeleteNot as shocking as Fred Durst, Chanel West Coast, and Paris Hilton being signed to Cash Money 😂
DeleteWTF I totally missed Hilton linking with Cash Money.
ReplyDeleteTBF, even she had a better singing voice than Posh Spice.
Grandmaster Slice has the worst rap love song from that era, no doubt

That is bad for sure, but I still reckon the Nice & Smooth song is that era's W.O.A.T. It's 6 minutes long and the 2nd song on the album 😬
