Don’t ya’ll remember when Cassie first stepped on the scene with this hot track, “Me & U”, which everybody fell in love with.

Throwback: Michael Jackson’s Ghosts
MOAR!? Yes, bb! I loved the video clip for Ghosts (full version), which can also be classified as a short feature film, it’s like a 40 minute music video ha ha. The songs featured, in order, are “2 Bad,” “Is It Scary,” and “Ghosts” and they are all from HIStory and Blood on the Dance [...]
Throwback: Michael Jackson - “Leave Me Alone”
The saga continues. I decided to make “Leave Me Alone” by Michael Jackson the throwback for today since it was released during this month and the year of my birthday (which is an honor). Many believed this song was about a woman, or something, but in actuality it was particularly about how the media portrayed [...]

Time for another throwback, this one is Brandy - “What About Us,” from the singer’s 2002 album Full Moon (Atlantic).

ALBUM REVIEW: KELLY ROWLAND - MS. KELLY (UNRELEASED)
Wow, you can’t believe how pissed I was, to find out that none of these singles didn’t make Kelly’s album! Lol, so in actuality it turns out the “Still In Love With My X” and “Work (Put It In)” remixes did not make the cut unfortunately. I am so sorry about that, but I did [...]
Throwback: What Ever Happen To….
Wow, I just came over nostalgia recently, and realized how much I missed being a kid. Until this day I can still reminisce myself racing straight home after school doing my homework, changing clothes and getting myself situated to be laid out on the sofa, with my remote in one hand and junk food in [...]
Throwback: Beyonce - “Me, Myself and I” (Live)
I was on Youtube and found this video of Beyonce, performing “Me, Myself, and I,” live at the Billboard Awards of 2003, I thought “hey! Why not use it as a Throwback…” I remember this performance vividly and seeing it again brought back more nostalgic memories of why this woman was and still is the baddest of [...]

The lyrics are a braggadocio style rap, which have been sampled in many songs, including “Ebonics” by Big L. This single, along with the album it’s [...]
