Gwen Guthrie "Seventh Heaven"

OK this is my last Classic R&B post for a while...I'll be switching it up starting tomorrow. Not sure what the next cycle will be. You just wait and see.

Grand Puba - 360 (What Goes Around)

Such a mega classic!!! Puba was the man back in the day and was the truth when it came to fresh street gear. He kind of single handed put Hilfiger and Girbauds on the map back in the early 90s. Such a shame he was lazy when it came to his solo career...never lived up to his full lyrical potential.

Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly "Before I Let You Go"

Song of the day...

The Staple Singers "I'll take you there"

OK folks...I'll wrap up my Classic R&B kick this week and jump off to some other ish. Probably back to original sample tracks.

Hopefully this track helps you forget about the brutal cold weather outside for a few minutes. Enjoy...

King Floyd "groove me" on old 45

I dig the crackles of the old 45 vinyl...but that's probably bc I'm an old soul.

Groove Me Baby, move me baby.........
HEEEEEY! SOCK IT TO ME, MAMA!!

DJ Premier /AM kicks release

Yo I didn't know AM...Never knew him, met him, or heard him rock a party...so I've got no opinion on him or his kicks.

But Premo: THE GREATEST PRODUCER EVER, EVER, EVER!!!!! I'm disappointed in the kicks Nike dropped for him. I would only buy them out of respect for Premo. But seriously Nike! You know you F'd up and could have come harder for the greatest hip-hop producer ever in the game. C'mon son!

Oh and BTW as usual Ed Lover stole the show with his comments in the video. That dude is just too F'en funny.

You thought you had a Vinyl collection? Think again

SOME of J-Rocc's Vinyl collection. I repeat SOME.

The Spinners "I'll be around" '72

Back to the work thing...so daily songs are also returning. Decided to pick up where I left off with more classic R&B jams...probably roll with it for the next two weeks before I switch back to samples.

Happy New Year! Enjoy...
