R&B radio in Philly used to ALWAYS play Force MD's as their throwbacks when I was a teenager. Though their biggest hit was "Tender Love" my personal favorite was "Love Is A House". If your not up on Force M.D.'s check out the video below.

Every time I hear this song I instantly smile. Chrisette captures the beauty of love in this joint. This is defiantly a contender as my one of my wedding songs. Read the lyrics below...
Love Is You By Chrisette Michele
What's your definition of it? How does it make you feel? Tell me what you say that truly makes it real Kings and Queens, Philosophers have tried so hard to find Tell me what it means to you dear, nevermind
Love is kind when the world is cold Love stays strong when the fight gets old Love's a shoulder to lean on Love is you Love's like the water when the well runs dry Quench my thirst, keep me alive Just need one sip baby Love is you Love is you, love is you, Love is you, love is you
Is it possible, there is a kiss that's so divine Or am I just a fool, is it all in my mind? Is there something chemical A scientist might say Well love must be a drug To make me feel this way
Cause love's my permission to be who I am No inhibitions cause you understand Freedom to breathe oh baby Love is you Love's like a kiss when the sun goes down Holds me tight when no one's around Love's what I want to hold on to Love is you
Love is you, Love is you, Love is you, Love is you, Love is you, Love is you, Love is you,
Love is kind, it makes me stronger I don't have to look no longer You're the one I cling to Love is you When the chips are down Love will stick around I'm so glad I found Love is you
As much as I've tried to clarify Love's quite simple, he's just my guy Perfect definition Love is you Love is you, love is you Love is you... is you...
Some people in the crew will never shine and I guess Drag-On was that token fella of Ruff Ryders. Everyone in that crew blew up even the freaking producer, Swizz Beatz, but Drag-On just didn't become the superstar that he's peers were. Here's his biggest solo hit "Niggas Die 4 Me"
The other day I was at the Secaucus train station and a song by Sting came on I immediately recognized it as the sample from Emotional by Carl Thomas. See if you can spot it yourself.
About a year ago my buddy told me he was making a song with J.Cole and I looked him up, but it never went any farther than that. I have yet to listen to any of his mixtapes and all I know is his verse in "Everyday A Star is Born" and "All I Want Is You". After I saw him perform live that will soon change. I'm not saying J.Cole is newest favorite rapper, but I defiantly gained more respect for him. Jay-Z taught him well about stage presence.
Gosh by golly Im soo soo busy. This college life has me neglecting my baby (this blog) but hopefully that will change once I get my schedule in order. Between my clubs, education, and job it's pretty darn hard 2 squeeze the blog into all of that. :-(
There are very few unsigned rappers that I dig. So few that I can count them on one hand, BUT I'm very passionate about Gilbere Forte. The first time I heard him he did a freestyle off of a Kanye beat, AND HE WAS BETTER THAN KANYE!!! Yes yes yes I said it... and ya'll know how I feel about my Kanye so that was huge deal.
Anyway I need you folks to do my a favor and VOTE for Gilbere's video "Black Chukkas" on MTVU. His music deserves to be on a major network. The link to vote is below and so is the video. Thanks in advance... love love loveeee you.
