I like all of those songs except for Tom Ford. It's not a good look, too formulaic and shallow. Jay Z sounds like an old man trying to stay relevant. I think that an artist like Drake or 2 Chainz could have pulled it off. |
Thank God for that! |
Luda - Get Back. helps with my mood.

Btw, I go back decades, and the original rappers were NOT denigrating women. I would have no problem with my kids listening to any of the old school rap. Not sure how some of it evolved into the violence and over the top sex thing. |
I am the pp to whom you are responding and I go back decades too -- and old school rap is also my preference. |
Love this song! Was listening to Ghetto Boys My Minds Playin Tricks on Me and some newer song, not sure of the name, maybe Beware of a woman with a broken heart? |
Lol are you kidding? That's prob the Roots most known song. |
Love it! ~ 46 yo |

Basketball is my favorite sport.
I like the way they dribble up and down the court. Just like I'm the king of the microphone, So are Dr. J and Moses Malone. I like slam dunks and taking it to the hoop. My favorite play is the alley oop. I like the pick and roll, the give and go. It's basketball Mr. Kurtis Blow. |
Love it! Except don't want it playing while the kids are in the car - don't want my kids singing it/asking what does it mean - maybe when they're older. |

Breaking tables on the mix So come on party people,let me show a few tricks Rock the Body,body.[8x] |
I definitely get what you're saying. Jay-Z is certainly aging himself out of the game, but I guess my nostalgia for rappers who were out during his time (Nas, 2Pac, Biggie) makes me stay loyal to him. Plus, you can't really knock his hustle. The man is one enterprising SOB! Keeping my eye on Kendrick Lamar. He's another good one. |
| Also love old school rap, but some of it is a bit "elementary" in style and substance. |
No, you've just raised music snobs who, lacking originality, replicate their parents' listening history in an attempt to appear indie and/or "alternative." |
I would disown my kid for listening to Journey! LOL |
