#ThrowbackThursday: Bad Boy Rap Edition

Now I've already done a #TBT for The Notorious B.I.G. x Ma$e, but it's only right I who respect to the house that shared them to the world.

Bad Boy Entertainment/Records will always hold a few chapters in the history book of Rap music and the Hip hop culture. Classics is a word thrown around at any given chance, some justifiable and some just plain all on board the bandwagon train.

The house the Puff built has given us classic that has stood the test of time, and even now when they drop in a club people just forget their worries and do what Puff always demanded and "just dance". 

I mean think about it, the Puff Daddy x Hype Williams collaborations with the videos were two things 1. big budget 2. larger than life.

So i'm gonna dedicate this thursday to just some of the classics Bad Boy has given us in the world of hip hop. As easy as it is to just make it all Biggie (trying my hardest not to), I'm gonna showcase the Bad Boy hits.

P.S. These videos will take you to a place that makes you smile with happy memories!

#ThrowbackThursdays - LL Cool J Edition

LL Cool J  aka Ladies Love Cool James (I know some people feel to ashamed to ask haha). Regardless of the movies and TV shows, when it comes to Rap music LL Cool J birthed a few rappers with his style and the way he could address the women in his tracks and still body a beat. 

These LL Cool J tracks just represent some of in my opinion he's best work and contribution to Rap and the Hip Hop culture. Believe me he has loads more like Jingaling, Around The Way Girl, Imagine That, Going Back To Cali etc.....But I always draw for these tracks in a conversation for people who act like they never rocked to LL. Last clip ain't a video but for me one of the best tracks LL has ever jumped on. 

Because "LL worth paper, ask Russell Simmons who put them up in that Skyscraper"
