Song of the Day, Pt. I: “Daydreamin’” – Tatyana Ali
(Feat. Lord Tariq & Peter Guns)

Pioneer of the SKANT (a.k.a. skirt/pants), velour zip-up, and easy-peasy choreography. Oh, and actress-turned-singer delusions.


Song of the Day, Pt. II: “Boy You Knock Me Out’” – Tatyana Ali
(Feat. Will Smith)

Just another day kickin’ at the Hotel Chelsea and dancing by underpasses.

If you’re in the NYC area at all on a Saturday (and craving great local food or products), be sure to check out the city’s most eclectic flea market, the Hester Street Fair. For more details, catch my interview with founder
(and yes… MTV News correspondent), SuChin Pak on V here.

I’m told this is the current head designer… so badass.

WORLD PREMIERE: “Celebration” – Black Rob

Black Rob is back with a definite contender for song of summer ’11…
obviously he planned to drop it just in time for my birthday (Aug 2).

Song of the Day: “Motown Philly” – Boyz II Men

Do you recall a time when, in fact, this brotherly look was cool?
There was a point when this is what HITS looked like.
Their looks HAD to match their smooth harmonies: makes total sense.
Peep the video (below) and spy a young ?uestlove.

Song of the Day: “Supersonic” – J.J. Fad

Easily one of the best videos ever made. Point blank period.
(Yeah, that workout gear’s pretty poppin’, too.)

(And yeah, will.i.am ruined this beat for Ferg’s “Fergalicious.”)

WORLD PREMIERE: “Better” – Kevin McCall

Who would have thought a straight, former college football player and writer/protege of Chris Brown would be the one to make the theme song to Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” campaign?

Oh, shit… he didn’t? My bad.

Song of the Day, Pt. I: “Anytime” – Brian McKnight

 Do I ever cross your mind? Anytime?
Eh… nah, not really.
VH1 Soul provides me with enough of your two hits and undying love for tight crewnecks, that I think I’ll pass on this tour.
But, thanks. 


Song of the Day, Pt. II: “Back At One” – Brian McKnight

Song of the Day: “Tell Me (What’s Goin’ On)” – Smilez & Southstar

This might be as bad/sad/horrendously amusing as this … (and no, it’s not because it features the first Asian rapper to chart or someone named ‘Smilez’) … it’s because these dudes are repping the RED city a.k.a. Orlando. You know? The one that just let some hoe off for murdering her little daughter. Yeah, that one! Foolish.
