Song of the Day: “Phenomenon” – LL Cool J

One of the best videos of all-time (I repeat: all-time)
by Hype Williams at his peak. Now, if only Mr. Cool James could harvest as much LL-ness as he had once upon a time for his Grammy Awards hosting gig and put the fitness books to rest.

Song of the Day: “Hustle Baby” – Freeway (Feat. Mary J. Blige)

This (below) is probably the most adept statement on the current “double dip recession” I’ve heard thus far. And it came from Philly Freeza a.k.a. Mr. 1900 — who name-drops everyone from Sarah Palin to Stanley Steamer all in under 4 minutes. Listen closely and look out for Free‘s new mixtape coming soon.

Even though he’s thuggin’,
I love him…
And that’s how it’s gonna be.

Song of the Day: “T.G.I.F. (Remix)” – Katy Perry
(Feat. Missy Elliott)

The only time I can stomach Katy Perry is when she gets urban.
Which is not often.

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.

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.”)

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: “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.
