Throwback Thursday: Down Low

In honor of the newly release parts to Trapped in the closet I present this Throwback Thursday  First I want to say that I love Kells and although he been tripping of late, this was when he was at his best. Down Low was so dope, original and remix. I remember when these videos came out it was crazy. Fancy Garcelle Beauvais was a #snookup, actually she still is. Anyway, enjoy:



Remix too:

Throwback Thursday: Aaliyah

Taken too soon.

I write this post with sadness. Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the death of Aaliyah. It was tragic and depressing. She was so beautiful and was Brooklyn's finest (though raised in Detroit lol).

I remember the first time I heard "Are You That Somebody." I was at summer camp and these girls did a step routine with that beat (one of the toughest beats of all-time). I was like what is that and someone played the song to me. When I got home that joint was rocking all over the radio, it was crazy.

Aaliyah had so many cuts yo. She ruled #the90s man. It was tough to see here go when she did in the early 2000s ('01). I honestly feel like she was about to change the game for real. Unfortunately we won't know what could of been. Luckily we know what we had: Greatness. We love you and miss you baby girl.

Throwback Thursday: "Don't Let Go" - En Vogue

At my dinner with Ms. Hicks earlier this week she told me about how she used to dance in music videos. She told me that she stopped dancing after she got invited to some Jodeci video that required her to bring a swimsuit. At some point in the 90's the videos started getting raunchier and required girls who would wear less and less clothes. She stopped dancing because of it. I couldn't find the Jodeci video she was talking about but I'm sure they were a big part of that switch in video culture.

That convo with got me thinking about some tasteful sexy videos from #the90s and I immediately thought of this one from En Vogue from the Set It Off soundtrack.

*Sidenote* Set It Off, the movie, could have its own  place on Throwback Thursday.

Enjoy:
