Throwback Thursdays – Naughty By Nature – Uptown AnthemNaughty by Nature is a Grammy Award-winning American hip hop group that at the time of its formation in 1989 consisted of Treach, Vin Rock, and the DJ Kay Gee. The group formed in East Orange, New Jersey (colloquially referred to as “Illtown” in the 1980s). The group first appeared on the music scene in 1989 releasing an album called Independent Leaders under their then name the New Style. The album generated the minor hit “Scuffin’ Those Knees”. After the release of their first album, the group was mentored by fellow New Jersey native Queen Latifah, and subsequently changed its name.…They also perform WWE Executive Vice President of Global Media Shane McMahon’s entrance song “Here Comes the Money”.
It’s been awhile since the last Throwback, so I’m hitting you with one of my all-time “daaaaaaayyaaammm that’s old school” joints.
Chicago vocal group Subway’s first single, “This Lil’ Game We Play” with vocals by their Motown labelmates 702, was a million-seller. The group, Eric McNeal, Keith Thomas, Trerail Puckett, and Roy Jones, was signed by Michael Bivins, formerly of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe, to his Motown-distributed label Biv 10. Their debut album was Good Times, whose cover art and title were inspired by the same-named CBS-TV hit sitcom of the ’70s that featured a preteen, pre-stardom Janet Jackson in some episodes.Their debut single, which was produced and written by Gerald Levert and Edwin Nicholas, was billed as “Subway featuring 702,” went gold, making it to number four R&B on Billboard’s charts in late 1994.
Shout-out to Michael Bivins for having a hand in like half my childhood.

The world lost another legend this past week, as Wycliffe “Steely” Johnson (pictured left above) passed away after a battle with pneumonia. Those familiar with Steely credit him as being one of the pioneers of dance hall music to this day producing hits for such artists as Sean Paul, Mr. Vegas, Supercat and Shabba Ranks.
From CaribWorldNews.com
“I am deeply saddened by the passing of Wycliffe ‘Steely’ Johnson,” said [Dwayne McKay, founder of the popular Steelie Bashment] in a statement. “His passing is a tremendous loss to the Dancehall industry, and a tremendous loss to me personally — Steely is the man who sparked my love of music and inspired me to be a selector. “

On August 25th, 2001, our angel Aaliyah returned back to the heavens. So it’s fitting that this Throwback Thursday is dedicated to her showing that even 8 years later we remember the starlet.
“Back and Forth” was Aaliyah’s major debut with a little help from already mega-star R. Kelly. To put into perspective, Aaliyah was only 15 when this video aired. It’s not often a kid debuts in the music scene with such maturity and poise like Aaliyah. (And yes, I instantly had a crush on her at the time)

In 1984, Dennis Edwards, of Temptations-fame, scored this little gem called “Don’t Look Any Further.” A catchy bass-line and an easy mid-tempo made it a moderate success.

Does it sound familiar to you? If you’re a hip hop lover like myself, then most certainly you’ve heard this song on more than one occasion…

Mr. Marshall Mathers has been a busy man. “The Warning”, Eminem’s heartfelt take on dealing with a broken-down relationship, hit the streets this past week with people asking, “did he really have to go that hard on them?” Seriously, “The Warning” is possibly the most vicious diss on an R&B singer ever. Plus he made a cameo in last week’s number 1 in the box office film Funny People, and his latest album Relapse is still doing considerably well (I mean, it actually sold some CDs, which is tough these days).
But don’t forget, before Mariah issues there was Kim. Before talking about his drug addiction, there was his mom’s drug addiction. Let’s take a look back at Eminem’s earlier days as the “surprisingly good white rapper.”
Here Eminem rips it up on the world-famous Wake-Up Show.
