I Give Good Love



I'll buy your clothes
I'll cook your dinner too
Soon as I get home from work




This is a throwback from back in the day. Back when R&B was off the chains, when you such talent like New Edition, Tony, Toni, Ton&e, and Luther Vandross was riding the airwaves. This was the type of music that was played on the Quiet Storm after 9. (How many of yall remember this? lol). Babyface was the king of making the woman feel like she was worth a pot of gold. This was one of my favorites from him.

Another one was this one right here:



This was a classic breakup song. People who fell in love, and over time....it just ended. I'm sure it's happened to all of us (or have seen it happen to people before).



For the Cool in You was one of those that just made you listen...and nod you head when you wanted a chill type song, not too fast, but not too slow. Shades on, and you showin "The Cool" in you.



This was one of the songs that brought about domestic abuse at a time when people didn't really stand up for it. Something that made people think about an issue that was slowly on the rise in the country.

And there were a couple of songs that featured Babyface that will always get play on my iPod:



Madonna....my all time favorite song by her. Babyface wrote and even sang this song with her. They made a GREAT duo in this one.



Not too many people knew about this song...and the fact that Babyface wrote and featured in this one came as a shock to many.

Babyface is one that is timeless. From the 80s even up to now, his music will never grow old to those that can appreciate a good R&B song.

Diggy Makes His Appearance



OK...I'on know what it is about these young kids makin some hits and such....but I've been feeling the youthful moment (well some of it) lately. Last week I posted about Willow Smith whippin her hair around, and today I'm goin to another child of a major star, Diggy Simmons.



Diggy is talkin about some real grown up stuff in this song. I'm not sure what he would know about missing a girl that he loved in the teenage years, but I'm sure that he has his reasoning. LOL

But I'm sure we've had those moments when we missed that special someone in our lives...especially if you spent a long time with this person. Sometimes, you don't want to be back with them, but you do realize that you wonder if they still miss you like you miss them.

"i know were apart but you still got my heart and(i gotta know)
do you ever think about me"


That's kinda deep...especially for a teenager. But all in all, this applies to adults as well. So this song is not only applicable to real life, but the beat is kinda hot too. Diggy is tryin to come out knockin...

Whip My Hair!


So yeaaaaah....back in the game now. I must say...that I had another song/artist in mind when I planned on making my return, but after I heard this song, I had to feature her:



Now upon first listen, you'd think that this was someone older....but when I found out who it was, I must say I was quite surprised. This is none other than 9 year old Willow Smith, daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. This song is a sleeper because I know expected NOBODY from the Smith family (outside of Will) to have talent like this. I guess I musta forgotten about his roots in the music industry before his acting career took off.

What's hilarious is that this 9 year old will make the likes of Rihanna, Keri, and all of them who are puttin out horrible music to shame...so when she blows up...look out. It's gone be nasty!

So ladies, whip ya hair back and forth (if you got any)....this is a pretty hot song to end the summer.
