A Long, Rough Road

Sign, Sealed, Delivered

Stevie Wonder's 1970 song, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is one of Barack Obama's campaign songs, and, more importantly, it's also the music for the adorable "Obama Hustle." There's no need to explain why I chose this song for today, is there?

What Once Was

Despite what Jermaine Jackson thinks, we will never see this sort of magic on stage again. What's a Jackson 5 reunion with no Michael?

Shut It Up

When I read Soulja Boy's unfortunate recent comments about the slave trade, I couldn't help but look fondly upon a time when the young purveyors of pop rap kept their mouths shut and danced. Warm it up, Chris!

J-Hud's Circle of Life

She's now an Oscar-winner whose face is plastered across every tabloid due to a family tragedy to awful to comprehend, but remember when Jennifer Hudson was just a girl from Chicago with a big voice who Simon Cowell inexplicably disliked? She was on American Idol back when I actually used to watch, so I definitely remember. Here she is singing "Circle of Life" during what was a less successful, yet undoubtedly more happy, time in her life.

Second Chances

During the summer of 1995, it seemed like every other song that came on my hometown radio stations was Biggie's "One More Chance remix." I definitely don't think anyone minded.

Vivrant Things

Now that Q-Tip another solo album under his belt — (see below) — let us look back on his first solo effort, which brought us "Vivrant Thing" way back in 1999.

No No Diggity

Aren't you glad Blackstreet didn't permanently cement "no diggity" into our lexicon?

"It's '91, Son"

See 3rd Bass skewering Vanilla Ice in "Pop Goes The Weasel." If only they knew what was in store for rap…

Oprah and the Boys

Oprah Winfrey is currently being sued for $180 million by a crazy guy who is obsessed with her. He's suing her because he said that her accusations of extortion two years ago led to his arrest. Besides that whole billionaire superstar thing, it isn't easy being Oprah. Let's take it back to 1988 for a look at a (somewhat) simpler time for Madame O. Here she is interviewing The Boys and Bobby Brown. Oh, the hair.

Oh, Joy!

You know what, readers? Listening to this classic Mary J. Blige song has me in a sharing mood: You guys bring me joy.

Most of the time.

Motown Greats

This one's for Four Tops lead singer Levi Stubbs, who died last week at the age of 72.

Challenges

When it comes to this new movie about Eartha Kitt, who, among many other things, played Catwoman in the Batman tv show, I'm most interested to see how exactly Bey tackles that trademark voice.

Clean Videos

Since it contains no scenes of Mariah Carey rolling around in a bed with models, "Dreamlover" is one video Nick Cannon probably wouldn't have minded directing… if he hadn't been in the eighth grade when it came out, of course.

Homie Don't Play That

David Alan Grier is, as we all know, foraying once again into sketch comedy. We're not overly optimistic about his new show's chances for survival. He'll always have In Living Color, though!
