I Wub This Music!

Throwback Thursday returns with another classic Jim Croce song off his album You Don’t Mess Around With Jim. I got home today and decided to start up the grill, crack open a beer, get lifted, and try to catch a glimpse of this comet I keep hearing about. Had Pandora going on classic rock and Jim Croce - Operator (That’s Not The Way It Feels) comes on to complete the ambience. Nothing like being lifted, listening to the steak sizzling with this song in the background and all of a sudden spotting the comet to cap off the evening.

Throwback Thursday is for all of you who know that the “D” is silent. If you haven’t gone out and watched Django Unchained, you should. Here’s another song from the soundtrack, Jim Croce - I Got A name. Originally of his album of the same name, I Got a Name LP, it was recently included in the Django Unchained Soundtrack.

This weeks Throwback Thursday is the complete opposite of Gangsta’s Paradise. Taking it back to 1997 this week with Blink 182 - Dammit off their second album Dude Ranch. 1997! Holy shit that takes it back, you slowly starting seeing a shift in pop music during the late 90s. The whole East Coast/West Coast thing had been buried and East Coast Hip Hop reigned supreme in the Post Death Row Era. You had the Spice Girls and Boy Bands craziness, In between all that you had the rise of Nu Metal and Pre-Emo bands like Korn and Blink 182. Its funny to think back about the different phases of pop music in this past decade alone. I’m digging what the Black Keys are doing right now, I think we’re due for some great Rock Music to gain some momentum again……..(This is were I realized - I’m pretty stoned)…….So yeah Blink 182, not really Korn but there no Mighty Mighty Bosstones neither.

Its that time of the week! Throwback Thursday is in full effect with a classic Gangsta Rap song! Whens the last time you heard this track? Been a minute for me. Here’s Coolio Featuring L.V. - Gangsta’s Paradise off the album Gangsta’s Paradise & Dangerous Minds Soundtrack. If you smoke - Light it! If you drink - Sip it! If you don’t do either than just turn it up and vibe! If you are lifted let me blow your mind, this shits straight up 90s gangsta rap right? Homie don’t cuss one bit on this track, play it again!

Throwback Thursday has a classic song from a classic band off their Aqualung concept album. Here’s Jethro Tull - Aqualung. Listening to Little Black Submarines from The Black Keys and this song back to back, you can definitely see hear the influence. Its December 6th in Washington State, light up and enjoy.

Throwback Thursday is an ode to I-502 passing in Washington and to the late great Rick James. Here’s the second single of his debut album, Come Get It!, Rick James - Mary Jane. A lot of people going to be seeing Orange Auras from here on out.

Throwback Thursday is back with a classic and personal favorite song off the classic Marshall Mathers LP. 30 years from now people will still be talking about this record. Today I’m going with Eminem - The Way I Am, because this was his F you to everyone and ironically this song along with others from The Marshall Mathers LP turned the critics and haters into adoring fans. Its undeniable how pissed he is recording this track, he just let it all out and didn’t care. We need more mainstream artist to do that.

Throwback Thursday brings you some classic Korn, yes I said classic Korn. This was one of their early mainstream hits off their album Issues. Here’s Korn - Falling Away From Me, great fuckin video.

Throwback Thursday brings you a song from the Crowning Jewel in 90s Hip Hop. Its of Tupac’s album All Eyez On Me, his first album on Death Row. He gets out on bail and within 2 weeks of leaving jail, the vocals are laid and the rest is history. Here’s Tupac Shakur featuring K-Ci and JoJo - How Do U Want It. I can’t wait for the day to come when I hear this playing on some classic hip hop station and having to school the younger generation of what real Hip Hop is. To this day there hasn’t been a mainstream hip hop artist that has connected with so many people and on so many levels, with their music alone.

Throwback Thursday returns with a classic song from a classic 90’s movie. If you haven’t seen Judgment Night with Emilio Estévez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jeremy Piven, Stephen Dorff, and Denis Leary, do whatever you have to, to see it. Here’s Teenage Fanclub and De La Soul - Fallin’ off the Judgment Night Soundtrack.
