Brought my Soul Back w/ the Throwback
In a house party on Saturday night, this was the final selection I heard before leaving. [*shout out to Ciara (THE Elegant Independent) for choosing the song- check her blog out, the links on the right side of my page] Needless to say (or is it?)- it brought me back. Not necessarily to the "good ol' days" of "yesteryear", just reminded me of what is and what's not, gender roles, self-worth, etc. Definitely one of those songs I needed to hear at this moment. Hearing this part felt like I was hearing it for the first time:

I miss Lauryn Hill...she was definitely one of the best lyricists ever. (sigh) The days of good ol' hip hop are definitey long gone in yesteryear. Love the posts...as usual ;-) Check me out...I've gotten back on my grind as well, kind of rough around the edges...but I'm getting there.

Guess we're even. Song for a Poem
ReplyDeleteI still play this joint. As homegirl said above me, Lauryn was definitely one of the realest lyricists out there.
ReplyDeleteI can only hope my contributions to this world will be half as powerful as those of true Hip-Hop and unrestrained self-expression.
Hot throwback, thanks
