What I'm listening to today: "Writtin´ Rhymes", Timbaland and Magoo
This album dropped in the aftermath of clique co-leader Missy Elliot's "The Rain" going off like a bomb, and had like three huge hits on it, but basically no track on this album misses so I want to play you one of the lesser tracks that never got radio play. Timb and Missy became such huge multidecade cultural forces it's easy to forget when they were *hungry*, just obscure kids who produced for Alliyah
What I'm listening to today: "The Party Don't Stop", Mia X
This is it: The greatest track No Limit ever created. Their in-house production shop ("Beats by the Pound") as their name implies were all about *quantity*, but when they cared they could deliver pure gold, deliciously cheesy like those cover photoshops. This track is perfect, a joyous block party. And Foxy Brown's here, because like, OK, it's 1997, something incredible is happening, of course Foxy Brown's here.
