Return of the Ankh

“Classic Shit Alert”

I love saying that.  As you recall, I posted Erykah Badu’s new video for Window Seat on Monday well, I listened to her new album, Return of the Ahkh, a couple times through and I have to say, it’s incredible.  Window Seat is reason enough to listen to the whole album but Love, Get MuNNY, Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long and Fall in Love are unbelievable.  The album reminds me a little of Mama’s Gun, which is my favorite Erykah Badu album.  The vibe, the production, the lyrics, everything is just on point.  On Get MuNNY, she remakes Junior Mafia’s Get Money.  I honestly like her version even better.  I can’t really say enough about how dope this album is.  The last two songs are much slower and “spacier” but are still very dope as well.  I am not only encouraging people to buy this album but I am insisting that everyone purchase a copy.  I am getting mine today.  Here is a taste of what Return of the Ankh is offering, Turn Me Away(Get MuNNY).  Make sure you watch the video for Window Seat too.  Ms.  Badu is the BADDEST. 

Legal Drug Money

Lost Boyz

Happy Hump Day to all.  Another week is flying by and August is more than half over.  I decided to celebrate Hump Day with some Legal Drug Money from the Lost Boyz.  My knowledge of the LB fam is very limited. I had LB IV Life but really don’t remember much about that album.  I listened to Love, Peace and Nappiness a little bit.  Me and My Crazy World was my shit.  I’m not even sure why I got the urge to listen to Lost Boyz but Legal Drug Money is a good listen.  I’m not a huge fan of Mr. Cheeks as an emcee but he definitely has his own style.  I like the production on the album the most.  It’s handled mostly by Mr. Sexxx and Big Dex, with joints from Pete Rock and Easy Mo Bee as well.  I need an album with Easy Mo Bee.  That dude is incredible.  Lost Boyz had 4 singles of Legal Drug Money and they are all banging.  My favorite joint was Renee.  It was featured on Don’t Be A Menace soundtrack and was apparently a pretty big song back in the day.  It’s on some love story, heartbreak shit.  I felt horrible for Mr. Cheeks at the end of this joint.  I hope it’s not a true story.  Just so I don’t bring down the whole mood of the day, I included Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz.  Both tracks are really dope.  RIP to Freaky Tah.
