0 Throwbacks of the Week--August.16.2009

Welcome to the 4th installment of our Throwbacks of the Week segment. This is where we reminisce on the old styles, music and other memories from the past. This week we decided to bring to you a video from the dudes of Coolie High, the man who made it known what southern hospitality was,


For the throwback video, we present Luchini off of the Uptown Saturday Night Album from Camp Lo. The younger oldheads will always appreciate this era of music where classics such as this came from. I don't even know if i was born when this came out, but I love the video and the track will always be nice. Even the track at the end of the video is smooth. Enjoy!


The throwback album is one that most people can agree on it being one of the best albums to come out. When Ludacris dropped his 2nd album Back for the First Time, everybody knew he was a rapper that could get the people amped. This album was a vital part in making the Dirty South what it was. Southern Hospitality had to be one of the best songs to ever hit the streets. This is when Luda was getting looks from all around, especially after he released that What's Your Fantasy with Shawna. This will remain a classic.


Baby Boy was one of the best films to be released in the summer of 2001 and that's why it has been selected as the throwback movie of the week. The film which tells the story of a man who needs to grow up, really hit home for guys who live in single parents with their mothers. The acting is exceptional in particular Tyrese who plays Jody. Snoop is also good as Rodney as is Omar Gooding. The best acting job comes from Ving Rhames as Jody's mom's new man and Taraji P. Henson as Jody's girl. This film is highly recommended. The only ones who didn't like it were those who didn't understand the message. Assholes.


If you look at it now, you'd laugh at the days when everybody used to rock the infamous TALL TEES from your local Finish Line or Foot Locker. The tall tees were honestly a major part in the start of black stereotypes because people started to think that we always wore clothes that were too big for us...I mean, sagging was already bad enough. And you couldn't take that red ass sticker that said 'TALL TEE' on it, or you might as well not have even wore the shirt. But I can honestly say that I never purchased a tall tee in my life, I just stuck to the Hanes packages. People thought I was an outcast for that. It was a little immature if we look at it now, but they were the shirts to have back in the day.




Thanks for tuning in
AND
Til next time,
Stay F.A.D.E.D.
