2003 love


12: jaylib "the official/the red"


cd: outkast "Speakerboxxx,The Love Below"


fm: twista "slow jamz", luda "splash waterfalls", usher "yeah" (Jem Aswad of Entertainment Weekly called it "irresistibly crunked-out", Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine said that the song has brought Usher to a "whole new level of crunk.")





nice.





haha jamie foxx on my radio in 2003

Yeah, that's an impressive list. Frontin' is still so awesome. I wish Pharrell would have tried that route more, basically making modern radio pop that still has that Prince quality, rather than "Can I have it like that".


Glad to be reminded of this one too, always thought it a bit underrated:





Really brilliant beat - another Dre/Elizondo masterpiece I guess. Very melodic, yet stripped down. Just perfect modern funk.

Great list, M***. This is thread is making me crazy nostalgic especially since I really don't listen to hip hop that much these days. Thank you for posting!
