Posted December 5, 20159 yr coming soon... As for my definition of 'Old School', anything released before and in 2008 is fair game to me. Still feel 2009-11 is too recent, even if much of the music released then sounds quite dated now! First update Monday. All comments are welcomed and encouraged. :)
December 6, 20159 yr Excited for this! Hoping to rediscover and maybe even discover for the first time, many a classic anthem *.*
December 6, 20159 yr Will be a great addition to the forum, very much looking forward to rediscovering some gems.
December 7, 20159 yr Author We start with a famous collaboration... Beyonce feat. Sean Paul - Baby Boy (2003) 8ucz_pm3LX8 Huge US #1, this Arabic influenced R&B/Dancehall track was the follow up to Crazy In Love. A collaboration between two of the hottest stars of 2003, 'Baby Boy' reached #2 in the UK. As much as I love him, I promise not to make all these Old School anthems Sean Paul songs... :lol:
December 7, 20159 yr All Sean Paul songs works for me B-) Very strong way to kick it off, a big favourite from both of their discographies for me :wub:
December 8, 20159 yr Author Released during Sean Paul's imperial phase of course! This still works well in clubs and at parties too.
December 10, 20159 yr Author Classic sounding Hip Hop for you all today... P Diddy feat. Ginuwine, Mario Winans & Loon - I Need A Girl (Part 2) (2002) HX-ZEtLL7ZA Part 1 with Usher was a hit, but I've always preferred Part 2 of 'I Need A Girl'. The instrumental sounds very similar to '21 Questions' and this is what I'd describe as 'driving music'!
December 17, 20159 yr Author Ciara feat. Missy Elliott - 1,2 Step iBHNgV6_znU Big record from 2005, this was the follow up to UK #1 'Goodies'. Fitting into the Crunk phase of the time, 1,2 Step proved popular in both clubs and on radio. The pair also collaborated on 'Lose Control' from the same year.
December 21, 20159 yr Author 2PLAY feat. Raghav & JUCXI - So Confused (2004) 8GV-mMNpHyQ At the start of 2004, dancehall and reggae was at it's commercial peak. 2003 was dominated by Sean Paul and songs from Wayne Wonder, Lumidee and Kevin Little were amongst the best selling singles of the year. So naturally, this received heavy airplay at the time and charted in the top 10. Very forgotten now, but its arguably those records that remind you of a time period best!
December 21, 20159 yr 'Jesus Walks' is a massive favourite of mine. Certainly in my top 2/3 Kanye songs.
