  • Friday Throwback – No, No, No (Part II)

    With the release of Beyonce’s latest album, I Am…Sasha Fierce, I tried to remember the first time I really noticed Beyonce. It was in the Wyclef remix to the Destiny’s Child song, No, No, No. Beyonce would’ve roughly been about 17 years old at the time.

    – Just in case you didn’t know, Wyclef wanted you to know that this is the remix.

    – Why are they doing the Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It dance?

    – So this was the foursome version of DC.

    – Is it just me, or does Kelly Rowland look like a skinny Adina Howard with that short hair?

    – You know it’s 1998 when Wyclef mentions the No Limit Soldiers in his verse. Kids today would be like, “Who dey?”

    – “Why you frontin’ when you know you really want it?” Wyclef wants to know this.

    – Though Beyonce was front and center, the rest of the girls got some screen time. So this wasn’t the Beyonce is going to be a solo star push for DC as of yet.

  • Lenny Kravitz Bops Horizontally in New Dancin’ Video

    Those of you old enough might remember critics saying that Lenny Kravitz was too derivative and that he wouldn’t last. Well, twenty years later, the man is still here, still derivative, and sexier than ever. It Is Time for a Love Revolution is his most inspired record in a decade, and Dancin’ Till Dawn might be just the song and video to resurrect the underperforming album. Boasting a fantastically erotic video (and this is the edited version, boys and girls), I’m not sure that this’ll get much daytime play, but the song is bangin’ (even though, yes, it sounds exactly like The Rolling Stones’ Miss You). The man has held up fairly well for two decades in the game, no?
