'Say Yes' To Chanj We Can Believe In

Much like its television counterpart Soul Train, It's Showtime at the Apollo is a venerable part of Black Americana. There wasn't a Saturday growing up that I didn't watch those two shows to get my music fix. Although I...

#25: Guy 'Groove Me'

Somebody out there may disagree with the following statement, but I'm going to say it anyway: "Groove Me" changed the direction of music when it was released in 1988, a year heralded by many as the best year for music...

#29: Guy 'Piece of My Love'

What did Aaron Hall just say? If you are anything like me, then back in 1988 you may have found yourself asking that very question the first time you heard "Piece of My Love" from Guy's debut album, Guy. The...

Teddy Riley + B2K = 'You Got Served 2: Sucks to Be You'

Since Chauncey Black has decided to sweat it out with Flipmode, Teddy Riley, in a manner, is hooking up with post-Omarion, scandal-ridden B2K. Not musically, thank God, but for a new film entitled Hype Nation, in which Teddy will play...

Chauncey Black + Flipmode = Blackstreet 3.0

Not to be outdone by this bit of gossip, Chauncey Black, formerly of Teddy Riley's Blackstreet, has been signed to Busta Rhymes' Flipmode Records. Yes, Chauncey Black, the same dude with the whiny voice who replaced more the more...

Busta Rhymes & Teddy Riley: 'Lights, Camera, Action'

Totally on the fence about this one. First off, Busta's Big Bang was a lot better than it gets credit for; it was just plagued by a poor choice of singles. So, I typically ride with Busta when it comes...
