Thursday Throwback: Di Di

Michael Jackson – Dirty Diana

I dunno what it is, I’ve been gettin this song stuck in my head for a season or two now. That crazy guitar has just been doin’ it for me{{1}} [[1]]Hella air guitarin’![[1]] (check the solo @ 02:25).

But of course, what really gives me the goose-peemples is Michael’s outstanding vocals. Though I can’t say I ever had to worry about a Diana of my own, I know that when that day comes (soon? haha), I’ll be desperately trying to lip-sync Jackson’s crooning in an effort to keep that bad, bad person away!

Seeing this video also reminds me that I gotta step up my concert going game, lest my favorite performers—I dunno—die or something right before their big comeback tour. Say what you will about the man; he put everything he had in his music, and we’re all better for it. While I haven’t been following recent events, too closely, I just hope that The King is in a better place.

Someone once told me that this song is about Princess Diana, a long time friend of Michael’s. Somehow, I don’t think so. What do ya’ll think?

Common – I Used to Love H.E.R.

Remember when Common (Sense) didn’t shill for yuppie white clothing brands? No? Well, I don’t blame ya.

Sorry brah, you’ll never live that one down{{1}}

[[1]]But I guess I’m happy you’re gettin paid, even this late into the game.[[1]]

Bone Thugs N Harmony – Thuggish Ruggish Bone (Featuring Shatasha Williams)

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I miss old school Bone. If you haven’t already, whatever you do, don’t listen to their newest album. Trust me.

Thursday Throwback: Before the Changes

2Pac – I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto (Hip-Hop Version)
2Pac – I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto

Out of all of 2Pac’s posthumous releases, his second{{1}} one is undoubtedly the best. Foreshadowing the future of these particular Pac verses, there are 2 versions of this track on the double album. At it’s release, I prefered the original, with it’s uplifting piano, but over the years the radio version has grown on me.

But either version is better than the remakes that would come after. To this day, part of me dies when people hear this track, and say “Oh another copy of Changes?”. Ugh.

[[1]] While R U Still Down is 2Pac‘s 1st, Makaveli’s 7 Day Theory is technically the first album (of many) to come out after the rapper’s death. But you already knew that.[[1]]
