Madhouse Mondays: The Isley Brothers

Saw The Isley Brothers up in Milwaukee this weekend. Oh man, what a show. They ripped through classic after classic. All hands to the sky. Smoking. Dig this cut, "Between the Sheets" (which you may know as the sample from Biggie's "Big Poppa"). 

Throwback Thursdays: The Isley Brothers

You may know the Isley Brothers classic "Footsteps in the Dark" from it's sample used in Ice Cube's "Today Was a Good Day". Classic groove. Dig it.

Real Talk Tuesdays: Eddie Murphy

Wonder what Eddie Murphy has been up to? He's making reggae songs with Beenie Man and real talk? That's fan-fucking-tastic. Go on, Ed.

Feel Good Fridays: Patty Perk

I feel a cold coming on. That's no good. Need a chill beat to get this day started. This one hits the spot.

Throwback Thursdays: A Boy Named Sue

We're all familiar with the Johnny Cash version but have you ever heard the original author Shel Silverstein rip through this classic? Dig it.
