Old School Mondays makes a return appearance with this Monie Love classic for a couple reasons. I heard it twice randomly in a couple days over the weekend, once in a coffee shop and once via the shuffle here at my house. As anyone who has heard it knows it’s a groovy, amazingly catchy tune,(…)

OSM:: Souls Of Mischief – ’93 Til Infinity
Yesterday was the Ack’s birthday, and even though a busy vacation day means this is going up later than I’d planned, I still wanted to celebrate the occasion with a posting of one of his all-time favorite jams. He’s hardly alone in his love for the signature tune from Oakland’s Souls Of Mischief, I also(…)
Two Kings In A Cipher – Movin’ On ‘Em
Watching the dunk & errant oopfest that is the NBA All-Star game last night go tme thinking about posting a basketball-related jam for this week’s Old School Monday jam. Well the first one I thought of might confuse most folks, as the song itself isn’t hoops-related at all, but the video for Two Kings In(…)
D-Sisive – Ghetto Bastard
Well it seems I’ve arrived at Monday’s end without posting my tradition Old School Hip Hop jam (well, I’d traditionally been doing multi-song OSM posts for years, but for various reasons I’ve recently switched this to one old school jam per Monday. Here’s to new traditions!), but D-Sisive’s going to save my bacon this time(…)
EPMD – Strictly Business
Seems today is Bob Marley’s birthday, so I figured we might as well celebrate with the most famous Marley sample in Old School hip hop history – EPMD’s Strictly Business, the title track from their debut album. Obviously an amazing jam, but of course it’s not really a Bob Marley sample that is uses, but(…)
Def Jef – Droppin’ Rhymes On Drums
I’ll freely admit to not knowing much about Etta James, outside of the fact that she seemed to be a pretty amazing woman. That said, I certainly had a song come to mind when I heard about her passing a couple weeks ago – it just so happens that the song which started playing in(…)
Old School Tuesdays:: Special Ed – Legal
I’ll happily cop to this post essentially being a re-up (except for the Come On Let’s Move It remix) of this rather enjoyable OSM from a couple years ago, but at this point I’ve done so many of these old school posts that repitition is inevitable. Plus it’s Special Ed! And on the cover he’s(…)
Old School Mondays:: 1992 Edition
Greetings, and happy old school new year! I was still on holiday last week, so I thought I’d greet my first OSM opportunity the way I have for the last few years: by posting a bunch of awesome songs from 20 years ago. Yes, the title and your undoubtedly excellent math skills, have revealed(…)
Old School Mondays:: Christmas Rappin’ Redux
Well, seeing as how we’re a week away from Christmas, and that we’ve been in a festive mood around these parts all month, thanks to our rather awesome (if we do say so ourselves) #herohillxmas Advent Calendar, a Christmas themed Old School Monday seemed in order. I was about to do this from scratch, when(…)
Old School Tuesdays:: Me & Jay-Z (Again)
Sorry for the lateness of this week’s OSM, but Sunday was my birthday, and so I celebrated by watching my beloved Saints trounce the naughty Lions and took a break from the Sunday night OSM prep. But as you might know, if you’re a super-dedicated hill-fan or the only Naedoo-stalker known to man, I share(…)
