Subway Art - Matha Cooper Henry Chalfant
I think this is a promotional video for the re-release of the amazing Subway Art book that came out in the 1980's. A graffiti bible.

TCF Crew Go To The Horse's Mouth (Cold Chillin') 1991
Thanks to http://www.back2basics.biz/ for bringing this to my attention. It's a nice old skool rnb tune from the US. Thanks to ths guy for the link also-http://djsoulnyc.blogspot.com/
Mary J Blige My Life-I Love You (MCA) 1994
This cut is taken from Mary's best-My Life. This was a real soul album and sampled the 70's to death! We had Barry White, Curtis Mayfield, Roy Ayers, Mary Jane Girls...amongst others. The real emotion in the tracks here really didn't go unmissed on me. Apparently this was written after she broke up with that bloke from Jodeci.. I found her later albums to have no soul and poor lyrics to be quite honest, maybe she had no subject matter.. Anyway, the track I have selected here is 'I Love You' and the Isaac Hayes sample really does provide the perfect backdrop with that classic piano loop.
Mona Lisa You Said (Island) 1996
Love this tune. This was from Mona Lisa who was one of the commercial rnb artists of the mid 90's. Despite this, rnb still wasn't as big as it is today and there were many real soul hits from this era-this being one of them alongside Faith Evans' stuff and also the classic Mary J Blige album My Life. Real soul with real emotion. Wicked tune.
Innocence A Matter Of Fact (Cooltempo) 1990
How did I forget to put this on here? Innocence A Matter Of Fact...what a lovely tune this is. This was from their seminal album Belief which I have harped on about in previous posts. If you're STILL sleeping on this album then you've been in a coma for 17 years. I urge you to go and buy the album (Belief) and all the Innocence stuff! It can be picked up so cheap as well. As a matter of fact, 90% of the stuff on this blog can be. This is music WORTH buying. Go download the crap that's not worth buying but these old tunes deserve some respect and you really need to own the vinyl to appreciate these as they're from the vinyl era! 'I haven't got a record player' I hear the tight arses scream...BUY ONE!

LL Cool J feat Boyz II Men Hey Lover (Def Jam) 1995
Absolute classic tune from LL Cool J and Boyz II Men. Borrows a sample from Michael Jackson's 'The Lady In My Life' from his Thriller album. Works so well. Sounds as good now as it did back in '95. Timeless.
Micheal Jackson Lady In My Life
