I Love Music: The ‘Soul Food’ Soundtrack Edition.

  I think 1997 was one of my favourite years, music-wise. It was the era of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G, when Hip Hop and RnB felt much more mainstream than they are today.   I did not watch the movie, ‘Soul Food’ at the time it was released; I watched it much later...

I Love Music: The Drake Edition.

5 Reasons Why I'm A Drake  Fan. 1. Drake is a very handsome man. I thought it would be best if I just stated the obvious right away. 2. He is a talented lyricist who delivers great rap over catchy beats. He's not a bad singer either. 3. He seems to have a lot of...

I Love Music: The Busta Rhymes Edition.

(Photos: Wikipedia). Every time I spot Busta Rhymes in a music video, I smile because I anticipate his goofiness mixed in with the expected tough-guy hip hop demeanor. 5 Reasons Why I am a Busta Rhymes fan: Hip Hop music is typically aggressive and 'macho' in nature, and this is often reflected in the genre’s...

I Love Music: The Mariah Carey Edition.

    I am a big fan of Mariah Carey's music.   I have been enjoying her music for more than twenty years (it's a mind-boggling fact to realize!).   Even though I have enjoyed listening to her more recent songs (e.g. #Beautiful featuring Miguel), my focus is often on her music from the early...

I Love Music: The Wyclef Jean Edition.

    Wyclef Jean is a Haitian-American Musician. I first became aware of him in the early 1990s when he was a member of the Hip Hop group, The Fugees along with Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel.   By the time he released his debut album, The Carnival, in 1997, I was already a big...

I Love Music: The Puff Daddy/Puffy/P.Diddy/Diddy Edition.

Before I talk about the music of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, I have to stay that I am so impressed that he continues to remain relevant as a business man and music mogul. So that I don't get confused, I will just call him Puffy for the duration of this write-up. Puffy's music came into my...
