If You Were Here Tonight Alexander O’Neal [Tabu/CBS Records]
Written & Produced by: Monte Moir for Flyte Tyme Productions, Inc.
This song was on Alexander’s debut album for Clerance Avant’s Tabu Records. This was also Jimmy & Terry’s homie. He was in the original version of what would end up being The Time. Rumor has it that when Prince signed the band, he said that Alex was “too black” to be the lead singer so he replaced him with Morris Day. But of course we don’t know the real reason, but what I do know is he went on to make some pretty incredible music with 2 of my mentors Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. I heard this song on the radio today and I had to post it!!! One thing is clear, REAL songs are always timeless…. Big up Jam & Lewis!!! AND ACTUALLY MONTE MOIR WROTE AND PRODUCED THIS SONG. Monte was the other keyboard player in The Time. He left and ended up being a staff producer for Flyte Tyme for many years! He also wrote and produced “The Pleasure Principle” for Janet!

“Welcome To Heartbreak” Kanye West [Hip Hop Since 1978/Roc-A-Fella Records]
I saw this video for the first time today. And I must say I believe that Kanye is going down in history as one of our generations most consistant artists. Say whatever you want to say about him, the nigga is doing HIM & he doesn’t give a fuck. And his passion for his art is growing and getting stronger with every album. He takes chances that most artists won’t take. He has merged the backpack rapper with 80′s pop with a dash of street shit going on. Whatever Kanye is making you can’t define it, you can’t confine it to a box and he is getting airplay in ALL markets!!!! Gotta love that! [and of course being in this biz, I can't help but relate to this album in it's entirety]

So, this negro got me back. I dozed off on the bar and didn’t quite realize how asleep I had fallen. Funny stuff. He got me back. NOW WE ARE GOING HARD ON THE SLEEP CAM!!!!!!!!
Today I am on my New Jack Swing shit! Here is Blackstreet featuring SWV & Craig Mack “Tonight’s The Night” [which was co-written by Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo -The Neptunes] & Blackstreet’s “Joy” [which was co-written by the great Michael Jackson]. Both songs are from their self titled LP released in 1994. Enjoy these videos. This music always puts me in a great mood.
Prince, who by the way has no song on the radio, came in #1 on the Hot 100 by selling 185,956 copies of his new album “Lotus Flower”. Congrats to a Legend!!!!
My hometown homies UGK came in on the Hot 100 at #6. Selling 71,281 copies of their new album “UGK 4 Life”. Big shouts to my nigga Bun B. and of course R.I.P. Pimp C.!!!!!!
