Seattle Slim Presents The Beat-niks: I See You Jackin’ Bitch…

Well I already answered the question but still she’s a long way from being Rocafella’s “it” girl. They played this song to death in the club and I hated it. Well I felt it was dumb because I didn’t have a problem finding the man she’s talking about in the song lol! I mean I couldn’t relate!

Here’s her Myspace. Apparently she’s working on a new album.

I’m still showing love to the REAL rap sh*t and of course I had to show love to Das Efx. I know some of y’all remember this song. And real talk, I know that I am not the only one that knows some of the words. Well these cats are still doing the damned thing. I saw video of them performing in Tivoli (??) on 9/6/07.

Glad to see that real hip-hop heads keep hope alive. Check out this classic!

Real talk this was my guy! If Craig Mack and Biggie would’ve been let out the cage at the same time, with the same promo…I mean good God Bad Boy probably wouldn’t be the joke it is now. Then again, Bad Boy wouldn’t be the joke it is now if Puffy weren’t such a bitch. But I digress…….

“Flava In Ya Ear” was CLASSIC and still is. The beat is still hard and the lyrics??? Sh*t turns “ya body into anti-matter.” Southern (C)rappers always want to talk about how there’s no room for lyricism/intelligent rhymes in rap, but how many of their songs will EVER reach icon status like Mack’s? Enjoy the video and the song while I “take off like an MX missile.”

She’s apparently still doing her thing on the house/dance scene so don’t miss her too much. But this is still one of her BIGGEST hits. What’s crazy is this type of music could make it on the radio. *sigh* The days of originality. Damned shame!

Check out the CLASSIC “100% Pure Love” here. Real talk, I used to close my eyes and reimagine I was in this video. My “video” looked like a commercial where I was advertising my “100% pure love.” Me dressed as a chef? Check!
Me dressed as a car salesman? CHECK!

Do you guys remember Patra? Well I do and I thought about her while watching Yo-Yo videos on YouTube after being over at A Hot Mess. She’s still doing music though, although probably in the UK. She has a Myspace page so check her out!

This is “Romantic Call” and the beat STILL goes hard. If you guys remember, Tupac made a cameo in this video and of course Yo-Yo was in it rapping the hell out of the song. I miss these days. Let it be known that Patra exuded sexiness without having to try. And she was on her grown woman. All these R&B pidgeons like Nicole Scherzinger, Beyonce, Rihanna and the like need to get right.

Classic! Check out “Phone Tap” by The Firm. This song was the joint even though the group, which included Foxy Brown, Nature, Nas, and AZ, was panned by hip-hop critics. The album was also panned and they disbanded right after this album. But it’s funny now because listening to the album, you realize just how talented they were as a collective and how good the CD itself is. Dr. Dre produced their album and boy do I miss them. Looking back at the sh*t we listening to now, we may look back fondly on a SINGLE but I’d wager none of us are going to go and reexamine Huey’s album “Notebook Paper” or Shop Boyz’ “Rockstar Mentality” ten years from now.

We know what happened to Nas (his last album is awesome! GET IT!), and Foxy Brown is acting the ass. I just want to know what happened to Nature and AZ? Where the hell is Dr. Dre???

“The Logical Song” by Supertramp is MY SH*T!!! I love this song. Check it out.

I usually get too nauseous and way too damned tired to stay up as late WRITING as I used to. But that’s okay! Only 2 more weeks until I start my 2nd trimester and the old Seattle Slim will be back! Until then, I will see you cats tomorrow! I leave you with this cover of Queen’s AWESOME classic “Bohemian Rhapsody.” This came out when I was in high school. It’s off the soundtrack for “High School High.” Some of y’all may be too young to remember but my twenty-somethings will remember. KUBE 93 played this ALL damned day when it came out. This pissed off my white schoolmates so much! That’s why Kelly Rowland need to be careful!! Don’t mess up Kylie! Now for the record I LOVE both! Enjoy!

The Braids-”Bohemian Rhapsody”

Check out the video! Apparently she’s hit the bottom of the mediocrity pole. From allegedly skipping out on paying $3,900 for a UK hotel stay and having only sold 30 tickets to a homecoming concert she was supposed to have (it was later cancelled),, things have been difficult. Work harder broad! If Rihanna can do it, you can too!

I don’t know how many of you cats 20 years and older remember The Richard Bey Show. This show was bananas. It made Jerry Springer’s guests look like Rhodes Scholars. Like in the next clip I’m showing you. I’m dying at homegirl in the black outfit. Fashion in that decade was basically from the Fuck Effort line.
