Why I love the 90's

Song of the Day: 12-18-13 Adina Howard: My up and down;  

(From the Album) Do you wanna Ride. 

 This is just a classic song from the Mid 90's. A Sexual 90's Classic. She also had a Major Hit off this album called Freak Like me. Enjoy

The video has a different beat. I like the album version better. This version is good Also, Just not a classic. By default the album version above is playing, Pause it and  press play on the youtube video to compare the 2. 

                                             Turn the lights down baby

 This blog is my personal dedication to the appreciation of music from the 90's which is my favorite decade for music.

The 90's gave us the end of the New Jack Swing Era, and Then  Introduced us to the New Hip-Hop Soul Era, The 90's also gave us the end of The Urban Quiet Storm Era. The birth of The Neo-soul era began by the mid 90's. 

The most important trend/era from the 90's that I love is A term I call The 

Sexual 90's. These songs are explicit, basically sex over music. This trend took off in 1992. Mixed with the smooth, deep bass, heavy bassline production that was starting to emerge and this sets the 90's apart. Yes, there has been artists who sung sex over music, such as marvin gaye, but it was Isolated by very few artist. In the 90's it became very common. 

A common theory prevails that R&B got more aggressive due to the rise of The Very Aggressive Gangsta Rap and it's populartity. 

So many Great songs and Artists make  this my favorite Decade. Also the 90's Introduced some Legendary producers and Song Writers. Babyface, R-Kelly, Timberland to just name a few. 

The Trend of rap/hip-hop artists Callabos with R&B Artists took off in the 90's. The Gritty and heavy baseline  production is also another trait that helps to distinguish this decade from previous decades and also future decades.

 R&B Artists had a daily 2 hour video showcase program during the the early 90's and 80's which was video soul which aired from 81-96. That exposure would help some artist get the fan base and recognition they deserved, but some artist wasn't as fortunate as others.

 With this blog I hope to highlight some of them. 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy!
