Rip Heavy D! Great HipHop artist. He was a great entertainer and could dance and had swag. I feel like that “hey” sample is from Michel’le “nicety” (Dr. Dre and Suge Knight’s baby mama🤣) but that song was also released in 89 so maybe that sample was going around a lot that yr.

Thank you for reacting to Blackberry Molasses ❤️

THEME: Afrobeat
Melaar
Bobby Valentino was the lead singer of Mista before he had his solo career. He was featured on Lil Wayne’s Mrs. Officer that you guys reacted to, (which is probably why Pops picked up on the familiarity of his voice).

The Legendary Heavy D basically pioneered that smooth, party-friendly rap style in the late '80s and '90s. Dude was built different - literally a big guy but moved like a dancer, had mad charisma and could actually sing too, He was Pete Rocks cousin and worked with both Micheal and Janet Jackson. He influenced everybody from Biggie to Rick Ross. The song was a Hip House song, back in te day there was at least one Hip House trck on a rappers album and Heavy D had a few. Hop House tracks could be a good theme for PC#68, or New Jack Swing also a big genre at the time that Heavy D was in, and so was the producer of the tack Teddy Riley (who was one of the creator ofthe sound).

Thanks guys! The Travis Porter club era was definitely a time :)

I can't wait to listen. So excited to here your reaction to Blackberry Molasses.

The D.O.C. was from Dallas moved to LA in the late '80s, linked up with N.W.A's crew, and dropped "No One Can Do It Better" in '89. the album went platinum, but tragically - right after blowing up, he got in a nasty car wreck that messed up his vocal cords permanently. Couldn't rap the same way anymore. Still stayed in the game writing for Dr. Dre though. He was with Erykah Badu back in the day and they had a daughter together.

I was hyped for Blackberry Molasses. I knew y'all would like it. It was produced by Organized Noize. Another coincidental connection between the songs is that Mista is also from Atlanta. Heavy D is from Yonkers, NY. Same place as DMX, Mary J. Blige and The LOX
Brittany Butler
PC #68 Theme Suggestion: Rap love songs
Carla Davis
In light of the last song... my theme suggestion is New Jack Swing music.

Additionally: we covered a song inbetween Travis Porter and Mista that we couldn't keep in due to tech diff, in case there was any confusion about our comparison during the Mista discussion.
