The Flashback Fridays #1 For 12/18/15: OutKast - Ms. Jackson (2000)

Image
The first Flashback today is from the 4th album that further certified Andre and Big Boi status as music legends of current times. A second single hit was needed after the high energy fun but depressing title choice and sorta flop that was "B.O.B." And they got that in this smooth classic produced by them and Mr. DJ. There was no long term taint however with this one. "Ms. Jackson" really got Stankonia the crossover sales it needed to become the selling hit album it became as you know. So, first Flashback of the day, enjoy. More from The Whole Delivery, soon. 

The Flashback Fridays #1 For 12/4/15: Mary J. Blige - Family Affair (2001)

Based off her rousing performance in the fine live remake of The Wiz on NBC, TWD celebrates its first Flashback Friday selection of December 2015 with one Mary J.Blige. The wicked witch was superb in her role Thursday evening, and provided all the elements that showed why Ms. 411 is always as real as they come. Taking it back to her 2001 "revival," it's the smooth joint that lead to a Jadakiss and Fabolous remix and another in the sound production archives of Dr. Dre. It's "Family Affair," as the Flashback Fridays return. And there will be another Flashback Friday selection coming soon.
