In this episode, we’re getting into Maxwell’s full discography, spotlighting Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite on it’s 30th anniversary (April 2, 1996,) while also discussing his MTV Unplugged, Embrya, Now, BLACKsummers’night & blackSUMMERS’night albums. We walk through his full run, from hits like “Sumthin’ Sumthin’,” “Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder),” “Matrimony: Maybe You,” and “Pretty Wings” to deeper album cuts, sharing our favorites along the way. Miguel also finds a way to link Embrya and OutKast’s ATLiens. Plus, we’re dropping TWO playlists (one curated by Christina and the other curated by Miguel) for this episode. Even though there is some overlap, his discography spans so many styles that we love different sides of his catalog.

In this episode, we’re getting into someone whose career spans across hip-hop, R&B and pop music.

This week we're talking about some of our favorite movie soundtracks. The ones we liked, the ones we loved and the ones that were better than the movies that they were made for. Soundtracks used to be a real companion piece to new movie releases. New artists were launched, established artists dropped some of their best songs, and big name producers gave us their best work, not just a bunch of leftover tracks. The best soundtracks could stand on their own, they lived on much longer than the movie that it was attached to did. Especially if it was BETTER than the movie.

This week we are discussing what we are calling dirty mack classics. Songs that we all know and love, but the lyrics are questionable. "All The Things Your Man Won't Do," "Hey Lover," "I Can You Love You," and more. We also debate who the second worst dirty mack of all time is, LL Cool J or Joe.

Lucy Pearl came in fast and hot like a comet, and kinda burned out like one too. But in that brief moment in time, Raphael Saadiq from Tony, Toni, Toné, Dawn Robinson from En Vogue and Ali Shaheed Muhammad from A Tribe Called Quest came together to give us one of the greatest R&B albums ever, and that’s what we’re digging into in this episode. Quick note: This episode was recorded prior to the passing of D’Angelo, so you’ll hear us mention him in the present tense a few times. RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it.

35 years ago, on October 7, 1990, LL Cool J took to the streets of New York to find his “Around The Way Girl.” On this episode, we’re having a quick conversation about the video, and discuss who our favorite “Around The Way Girl” is, past and present. We’re also dropping a new shirt to go along with this episode. You can get it and more at our shop, Nuthin’ But A Tee Thang, at teethang.com. For more episodes, head to our website, troypodcast.com.

Originally released in December 2021, here’s another episode that we think hasn't gotten enough attention. It's another one of our "One Hit Wonder?" episodes, and this time we're digging into the career of Montell Jordan. A lot of people have written him off as a one hit wonder because of "This Is How We Do It," but around these parts, we know better. Join us as we get into some of our favorite Montell jams and discuss the insanity of the "Get It On Tonite" video. For more episodes, head to our website, troypodcast.com.

Originally released in November 2021, here’s another episode that we’ve taken from the vault and remixed. We're taking a look at the career of Sir Mix-A-Lot, and discussing whether or not he has been unfairly stamped as a one hit wonder, due to the massive popularity of "Baby Got Back." Is it justified, or do his other contributions to hip-hop exclude him from this label? For more episodes, head to our website, troypodcast.com.

In honor of today being the 30th anniversary the original airing, we’re revisiting one of our early episodes, where we reviewed the controversial 1995 Source Awards. The show itself became secondary to the many explosive moments that happened on stage. From the so-called east coast/west coast rivalries playing out in front of the world, to Andre 3000 lighting the fuse that helped take southern hip-hop to the next level. This show had something for everybody. If you would like to actually watch the ’95 Source Awards, hit the link below for our newsletter, Liner Notes. We put it in our most recent post from Friday.

In our last episode, we broke down the music of 2Pac, now we're flipping the script (see what we did there?) and diving into the film career of Tupac Shakur. We rewatched his entire filmography and reviewed every role, from the iconic to the...not so great. From his chilling performance as Bishop in Juice to his nuanced portrayal of heroin-addicted jazz musician in Gridlock'd, we cover all six of his films. We're discussing favorite scenes, favorite characters and favorite lines. We also get into what roles made famous by others that we would have liked to have seen Tupac play, and which of his characters that we could be friends with. This episode is filled with spoilers, but these movies came out over 30 years ago, so, you've had time. :-) For more episodes that we've done, head to our website, troypodcast.com.

On this episode, we're getting into the musical evolution of 2Pac, one of hip hop's most complex and controversial voices. From the militant and revolutionary 2Pacalypse Now through the paranoia and revenge themes of The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. We get into our favorite songs and talk about how each album reflected who 2Pac was at that particular moment. Join us on a journey through the music that defined the legacy of one of the all-time greats. For more episodes that we've done, head to our website, troypodcast.com.

In this episode, we're discussing how Uptown Records reshaped that sound and style of a generation. From the rise of new jack swing with Teddy Riley and Guy, to Mary J. Blige and Jodeci redefining what R&B could be, Uptown didn't follow trends, it set trends. Uptown also helped to bring Black culture to both big and small screens with the film Strictly Business, and New York Undercover tv show. With the Uptown MTV Unplugged special, they proved that hip hop and R&B could hold its own in the same arena as pop and rock legends. Uptown was more than just a record label, and was the blueprint for pretty much every urban record label that followed. For more Uptown content that we've done, head to our website and check out our episodes on Mary J. Blige (Episodes 9 & 77,) Jodeci (Episode 40,) Heavy D (Episode 69) and Teddy Riley (Episodes 70 & 71.)

Teena Marie. Jon B. Lisa Stansfield. Bobby Caldwell. What do these people have in common? Yes, they're white, and they made some jammin' ass songs. In this episode, we're diving into our favorite "White People Jams." The kind of songs that you can slide into a playlist between Mary J. Blige and Janet Jackson without skipping. Joining us on this mission is our fam from the Queue Points Podcast, Jay Ray and DJ Sir Daniel. We break down what qualifies as a "White People Jam," run down some of our personal favorites that stay in rotation, share which artists we didn't know were white, and close out the episode by handing out the "Teena Marie Awards." Once you've finished the episode, head over to our website to check out the playlist that we put together for y'all to jam to.

On this episode, we’re talking about the 1995 classic Friday, starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. A film that’s still serving up laughs and quotables 30 years later. We get into what set Friday apart from the other so-called “hood” movies of the ’90s and early 2000s. While most leaned into violence and heavy drama, Friday took a different route, spotlighting the humor and everyday moments of life in the hood. Plus, we give a quick, spoiler-free review of One Of Them Days, a new release that share the same comedic DNA.

A lot of people that we now call stars, were once background singers and backup dancers. If you listen to some of your favorite songs or watch some videos you’ll recognize some voices and faces that you may have never noticed before. But not all of these stories have a superstar ending. A lot of people were able to carve out solid and recognizable careers, even if they weren’t household names. You definitely remember them, though. That's what we're discussing on this episode, some of your favorite hook singers like Tammy Lucas, Vinia Mojica and LaToiya Williams, as well as video and tour dancers like Oaktown's .357 (MC Hammer), Str8 Ahead (Bell Biv DeVoe) and Hot Dog (Chubb Rock).

This week we're discussing 3 brothers from Boston, Massachusetts, who were able to bridge the gap between hip hop and R&B in a way that hadn’t been done up until that point. Their music was “mentally Hip Hop, smoothed out on the R&B tip, with a Pop feel, appeal to it.” We're talking about Bell Biv Devoe. Made up of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe—all members of New Edition—they branched off and blew up in 1990 with Poison, an album that defined the "new jack swing" era, and this week just happens to be the 35th anniversary (damn!) of its release, so we decided to get into that and more!

We get into some of our favorite albums and artists, discuss some lesser known acts, as well as talking about the non-musical influences on fashion, movies and television.

Here is the Angie Stone tribute from our friends at Queue Points Podcast, that we spoke about in the intro. And here's a list to the playlist for this episode.

This week, we're doing another anniversary episode, and this time we're celebrating the anniversary of Kelis' debut album, Kaleidoscope. Wither he colorful hair and punk attitude, she literally burst onto the scene screaming "I hate you so much right now!" backed by the sounds of Chad Hugo & Pharrell Williams, aka The Neptunes. We get into how this album is a mix of several genres rather than just straight R&B. With its collage of electronic, funk, hip hop and rock influences, Kelis and The Neptunes gave us an album with a sound that we hadn't really heard before, and it kicked off a production style that continues to this day.
