JoinDaCrowd Radio: (Episode 26) When R&B Was Rhythm and Blues (Vol. 2 of 4)

By Crowd Editor 6:44:00 PM , ,

 

Motzy Says......

"Early on music artists like Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight and The Temptations created a sound of music that blended soul, country funk and pop. Mostly based around the ins and outs of love and relationships, we would later deem this sound as rhythm and blues because of its melodies combined with storytelling. Broken down into 4 volumes of 24/25 songs each, here is more of our personal favorites that most call classics as we keep this series going. Hope you enjoyed volume 2. 2 more to go. Stay tuned....."

JoinDaCrowd Radio: (Episode 25) Greatest Hip-Hop Groups

By Crowd Editor 10:55:00 PM , ,

 

Motzy Says....... 

"With the likes of The Lox and The Migos, we still get the feel and sound of what it's like to see a Hip-Hop/Rap group still prosper since the days of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run-DMC and NWA. When I was putting this playlist together I wasn't expecting it to be 60 songs and 4+ hours but with soo many great groups out there I couldn't stop adding to it. When I finally got to the end, I realized that the "hip-hop group" was becoming damn near extinct. The Migos, yes The Migos are probably the last of the rap groups that I can say left a mark and really influenced the culture. Now there are collectives out there like Griselda but I don't see them as a group because they are considered a label of MC's, kinda like D-Block, so I can only hope that more great groups will emerge, but for now l hope you guys enjoyed this bundle of classics. Oh yeah, even though they didn't make MY playlist, shouts to groups like The Beastie Boys, Kris-Kross, The Lost Boyz as well as House Of Pain."

Join Da Crowd Radio: (Episode 24) As Produced by Timbaland

By Crowd Editor 12:32:00 PM , ,

 

Motzy Says.....
"When I first really heard a Timbaland beat, I was like WTF is this? Is that a baby? It was the Aaliyah, “Are You That Somebody” song and ever since then, I knew dude was gonna be a problem. The Missy run was incredible. They were like Jordan and Pippen but then the songs he did with Jay-Z just solidified his skills as a producer.  To working on whole albums with Justin Timberlake and making some of the biggest Pop and Hip-Hop records, Timbo is truly one of the best producers EVER! Hope y’all enjoyed."
