This Is How We Do The Old To The New...Thursdays

It's about a banging track...

Who doesn't remember MTUME's "Juicy" from the 80s? The track just pulls you in and you can feel the desire and passion that the lyrics express. It's a banging track so of course the Bad Boy camp had to resurrect it in the 90s with the late Notorious BIG's "Juicy." "It was all a dream. I used to read Word Up Magazine. Salt-N-Pepa and Heavy D in the limousine. Hanging pictures on my wall..." And because banging tracks don't go out of style, of course producer "supa dupa fly" Missy Elliot had to flip it for the 21st century in Keysha Cole's "Let It Go." This song has become a ladies’ anthem. I know I rocked it on my MySpace page for more than a minute and quiet as it's kept a sista has it as her ring tone right now. I think the reason why this song is speaking to so many folks now has to do with the liberating lyrics and the "Juicy" legacy. But mostly I think the reason this track has spaned three decades with hits is because it's banging! :-) Enjoy!
