So what inspired this week’s Throwback Thursday, you may be asking yourself. Well, truthfully, fellow KB member AJK and I were standing in line at the Chromeo concert when I saw a dude with hella thick dreads, just above shoulder length and I said “Hey look!  it’s MC Eiht”, the dude turned around and it was none other then Canadian MC K-OS, known for songs “Sunday Morning”, “Man I Used to Be” and “Musical Essence” to name a few tracks. Hell, this could’ve been a K-OS Throwback Thursday, maybe another time. When I think of MC Eiht, the track “Streiht Up Menace” immediately comes to mind as the movie Menace II Society was a staple for me growing up during the era of gangsta raps, hell he was even in the movie, playing the part of A-Wax. This man has released 17, count ‘em, 17 fuckin’ albums over the span of his career from 1990 to, well just recently in 2007, his latest efforts were released and in between all that did voice work for the character Ryder in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Now that’s longevity.

So a bit of a change up to our Throwback Thursday. In the past we would post a current Hip Hop or RnB song and post the sample after the jump. We’ll continue to do that here and there, but we decided it was time to update the format a bit and post old song joints that we enjoyed back in the day on the Throwback Thursday posts. With that said the format will be intro’d this week.

The early ’90s brought us some great movies, New Jack City, Menace II Society and Juice to name a few. With these great movies came great soundtracks, unlike today, movie soundtracks were actually really good. My favorite all time soundtrack was and still is Juice. Personal favorites off that soundtrack included Naughty by Nature’s “Uptown Anthem”, Eric B & Rakim’s “Juice”, Cypress Hill’s “Shoot’em Up” and Teddy Riley & Tammy Lucas “Is It Good To You”. That song is still one of my favorites to this day. The New Jack Swing era…ahhhh those were the days. Check the video and go back in a time warp to 1992. This version is actually different then the soundtrack version as the beat is slightly switched up and this version also features Wreckx-N-Effect
