Chilling in a steakhouse with a couple of my boys talkin’ shit and reminicing, when what do I hear coming out of the speakers, Eddie Murphy’s “Party All The Time”. F-U-C-K-I-N-G AMAZING! Here we are in this fancy steakhouse and out blasts this song, I had to stop the conversation and ask, “Is this Eddie Murphy?”. The song “Party All The Time” was recorded in 1985 and written as well as produced by Rick James and Kevin Johnston. The single reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and basically was the only hit off of the whole album, How Could It Be. The song holds the dubious honor of being ranked #7 in VH1’s list of “The 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever”, and #8 in Blender magazine’s list of the “50 Worst Songs Ever”. Eddie Murphy’s vocals = ill, Rick James’ hair = amazing. Even though it resides on these lists, I still feel like people always have a special place in their heart for this song. Kind of a guilty pleasure I have to say, and that’s this week’s Throwback Thursday.

Alright, so most of ya’ll know I was just down in NYC for some r & r and to catch the Rock the Bells concert. The trip overall was fairly relaxing and chilled, so mission accomplished there. I also wanted to holla at some of the shop owners about this blog, again mission accomplished there. Although I was only able to hit a handful of shops, but hey the vibe was positive.

So for a recap of the actual concert click on the jump below and have a read. Pictures attached as well and trust me, you gonna wanna see these bitches.
