Byrd Love

Sublime edit of Donald Byrd's I Feel Like Loving You Today from the hall of fame themes for young lovers album Love Byrd. It's pretty darn obvious Issac Hayes is all over this production. Smoooth.

You Can't Be Any Geek Off The Street...

Doobie Brother # 1 Michael McDonald gets all reminiscent about a love once had on this one from 1982 which was later sampled by Warren G & Nate Dogg on their 1994 smash hit Regulate.

The Yacht Rock crew give you their take on how it all went down in this hilarious youtube clip -

Sexual Chocolate

Not only is J-Live is one of my fave emcees due to his great knack for storytelling and effortless flow it turns out he's also pretty handy on the turntables as shown on this killer mix of love songs that have been sampled by hip hop artists over the years.

My World Is So Blue

Ridiculously good break up track from 1971 by Johnny Johnson. I love the transition from the soft intro to the moment you can practically hear his heart breaking on the record during the change up. Amazing.

Furthermore Johnny really did put the 'break' in this breakup track which was taken advantage of by Blu & Exile on their My World Is... joint.
