![]() Some of the singles did okay, but the album flopped. It was promo only and i was lucky enough to record it off the radio the one time they played it. "dj keep playin (black out remix)" with canibus and black rob (rip) She was always hiphop adjacent and very good at it, so this remix is another easy pick on any "best of 90s" playlist: ( this is a dance song so ya'll gotta get into it! - oc + yvette perform "far from yours" and "dj keep playin" on teen summit, dec 97.) it was timed perfectly to co-promote oc's second album (another highlight of 97) and her debut album and it worked like magic on me: So besides the funkmaster flex mixtape features, this feature on oc's "far from yours" is really what put her on my radar. *"everyday + everynight", "i'm not feelin you", "crazy", and (my favorite) "dj keep playin (get your music on)" however, deep cuts are my favorite cuts and this album has one of my favorite songs of the decade. i've heard it so many times that every song has been my favorite at one point or another. It's a genuinely tough choice for me to pick. in the meantime, here's the remix for sadat x's "loud hangover" from 1996, which features yvette on the hook and a verse from akinyele: i'll get some links together for the more substantial ones in a bit. maybe you even remember one of the singles?Īlso there's a ton of non-album material she did that's all really good. very few votes to be cast most likely, but if you like other 90s radio r+b like mary j, aaliyah, + 702 definitely check it out. even at the time, i knew it was "lightweight" and yet that's also why i really loved it.Īnd she was from the bronx and sang about how cool djs were, so that was instant credibility.Īnyway, it's an album i've known for most of my life and i'm still not tired of it. suggestive and sassy, but still pleasant. she was like a more smooth mary j, her voice reminds me of sade in some of its timbres, and the (excellent) full force production makes for a brilliant game of "name that sample." it is so wonderfully dated. ![]() ![]() Nothing about it is original or unique whatsoever. (hi i've always been a walking contradiction, nice to meet you.) ![]() jammed it constantly whilst simultaneously listening to nothing but "the real shit" nyc hiphop and hating on the post-biggie success of "fake ass badboy records." ![]() a highly anticipated album i bought on its release date in the summer of `97, it was an instant personal classic. ![]()
