[Al B. Sure!]

I'm sorry... it's impossible not to love music like this... it doesn't get better than this...



What is there possibly not to like about that? I feel like he's channeling Jimmy Ruffin right there but with a Luther sound.

[Al B. Sure!]

Holy crap. I didn't realize Jaheim has an album out this year... I don't think any other artist has a voice closer to Luther's than Jaheim's:



What you think, Sloww? If you heard this and didn't know better, wouldn't you think it's Luther Vandross?

[Al B. Sure!]

Maxwell - BLACKsummers' Night (2009)
Maxwell - Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite (1996)

But all of Maxwell's albums were good... don't forget Embrya and Now.

[Al B. Sure!]

It's Puerto Rican day parade in Philly so here we go... The lyrically untouchable Big Pun:




At 1:05 on the next song, is probably the most bananas line in rap history

[Al B. Sure!]

I missed this one...

Songs by Tupac Shakur, R.E.M. and Little Richard, and albums from the likes of Willie Nelson and Patti Smith are among the 25 eclectic recordings inducted into the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.
Under the terms of 2000's National Recording Preservation Act, the criteria for preservation by the Library of Congress are that the work be "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" and be at least 10 years old. Nominations were gathered from online submissions from the public and from members of the National Recording Preservation Board.

This year's list of recordings features a diverse selection of spoken-word and musical recordings that span the years 1913 ("Fon der Choope" (From the Wedding) -- Abe Elenkrig's Yidishe Orchestra) to 1995 (Shakur's "Dear Mama"). There are now 300 recordings in the National Recording Registry.

In its citation for "Dear Mama," the NRPB called the song a "moving and eloquent homage to both the murdered rapper's own mother and all mothers struggling to maintain a family in the face of addiction, poverty and societal indifference."
