Drake's Letter to Aaliyah...

Yesterday August 25th, marked the nineth year anniversary of the passing of songstress Aaliyah and in my opinion the best commemoration came from rapper/singer Drake. Although he never meet her, like many of us she touched his life with that ever lasting impact that she so delicately had. Check below for the letter! (Well put Drake!! I'm never dissapointed with your sincerity and openness to be mushy)

Top Ten Songs

Hey everyone in Blog world! I know I've been MIA for a while but I'm back to live action and ready to hit ya'll with a great post!

I'm a truely huge music fan; no matter what the genre or debut date. I see myself as a sort of afficianado but hey I'll settle with "Avid Music Lover" to be simple.
Lately I've been gathering music for my family's annual BBQ and in doing so I decided to share with everyone my Top 10 songs (in no particular order)!

• Boyz 2 Men- Motown Philly
• Jay-Z- Hard Knock Life
• Aly-Us- Follow Me
• Tony Toni Tone- Whatever You Want
• Common- I Used to Love H.E.R.
• Foxy Brown ft Blackstreet- Gotta Get You Home
• Notorious BIG- Sky's the Limit
• Jeff Redd- You Called and Told Me
• Kid 'N Play- Ain't Gone Hurt Nobody
• Jay-Z ft Alicia Keys- Empire State of Mind

Bonus: Keith Sweat- I Want Her (When I was growing up my whole family had me believing instead of him saying "I Want Her" he was saying "Ayana" and still to this day when this song comes oon the whole family sings "AYANA"! Amazing howmusic can bring a family together!

Bonus: Gil Scott-Heron- The Bottle (At the time I first heard this song I was too young to know exactly what it meant but I loved the song none the less. Great precussionist and a great voice singing what I now know is great lyrics! This is a song years after it's debut that it can still be relevant!)

Please always remember music can be a key to the soul and your favorite song speaks of you and to you! Happy listening everyone!!!!!
