"The Way You Move"



This week's Oldie But Goodie features hip hop duo Outkast's video to their song titled "The Way You Move", which was released by LaFace Records . The track became their third number-one pop single when it peaked at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2009, Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade named it the 22nd most successful song of the 2000's. The song is combined with elements of Atlanta-style hip hop, bass music, and 70's soul music.

"1995"- DJ YRS Jerzy ft. Chox- Mak


"1995"


                                

DJ YS Jerzy and Chox-Mak are what I would call a dynamic duo! These two are really taking the underground music scene by storm. Now being recognized by major label execs, they continue to take their grind to the next level. (Yes, there really is levels to this sh*t!) This track titled 1995 gives you a 90's hip hop kind of vibe. These two artists are currently working with lots of up and coming producers such as DR.G, who also produced this single. This track is also featured on Chox-Mak's recently released 4-track EP entitled "Audio Murder". Press play!!

"Tempted Relation" - a poem written by Dominique Conston



"Tempted Relation"


Unimaginably impossible it was to believe.
The person you love, and the one you desire.
The way you feel, interrupts the truth.
Truth lies, because the pain is reality.
Clouded feelings, relations in mind.
Separate thoughts, no showing of clarity. 
Years of work, wasted by a moments time.
Tempted by lust, no showing through the heart.
Lost and unaware, sexual actions denoted the start.
Secrets kept in the dark.

Days pass and conscience kicks.
Damaged internally, for which is only the truth can fix. 
Relationship conflicts.
Hiding what eventually shall prevail, set to depart and live off retail.
Instead, it meant much more.
There was love for sale in store.
Values faded, feelings effected, love degraded, reveiling neglection.
No room to renovate.
What could all this insinuate?

No longer able to retain the expression.
Overpowered by guilt, becoming an unchained confession.
Let's obtain the lesson.
In love, yet tempted by disguise.
A new pleasure, aside from being taken for granted.
Abided to set a standard.
Temporary desire, fueled the fire to cheat.
Hurt, betrayed, submissive and beat.
Just because it's different doesn't always mean it's better.
Discovered the hard way, time to face the weather.
Words and actions all on the table.
Unveiled the fable.
False perception of complacent, resulted in being a replacement.
Set in stone, engraved in the pavement.
Everything was given, but you chose to chase it.
