CHRISTMAS MUSIC

I realized I forgot to include the title in the post above. It's titled "This Christmas." The album did pretty good back in it's time. They remastered it and re-released it just a few years later. The rest of the songs on the album are traditional covers yet the fellas breathe new life into the songs with their harmonies.

I found this new song on J. Cole's mixtape called "Home For The Holidays":

Hmmmm...I like the production. But that dude is just way to common on the mic. I've always had a problem with explicit music. I think that's the whole thing is just foul.

One of the most random Christmas albums ever that I love is the Quad City All-Stars Christmas album. The idea of a Bass/Hip-Hop/R-N-B album from the people that brought us 95 South, Quad City DJ's, Dis N Dat, and 69 Boyz is just funny to me. But I love it.

Here's a link to peep the album for those that care...

That's a dope song AJ, Quad City brings the energy! I like that J. Cole song but your point about him cursing on it so much is definately the one thing that keeps it from being a classic song....

well if anybody like those mcs made the song like that i'd say the same thing, a lot of mcs ending up force cursing in their songs so much that it doesn't make sense, let's get it clear that even though i'm a fan of dmx doesn't mean that i approve of everything he says in his songs, btw you mentioned ice cube, i like the west
side connection song on the friday after next soundtrack:

I wanted to take it back to the spirit of Christmas (with real Christmas songs). In 1993 Be Be & Ce Ce Winans released a great album called First Christmas. If you like early 90's R-N-B, u'll like this.

Yeah, I like this too. I was gonna post that Joe released a Christmas EP thur' Target last year. However, when I looked for a link, he apparently probably released a full album this year that I didn't even know about. It has all 6 songs off the original EP plus 4 others. U can preview the songs in the link!!

I was just listening 2 this. I had no idea there was a video until just now. Anyone remember Willa Ford (from 2001) who had the song "I Wanna B Bad" with Royce The 5'9"?
