“New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits/Chinese food makes me sick/ And I think it’s fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer” What ever happened to LFO? Come on…I know y’all remember this song! It’s so hot that i can only be inspired by the sun and the Summer time. For the rest of the summer look out for some dope Summer videos from the pasty. If you have any suggestions hit me up on twitter!

Summertime. The weather is perfect, but if you need to take a break from the sun come inside and check out a nice Summer throwback everyday at earStyle.net! Today we’re Takin’ It Back with Will Smith & Jazzy Jeff in “Summertime”. I know it’s a Philly summer favorite on the radio, but here’s the video. Will Smith’s last music project was his 2005 “Lost and Found” album, but he has recently been caught in the studio with The Neptunes. As for Jazzy Jeff, he’s still mixing and scratching.

Today marks the 13th anniversary of Christopher Wallace’s death, so it would only be right to dedicate today’s throwback video to Mr. Biggie himself. Sit back, reminisce, and enjoy the “Hypnotize” video. I chose this track, because well it is just one of the best hip-hop club songs and the feeling is just nostalgic. Listening to the song and watching the video just take me back to good times and I am sure it will do the same for you on this sunny Tuesday morning. R.I.P. Biggie and let’s keep the peace America!

Let’s take a trip back to the past, where music was more tolerable and easy to understand. I was about 6 or 7 when this song was released. I remember myself being a easy music-lover at such a young age. Not really knowing what this song was about, I would often recite the song’s lyrics and get into trouble, but the melody of this song is just beautiful!

So, now much older, I’ve grown to realize what this song is based on and the powerful message to their fans. And I’ve set on a journey to reminisce and cherish beautiful music and sweet memories!

Care to come along?

Busta Rhymes- Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See

Actually, I wanted the throwback video to be “Gimme Some More”…I will always remember that crazy video! Unfortunately, the video is not on YouTube (I guess some copyright issues). However, here’s another hot video from Busta Rhymes! Much darker than the colorful, but outrageous “Gimme Some More”, however this video is just as entertaining. Dope song to go along with some crazy tribal visuals.

What’s Up With Busta Now?: He just released his eighth studio album, “Back On My B.S.” You may have heard his singles “Arab Money” with Ron Browz and the “Respect My Conglomerate” with Wayne and Jadakiss. Dope album! Check out our review of the album in our album review section.

Slick Rick- “Children’s Story”

So I really decided to take yall back today! After listening to Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It” and the Go-Go track “Ayo”, I just knew I had to go back to the track that was sampled’s video. No matter when you were born you have to have seen this crazy video and I am sure you heard the song at least once in your life in some form! Sit back and relax and enjoy the dopeness of the track and the fresh video!

What’s Going On With Slick Now?: After he was arrested for being a British citizen (Did you know he was born in London?) after a cruise performance in 2002, Slick Rick has volunteered his time to mentoring and speaking to youth about violence. Isn’t that nice?

Aaliyah- “If Your Girl Only Knew”

Today we gonna take it back with the talented, beautiful, late Aaliyah. We miss you girl! I chose this record right here, because Lucky Libra demanded an Aaliyah track. I ain’t mad at her, but if I was going to post an Aaliyah track it had to be this one. It has to be one of the most underrated Aaliyah tracks, but it is one of my favorites. This is Timbaland at his best! The track hits hard and Aaliyah looks great in this video.

R.I.P. Baby Girl! You will never be forgotten.

What’s Going On?: According to rumors, there is an Aaliyah flick in the works with Canadian R&B artist Keshia Chante. There really has not been any official press, but if the movie is indeed in works it will definitely be a must see!

Fabolous ft. Tamia- “So Into U”

Ok so we aren’t takin’ yall too far back with this one right here. However, Mrs. Trak Girl B.K.A. Shakari was bumping this track so she decided that it should be the Old School Joint of the day. Personally, I was tired of this record when it was blazin’ the airwaves all over. I don’t really know if it was a bad thing though, because the song is good. It just was a lil’ played out and even to this day I tend to skip it, but check out Fabolous and the beautiful talented Tamia in this clip for “So Into U”.

Where are they Now?: Fabolous is about to drop his album “Loso’s Way”, which is following in the footsteps of Hov’s “American Gangster” by following the 1993 film “Carlito’s Way”. From the tracks that leaked and just because it’s coming from Loso-know that it’s gonna be hot! As far as Tamia, we really don’t know what’s up with her, but if you know anything let us know! Until tomorrow….

Blackstreet – “No Diggity”

The 90s. Ahhh…a breath of fresh air. I will always miss the feeling of music from the nineties. So many memories, but this first Old School Joint comes from R&B Boy Band Blackstreet. I had to take yall back to “No Diggity”! The weather is warming up and it’s nothing like an old jam taking you back to some good old times.Teddy Riley definitely laced this track with a groovin’ beat. Yall know Blackstreet had yall two-steppin with this one!

Where Are They Now?: Apparently the group is planning on releasing their fifth studio album this year. Be on the look out!
