Old Skool Joint(s) of the Week: Valentine's Edition

Look, I know this blog's been on life support lately (I mean we're halfway through February and we've only got one post all year, what is that shit?), but I think it's time to revive this with a theme post. Instead of sitting around hating on Valentine's Day, I thought it might be nice to just roll with it and throw up a few of the songs we all used to get down to back in the day. And by "get down to" I definitely mean "stand awkwardly against the wall to at school dance."

DL: Next - Wifey

Now I'm pretty sure no one uses the word "wifey" any more, but that doesn't mean that the message these boys are trying to get across is any less effective. I mean, "either braids or weave, skirt or jeans, you're still my queen"? That is some unconditional shit.

DL: Tyrese - Lately

Does Tyrese being part of this post need any explanation beyond the fact that I had pictures of him plastered all over my 8th grade agenda? Answer: No.

DL: Jagged Edge - Let's Get Married (Remix)

Now, I'm not really one for marriage, but if someone were to ever propose to me all they'd need to say is "meet me at the altar in your white dress. We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do this" and I'd be all up on that shit. I mean, I'd still say no, but I'd definitely appreciate the gesture.

DL: K-Ci & JoJo - All My Life

When you're listening to this one, just pretend Nelly never ever sampled that piano bit and you'll feel a lot better. Oh, you didn't remember that song even existed until I reminded you? You're welcome.

DL: Musiq Soulchild - Just Friends

Do I have a person history with this song, and is this person history the fact that a boy told me to listen to it when I was 14 as his way of telling me he was into me? No. Definitely not.

We Fail At Video Blogging

Oh hey, we didn't forget that we have a blog. We know it's sitting here without any new posts and we're sure our non-existent readers have been very worried about where we've been. Btw, we're fine, thanks for asking.

Anyway, the point of this post is that once upon a time (read: last september) we got this crazy idea that we should do a video blog. Originally, the plan was to pick posts off Yahoo Answers and come up with hilarious advice, but instead we kind of just wound up sitting in front of a camera for an hour talking about nothing at all. Below are 10 minutes that include us complaining about how much we hated little kids running around at church (it gets pretty heated. We talk about that shit for 5 whole minutes) and us sitting in awkward silence to an amazing soundtrack. I really think it'll be worth your time.
