"N" Search of Ecstasy

When I went out to the club a few nights ago, the DJ started playing some of those old school jamz that just made me start thinking about those good ole days when I was in undergrad and used to go clubbin’ on the regular. It’s like as soon as they started playing “Shake What Ya Mama Gave Ya” by the Poison Clan, I was like damnnnnnnn, that is one of my songs right there! Haaaaaay…. You know down here in Florida we love that “Booty Shakin' Bass” music, LOL.

When I think about the music that defined my college dayz, these are the songs that come to
mind:


~The Year Was 1991~

The group was Jodeci w/Forever My Lady. When they dropped this album I was oh so in love with Mr. Dalvin. I still remember that Diary of a Mad Band album in 1993. Loved it!




~The Year Was 1992~

In 1992, I was a sophomore in college and there were a gazillion songs that I fell in love with that year. But a few that stand out in my mind are the Chronic by Dre (Entire Album), “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix Alot, and “End of the Road” by Boy II Men.



~The Year Was 1993~

From this year I remember Gin and juice by Snoop. I think this was his first album. This is also when Whitney Houston was still in her prime and singing “I will always love you”.





“Freak Me” by Silk ….. ~Sigh~ ….. Now of all these songs, this is the one song that brings back the most memories. This was me and college boyfriend’s song child. I will never forget when he called my house one night when I was still living w/my mother. This crazy boy called our house and leaves a message on the answering machine (that I share with my mother). We come in the house and my mom begins to play the messages and all I heard was, “Nicki, this is for you…..”. The next thing I hear is …. “Let me lick you up and down, till you say stop. Let me play with your body baby, make you real hot….”. In front of my mother….aaaaarrggghhhhhhh! I was so embarrassed I did not know what to do. He called me last week to let me know that he had not forgotten that I had a birthday and do you know he mentioned that song to me? All I can do is
smile on that one……



~Scarred by Luke~

When this song came on, everybody ran to the dance floor, including my ass. I remember back in 1995 (when I was a supa senior in college) all my friends knew that this was my damn song boy!

~New Orleans Bounce~

#1 4-Eva Ya Dig

Even though I live in Florida now, I could neva forget where um from and what I grew up on ya dig?

For years the New Orleans Bounce music has truly defined my love for music. DJ Jubilee, dem Cash Money Record boys (Lil Wayne, Manny Fresh, Baby), B.G., Mystikal, Master P, Juvie w/dat 400 Degrees, aww man they wrecked the South!

Even till this day I still love anything with that New Orleans bounce style beat. Oooooh and I remember back in the day, I would have had all Master P's babies........

But now David is my new baby daddy!!!

What music defined your college days or other part of your life? What songs take you back to another time and place when you hear them today?
