Well it seems I've arrived at Monday's end without posting my tradition Old School Hip Hop jam (well, I'd traditionally been doing multi-song OSM posts for years, but for various reasons I've recently switched this to one old school jam per Monday. Here's to new traditions!), but D-Sisive's going to save my bacon this time around. D recently got word of his 3rd Juno nomination, for Jonestown 2, along with Classified, Drake, Kardinal, and Swollen Members. Well as you might expect, this called for a celebration, and D celebrated in the studio creating a couple [...]

Congrats to my team the New York Giants for winning a Super Bowl!!!! (Sorry Pats fans and also sorry to everyone who honestly does not care in the least ). So, I thought the best way to show my happiness was to bring it back to some old school hip-hop that was released when I was a little bitty baby boy in 1991. Interestingly, Naughty By Nature is from East Orange, NJ a short 20 minute drive from the Giants' stadium. Naughty by Nature - O.P.P [...]

It's all in the title for today's tidbits. It's a Monday, which means there are some new albums out. Of particular note is the Tribes debut album Baby on Island Records. We wrote about them a while ago ( here ) and if you like them then go buy the album ( here ). I'll be picking it up after work tomorrow, so if it's up to much there will probably some words written up here. As I said, though, [...]

Nothing to Lose is maybe the fourth best soundtrack to a Martin Lawrence vehicle made between House Party and Blue Streak . After all, even when they were mediocre, all rap soundtracks from the 90s look pretty good in hindsight. Hip hop was supposed to have sucked since '96, but c'mon. For Nothing to Lose , Tommy Boy organized the proceedings and had the budget and foresight to tap Outkast, Camp Lo, Buckwild, Naughty By Nature, Master P & Tru, C-N-N, 8 Ball & MJG, and Latifah for their B-sides. There's also [...]
To celebrate 20 years together making music, Naughty by Nature is releasing a compilation, Anthem Inc ., in November. It's set to feature previously unreleased material and reworked versions of tracks from the New Jersey rap trio's catalog. Here we have a track that falls in the former category. "Perfect Party" is a brand-new jam from Naughty by Nature and crooner Joe that probably would have found plenty of success a few years (or months, really) ago. But now, especially in September, a summery romp like this sounds out of place. I personally have a soft spot for Naughty [...]

Tumblewoof has been getting pretty regular with his mash-ups and kicks shit campaign. In this one he makes Whiz throw up on J-Kwon's face while Naughty by Nature jump with rejoice.

Stream below but don't download through the widget, the file is huge so I put up the MP3 version below. A big shout out to Tumblewoof for showing The Quiet Floor some love on his tumblr . [...]

Naughty By Nature "Chain Remains"

Hey oh...so it looks like I will be away from a computer over the next few days while my ladyfriend and I journey out to Vancouver and Northwesternly parts of the United States of America. As I put the finishing touches on a playlist that will span approximately 25 hours in a car over 5 days, it is important to add a few new songs right before departure...just to keep things fresh. Here are some of the goodies that are being scrolled over in iTunes as we speak. Windows open. Stereo turned up. Don't stop until Pacific Ocean. 3...2...1...blastoff. [...]
