There was a time when hip hop was headed somewhere, where the sound and melody mattered as much the rhymes. Also, there was a time when it was a more collaborative effort with R&B and Soul artists. This is one gem of the time that resonated through.

I love Behind The Music and who doesn't love closeted lesbian Timbo's muse, Missy Elliott. Classics upon classics . I've been getting grossed out by her instructing us to eat her chocha since like 6th grade. We only recently found out she's been suffering from Graves Disease but it would appear the least sexy girl in the Lady Marmalade video is primed to come back to us Sex me so good I go blah-blah-blah. Gross. drink the kool aid:

Probably the most enticing quality of 50 Cent's Behind The Music special is its lack of pitfall. Where VH1's storied series is renown for going into depth of the industry's biggest stars and their descension, as well as their triumphs, Curtis Jackson really can't count his losses since his 2003 official breakout. Did The Massacre & Curtis live up to Get Rich Or Die Tryin's standards? Please. Before I Self Destruct more than likely won't either. But the extension of [...]

Not one of the best VH1 "Behind The Music" specials I've seen. But I'm sure some of you will click play and enjoy all 45 mins. Hey...whatever.

T.I. reveals how the murder of friend Philant Johnson and death threats led to a lust for firearms that eventually earned him fed time

As much as artists (and fans) may not want to admit, comparisons are one of the most prevalent pillars in Hip-Hop. When looking at music from a roundabout point of view, it only makes sense in a genre which prides itself on a "I'm-better-than-you" mantra. The other day I found myself listening to nothing but Southern rap music. It's not that I intended for this to happen; it just did. 'Face, Goodie Mobb, UGK, Outkast, Devin The Dude, Slim Thug, Z-Ro, The Hot Boys, Luda, Jeezy...you name it, damn near everybody below the Mason-Dixon line was in rotation. That's when [...]

Trappin' and rappin' from the King of the South

Bobby Brown appeared on VH1's Behind The Music last week. If you're looking for a detailed breakdown of his and Whitney's daily drug intake you'll be disappointed, but it does have its highlights. I think mine is when Bobby says that at the peak of his fame he would find himself on a tour bus, see someone driving a car he liked the look of, follow said vehicle, then purchase it from the driver on the spot with cash. And then discard the car when he had to leave town for the next leg of the tour. [...]

Lil Wayne's "I'm saying something super intellectual" squint never gets old especially following pure gibberish. Nevertheless, I'm glad "Behind The Music" is back because it always makes artists seem at least 5x more awesome than they already are. I actually felt proud for being a Wayne fan since Tha Block is Hot . Yeah, I said it. It's kind of interesting to note that they didn't cover THE kiss. And shouts to Mr. YN who got some words in.

Scarred by its forays into tawdriness going a little too far , Vh1 has put out a press release touting its fall and winter schedule, which is actually anchored by more than one show that's tangentially related to music. Perhaps the most interesting among them to Idolator readers is the rebirth of Behind The Music , the docudrama series that became so iconic, it inspired multiple parodies . (Being ideal fodder for weekend days spent on the couch, whether alone or in a Beavis And Butt-Head -ish situation with friends, surely helped.) What's notable [...]

On September 10, 2009 VH1 will bring back its Emmy award winning show Behind the Music . The premiere episode will showcase Lil Wayne where he most likely will discuss his multiple 'baby mamas', substance abuse, his many criminal charges, and his never ending line of success. Tha Carter III , according to the Billboard 200, was the third highest selling album of 2008 behind Alicia Keys As I Am and Josh Groban's Noel . If you want an idea of what it will be like take a look at the video in [...]

By the time VH1 axed its Behind The Music series, it was looking pretty tired - reduced to doing a special on Pantera. But, hey, it's been five years or so - surely some exciting new bands have come and given the revived series lots of juicy stories for their wish list? Right? Lil Wayne and Scott Weiland have signed on to participate, and the network is near agreements with several other performers. So, no, then. Lil Wayne? Really?

VH1's " Behind the Music " is coming back: The network has ordered 10 new episodes of the iconic show which originally ran from 1997 to 2006. Knowing not to mess with a good thing, the format will not change much, and Jim Forbes will be back as the slightly snarky and slightly melancholy narrator. Additionally, older episodes will be recut to feature new footage of currently active artists. As much as I love watching the Pantera story over and over again whenever they air it (We miss you, Dimebag!), I'm totally on tenterhooks to see which artist's [...]

I'm a little miffed that Dave Simpson published his piece on the real people who inspired pop songs when I had been working on my own piece in that vein for months! Since I guess the concept is out of the bag (as it were), I might as well run with what I've got. Beneath the cut: the real stories behind songs from Duran Duran, the Beatles, and the Steve Miller Band. Duran Duran, "Hungry Like the Wolf" (1982) Romeo (wolf, Juneau, Alaska): [...]

It's been a very busy and awe-inspiring year for A-Trak . Looking at the whole picture, he's worn the hat of DJ, mixer, arranger, producer, record label magnate and you know...what can I say? The man has really stepped up his game to another level. Even with so much on his plate, he appears to be taking it all in stride. If you read this blog with any frequency, you already know we tend to dote on A-Trak pretty heavily around here because, well....I mean, skillz. He's got mad skillz. Respect. [...]

This is a moving and fascinating documentary worth watching. If you haven't seen it, make sure to TiVo this because, after all, if you're in Memphis you'll be with me at Dish on Tuesday night. Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives follows the lead singer of US rock band EELS, MARK OLIVER EVERETT, on his journey of discovery across America to learn about the father he never knew, HUGH EVERETT III, the quantum physicist. This year is the 50th anniversary of Hugh Everett's most important contribution to science – a controversial theory of quantum mechanics [...]
