Throwback Thursday: UGK - Int'l Players Anthem (I Choose You) ft. Outkast

Saw on Twitter somewhere that someone wanted to walk down the aisle to "Int'l Players Anthem" but their husband vetoed it. Not sure how much I believe that, but it's a novel idea nonetheless. I checked YouTube, and while there are some wedding playlists with the track, there are sadly none with the couple walking down the aisle with "Int'l Players Anthem" playing angelically in the background. Some trivia about the track:

• Produced by Three 6 Mafia, and the original version featured the group (this was later turned into the remix)
• Nominated for the Best Rap Performance by Due/Group @ the 2008 Grammys
• #43 on Pitchfork's "Top 500 songs for the 2000s"

Throwback Thursday: Sporty Thievz - No Pigeons [TLC "No Scrubs" Response]

The year was 1999. TLC had come out with "No Scrubs", their scathing rebuke of broke men who aint shit. The track reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was the #2 song on the Billboard year-end charts. It was massive. Sporty Thievz came along and create a response to women shaming men who weren't financially successful — turning the tables on the women who weren't successful themselves, and thus were in no realistic position to be talking shit.

"No Pigeons" was a massive success in its own right, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the same time "No Scrubs" was ruling the airwaves. Watch the video above #ThrowbackThursday

Throwback Thursday: Remember When Some Dude Threw His Shoes at George Bush?

Damn, that was only 7 years ago? Feels like much longer. But on the real, George Bush handled that like a G. He saw the first come, and he ducked liked Muhammad Ali. Then he calmly waited for the second shoe and blocked that shit. Boss status.
