Eventually, my own creativity will play from this page; for now, I will paint a picture of influence with Their message, Their spirit –  and Their words: Check out these great artists and their magnificent contributions to humanity:

I’m not sure if there’s another fella out there that can groove quite like this: Peep Marvin Gaye with Got to Give It Up

One of the coolest indian song that I have ever heard: this will have you saying things that you don’t even understand! It’s from a Bollywood movie (not sure which one), but it’s about a girl that gets whatever she wants: Laila Main Laila

I know a few people who’d say that I didn’t like Jay-z, there not crazy, I just think that he rapped better as a baby: To prove that he truly did lose it, see if you snooze when Original Flavor (with jazzy being extra snazzy at just sixteen) kicks a simple question: – Can I Get Open?

Soul Brotha Number one is no lie: for he is the one man, who brought soul to the hearts of millions. Allow him to teach one of his lessons, and inform the mind with melodic wisdom. Here is a masterpiece by James Brown, as he describes why this is a Man’s World

I’m ashamed by the marketing storm that followed Michael Jackson’s death – where is the love!? He did not receive the respect that he deserved; and to just think of all that he sacrificed for creation. Here is why the world loved him, and why mankind will grieve his death for generations. This is Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal

Here’s Tupac, Big L and Biggie Smalls with A Deadly Combination

Also from New York (and fortunately still alive), here’s Aesop Rock
with No Regrets

Another group from the Apple, Here’s a tune about a girl named Elizabeth who was killed by gunshot (True story): The Lost Boyz with Renee

Come on everybody, make like Rakim and follow the leader! Here are The Beatles with Come Together

Here’s Wreckx-N-Effect with a booty quakin’ piece from the 90’s
called Rump Shaker

With a fine example of the difference between electronic talent and pure skill, here’s Al Green – LIVE in ‘73 – with Tired Of Being Alone

Those Egos need to know that we go together like birds of a feather! The Beatles with I, Me, Mine

Heat up the speakers and warm the soul with these “whoa damn” singing skills: It’s The Neville Brothers with Tell It Like It Is

Everyone needs to listen to Big L if they listen to hip hop, or are a fan of poetry. He was somethin’ special; so, listen as he speaks from his residential peaks. This is a piece by Showbiz and A.G., but watch who really sparks the heat of this fire: Represent

When it’s the end, we’ll meet again, my truest friend: Here’s the Doors with The End

Jamaica, Jamaica! Here’s the hottest rasta-men in the nation! Bob Marley and the Wailin’ Wailers with Burnin’ and Lootin’

This is a rad version (some call it the doo wop), but I just call it bomb ass! Here’s Sam Cook with Nothing Can Change This Love
