MBTM Presents: The 50 🔥Sexiest Moments In Hip-Hop Moments that shocked, titillated, pushed boundaries—and really pissed people off. Over the last several decades, hip-hop has pushed buttons and raised eyebrows. We want to examine that history through a sex-positive lens...

LOVED The Tick. One of my favorite 90s cartoons. So smart and so funny.

Even tho lil Randy was still in the background/on congas, those mid 70s appearances with all six brothers are so cool.

🎶 “I Am Love” They were always a bit psychedelic. Their earliest hits had some traces of Sly and Whitfield-era Temptations; and later stuff like this remind me of early 70s Isaac Hayes. It was their last Top 20 hit as “The Jackson 5.”

Couldn’t get this song outta my head for like a week and a half.

🎶 “What Have I Done To Deserve This?” The Pet Shop Boys have some earworms and this is one of my favorites. Been stuck in my head for like a week now. Love the Dusty Springfield part.

Loved that Del the Funky Homosapien reference on A Different World. Dude has one of the coolest careers ever to me.
Stereo Williams@BeyondTheMemesAug 15
🎶 “Rock The House” This week was Del’s birthday. One of the coolest careers in hip-hop and he helped carve a lane for “alternative” artists in the game. From Mistadobalina to the Heiros to Deltron 3030 to his stuff with Gorillaz and erything else-there’s nobody like dude.

Erybody sings along. Can’t help it.

🎶 “Power Of Love” I’ve been in an ongoing debate with an acquaintance who says the 1980s was the worst decade of music ever and every time I bring up an act—he’s like “You see?! Fucking garbage.” Ppl hate on Huey Lewis & The News but I think it’s of it’s time in the best way.

Love the guitars on this one.

🎶 “Supersonic” I was traditionally a big Morning Glory guy, but in recent years, I revisit Definitely Maybe way more. The songs are so good. I actually would love to see them live one day—even tho both Noel and Liam are different kinds of insufferable.

The way Scorsese used the piano part from “Layla” in “Goodfellas” is one of my all time favorite soundtrack moments. The song is forever fused to this sequence in my mind.

Dunno why this video isn’t more talked about. Loved it at the time.

🎶 “Doggy Dogg World” feat. The Dramatics There’s a shift from the more animated, rigid flows of the early 90s to sumthin more laid-back, melodic and behind the beat circa 93/94—and I think the biggest catalyst was Snoop. You can hear how even established rappers were influenced

My friend Alex let me hear “Wolf…” when it was new and we both raved about how great it was.
Stereo Williams@BeyondTheMemesOct 23
🎶 “Flavor of the Month” Still remember seeing this vid on Yo! MTV Raps and becoming an instant fan. Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing is a Native Tongues classic and Dres has always been a super unique rhymer. Happy Belated Anniversary

I lost track of Donnie’s career over time, but I remember when he was one of the most buzzed-about artists in the ATL soul scene. Circa 2000, lotsa folks believed he was next.
Stereo Williams@BeyondTheMemesOct 24
🎶 “9-1-1” I’m clearly not against them, but I def understand why artists disavow genre labels. “Neosoul” was firmly established by the early 00s, but I felt artists like Donnie weren’t given industry support bcuz they didn’t fit neatly into what had become just another box.

People have never agreed on when hip-hop’s “golden age” begins and ends so I started using that term less over time. At one point, I said the Golden Age was (loosely) from Raising Hell in 86 to Hard Knock Life in 98. I dubbed the late 90s/early 00s “the Platinum Age”

this might be the most holistically golden era song of the entire golden era.

🎶 “Crooklyn Dodgers” I still say it’s one of Q-Tip’s most 🔥🔥🔥 beats. And all three emcees brought it from a lyrical standpoint. I remember loving this video. Masta Ace, Buckshot and Special Ed on a Brooklyn rap classic.

🎶 “Boys To Men” It should go without saying that adding Johnny helped New Edition grow up, and this song has always embodied that growth. One thing I love about Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis; they wrote songs that reflected the artist. And they channeled NE’s story perfectly here.

🎶 “We Can Work It Out” There are so many Beatles songs I wish they’d performed live and this is near the top for me. It was one of the early songs that made me a fan way back when; love the way you have upbeat Paul positivity blended with downbeat John pessimism.

🎶 “Return of Crooklyn Dodgers” To follow up one of hip-hop’s greatest one-offs with a track that is arguably better is very fuckin cool. Having Premier on the beat with Jeru, O.C., and Chubb Rock spittin. A classic follow-up to a classic.

Third Eye Blind could be whiny but Stephan Jenkins wrote some really catchy songs.
Stereo Williams@BeyondTheMemes19 Oct 2023
🎶 “Never Let You Go” I hadn’t heard this song in FOREVER. Then randomly heard it in something recently and had a flood of nostalgia. I have a soft spot for late 90s/early 2000s mall rock.
