Topically, RNB has been constrained to a couple of subjects: love, sex and pain caused by love and sex. Years go by, and the more things change, the more they stay the same, new cats come with new viewpoints and sometimes an old school jam gets revived by someone and gives you a new perspective on the same topic.
Take for instance William Bell's classic "I forgot to be your lover"
The reason William forgot to be someones lover is 'cause he's been busy working, and should have paid more attention to his woman. Now he's sory and he's gonna make it up to her.
The song later on got revamped by the gangster with the golden voice Jaheim, but this time it's called "Put that woman first".
In the new of age of the do-rag wearing smooth criminal, Jaheim forgets to be his womans lover because he's smoked out, shopping for rims or watching ESPN. And the song is more about damage control than true regret. Makes you think, are there any gentlemen left, and where'd the love go?

Real Life Issues pt 1: Infidelity
I was listening to Ne-Yo's "Cant, shake, lose" the other day and it got me thinking. Being in a relationship can be a strange affair, but what about when you get caught up in someone else's relationship? I'm talking about cheating, people. I'm sure most of y'all experienced having feeling for someone that already got a wifey/hubby (and many has surely been tricked by someone saying "me? I'm single" only to discover that it's not entirely true...). LL is convinced that he can get the girl, if he only had the guts to talk to her, in this classic:

Ego trippin
Given that it's fall and the weather is so so, I felt I needed a pick-me-up today. As I don't drink or do any of those things, I had to be creative. Today I give you the ultimate ego trippin through music: not one but TWO songs that is named after (well... sort of) me! I got quite a collection of tunes that reps my Christian name, it's a lil hobby of mine, but today the focus is on my DJ-name: Baby Doll for the win y'all!
Saturday Night
I was gonna post this classic track this saturday but I forgot.
I'm doin it now instead because I really need to pretend that tomorrow is saturday to get through this horrible and rainy tuesday. Anyway here it is, the super smooth "Get Down Saturday Night" by Oliver Cheatham.
You can do yourself a favor and ignore the lame "rap" intro by the guy in the strange hat in this video, just skip forward to about 1 minute where things get reeaaally smooth with Oliver.

I'm a sucker for slow jamz and I really hate gettin out of bed on Monday mornings. This is for all of you that agree with me that there is more important thing in life than gettin that make up perfect; I'd rather get some extra time in bed with my special someone.

The Sunday Sample
Today we bring you a track sampling one of the PNC-crews favorite rappers: Biggie Smalls.
"Someone" was the second single from SWV's 97 album Release Some Tension and never made it big on the charts. Ten Crack Comandments, the track sampled, features a break from Kentucky jazz legend Les McCann.
