Nelly – Hey Porsche

Nelly - Ride Wit Me ft. St. Lunatics

Cornell Haynes, Jr. (born November 2, 1974), better known by his stage name Nelly, is an American rapper and singer.

A member of hip hop group St. Lunatics, Nelly was signed to Universal Records in 2000. Nelly’s debut album, “Country Grammar” was released that year, and explores the genres of Southern rap and Pop rap. “Country Grammar” was certified nine times platinum in the United States, and was a mainstream success, debuting at #3 on the Billboard 200 and went on to peak at #1. He released the single “Country Grammar (Hot Shit)” and it peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart and #1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. Nelly also released the single “Ride wit Me,” featuring fellow St. Lunatic City Spud. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became his highest charting single at that time.

The following year, St. Lunatics released their first album as a group, “Free City,” which received a platinum certification in the United States. Nelly released his second studio work, “Nellyville” in 2002. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. It was also nominated for “Album of the Year” at the 2003 Grammys. The album was certified 6× platinum by the RIAA. Its lead single “Hot in Herre” was a #1 hit. Other singles included “Dilemma” featuring Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child, “Work It” featuring Justin Timberlake, “Air Force Ones” featuring Murphy Lee and the St. Lunatics, “Pimp Juice”, and “#1.” The album was certified 6x multi-platinum. “Hot in Herre” won the Grammy Award for Best Male Rap Solo Performance in 2003.

Nelly released a remix album in 2003, titled “Da Derrty Versions: The Reinvention.”

In 2004, Nelly released two albums, “Sweat” and “Suit.” “Suit,” an R&B-oriented album, debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart, and “Sweat,” a rap-oriented album, debuted at #2. From “Suit,” the slow ballad “Over and Over,” an unlikely duet with country music star Tim McGraw, became a crossover hit. 

In the winter of 2005 “Sweatsuit,” a compilation of tracks from “Sweat” and “Suit” with three new tracks was released. “Grillz,” produced by Jermaine Dupri, was a #1 hit. To date, both albums have sold over 5 million copies in the U.S.

“Brass Knuckles,” Nelly’s fifth studio album, was issued in 2008 and reached #3 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. “Party People,” which features Fergie, was released as the first single from the album and peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Stepped on My J’z” which features Ciara and Jermaine Dupri, was released as the second single peaking at #90 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Body on Me” which features Akon and Ashanti, was released as the third single and peaked at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 

In 2010, Nelly released the album “5.0.” The lead single, “Just a Dream,” went to #3 on the Hot 100 chart and was certified platinum in the U.S. The second single, “Move That Body” featuring T-Pain and Akon. The third single “Gone” is the sequel to Nelly’s 2002 worldwide #1 hit “Dilemma,” and also featured Rowland.

Hey Pachuko - The Royal Crown Revue

An engrossing amalgamation of such disparate musical styles as swing, jive, blues and hip-hop, Royal Crown Revue were one of the original instigators of the new swing revival of the mid-90s. Royal Crown Revue had come to prominence at ‘swing-dancing’ engagements in their native Los Angeles, California, USA, including a two-year weekly run at The Derby club, centre point of the whole scene. Their popularity eventually caught the attention of industry executives, with Warner Brothers Records winning the race to sign them.

Royal Crown Revue was formed in 1989 by Eddie Nichols (vocals), Mando Dorame (tenor saxophone), James Achor (guitar), Veikko Lepisto (bass), Daniel Glass (drums), Bill Ungerman (baritone saxophone) and Scott Steen (trumpet). They debuted in 1991 with Kings Of Gangster Bop, which sold strongly on the strength of their passionate, swinging and sharp-suited live performances. Their residency at The Derby, which began in 1993, attracted one particularly important admirer. The director Chuck Russell asked the band to recreate their stage show for his 1994 hit movie The Mask. Their performance of ‘Hey Pachuco!’ endeared them to a whole new audience, and the song was also reprised in front of millions of Americans when figure skater Kurt Browning used it as the musical accompaniment to his programme in 1996. Royal Crown Revue’s performance also served as an inspiration for the movie Swingers, helping popularise the new swing revival.

Their major label debut Mugzy’s Move, a Ted Templeman production, showcased the band’s intricate musicianship and seemingly limitless depth of energy. The set included revisions of Bobby Darin’s ‘Beyond The Sea’ and Willie Dixon’s ‘Honey Child’. Further evidence of the band’s potential for crossover appeal came later that year with the announcement of support dates for bills headed by Jerry Lee Lewis and Porno For Pyros. A compelling independent live recording preceded their second major label release, The Contender, considered by many critics to be the apogee of the new swing movement. Following the album’s release Royal Crown Revue left Warners to sign a new recording contract with punk imprint Side One Dummy. They debuted for the label with 1999’s Walk On Fire.

OutKast – Hey Ya

OutKast’s blend of gritty Southern soul, fluid raps and the rolling G-funk of their Organized Noize production crew epitomized the Atlanta wing of hip-hop’s rising force, the Dirty South, during the late ’90s. Along with Goodie Mob, OutKast took Southern hip-hop in bold, innovative new directions: less reliance on aggression, more positivity and melody, thicker arrangements, and intricate lyrics. After Dre and Big Boi hit number one on the rap charts with their first single “Player’s Ball,” the duo embarked on a run of platinum albums spiked with several hit singles, enjoying numerous critical accolades in addition to their commercial success.
Andre Benjamin (Dre) and Antwan Patton (Big Boi) attended the same high school in the Atlanta borough of East Point, and several lyrical battles made each gain respect for the other’s skills. They formed OutKast, and were pursued by Organized Noize Productions, hit-makers for TLC and Xscape. Signed to the local LaFace label just after high school, OutKast recorded and released “Player’s Ball,” then watched the single rise to number one on the rap charts. It slipped from the top spot only after six weeks, was certified gold, and created a buzz for a full-length release. That album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, hit the Top 20 in 1994 and was certified platinum by the end of the year.

Dre and Big Boi also won Best New Rap Group of the Year at the 1995 Source Awards. OutKast returned with a new album in 1996, releasing ATLiens that August; it hit number two and went platinum with help from the gold-selling single “Elevators (Me & You)” (number 12 pop, number one rap), as well as the Top 40 title track. Aquemini followed in 1998, also hitting number two and going double-platinum. There were no huge hit singles this time around, but critics lavishly praised the album’s unified, progressive vision, hailing it as a great leap forward and including it on many year-end polls.

Unfortunately, in a somewhat bizarre turn of events, OutKast was sued over the album’s lead single “Rosa Parks” by none other than the civil rights pioneer herself, who claimed that the group had unlawfully appropriated her name to promote their music, also objecting to some of the song’s language. The initial court decision dismissed the suit in late 1999, but an appeal was still pending when the group issued its hotly anticipated fourth album, Stankonia, in late 2000.

OutKast – Hey Ya – Goat Edition

OutKast - Hay Ya - Goat Edition

If you’re among the millions who have spent a significant portion of the past month watching videos of goats yelling like humans, you may have wondered: Why do goats yell like that? Are they distressed? Do they yell for any particular reason? Are they trying to tell us something?

We asked the goat experts. The first thing we learned is that the goat experts are not amused. “Maybe for some it is entertaining,” Dr. An Peischel of Tennesse State University told me. “I am a goat producer and don’t consider it entertainment at all.”

They were quick to point out that some of these “goats” are not, in fact, goats at all. “The individuals making the noises were not all goats,” wrote Dr. Peischel, “There are several sheep involved.”

Yelling, for goats, is not unusual. They will yell for all sorts of reasons. “Mother goats call for their young when they get separated,” explained goat specialist Dr. Daniel Waldron of Texas A&M, and “young kid goats also call for their mothers.” “Goats may also ‘yell’ when they expect to get fed,” continued Dr. Waldron. “If I feed one pen of goats, the second pen may start ‘yelling’ because they want to be fed right now.”

Dr. Jean-Marie Luginbuhl of North Carolina State, a specialist in meat goats, agreed. “In my experience with goats, it does not take much for them to scream bloody murder, as if you are torturing them, when simply handling them.”  Read More: http://www.slate.com
