MISS MONDAYS.

Mondays are all about the ladies here at Hip Hop Official. And today we're hitting you off with the video from one of the illest female emcees in the game, Ms. Jean Grae. Shout out to Robert DeNiro for the cameo. Hahaaaaaa.

This joint is fire. Some hot sex on a platter type stuff going on right here. This one makes you wanna call up your girl and talk dirty to her. Produced by the soul provider, 9th Wonder.

Mondays are all about the ladies here at Hip Hop Official, and today we salute Da Brat. This joint is a classic. And the cameos are thick in this video: Biggie, Diddy, Too Short, Mary J. Blige, TLC, MC Lyte, and even Bill Bellamy. Yes, that Bill Bellamy. I think I even caught Goodie Mob in there. Enjoy this one...

Wooooord Upppppp, Heeeeeey.

Little Bit

Mondays are all about the ladies here at Hip Hop Official. Today, we're rocking out to Swedish indie singer, Lykke Li. I don't know how to pronounce her name correctly, but I love her music. I love her voice. I love her steez. You should too.

Mondays are all about the ladies here at Hip Hop Official. Today, in honor of MJ, I offer up one of my favorite Janet jams of all time. Perfect Monday morning music. Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Jackson family.

Mondays are all about the ladies here at Hip Hop Official. Today we honor the Lady of Rage with her hip hop classic, "Afro Puffs." Now that I think about it, this video could be a Miss Mondays, a Westcoast Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Forgotten Friday all rolled into one. Incredible. That might be a first and only one of it's kind. Talk about a blogosphere schmorgesborg og hip hop goodness.

Mondays are all about the ladies around these parts. Today we honor the late Aaliyah who possessed the voice of an angel, and passed away in a tragic plane crash at the young age of 22. God always takes the best ones for himself. Rest in peace, babygirl.

Aaliyah - "One In A Million"

Erykah Badu - "Didn't You Know"

Mondays are all about the ladies around these parts. This is one of my all time favorite joints from Ms. Badu, produced by the legendary j Dilla. I love Erykah's voice. It's like honeysuckle mixed with Camomile, with a splash of Xanax - It's so soothing. I hope it can bring you some relaxation and peace of mind on this hectic Monday.

Lil' Kim (ft. Lil Cease & Notorious B.I.G.) - "Crush On You"

Mondays are all about the ladies around these parts. Here's a classic from the first lady of the Junior M.A.F.I.A. featuring Lil Cease and Biggie Smalls on the hook. Lil' Kim single handily took wigs to the next level in this video.

Method Man (ft. Mary J. Blige) - "All I Need"

The Queen of Hip Hop Soul lends her voice to one of the grimiest love songs of all time. And I'm glad she did.

"Plus I love that you got a mind of your own,
No need to shop around, got the good stuff at home."

MISS MONDAYS.

Bahamadia - "3 Tha Hard Way"

Probably the smoothest voice in hip hop history. But don't let the silky voice fool, she destroyed mics. And you know she was official, her lead single was produced by the one and only DJ Premier.

LL Cool (ft. Keith Murray, Prodigy, Fat Joe, and Foxy Brown) - "I Shot Ya" (Remix)

...This was first time the world was introduced to a 16 year old rapper named Inga Marchand, better know as Ms. Foxy Brown. This might have also been the last time I listened to LL Cool J.
