PASTOR TROY – “Just To Fight” (Music Video) LISA FORD’S Ipod Pick!! #Throwback
Talk about a club banger?? PASTOR TROY'S, 'Just to Fight' is all that and more! Ironically, due to its inciting lyrics, this song was banned in a lot of clubs throughout the South, especially in places like in Alabama. But in Atlanta at a club called 'Eastside Bounce' on Columbia Drive, and in a neighborhood called Orange Mound in Memphis, TN, it grew in popularity and became a worldwide hit. 'Just To Fight' is featured on the 'Jermaine Dupri Presents... Young, Fly & Flashy Vol.…

BUSTA RHYMES ft. NAS – “Rough Around The Edges” (Hi-Tek Beat) #Throwback
Nas and Busta are an explosive combination, on 'Rough Around The Edges'. This ill song was suppose to be on Busta's 'The Big Bang' album, but he said he had to choose between it and 'Don’t Get Carried Away' ("a better concert song"). Bad choice…'Rough Around The Edges' is WAY better. The production on this is bananas! Hi-Tek is a vicious producer. And it’s tracks like these that are forever stamped in the fabric of Hip-Hop antiquity.

THE PHARCYDE’s – “Runnin” (Prod. By J Dilla) Has Latin Roots. LISA FORD’S Ipod Pick
"RUNNIN' by THE PHARCYDE with J. DILLA's masterful production, frees my mind and takes me to a happy place. From the chorus to Slim Kid Tre's harmonic lyrical freestyle in the middle of the song, you can literally get high off this hit without drinking or smoking anything. "RUNNIN" is the first single from The Pharcyde's second album "Labcabincalifornia" in 1995. I wish this song was an hour long so I could just mellow out to it forever on repeat.

Snoop Dogg & Coolio – “Gangsta Walk” [Music Video] LISA FORD’s Ipod Pick.
'Gangsta Walk' by two West Coast legends, is as dope as underated. Coolio and Snoop Dogg dropped this hit for real ones that appreciate the good old school stuff, and for new schoolers that go beyond what "radio plays-cus-paid". This joint sounds brand new, but was ironically released in 06' on Coolio's, "Return Of The Gangsta" album. Hope you feel it as much as I do. I love it. It's fresh as hell.

SCARFACE – “2 The Beat” (from the ‘Dopeman Music’ Mixtape) Lisa Ford’s Top IPOD Pick (VIDEO)
SCARFACE, the REAL King of the South, dropped a bonafide classic album that remains in heavy rotation on my Ipod. He's certainly one of my top 10 rappers of all time. Lyrically, Scarface sets the bar that is rarely matched. Case in point, this '2 The Beat' joint. It's raw unadulterated hip hop...no autotunes or studio tricks, just a classic flow embedded in classic storytelling. I hope everyone had a chance to download the 'Dopeman Music' album because Face brutally murders this beat and all…

In honor of the rap legend, actor, and entrepreneur, I posted a video synonymous with Ice Cube's legacy - "Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It". This is the uncensored version.

PETE ROCK & C.L. SMOOTH {Interview} – The Making of “T.R.O.Y.” (VIDEO)
Not long ago, I did a survey within all of my social networking sites asking everyone, "What is the #1 Hip Hop song of ALL TIME." Without a doubt, PETE ROCK's and C. L. SMOOTH's "T.R.O.Y (They Reminisce Over You)", won by a landslide...up by tens of thousands of votes. This is how monumental this group's sound was/is to the culture, and what they represent. In the latest episode of the Complex TV‘s "Magnum Opus" series, Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth recalls the historical moment…
