OLDSCHOOL (1995) #TBT—"I'll Be There For You / You're All I Need To Get By" Can you believe it's been 20+ years already... #videodj #vjlife #videopool #throwbackthursday www.smash.vision/tbt

OLDSCHOOL (2000) #TBT —Somehow, it’s been 15 years since Lil Zane’s debut album, Young World: The Future, hit stores. Despite posting paltry first-week sales numbers — where it sold only an estimated 40,000 copies — Young World went on to allegedly rack up 300,000 in total album sales. By today’s standards, that’d pit Lil Zane as one of the industry’s top sellers, but as far as 2000 was concerned it bombed. However, despite its relative failure, one good thing did come from that album: the 112-assisted “Callin’ Me” single. Zane and 112 had chemistry. Zane featured on the R&B’s group’s “Anywhere” record and toured with them, so the pairing made sense. When they eventually linked for “Callin’ Me,” they catapulted to no. 21 on Billboard’s “Hot 100s” chart, less than a month after the album’s release (you could argue it was the catalyst for the resulting sales). Here’s the thing that most who know “Callin’ Me” will admit: The most memorable part wasn’t Zane, though—it was 112’s hook. What made it great is that it just feels like a fun summer evening whenever you listen. Maybe that idea stayed implanted due to the warm waters and speed boating shown in the video.

OLDSCHOOL (2006) #TBT—This was Young Dro's first and only Top 10 single that went 2x Platinum. The “Shoulder Lean” dance originated in Young Dro's hometown of Atlanta, Ga. Shoulder Lean Dance Steps: 1. Lean your torso to the right or to the left. 2. Whichever side you're leaning with, lift that shoulder while leaning. 3. For a double lean, lean your torso to the right or to the left, move slightly in the opposite direction, then lean again in the first direction. Our favorite line: Donut donkey, bitch I ride glazed on a haze, gator green chevy, gator gut, alligator chaain. lmao, why not. #videodj #vjlife #videopool #throwbackthursday www.smash.vision/tbt

OLDSCHOOL (2000) #TBT—"You Owe Me" by Nas featuring Ginuwine, from Nas' fourth studio album Nastradamus. The song had some negative response by critics; they called the song misogynistic, because the song's lyrics feature Nas requesting sex from girls for buying them jewelry. "It's one thing to be unapologetically misogynistic, but why exactly does Nas feel a woman should have sex with him just because he let her rock his ice? And does he really need to use his jewelry to pull chicks? And all this coming from the same guy who made “Black Girl Lost”! With R&B heartthrob Ginuwine on the hook, the song was a blatant crossover move." Quoted from @COMPLEX 2011 article: http://www.complex.com/music/2011/09/the-10-worst-nas-songs/ The single was produced by Timbaland. "You Owe Me" was a hit on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at number thirteen, and it was also a minor hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 59. #videodj #vjlife #videopool #throwbackthursday www.smash.vision/tbt
