Through the Years

Remember the time when I was so into indie music? Fast forward to today, I have suddenly become interested again in listening to RnB or urban music. It all started when I came across Lil Wayne's How to Love while changing channels the other night. It was a little bit odd yet refreshing for me to hear him sing a "ballad" for he's best known as a rapper. I also appreciated the song's music video because it makes the viewers aware of the issues that greatly affect the life of most teenagers today. You may click the link above and feel free to share with me your thoughts or insights regarding it. ;)

Let's time travel as I present to you some of my favorite and most played RnB songs in my playlist, "Urban Mix":

Dilemma- Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland

A blast from the past! I was in my last year in grade school when this song became a hit in the music charts. There was a point when I recorded this song via a cassette player because downloading songs wasn't a fad at that time yet. ;) Dilemma may be 8 years old already (how time flies) but I will never get tired of listening to and singing along with it. I love this collaboration of Nelly and Kelly!

My Boo- Usher and Alicia Keys

2004 was the year of Usher and Alicia Keys. Their songs from their albums Confessions and the Diary of Alicia Keys respectively dominate the music charts. It was in my sophomore year in high school when My Boo became the most requested song in the radio station my bus mates and I frequently listen to. I wish they had a back to back concert here in the Philippines... as if papayagan ako na manood. Haha! They look good together in this music video, right? It's just sad they didn't end up together.

Hate that I Love You- Rihanna ft. Ne-Yo

College days! I was a freshman in college when I encountered Hate that I Love You. It's one of the songs that my blockmates used to play while waiting for our next class. I'm not a fan of Rihanna or Ne-Yo but in my honest opinion, they totally rocked this song. And can I just say that Rihanna's soooo sexy in this music video?

Superbass- Nicki Minaj

Oh yes. Your eyes aren't deceiving you. Nicki Minaj's Superbass is in my playlist and I dream of memorizing it and singing it without being bulol. Seryoso. :)) Now that I'm in the real world, this song becomes my friend when I check the papers of my enrichment program class because its catchy beat keeps me awake and entertained at the same time.

Thank you for sharing your precious time with me. Until my next blog post! :)
