Music Video Mix Show Theater 5000: Ep. 16 | Smooth R&B & Soulful Hip‑Hop

Music Video Mix Show Theater 5000: Ep. 15 | James Brown Hot Tub Funk Machine

Had to bust out the Hot Tub for this JB tribute stream. James Brown classics along lesser known tracks, and covers. Also included are the songs by related artists from The JB’s, Dee Felice Trio, to his funky divas Marva Whitney, Lyn Collins, etc. Hip-Hop would be totally different or maybe even non-existant without James…

Chat Room Get Down: Ep.13 | All Prince + Related Artists Show

It’s crazy that it’s already been 5 years since Prince passed away. The show fell on the night as his death anniversary so I decided to do a little Prince tribute during the stream. A little more focused on his dance tracks and geared towards what street dancers would typically get down to. Hits, lesser…

Music Video Mix Show Theater 5000: Ep. 11 | 90’s R&B Queens

Did a tribute to some of my favorite R&B Queen’s of the 90’s. There’s nothing like R&B from that era. The grooves, the fashion, the lyrics and fresh videos. What an amazing era and some of the best to ever do it were women. This set featured some groups from SWV, TLC, Brownstone, En Vogue,…

Music Video Mix Show Theater 5000 : Ep. 9 | Dancers in Music Videos pt. 2

In part 2 of this series, I revisited a few throwbacks with choreography heavy videos from B2K, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey and Missy Elliot. I always liked the routines they did in their videos. Especially in Mariah and Missy’s probably due to the fact that Elite Force and Housing Authority were the choreographers. Although…
