That’s right! DJ Snoopadelic hosts Cuzz I Love You this past Wednesday with DASH Radio and Cadillac Music, inviting us to share his world of favorite bands and musicians live and direct. This Lover’s Day Funk Fest featured the LowRider Band, Enchantment, O’Bryan and Yes, you know at LEAST one song from each of these bands because these are the songs that grandparents made babies to and played at the park for family BBQ’s. They also happen to be the classics sampled in some of the best HipHop records of all time! Test your music trivia and see if you remember any of these:
Get U Down – Warren G, Snoop, Ice Cube, B Real
“Don’t Let No One Get You Down” by the Low Rider Band (Live)
The band still has their chops and keeps it unison, with great attention to detail when it comes to keeping the character of their songs fluid and heartfelt. The Harmonica player is astounding! Of course, he would not be as poignant without the great band he is a part of.
Silly Love Song by Enchantment
Still in sync with their choreography as if it is second nature, Enchantment put on a lively set and sounds just like they did at their peak, which is rare for bands who’ve been around as long as they have.
One Love a Cookin’ Soul Remix by Nas
Bands like these were our grandparent’s Bruno Mars’ of whose impact the best performers of our decade have kept alive.
24K Magic by Bruno Mars (Live)
Hip Hop & R’n’B have always been about keeping the culture through artistic expression and re – creating the works of our past in creative ways that keep our musical legacy thriving. Although today’s youth may listen to the new records and think “that music from back-in-the-day outdated and old”, they would be surprised to find out that their favorite songs from Pharrell, Snoop, and especially Kanye West have some sort of soul tie to the Enchantments and Obryans of their Grandparent’s HeyDay.
