Flashback Friday: Prince and the Revolution and Method Man

It’s Ice Cube’s favorite day of the week! And we’re betting that it’s your favorite too.

Here’s how we celebrate the greatest day of the week.

Javacia defends her favorite Prince movie.

Prince and the Revolution, Parade: Music from the Motion Picture Under the Cherry Moon,  (1986)

Jai said: “I will go to my grave insisting that Under the Cherry Moon is a quality film. Chances are you’ve never heard of it, but it stars Prince, the greatest performer of all time, so it has to be good, right? Under the Cherry Moon is a musical drama in which Prince plays a gigolo named Christopher Tracy who swindles wealthy French women. OK, I realize that sounds like a horrible premise for a movie, but give it a chance. Or at least check out the soundtrack. It not only includes well-known hits like “Kiss” but also several other tracks that show off Prince’s musical genius.

This week, Edward’s selection is brought to you by the letters “W” and “U.”

Method Man, Tical (1994)

Edd said: Here’s the answer to a future trivia question: Method Man’s Tical is the first CD I ever purchased. After the Wu-Tang Clan took hip hop by storm, Meth was considered the breakout star and was on track to be one of hip-hop’s all-time-greats. He didn’t quite reach the upper echelon but his solo debut will remind you why he’s one of rap’s pioneers.
