Flashback Friday: Beyonce and Camp Lo

Who is ready for the weekend? We are. This is how we celebrate.


Georgia Mae fan Kimberly Jackson shares this one:

Beyonce, Dangerously in Love (2003)


Edd said: According to Kim, “Bey increased a lot of women’s self esteem” and “made us feel empowered.” Beyonce’s long-awaited solo is mostly remembered for a bunch of booty-shakin’, but songs like “Yes,” “Me Myself and I” and even “Naughty Girl” positioned women as masters of their own destiny.

Corey Peterson drops off an overlooked hip-hop gem:

Camp Lo, Uptown Saturday Night (1997)


Corey said: Balancing Ghostface’s “crash at high speeds strawberry kiwi”-esque random rhymes amid a backdrop of 70s blaxploitation, Geechi Suede and Sonny Chiba found a formula that yielded a classic 90s album. Not to mention underrated production from Ski – it all just works.
