The As-I-Amber Podcast & BlogKanye West sampled Chaka Khan’s 1984 hit R&B ballad “Through The Fire” on his 2004 hit “Through The Wire” off “The College Dropout” album. I think sampled songs are generation gap connectors and a way to introduce older songs to younger generations. It’s also a way for newer artists to pay homage to the great artists before them.

Missy Elliott is the recipient of the 2019 MTV Video Music Award’s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Missy is so talented and deserving of the award.

I miss the girl groups of the 90’s and 2000’s. One of my favorite girl groups was Destiny’s Child. I remember buying “The Writings on the Wall” album from Wal-Mart when I was in elementary school. I was so hype. I had saved my lil’ money up and really wanted to have their CD after seeing them on The WB TV-show “Smart Guy” where they made a guest appearance. I even wanted my hair burgundy and curly like Latavia in the “Bills Bills Bills” music video and my room like Beyoncé’s on The MTV CRIBS episode where her bedroom ceiling was painted to look like clouds. If there is ever a reunion tour in the future I will have to be there! This playlist consists of my favorite songs from Destiny’s Child.
