Throwback Thursdays

"Just another helpless fool in love is what I am..." Teddy P.

Aight ya'll. I told you from the start of Throwback Thursdays that I would be bringing you treats. Granted, you may not always feel the treats I bring, but you can't deny that they are sweet. It's kind of like when someone brings donuts to the office and you're the last to know. Sure, most of the good ones are gone- but you're happy that you were able to snag that Old Fashioned or Glazed before nothing but sprinkles were left in the box. So at the very least, I should hope my peoples leave Throwback Thursdays feeling inspired and keep it moving to related videos on Youtube.

Anyway, here's a sweet treat for you. Ghostface Killah is joined by Raekwon and Cappadonna to pay homage to the art of bagging women. On his debut solo album Ironman, the trio makes love to the ladies' eardrums with Camay. When this came out in 1996, I was just beginning to hang out in clubs and mingle. I can't front though, no one ever came at me the way this these three did. The first verse let's you know what you're in for as Lex Diamonds smoothly makes his way to a fly broad. Even without the video, you know she's fly because he wouldn't waste time with that type of delivery if she wasn't. She's even too refined to feast on fake pork. Cappa is no slouch, either. He has class, orders her a drink and even though he wants to smash- he acknowledges that she is his mirror, his parallel, his fine ass Black female counterpart. But the true refreshment is Tony Starks himself. His introduction is straight mathematical. "What's your physical degree? 31-33." While chatting her up he only exercises but so much restraint. By the time he breezes off, he has already fantasized about a home cooked meal from Baby Girl, had a Sexy MF outburst (love the timing) and endorses love of the Black woman. He doesn't even press her for the number- he simply offers his. Gotta respect that. Anyway, this video is chock full of beautiful Cocoa sisters if nothing else. To all my gentlemanly thugs who know how to approach your target; and all the women of a certain caliber that pull these types of dudes- this one's for you. A sweet and tasty treat indeed. Enjoy.
