REWIND: The Intruders - "I'll Always Love My Momma" (Extended Version)

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. Your sacrifices, big and small are recognized, you influences forever remain.

This is the extended version of The Intruders' "I'll Always Love My Momma". Because it's extended if you want to jump to the vocals, do yourself a solid and jump to the 3:23 mark. 

Little Sonny always has one of the most unique voices and he created many classic records with it. This song will forever be one of them. It's in the books.

Thank you Gamble and Huff, John Whitehead and Victor Carstarphen.

Joe Frazier: "When The Smoke Clears"Full Documentary

'Joe Frazier: When the Smoke Clears' is a documentary about the legendary boxer Joe Frazier.

It takes us from his birth place of Beaufort, South Carolina to the boxing ring in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

We learn in this documentary some of the personal hardships that Frazier had to endure on the road to becoming the great fighter he was in the ring.

Watch full documentary...

It's important to understand, as a heavyweight Joe Frazier was one of the strongest and toughest fighters of his time. His style was similar to Rocky Marciano's in some ways. He moved forward and walked his opponents down. He wasn't finesse, he was "aggression with a hard left hook attached". His attitude and demeanor could be compared to another Philadelphia fighter, Bernard Hopkins. 

People often thought of Joe as bitter, but in the big scheme of things... he had many reasons to be. The Rocky film borrowed heavily from his life without crediting him, to add insult to injury, the City of Philadelphia erected a statue of Sylvester Stallone instead of doing so for Joe. These sorts of slights often happened to him and make his outlook more understandable.

He was an American, a champion... a man.

Meek Mill's L.A. Leakers "The Motto Freestyle"

Meek Mill stopped by Power 106 in L.A. and decided to spit a little over the top of Drake's "The Motto".

Happy to see Meek killed his verses because a lot of rappers have been sounding "garbito" over that track.
