Disco
Disco is a genre of dance music and a subculture that emerged in the 1970s from the United States' urban nightlife scene. Its sound is typified by four-on-the-floor beats, syncopated basslines, string sections, brass and horns, electric piano, synthesizers, and electric rhythm guitars. Disco started as a mixture of music from venues popular with Italian Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans and Black Americans "'Broadly speaking, the typical New York discothèque DJ is young (between 18 and 30) and Italian,' journalist Vince Lettie declared in 1975. ..Remarkably, almost all of the important early DJs were of Italian extraction .. Italian Americans have played a significant role in America's dance music culture .. While Italian Americans mostly from Brooklyn largely created disco from scratch .." in Philadelphia and New York City during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Disco can be seen as a reaction by the 1960s counterculture to both the dominance of rock music ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Weekend Love (Queen Latifah Song)
''Black Reign'' is the third studio album by American rapper Queen Latifah, released in 1993. ''Black Reign'' was her most successful album up to that point, peaking at number 60 on the ''Billboard'' 200. The album also peaked at number fifteen on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album sold in excess of 500,000 copies, achieving gold status. Critical reception '' Trouser Press'' wrote that Latifah "rhymes over bottom-booming jeep beats and sings to sweet soul, dancehall and, in the case of 'Winki’s Theme,' a song for her late brother, a live jazz quartet." '' The New York Times'' wrote: "As one of hip-hop's true vocal virtuosos, Queen Latifah tosses off articulate, quick-changing syncopations when she raps, slipping in and out of a Jamaican accent and singing melodic choruses in a sweet, strong voice."

Order In The Court
''Order in the Court'' is the fourth studio album by the American hip-hop artist and actress Queen Latifah. The album was released on June 16, 1998, by Motown Records and would be Latifah's last album with Motown. Partly dedicated to The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur, it is her first album to have a Parental Advisory warning on it. Before the album's release, Latifah and Foxy Brown had been arguing over who was the real ''Queen''. On the album's second track, "Court Is In Session" Latifah portrayed herself as a judge presiding over the current state of hip-hop music by taunting her rivals, including Foxy. However, with the closing track, "Life", Latifah comes to realize that feuding with other female rappers was futile, given the untimely and recent deaths of Biggie and Tupac. Both "Black On Black Love" and "Life" celebrate the black community, black love, and black businesses. More so than Latifah's other hip-hop albums, this one focuses on her legacy and attempts to ce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Toné!, but it was a remixed version of the song " Not Tonight"—performed by Lil' Kim and featuring Da Brat, Left Eye, Angie Martinez, and Missy Elliott—that garnered the most attention from the soundtrack as it gained much airplay on television and radio and reached the top ten on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. The film was shot at various locations in California and New Jersey. The main California locations were Los Angeles—including the U.S. Bank Tower for Nick's office—and Monrovia. The main location in New Jersey was Bloomfield. Plot Advertising executive Nick Beam thinks his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
