With the whole NBA talking about Iverson’s retirement, and then suddenly Philadelphia picks him up and he agrees to play, I felt this video would be suitable. Probably the funniest press conference ever, oh man. Practice.

 

A Late Throwback Thursday…

So got a different kind of throwback video this morning…

You know how you always hear a song and you wonder where it was sampled from. Well this is one of my favourite samples. I’m sure you can name at least two songs in the last ten, fifteen years that have sampled it. Check out 3:20 to the end.

I present to you the Isley Brothers.

Check after the jump for some hit songs that have used this Isley Brothers Sample.

Throwback Thursdays

Sorry for missing out on the last couple of weeks MITM followers, but we’re back for another edition of throwback Thursdays & this week will be the DIPSET Edition.

6148-772003-64305

Any DIPSET follower is aware of the fallout between Cam, Jimmy and Juelz but if not take a look.

It’s unfortunate that there was a breakup given the impact Dipset had on the game- whether through production, their sense of fashion LOL^, their ability to make hit records or even their underrated business sense.

So check the collabo below.. i know you remember the song DON’t FRONT…and a few more hood classics to download after the jump….DIPSET BITCHHH

yo L..waddup? i hit…what else. plus dome…say word? & we got it on tonight

Throwback Thursdays

First Edition of Money is the Motive’s Weekly Throwback Thursdays

Thanks to my boy MF Genius and all the Hov posts, I’mma focus on the dude who according to Fifty in a posted interview was the only dude to ever hand Jay an L on the mic.

Young heads talkin about Nas is boring, no stage presence..blah blah.  Enjoy the show!
