Another one I meant to post over the weekend but just simply didn’t get around to it.  Dah well.  Big Sean gets some help from his big brother (and boss), Kanyeezy.  Shame on me for not knowing Big Sean was from Detroit for the longest.

After a one-month hiatus (did you miss it?), The Sunday Rewind returns with Volume 12.  The Sunday Rewind is a compilation of tracks that ARE NOT NEW. They are tracks that could be 5 months old to 50 years old.  They are simply songs that  I felt needed to get attention.  All of these songs are “5 Starsâ€.  The Sunday Rewind is done on the first Sunday of each month.  Check out Previous Sunday Rewinds.

Cam’ron – Down and Out ft. Kanye West & Syleena Johnson

Cam’ron is most known for his own, unique style of wordplay over an unique instrumental.  “Down and Out”, which appeared on the 2004 album, Purple Haze, is a bit different.  Yes, Cam still delivers his unique wordplay over great production, except he gets some help from super-producer, Kanye West and vocalist Syleena Johnson, both of whom appear on the chorus of the record.

K-Ci and JoJo – Tell Me It’s Real

Staring at the face of what many have dubbed as “The Sophomore jinx†in music, K-Ci and JoJo were faced with the challenge of making not only another hit single, but another great album.  Not only did K-Ci and JoJo succeed in getting past the “jinxâ€, they did so by reaching number 8 on the Billboard 200, led by the hit song “Tell Me It’s Real”, the single from their sophomore album, It’s Real, which would go on to become certified platinum.

Nelly – Batter Up ft. St. Lunatics

“Batter Up” is the final single taken from Nelly’s debut album, Country Grammar, both of which were released in 2001.  Many younger listeners may not realize that the chorus of the song alludes to the classic television sitcom, The Jeffersons.  The music video even featured the star of the show, Sherman Hemsley, along with the St. Lunatics.

UGK – International Players Anthem ft. Outkast

Just months before Pimp C’s sudden death, UGK released “International Players Anthem”, a record that would feature Outkast and be known as the “summer anthem” of 2007  by many for its distinct, yet fresh sound.  The record would later be featured on UGK’s self titled album.  The song was also nominated for a Grammy.  The music video was awarded “Video of the Year” at the 2008 BET Awards.

Warren G & Nate Dogg – Regulate

“Regulate”, a breakout record from Warren G & Nate Dogg, is considered a classic record amongst many hip hop fans.  Released in summer 1994, the song tells a story of 2 homies uniting to do one thing; find women.  Though they run into some obstacles, the feat is accomplished near the end of the song.  Many still consider this recording  the ultimate cruise & chill song.

This is a 5 Star Original written by Mr. 5 Star

Let me say this:  Funk Flex is the most annoying DJ ever.  Anybody listening to Hot97 when this premiered knows what I’m talkin’ bout.  Now that’s out the way, enjoy the radio rip.  Ripped it myself.  Aren’t you proud of me?  You know we’ll update when we get the full/cdq/no dj version!  **UPDATE: (ALMOST) CDQ Added!  I also added the audio interview of Jay calling the station to discuss the record wit Mr. Cee and Funk Flex.  **UPDATE #2: FINAL/MASTERED/CDQ version added!  Mr. X wit the assist.  (other versions had Clue’s name editted out)  **UPDATE #3: (Sigh)  Dirty version of the final/mastered version added.  (If I have to update this post one more time it might be the Death of Mr. 5 Star)
