Even if you don't listen to or enjoy hip hop, you have to like this song. This is another of my favorite songs, especially since it's rare I can describe my feelings for a woman through a rapper.

Classic Vibe: Pete Rock & CL Smooth "Lots of Lovin" (1993)
Pete Rock & CL Smooth was one of those groups that very much overlooked by many when they were out, but when you look back on what they accomplished, they are a gem in hip hop. After all, upon release, neither of their albums reached higher than #43 on the Billboard 200. Fueled by a backdrop from legendary producer Pete Rock, CL utilizes his smooth flow and clever wordplay to touch on everything from politics, to relationships, to race issues; something not many others in hip hop were doing at the time. "Lots of Lovin" was one of their finest works; Pete Rock provides a melodious beat while CL professes describes his true love to a woman in so many ways. Yes, a far cry from someone rapping about "Have a baby by me, be a millionaire."

Classic Hip Hop Song of the Day: Pete Rock & CL Smooth "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" (1992)
I would LOVE to see these two get back together; one of the sickest producers and one of the slickest MC's. This song is a tribute to their fallen friend, Trouble T Roy from Heavy D and the Boyz, who was killed during a concert from an accidental fall.
