Monie Love Down To Earth Zip Code

I was first introduced to Monie Love thru a few cameos she made in 89′: one, on the remix to De La Soul’s classic posse cut “Buddy”, the other on Queen Latifah’s “Ladies First”. These collabos would work in Monie’s favor, since both songs were released as singles, whose videos got a lot of airtime back in the day and expose the world to Monie’s charm and cuteness.

It was also a smart move to align herself with arguably the greatest hip-hop collective of all time (that’s the Native Tongues, for those keeping score at home). These wise choices (or furtunate opportunites) would eventually lead to Monie inking a deal with Warner Bros. And releasing her debut album in 1990, making her the first british hip-hop artist (male or female) singed to a major label. Would go on to be a commercial success, earning Monie a Grammy nod for Best Rap Solo Performance in 1990 for “Monie In The Middle”, and again the following year for “It’s A Shame (My Sister)”. She lost both times (first to Hammer and then LL (for his monster album, released earlier the same year, )), but how many female emcees can say they were nominated for Grammys in consecutive years? And this was before the category was broken down by gender.

As you all should know by now, great records sales, prestigious accolades, aligning your self with a legendary crew, and being british does not automatically equal a classic album. On that note, lets give her a listen.

The award for Best Post-Modern Video was renamed Best Alternative Video.

Monie In The Middle – The first single released from the album finds Monie sharing a tale of a high school love triangle that she’s involved in. Actually, it might be better described as a stalker’s triangle that has Monie’s sweating a guy she repeatedly refers to as”the lover”, while she’s being followed into the ladies bathroom by a (not so secret) admirer of her own. Bosch kts 200 licence cracking. I remember the video matching the Monie’s lyrics in playfulness. I love the sick organ used during the instrumental, brought to you courtesy of Andy Cox and David Steele (yeah, I don’t know who they are either).

According to the liner notes, Bootsy Collins had a hand in the production? I didn’t see/hear that one coming.

It’s Shame (My Sister) – This is probably my favorite Monie Love song in her entire catalog, but when you considering she only has two albums to date (and a few cameos here and there) that’s not saying much. The production duo of Cox & Steele (which sounds like a good name for a porno) strikes again, this time sampling The Spinners classic of the same title (minus the “My Sister”).

Monie uses this one to encourage a friend in a bad relationship to call it quits and move on. Monie is a decent emcee but the production on the first two songs definitely out shined her vocals.

Don’t Funk With The Mo’ – Afrika Baby Bambaataa (of the Jungle Brothers), Kevin Maxwell, and Jerry Callendar (which I will simply refer to as Afrika & Associates for the rest of this write-up) collaborate for their first production credit of the evening. They provide a simple funk instrumental for Monie to give a brief run down of her start in the rap game, which includes a crooked producer who tried to get more credit than deserved for his role in getting her signed (three sides to every story:his, hers, and the truth is somewhere in between). Monie gives her mom credit for her pursuing hip-hop as a career, after she apparently encouraged Monie to go for it after Monie spit a rhyme that made her little nephew smile. Wow, if impressing your mom with your rhymes and making a little kid smile are the only criteria for being an emcee, that explains why the genre is so polluted with garbage rappers. Regardless, this was a decent listen.
