It's funny you say that because here in Chi City, WGCI was spinnin this joint last summer, no lie. They stopped, but now they're playin it again. He has a video for it now and I haven't seen it yet. Lupe has mad talent and alot people are slow now, but they'll wake up in a lil bit. "Kick, Push" is up on Digiwaxx now as well.

RiceCube 1:15 AM - 10 April, 2006
Some of you have funny tastes in term of feel good music! lol...

anewsome listed Mystikal's "Shake Ya Ass" as a feel good joint! Hilarious!

When I think of "Feel Good Music," I think of songs from artists like Hi-Five, Soul 4 Real, SWV, Maxi Priest, and New Edition. The early 90's pop-R&B music was my favorite stuff! Add Shai to the list too!
Thundercat 1:32 AM - 10 April, 2006
Frankie Knuckels - The Whistle Song
If that ain't a feel good song, I don't know what is!

Only problem is it doesn't keep with the topic of the thread. Meaning it isn't something that I could universally guarantee would get a good reaction in my spots.

Heh! These are two of my prized pieces of vinyl. Not terribly uncomon but two that I always get a reaction from other DJ's that stop by with my friends to spin or make cd's or just hang: mysite.verizon.net

There are a couple of feel good tracks on both of those albums that I can throw on anytime (to keep it on topic). And yes they were both purchased new at the time of their respective releases. However, my dad bought the older one. =)
