Slap-per (Slahp- Er)- (noun) A tremendously infectious musical selection, often played repeatedly at high volumes. (see also Slaps, Knock, Bump, The Jam, etc)

It's getting to be "sun season,"  and that means less clothes, and MORE music!  If you're like me, always flipping through CDs and playlists, trying to settle on that perfect "slapper," than it's time to turn your ride ino a time machine. 

On this day (Apr 17) in the 90's these were considered the Slap:

1999 No Scrubs TLC   iTunes
1998 All My Life K-Ci & JoJo Rhapsody iTunes
1997 Can't Nobody Hold Me Down Puff Daddy featuring Ma$e Rhapsody iTunes
1996 Because You Loved Me Celine Dion Rhapsody iTunes
1995 This Is How We Do It Montell Jordan Rhapsody iTunes
1994 Bump N' Grind R. Kelly Rhapsody iTunes
1993 Informer Snow Rhapsody iTunes
1992 Save the Best for Last Vanessa Williams Rhapsody iTunes
1991 You're in Love Wilson Phillips Rhapsody iTunes
1990 Nothing Compares 2 U Sinead O'Connor   iTunes

 

Present: Black Eyed Peas- Boom Boom Pow 

This hard pounding 808 driven Slap topped the Billboard charts for a second week in a row.  It's hard not to get your groove on to this song right here.  I realy fell in love with this track when I heard Fergie say "I'm so 3008/ You so 2000 and LATE!."  check it out!

I'm predicting this will have a healthy life on the charts...until This Drops!

Future: Lil Wayne- Hot Revolver

I was skeptical of Lil Wayne's transition from Rocker to Rapper when I heard his track "Prom Queen,"  but after hearing this track, I'm convinced: Weezy can rock out.  The lyrics and storytelling of the song are superb and the production is even better.

This will definitely be a big hit soon.

 

My spaceship (what Lil Wayne and others in the South call a big car) is beaming me up right now so before I hit the next galaxy, I want to remind everyone to slap safely this summer, drive responsibly, and update your license, registration and insurance information.
