Andre Harrell (aka Dr. Jeckyll) discusses the Uptown era

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

I always wondered why Jeckyll & Hyde only released 1 album? They were hot for a minute. Interesting look back at the Uptown Records legacy.

Uptown Unplugged Finale

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Everyday is a throwback here at GFM. I haven’t repped for the old school in a minute so I thought I would post this gem from ’93. Back in the era where your label affiliation really meant something. Father MC, Jodeci, Mary J, Blige and Heavy D. all put it down and let us know in no uncertain terms that Uptown was still kickin’ it.

It’s unfortunate that in a very short time Uptown would go the way of so many cutting edge labels. But, nothing lasts forever… I think one of my favorite parts of this clip is when they had to actually bring “Puff Daddy” on stage, I’ll let that one marinate.

Don’t take away the one “free” privilege they have.

Now, I’ve thought about this and honestly, I don’t know how this will work. Let me give you some examples:

  • What do you say when you hit your pinky toes…………Oh shoot?
  • You catch your partner cheating…………..Oh heck no, mutha fluffy?
  • Your kids break the new plasma (52 inch)?

Yeah, I see ya forming the cuss words right now on that last option. LOL!

However, I’m not gonna be a bad sport about it. I’ll place my $7.00 in a jar Monday morning and dedicate this throwback video: (more…)
