From Rae's Throwback Thursday series is this gem remix of a Luther jam. His TBT tribute are like the best cross between the music your auntie played at the barbecue and the tunes you snuck off to listen to with your cousin in the den. It's kind of criminal how good he is at rhyming, even over these smoothed out retro R&B tracks. Listen after the jump.

Video: Cam’ron – “So Bad” Feat. Nicki Minaj
10 years ago 8,105,328
Off Cam's First Of The Month Vol. 2, this is his joint with Nicki. You'd think with their senses of humor and penchant for pink, we might see more work from this duo. Although the video isn't fancy, there's bluster to go around, and the simplicity of the visuals give room for Cam and Nicki's color. It's also not a bad song, though we wish Fabolous had made it ten years earlier. Watch after the jump.

He's not a rapper; he's a rock star. His career can't be defined by a genre. These premises dominate Bobby Ray's mixtape, a follow-up to the first one of the same name. But there are many conventional 16-16-16 songs on this project and thumping hip-hop drum kits. Lucky for you, he's released it on datpiff for you to listen to it for Free 99. Listen after the jump.
