by vivrant thang on old school friday
When we were left to our own devices one Friday, I actually already covered this theme.
For this round, I decided to shine the spotlight on Penny who was in town on Wednesday night for her first day back at work since calling out slick sick for many of her scheduled tour stops. I hear it was a good show, although LL Cool J was M.I.A. without explanation. I guess he decided his time was better spent hawking those expensive ass Sears duds.
So to honor Penny’s visit, I decided to highlight a couple of her duets with hip-hop artists.
Enjoy!
Got Til It’s Gone, Penny & Q-Tip
What’s It Gonna Be, Penny & Busta Rhymes
Go on and make beautiful music with other OSF participants. Have a great weekend!

Yes lady, we were both feeling Penny this week and of course both picked the same track – Got Til It’s Gone. Two great picks!
Good picks as usual. U got me thinkin about all those classic rap/sung collabo’s that just don’t get made anymore (with a few exceptions).
My two fav’s have gotta be The Roots & E.B. ‘You Got Me’ and Common & Ms Hill ‘Retrospect For Life’
*Nudge nudge – i’m lookin forward to your next album review
Leave it to you to call her “Penny” throughout the whole post…nice choices!
You went for the hip-hop pop collaborations. I forgot how amazing that Janet Jackson and Busta video was…This was the jam in college…
Her track with Q-Tip is the best. Nice picks.
Classic Janet!! Great choices! I miss that Janet.
The first video I really liked, the second not so much. Happy OSF! (I’m laughing at the Penny thing – she’ll never live that one down, ha ha)
I LOVE that Busta and “Penny” vid!
Great choices, Viv!
I like that Busta one!
Let you a little sumthin @ SjP’s, Soror.
I was all over that video with her & Busta back in the day. That was during her “hands off” stages & I was like, “Oooh look at Busta man handline that a–!” LOL
PS- Please stop by, I have something for you.
