MBTM Presents: The 50 🔥Sexiest Moments In Hip-Hop
Moments that shocked, titillated, pushed boundaries—and really pissed people off. Over the last several decades, hip-hop has pushed buttons and raised eyebrows. We want to examine that history through a sex-positive lens...
🎶 “Lookout Weekend”
A super freestyle classic. There was a time when you couldn’t get through a DJ’s Fri night mix without hearing this. A lot of people consider electro to be hip-hop’s first subgenre and I’m inclined to agree.
🎶 “Keep It Coming”
Lotsa artists were milking the “jiggy” formula circa 1997, but Hev did it his way. Just a rapper with an impeccable sense of hooks/melody. Is what made him a dope producer for others. Always felt his “Waterbed Hev” phase was better than ppl my recall
I used to REALLY like Billy Lawrence. She guested on a lot of songs I was into (shoutout to Prince Markie Dee RIP) and did some cool stuff with rappers like Mase and Lyte. This single got some buzz.

🎶 “What Can I Do?”
Cube has always been one of hip-hop’s master storytellers. He has several great songs that break down how young brothers get trapped into criminality and this has always been one of his best to me.
I’ve never watched Man In the Mirror and I will never watch Man In the Mirror. 😂
They look like the Jenkins Five. Jasper, Tonio, Jerome, Marcus and Mickey.
Joe finally blessed the Tiny Desk

I dunno when NBA Twitter™️ started making it trendy to disrespect Dwyane Wade but I see some wild and flagrantly foul takes about that man. Like, “no way you saw him in his prime and could think this”-type takes.
🎶 “Destiny”
“Including Jermaine….”
Jermaine’s departure in 1975 was painful. Joe kept him at arms length—from the group AND from the family.—for almost a decade. That’s why Michael started saying “including” in the 80s. To let ppl know—brotherhood is bigger than record labels
🎶 “Because Of Love”
It’s such a joyful lil tune. Great Saturday song. She has so many classics you’d be forgiven if you forgot how great this one is. Happy Birthday to the icon. The legend. The baby of the fam.
🎶 “Stone Cold Gentleman” feat. Bobby Brown
Happy Birthday to Rizzo! His debut album holds up really well and this was always a coolass video. At the time, it was dope to see him and Bob back in the saddle again.
🎶 “Spend the Night”
Happy 85th to Ron Isley. A pillar of everything— R&B, rock & roll, soul, funk and pop and more. The man has one of the most iconic voices of all time and has fronted a musical institution since the 1950s. Across eras and genres—he casts a helluva shadow
I hadn’t seen these drawings for decades. We were selling my mom’s house in 2022 and I found them. Almost forgot how much I wanted to be a comic book artist when I was young. My first and only attempt at drawing Deadpool. He was brand new back then. But already popular.
