Happy Valentine's Day Blog

As dedication for the love holiday, we here at the NCV are putting out our individual Top 10 greatest love songs/slow jams of all time. Mind you these are just our favorites. There are thousands more that could've made the list but these are the ones that stood out. In a time of lovers and being with that special someone, we dedicate these to all of you. My boy MACTINO came out with some knockouts with his top ten. So in my opinion, these are Shanezoola's favorites.

10. Deele: On Two Occasions
This song shows a young ass Babyface with this timeless classic. Such a simple enough romantic song. Plus that S Curl added more to the flare. This song just added on to the legend that is Babyface.


9. Jodeci: Love U 4 Life
What a great song! The video was even better. A wedding scene was truly perfect for this song. If you were a true Jodeci fan, you would know most or all the words to this song.


8. Joe: I Believe In You
One of those true romantic songs. If you ever want to dedicate a slow jam to your lady, this is truly the song.


7. Shai: Baby I'm Yours
This song is at its best when acapella. This group was one of the most underrated groups of my era. I can still remember the Family Matters episode where Urkel serenaded Laura to this song.


6. Sisqo: Incomplete
This is one of those songs that puts it all in perspective. No matter how much money, power or fame you get, without that special someone to share it with, it is worthless.


5. Blackstreet: Before I Let You Go
Teddy Riley=brilliant. Blackstreet was one of the best R&B groups in the 90's and was comin' out with hit after hit but this song separated itself from the rest.


4. Stevie Wonder: Ribbons In The Sky
I'm not gonna say anything else that needs to be said about Stevie Wonder. Just watch the video and listen to the sheer brilliance of this man.


3. New Edition: Still In Love With You
This song made its way after New Edition went on a little bit of a hiatus. When this song first made airwaves, I was stuck to it. I had to buy the tape.


2. Musiq Soulchild: Teachme
The sensitive man in me got misty eyed to this song. He dares say what most "macho" men would not admit to. This man teaches us that opening up and being sensitive doesn't make you less of a man.


1. Sade: Sweetest Taboo
Its the epitamy of what makes a great love song. The lyrics are outstanding, the voice is sensual and even excellent for love making, and you can even slow dance to it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this song. No holes whatsoever.


I know there was more we missed, but we can't put all our eggs in one basket right? So from the fellas here at the NCV, we wish you and your loved ones a Happy and safe Valentine's Day.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY BITCHES!

Welcome ladies & gentlemen, the NCV crew is hooking you up today with those special love jams, starting up is ur boy MAC TiNO's TOP 10 Valentines Day Jams. Wish i could spend this LOVE day with someone special but to bad I gottsta work tonight. These are my all time favorite love jams! I've lost my voice a couple times trying to serenade with these jams, so join me as I sing these videos out loud!

10. I gotta start it off with the most obvious joint for Valentines Day, "Cupid" by 112. You can celebrate Valentine's Day all year with this song. This is my 2nd favorite 112 song next to "Only You", I always wondered how Notorius BIG would sound on this remix...but again I wouldn't ruin a masterpiece...



9. Next up I got the ugliest man on the planet with prettiest voice, yes I'm talikin bout Maxwell! Maxwell crafted a masterpiece with "Lifetime" really beautiful song, by a really beautiful man, jk. Perfect Valentines Day song to cherish with someone you feel you could your whole lifetime with...



8. Next up i got the thug version of Boys II Men, Jagged Edge singing "Promise". These thugs sing their hearts out to promise to be with you, and have you as the only one in their life...yeah right!



7. Next up I got my man Joe singing "No One Comes Close". Joe never seems to let me down, this is one of my favorite joints to loose my voice to. Good job Joe keep them hits comin brotha...



6. This next jam is my straight up wedding song! UNV's "So In Love With You".



5. My next love jam comes from the most gangstaest movie ever, Menace II Society. Hi-Five's "Unconditional Love" was a definite creeper in the movie, next to the bum who told O-Dog that he would suck his dick, ewwwwwwwwww...



R.I.P. to the leader singer of the group Tony Thompson.

4. Next up is Keith Martin's "Never Find Someone Like You". Keith Martin is a super underrated artist. He goes all out with Never Find Someone Like You, I love every lyric and note to this jam...



3. Next up it's all about the jam please mind the corny 90210 slides show video! Like I said before Shanice was my first crush, "Saving Forever For You" straight melted my heart, I LOVE YOU GIRL!



2. Next up is my personal bump and grind song, I'm really Ginuwine is disguise! "So Anxious" will drop panties fast, I know from experience!



1. (Drum roll please) Last up is Musiq Soulchild's "Don't Change" This song is about loving someone through all the ups and downs, I know that from experience, I dedicate this to all you Valentiners. Love is the greatest gift you can ever give someone, you don't even have to be in love with someone just as long as you make this love movement spread then you should be conitually blessed!
