I Only Listen to 90s Music: Stay Scheming (India Arie/Yung Miami, Toni Braxton, Girlfriends Movie, & Tevin Campbell. & More)

This week the theme is simple: STAY SCHEMING.  We open with the "Spin That" controversy taking over everybody's timeline — India.Arie's response video, the boycott debate, and why the real issue isn't one song, it's the lack of balance in today's music compared to the 90s. That spirals into booster culture, the underground food stamp economy, and why every good scheme requires patience (looking at you, Brinks truck guy). Then we get into one of the great 90s urban legends: did Toni Braxton really break up the young Dallas Mavericks — Jason Kidd, Jimmy Jackson, and Jamal Mashburn? And was her "Good girls don't kiss and tell" response the greatest album promo scheme ever pulled? (The Secrets album turns 30 this month, so Jimmy Jackson is conveniently telling the story again...) Plus: DJ Jazzy Jeff reveals he mixed Jill Scott's classic albums under the alias "George Glass" — and even won awards under the fake name. We debate who invented the producer tag, break down 9th Wonder's Billboard chart experiment (spoiler: Reasonable Doubt didn't sell in '96 and it's still a classic), and confess which albums our younger selves overrated. Stacy brings a full segment of 90s songs you didn't know were covers — Brian McKnight's "Crazy Love," Maxwell's "Woman's Work," Monica's "Angel of Mine," Xscape's "Who Can I Run To," Whitney's "I Will Always Love You," Destiny's Child's "Emotion," and more that will make you question your whole childhood. We also cover Uncle Luke's run for Congress, Mara Brock Akil asking for $50 MILLION to make the Girlfriends movie, a full turn-by-turn map breakdown of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Posse on Broadway" (the whole song takes place on like six blocks!), the eternal debate of O-Dog vs. Bishop — psychopath or sociopath? — a 90s streetwear draft (justice for Cross Colours!), and Brian McKnight's truly diabolical Father's Day interview. We close it out with a full track-by-track revisit of Tevin Campbell's "I'm Ready" (1993) — the Babyface heat, the Prince problem, why "Shhh" should have never happened, and our final ratings. 00:00 Welcome Back + R&B Group Shoutouts 01:20 The "Spin That" Controversy: India.Arie Responds 22:49 Did Toni Braxton Break Up the Dallas Mavericks? 35:20 DJ Jazzy Jeff's Secret Alias: "George Glass" & Jill Scott 42:56 9th Wonder's Billboard Experiment: Charts vs. Classics 49:28 Albums We Overrated as Kids: Kris Kross, ABC & No Way Out vs. Life in 1472 58:03 Uncle Luke Is Running for Congress 1:02:03 90s Songs You Didn't Know Were Covers 1:18:42 Chaka Khan x Snoop Dogg Line Dance Update 1:20:14 Mara Brock Akil Wants $50M for the Girlfriends Movie 1:33:18 Mapping "Posse on Broadway": Sir Mix-A-Lot Turn by Turn 1:47:32 O-Dog vs. Bishop: Psychopath vs. Sociopath 1:54:44 90s Streetwear Draft: Justice for Cross Colours & Karl Kani 2:04:18 Brian McKnight Interviews...
