Scribbler's Rave & Favorite Five Special Edition: The Curious Soundtrack of Big Dadi Scribbler


Those of you who checked out my Mother's Day edition of the "Rave & Favorite Five" might have thought, "Awww, that's sweet...him love his momma!"  Facts, and don't you forget it.  Also, you may remember me saying that I come from a musical family not in the sense of trained singers or musicians, but just in a household of music lovers and Big Dadi Scribbler played the biggest role in shaping my musical tastes.  Much like I've had for the past ten years of living on my own, my dad had his own dedicated room for music that was full of vinyl and turntables--a room to which I would constantly follow him and fuel my fascination.  He's always had an excellent ear for music and knowing what songs would either be hits or could get people out on the dance floor and keep them there.  Furthermore, he's never been the type to limit himself to "age-appropriate" music.  Quick example before we begin...when he spent time down in Fort Lauderdale, he'd come back to D.C. with a bunch of Plies and Rick Ross mixtapes--often making me feel like I needed to play catch-up with him.  So as you'll see in the Father's Day edition of the "Rave & Favorite Five", there might be a lot more hilarity and head scratching involved with this tribute, so buckle up...
