Beats for Your Heart
With Valentine’s Day now done and over with, everyone can now continue to live their lives without fear of pink overload, or diabetes induced sweet talk that seems to monopolize the world during the first weeks of February. The aftermath of V-Day can stimulate a variety of feelings, some good and some bad; and while some singles might want to take a sharp object and stab themselves in the eye from all the V-Day television specials, most couples are putting aside their issues for 24 hours to craft genuine memories that will carry them into the next February 14th.
But regardless of how you’re feeling, Hip-Hop can boost your spirits in ways no other art-form can match, and so I bring you Hip-Hop’s essential post V-Day playlists. Note that there is a fine line between Hip-Hop and R&B, and that these playlists are strictly Hip-Hop.
