3 Ice Cubes

Many of you readers may remember the Super Bowl half-time show from 2011; specifically, when the Black Eyed Peas were terrible. It was unfortunate then, that Slash came out to play guitar while Fergie sang "Paradise City" and left everyone scratching their heads as to what the hell was going on. Why was she singing that? Why was he playing guitar with her? The general consensus was that it was a terrible collaboration. Pardon me while I get semi-technical for a second. Fergie may have sounded awful to people listening at home, but that could be on the part of the person who produces the sound mix that gets broadcast to viewers. What they played live is not exactly what you hear on your television. Of course, it could have been awful live too, but most of us weren't there to know.

For the second installment of Music You Missed , I went all the way back to the year 2000. For those of you who remember, there was a track that garnered some decent radio play at the time by Dynamite Hack . It was an acoustic cover of Eazy-E's " Boyz-N-The Hood ."
