FABE Weekly Top 10 May 9, 2014: #5 DMX - Where the Hood At

DMX's 2003 hit, Where the Hood At makes an appearance in the FABE Weekly Top 10 this week since it's one of the songs the 2014 G-Force Poppers summer group is going to dance in their recital.  The song peaked at #5.

The song has some very homophobic lyrics which reflected sentiments at that time.

A Bollywood Song Finally Tops My Personal Countdown

I was really glad I watched the DVD of 3 Idiots during Good Friday!  It was the perfect movie for that time of Lent when we had to meditate about our lives.  And it being a Bollywood movie, it's not surprising that a song from there can top my personal countdown.

Shaan and Shantanu Moitra becomes the first singers from India and the Bollywood scene to top the FABE Weekly Top 10.  This week, Behti Sa Tha Woh moves to the top of my countdown.  It is also the opening song of this movie.
