Goddammit, I hate the snow. We're going to try to salvage what's left of our sanity, dignity, and energy, in order to bring some warmth in the form of a nice, hot hip-hop and soul show.

This isn't my area of expertise, I'll be the first to admit, but I'm going to try to play you some great music that I believe falls in the aforementioned categories.
