As you may have heard, '80s hip hop artist DJ E-Z Rock -- who, with Rob Base, released one of the most infectious hip hop songs of all-time, "It Takes Two" -- died Sunday at the age of 46. While "It Takes Two" was the duo's most successful and recognizable song, the follow-up single, "Joy and Pain" is an underrated gem. It topped out on the Billboard Hot 100 charts at #58, but made it up to #11 on the Billboard US R&B charts and the top ten of Billboard's US Dance (#9) and US Rap (#5) charts. Since I have already used "It Takes Two" as a Retro Video of the Week, I went with "Joy and Pain." Plus, the "pain" part seems to be appropriate, given DJ E-Z Rock's untimely demise.
