You’re Not A Real 90s Baby If You Didn’t Hear Those Anthems!

Hi my dear 90s baby I have the weird pleasure to announce to you that you and I we’re not getting any younger these days (in case you didn’t notice yet).

Beside being the years where the coolest human beings were born, the 90s is the golden era for everything you can think of. From science, music, culture & fashion ; the 90’s were the blueprint and the rest was an improvement.

If you were born between 1989 and 1994, you’re a glitch in the timeline of life period. On one part you’re old enough to know that “It Was All A Dream” but still young enough to understand that Young Thug revolutionized the quote on quote rapper image (in his own way).

For all my other 90s baby born after 1995, we can debate all we want but you couldn’t live it the way we lived it. Generations gaps are at an all time high sometimes for the best and often times for the worst.

Today, we’re speaking specifically for the reader who wants to take a trip down memory lane. The reader looking for his roots back in a world of auto tune & fast food music (I’m barely kidding)

Yes ladies and gents! Today we will bring back the 90s classics that made you the 90s baby you are today! (we got them slow jams too for the ladies)

#1 Notorious B.I.G-Big Poppa (1994)

The catchy beat and the first verse are legendary. Now that we’re all grown up we know very well what happens at “The Bar Around 2“!

#2 Nirvana-Smells Like Teen Spirits

Grunge music, Nirvana, Kurt Kobain, Kurt Cobain’s Glasses and so on. This track was like a rush of adrenaline straight to your ears.

The song aged very well and still remain a beast mode activator.

#3 Dr Dre Ft Snoop Dog- Still Dre

Still Dre” probably has the most epic music intro of all time. If you remember them Kazaa days, you also remember going back to the first seconds of the song over and over right?!

STILL great!

#4 Buju Banton-Champion

Reggea & Dancehall music is influential the Hip Hop genre like never before but we can’t sleep on the pioneers!

Banton came up with this song that gave you a boost of energy in the morning, on the road or at night. In the 90s, Buju was the king of the replay value if you ask me.

#5 Aaliyah-Hot Like Fire

The gone too soon princess of RnB had the 90s on smash! Her voice, style and beauty created the standard for RnB divas.

She also gave us that legendary Timbaland Sound.

#6 Tupac-Hit Em Up

Tupac is a legend period but making the first diss track you can party to is what certified is legacy even more!

#7 Eminem- My Name Is

We all have to give credit to Eminem for bringing comedy and controversy in Hip Hop like we never seen before!

#9 BackStreet Boys-BackStreet Back

All those sleepovers, the elementary school dances and countless hours we spent singing this song in front of a mirror.

They are the blueprint for what a boys band should look like!

#10 Michael Jackson- Remember The Time

Michael Jackson can never be replaced. What he brought to music and the world at large was so pure.

This is the type of songs that will never be played out and aged very well (actually it doesn’t sound old at all).

#Bonus:  “Hey Arnold” Theme Song (you know we had to)

Not an actual song but there was something about this show and its opening song that made you want to tune in all the time.

We all had a Helga at one point or another !

What Do You Think?

Of course we didn’t had ALL the 90s best music but we’re pretty proud of this list! Did we miss out on a major classic anthem? What would be your all time favorite playlist as a 90s baby?

The End Of An Era And A New Start: Dress To Kill Magazine Goes Digital

A New World Order

Published

on

I hate to break it down to you so abruptly but the world is changing, the world as we knew it, the way we consume, the way we think and even that good old Dress To Kill magazine is going through it.

Read More: Learn About The Black History In Montreal With This New City Tour

As a young and inexperienced blogger back in 2016, I felt deep in my earth that paper was a dying medium and that the internet was about to carry the torch.

a hundreds of blog posts later, multiple attempts at building an online presence and literally trying to digitize the aesthetics & creativity I saw in magazines growing up.

I must admit 2 things: 1. what it takes to make fashion or information enjoyable is very hard to put together and 2 building an audience on or offline is a GREAT feat.

I grew to admire and respect my peers in traditional media because they made the most out of nothing at a time where Facebook and all those outlets were not a thing.

In case you didn’t know, Dress To Kill magazine is not your average magazine by any shape or form.

Promoting Canadian art and fashion from province to province was something seemingly unthinkable but they got it done.

From iconic covers with Lenny Kravitz and more iconic nights at le Mount Stephen to bring the whole industry under the same roof, DTK got it done.

Don’t take what I’m saying as a farewell note because today actually mark a rebirth for the publication.

Indeed, while the world was going all over the place, they went on a well thought out rebrand.

As you might have guessed, the biggest take away from this is the stoppage of the paper version of the magazine.

The focus is now digital but as I told you earlier, DTK doesn’t go halfway.

Their new platform will include an online boutique which once again is going to focus on shedding light on Canadian creators for men and women.

Do you think more magazines are going to make a full transition to digital?

We Ask A Personal Development Coach How To Overcome The Ins and Outs Of The Crisis

It’s all about your point of view

Published

marc dumaine, personal development coach, covid-19

Everything You Need to Know Through The Lens Of A Personal Development Coach

I’m always amazed at how people like to stigmatize the role or relevance of a personal development coach. They’re quick to label it a scam, a fad, something based on nothing but little they did know, they’re coaches around the world who impacts millions and millions of people in a life changing way. I was looking for the equivalent of a Tony Robbins in Quebec, my research undoubtedly came back to the same name: Marc Dumaine.

Read More: Here’s What I’ve Learned About Myself Since The Coronavirus Crisis Started

Mr Dumaine is more than a personal development coach, he’s a man with a story.

Not your average story either. From overcoming alcohol and drug abuse to obtaining a MBA to running campaigns for some of the biggest corporations in this province. Here’s a man of many battles.

Honorable mention too, these days Marc is focused on creating an international platform to impact as many people he possibly can.

marc dumaine, personal development coach

The bottom line is this. This personal development coach is not unfamiliar with trials and tribulations, changes and transitions.

That’s why to me, in a time like this where everything is doing a 180 degree, I had to pick his brain and ask him how can you and I get over.

In this Q&A, we indeed ask Marc Dumaine about several things such as how to bounce back from the crisis, his keys to success and much more.

QUESTIONS FOR MARC DUMAINE

 

#1 How did you figure yourself out as a future entrepreneur and what was the key factor that made you take that route?

I was always an artist at heart and found that I didn’t it in any mole.  After completing my MBA, I realized that my biggest assets were my differences.  I decided at that moment to stop following what people expected from me and launched my own business.  To me being an entrepreneur is an art form in itself. I have never regretted that choice since I launched Asana Coaching 10 years ago.

#2 How can someone go from being self-employed to an entrepreneur making money without physically being there?

The internet is booming with opportunities right now ! Even with the COVID-19, there is a redefinition of the way people consume products and services ! It is a TIME for being creative and look into endless opportunities ! Get out of our comfort zone and start being inspired by people who are already doing it ! Then, build yourself a right game plan with an amazing branding, and you are all set for the best adventure of your life.

#3 What are the pros and cons of being a consultant?

The pros are definitely the freedom it gives you in terms of choosing your schedule, the services you want to offer, the different partnerships you can build and finally, having a real impact in your client’s lives !

The biggest con I think is the loneliness that comes from working on your own and often alone ! You also have the insecurity of never having a stable income.  This life is not made for everybody !

#4 What would be the achievement you’re most proud of and why?

The biggest achievement for me is to have never given up ! In my 10 years as an entrepreneur, I could have gone bankrupt a few times, I could have been discouraged for so many reasons… but my faith in what I was doing kept me going ! It is a hard industry where you are competing against so many people and you have to realize that you have never made it ! You have to renew yourself every day, offer the top of the top and always evolve as a human being and expert ! I am very proud to still be there today, stronger than ever.

#5 What entrepreneurs should learn from the Coronavirus crisis?

I think we have to realize that we can’t just keep running all the time ! The anxiety, the stress and the adrenaline are very dangerous ! We talk a lot of profitability, performance but we tend to forget to talk about happiness and well-being ! I hope this time brings more humanity into entrepreneurs’ lives ! 

#6 Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?

Without wanting to sound over the top, I truly believe that I will have built my brand into an international platform that will include wellness retreats worldwide, TV shows, a one-man show, a few books and real estate projects ! No pressure ! LOL Seriously, I am a kid at heart and developing my business is the best adventure that life has given me ! Watch out world, I am coming. 🙂

#7 What would be the main thing entrepreneurs around the world should learn from you?

That I almost died three times from drugs and alcohol ! That I was the mos unhappy and insecure person for the two thirds of my life ! That i was bullied and rejected for being different ! And in the end, I am the living proof that anything is possible when you don’t give up on yourself and your life !

#8 What would be your 3 keys to success ?

1- You are 100% responsible for your choices, attitude, perceptions and mindset

2- There are no mistakes, only feedback !

3- Only accept what’s 10/10 for you ! That is a sign that you are treating yourself life the most important person on your life.

If you’re interested in seeing him in action, he’s doing a Facebook live tonight at 7:30 pm and if you’re looking for some light in these dark times, that’s the place to be.
