*Singing*
Yo, yo, yo, yo, baby-pop. Yeah, you come here, gimme a kiss! Better make it fast or else Im gonna get pissed!
So, I was sitting here listening to "old school" music on the web today. I put "old school" in quotes because what us 80s kids-90s Teens may call old school isn't old school to many...
So, when I think of my childhood certain songs remind me of certain times in my life. So, here are some of my favs...songs that make me smile due to the memories!
1. Special Ed - "I'm kinda Young, but my tongue speaks maturity!" - Okay, I had a cousin 3 years older than me and that was the line she'd use when she met boys! lol. She thought she was doing something "bitin'" his lyrics!
2a. LL Cool J - "Awww, nobody can rap quite like I can I'll take a muscle bound mad and put his face in the sand" - Okay, when I sing this all I can remember is LL licking them darn lips in that kangol and that gym suit!
2b. LL Cool J - "When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the walland in the back of my mind I hear my conscience callTelling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dovefor the first time in my life, I see I need love" - The first slow rap song. I LOVED this song. I was a little shorty but I loved it!
3. Slick Rick the Ruler & Doug E Fresh - "La Di Da Di - I threw some soap on my face and put my hands up on a cupand said um "Mirror mirror, on, the wallWho is the top Dogg of them all?"There was a rubble dubble, five minutes it lastedThe mirror said, "You are you conceited bastard" - That was my favorite line and remember people would compete to see who could recite the whole song!
4. Salt n Peppa - Push It- Okay, do you remember the push it dance? You had to shimmy(sp?) backwards, touch the ground and then shimmy back up. Then the torso roll as you say "ooh baby baby baby baby" - Okay, again, I was in elementary but you couldn't tell me nothing lol.
5. BBD - "It's driving me out of my mind That's why it's hard for me to find Can't get it outta my head Miss her, kiss her, love her, wrong move you're dead " - Okay, I remember I had to be about 11 or 12 when this came out and this dude was trying to holla at me in the mall and I still remember this to this very day. He said "Yo, I know you, I know you." I look at him and reply "Hmm, no you don't." He replies "You're the girl from the Poison video!" BOOOOOOOOOOO! Needless to say he did any play...lol.
6. BONUS: GUY - Okay, anyone who has heard me talk about old school will tell you that GUY is my ABSOLUTE favorite group on the planet! I mean, I liked Troop,Tony Toni Tone, Jodeci, NE, Mint Condintion, and Boys II Men but couldn't none of them mess with GUY! lol...Groove me, baby, tonight! Founkay! lol. Or remember "You can have a piece of my love. It's waiting for you. Girl, it's true! Aww Aww awwwwww" lol. Or.."Let's chill. Let's settle down. That's what I want to do Just me and you. Ohhhhh"..It ain't over. The partys not ova.
So, readers, let's go back down memory lane. Name some songs or artists that take you back. Let me know your favs!

My favorite group is New Edition!
B-ware of NE heartbreak
Spreading fast but theres no cure
No need to run from heartache
It's gonna getcha, getcha for sure
Public Enemy, KRS 1 and Just Ice...time to find my cassette tapes !
Who the heck is "Just Ice?"
You forgot the song LL wrote about me!!!
I want a girl with extensions in her hair
Bamboo earrings
At least two pair
A fendi bag and a bad attitude
Thats all I need to get me in a good mood
She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang
I love it when a woman is scared to do her thing
Standing at the bus stop sucking on a lollipop
Once she gets pumping its hard to make the hottie stop
She likes to dance to the rap jam
She sweet as brown sugar with the candied yams
Honey coated complexion
Using camay
Lets hear it for the girl shes from around the way...
AROUND DA WAY GIRL!
Eric B and Rakim, Bid Daddy Kane...and I know I am gonna get some slack for this but, can y'all please stop acting like Hammer was the jam back in the day. "Let's get it started", "Can't touch this", Here comes the Hammer"...OMG!!! He had us wearing them ugly ass hammer pants!!!, and we thought we were the shiznit! Plus, let's not forget one of the biggest influences on our generation - Michael Jackson. I know half of your either owned a Thriller jacket, a sparkling glove, or rocked the infamous curl. I was one of the lucky few whose parents said I could not get a curl. Good lookin' out mom and dad!! Cause if you were anything like me, you were beggin' for that curl! lol
I meant to say can y'all please stop actin' like Hammer was -not-the jam. Ooops, my bad. typing to fast. lol
"whatever you want from me I'm giving you everything cuz I'm your baby tonight"..Whitney Houston Yeah that's right Whitney Houston! Don't front the girl could blow back in the day before she as Katt Williams so eloquently stated "smoked off her knee caps". A moment of silence please.....
Girl you forgot. I'm Rob Base and I'm here to get down. I'm not international known. But I'm known to rock the microphone. I get stupid al little outrageous....it takes two to make a thing go right...lol
What about "Tender Roni" by Bobby Brown. I like the Tender Roni and the Roni is so right I think I'm going to love her for the rest of her life.
Oh and on the real freak tip. I can't remember who use to sing it..."but lick you up and down til you say stop. What about "Freak me baby..ooohhh just like that freak me baby. Oh and "Hey Mr. DJ I want to slow this party down." I think these are some of Silk and Mint Condition songs.
Girl I can go on forever with ol' school. They just don't make music the way they use to. These young kids don't know a thing about real jams....ha ha ha
I'm out!!!
Okay, Sherry has hit a sweet spot. I was in LOVE with Bobby Brown. Girl, you couldn't tell me I wasn't going to grow up and marry Bobby! Ha! Tender Roni and Rock witcha! Girl, why did I just find out THIS YEAR that Bobby stole the saying "roni" from Michael Jackson! I showed my age when the person told me because I had NO clue.
That group was SILK! I hated them lol. I hated them and Color Me Bad. Ugh!
What about H-Town - Somebody rocking knockin the boots. That was the shiznit! RIP Dino!
Hi-Five - Kissing Games! Shiznit!
Honorable Mention - Forever my lady. Remember the white short sets with the timbs on the beach! LMAO. Why'd they have on timbs at the beach?
Big Ang - I loved me some Whitney 2. I ain't mad at you!
LOL at Ang!! LOL
Poor little tink tink!
Oh Yeah... Don't forget about "Pretty Brown Eyes". That was my jam!
As probably the youngest person to respond I have to start of with
"Uncle Ricky...can you tell us a bed time story?!?!"
then go to
"ROCK, ROCK, PLANET ROCK...DON'T STOP"
And can't forget MJ back in his Black Day...A little Prince thrown in the Mix (Adore, extended mix is the Favorite)
But I am going to end this comment with another favorite of mine...
"4 and 3 and 2 and 1...and when I get on the mic - the suckers run"
I don't know Passion, Alicia is only 23 she may have you beat. Okay, I'm not even up on planet rock! What do you know about that lol

How about "Even though, I hate to leave girl... Bye, bye baby! you know i'm sayin bye, bye. Now that was the jam!
What about Monica..."Baby that's just why I love you so much, Baby that's just why I can't get enough"... yeah I know she's younger than I am but that jam was back in the day. Also, Rob Base(one hit wonder) "I wanna rock right NOW! I'm Rob Base and I came to get down. I'm not internationally known, but I'm known to rock the microphone....!
