Not many people know that this song was written by Jermaine Dupri. What did they do when they had to urinate? This question still keeps me up at night. The only difference between this and, say, a song by Das EFX (who I like) is that "Jump" is performed by two kids. I am pretty much the biggest Tyson sympathizer around (what can I say, I love to see him knock people into bolivian), and even I wouldn't have pulled that shit after he was convicted for rape.Īllow me to throw all the credibility I have as someone who likes rap out the window. Now, someone is wearing a "Free Mike Tyson" T-shirt here. She looks so lost in her tucked-in "WHOOMP THERE IT IS" t-shirt. See if you can pick him out.Īnd where's the awkward white person in this video? There she is, right next to Steve. OH NO LOOK OUT THEY MAY WHOOMP (HERE IT IS) USĮd Lover is in this video.

I love how the two MCs try to look semi-threatening in this video, completely ignoring the fact that they are essentially the Sugarhill Gang, and may or may not have been around 40 years old at the time. Third graders were successfully requesting it. I remember when one of my friends called into the local hip-hop/R&B station to request it and actually got on the air, despite the fact that this track had already been played like 17 times in the previous hour. Looks like we have another "Jock Jams" song. I'd probably listen to their greatest hits album, too, if it had more than two tracks. Technotronic are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. With the flashing backgrounds and the constant cuts, I strongly urge you to find a wooden spoon to put between your teeth before watching. I firmly believe the point of this video is to induce seizures in all who view it. Technotronic must have visited Busch Gardens or something. It reminds me a whole lot of those "Make Your own Music Video" booths you see at theme parks sometimes, where the end result is basically a video of you singing in front of a changing neon background. This video must have cost about twenty bucks to produce. On another note, I'm pretty sure this song appeared on a "Jock Jams" CD, so let's start the count now. Even though THEY HAVE THE POWER (I kill myself sometimes).

Can he sue himself, then for copying his own "copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen"? Perhaps this is why we don't hear from Snap anymore. On the other hand, the "lyrical Jesse James" also looks just a bit like Theo Huxtable, which can't really help his street cred.Īlso, he manages to use the same verse twice in a row. Still, he sure does look the part of a rapper, what with his Raiders hat and lines shaved into his hair. I mean it seems like a straight dance tune, but then the dude above lays down some sick rhymes. I used dance/rap because it's difficult to classify songs like this. This video is a great introduction to just what the early 90's dance/rap craze was all about: hysterical dancing and box haircuts. Note: I STRONGLY encourage you to watch these videos as you read. So here is part one of a look back at some of the most awesome videos to come out of the 90's. Still, it's worth having a look at these bad boys, because what else is the internet for (well, porn, I guess) besides making fun of old pop culture (like the roughly 6.02x10^23 sites that can basically be boiled down to LOL THE 80'S WERE OLD)? Some of the 15 videos appearing tin the show have held up well over time.
"Playlist" program, which featured music videos exclusively from the 1990's, I was glued to the television like something that is attached to something else with a glue-like adhesive. So when I stumbled upon the MTV Playlist Channel's erm. I really have no idea why, but show me some neon fanny packs and I go nuts.

I wax nostalgic about the early-to-mid 1990's in the same way baby boomers do about the 1950's.
