13. I guess I know what I'll be doing all afternoon
I don't recognize many of the ones listed so far but I have my personal favorites, most of them came before gansta rap when it was either about politics or dancing. I guess my tastes are pretty innocent and poppy.

Here is one I like from M.C. Lyte called "Ruffneck"

29. Here's one from Queen Pen they pulled as well - Party Ain't a Party
this is just the song, no vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhKONLhFNXY

It kills me they pull this shit. As if it will ever be watched or seen or remembered if not for this format. Queen Pen was unique because she was openly bisexual in what has been called a pretty homophobic medium. On her first album, she took MeShell Ndege Ocello's song "If that was your boyfriend he wasn't last night" and changed it to "If that was your girlfriend she wasn't last night." That was unheard of back then.

Also, she does a rap on "No Diggity" by Blackstreet

"Queen of Rox" was a favorite single from the 80s, but it has been pulled from YouTube. So "Live on Stage" will have to do.

54. true, and if you go to youtube most young-uns have never heard this stuff
all they've heard hip-hop/rap wise is stuff like Eminem and 50 cent. It think it's good to post the stuff to show rap wasn't always about getting shot up or wtf ever Eminem is singing about (raping mother, killing gf/wife, whatever). I respect his poetic genius, but this older stuff was a lot more light-hearted or it was more politically relevant like "The Message."

57. Here's a scary awful video also featuring Melle Mel. I love the song,
but the video is awful.

And whoever posted it on YouTube mistakenly credited "Step Off" to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five when the record is by Grandmaster Melle Mel and the Furious Five. I guess I just really love that O'Jays bass line.

or ever will be.

But I love that video, and I love to watch him move to that song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp-is6S_b_g

seriously, it is such a turn on to watch these guys do that early hip-hop dancing with the running man and stuff. This one and "Every little step" by Bobby Brown are my favorites...I miss this kind of energetic dancing, it is so beautiful to me.

67. Jim Carrey did his best work on that show for sure.
I remember seeing this when it first broadcast, it was hysterical. I think they gave Rob van winkle too hard a time, though, overall there is nothing wrong with what he did.

Here are some other white rappers

N2Deep Back to the Hotel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eo4BQOTjoE

I used to really like to work out to that song.

69. I know this makes me a total dork but I love this song
Iesha (Coolin' at the playground), by Another Bad Creation, another fanvid, but I just had to put this song in here.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2evravGo7JA

Iesha, Iesha so glad to meetcha
See you in the schoolyard strollin' wit your techa
The lil skirt you played was realy fly
She turned around and she winked her eye so I
Stepped to her like I knew her the Biv is cool but Romell is cooler
The bell rang cuz I started to talk yet the class is not there no more

(Yo Red, where'd you meet her?)

At the playground, ya know :)
That's where I saw this cutie
This girl was swingin' and she looked so fly
On the monkey bars, :)
we climbed up to the top and
She touched my hand that's when I fell in love



Iesha..
You are the girl that I neva had
And I want to get to know you bettah
Iesha..
You know I want you so bad
And there's nothing anyone can do
To keep me away from you


Yo Dallas man these five young boys out of Atlanta GA are a real adventure
They kinda like remind me of me and my boys New Edition, know what I'm sayin
So all you people out there ridin' in your cars listenin to the radio station
Or coolin' back in the living room watchin this here video, ay yo peep the 2nd verse

We played Nintendo :)
This was her very first date
I didn't wanna make it seem to fly
We ate cereal :)
She couldn't stay out at late
Her mother told her to be home at nine



(Ronnie Bobby Ricky and Mike)
Chris, Mark, Red, Da, Ro

Yo Ro u might sound to sure so wutcha gonna do?
I dunno Da, I only got one more rap and I'm gonna see what happens

Threw down my books went up to the door
Pressed the bell what was in store?
Iesha came out with a smile (oh no)
She aint worth the while
So I passed her a lolli pop and a letter
Told her so let's keep this a secret
No remember Iesha, only u can keep this, peace

this is one of the cutest songs...

:bounce:

80. I remember "I Get Around"
I love that smooth sound that songs had back then when there was still alot of R&B influence in hip hop, you don't hear that alot anymore.

Here is one I love "Stressed Out" by A Tribe Called Quest, with Faith Evans. It blows my mind how many of these songs from the nineties that she is featured on.

92. Well, I tried to post a Just-Ice video
But it comes up "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation." which to me shows the stupidity of the record companies. I can go up to any rap/hip-hop fan and ask them if they've heard of Just-Ice and most likely the answer will be no. Then I could say hey go check them out here and they would be like damn that's some dope shit. But of course since the record companies suck ass the second part of that scenario won't happen. Corporate, money grubbing morons.

94. one last kick with scenes and videos from the coolest hip hop block party i ever went to
Edited on Sat Feb-17-07 01:31 PM by mark414
back in the summer of '05 it was a free one day thing in manhattan, put on by Mark Ecko (the Ecko clothes dude)...they had 6 replicas of the old subway cars and what seemed like the entire cast of Wildstyle painting em all day...DJs included RJD2, Roc Raida from the X-ecutioners, Prince Paul and DJ KOOL HERC...appearances made by the Rock Steady Crew, the NYC Breakers, Fab 5 Freddy, Grandmaster Caz, and a host of others...it was wild...especially when Herc dropped "Apache" and kept runnin back the break...folks was goin nuts. definitely the best musical/artistic event i've ever seen been to or heard of.

106. Caindy rearranges my limbs while i'm asleep, I've caught her doing it as I was drifting off.
she really varies it and gives it some thought. it feels like you're a rag doll or something, she such a powerful little bull of a cat. Pea just waits it out and finds a crevice once it's settled.

107. Don't ever underestimate the power of a CRex, I guess.
Caindy, evil genius.

When she was young, Chevrolet used to bounce on and off the bed or knock things off the dresser so someone would wake up and feed her. Later she would just walk on me or push on my legs or walk up and breathe hard on my face. The final couple of months she was just all lovey and content to be warm on the bed next to you.

Tomorrow is the walk to the humane society to visit the kitty prisoners and get a cat fix. It's heartening to note that Oregone Humane Society has a very high adoption rate. We'll see if someone has adopted Gramps yet. Such a strong-jawed head-butter, that tabby.

108. breathe hard in your face, that's so great...
the brute force thing is a little scary. i rearranged my furniture to stop Caindy from leaping over my head when i was reading. She was just not giving herself much clearance, she clipped me in the forehead once and I saw stars.
are you guys kinda sorta looking around for a new cat? are you thinking of taking gramps home?

110. Nah, no new cat for a while.
I think Gramps has been adopted by now anyway. He was Newschannel 8's "Pet of the Week" the day after I met him, so he probably went to a new home that day, even though he's 14 and a lot of folks don't want the older cats. Adorable fella.

Lord, you have a collision cat. Did rearranging the furniture help?

There's a musty old used bookstore in Depoe Bay on the coast where the cats stalk you and see when your elbows are perfectly bent while reading through a book so they can jump up into your arms and get some perfect kitty love. It's funny and charming the first couple times it happens, but then it gets annoying and sort of creepy. And you can't get any reading done.

Here's Chev, letting me read:

the pics and details for their "rescue successes" page on that site, and she never replied or put them up there.
i don't blame her for using them, i'm sure she needs every penny. she deserves it. they are a bit grainy, but they look nice compared to the others, not crazy about the picture in picture thing, but I'll have to get me one. two, i have a friend that said the pics were crap because i used a cheap camera. :P to her.
