I've been trying to figure out how it's possible that, in an "Old School Hip Hop" thread, it took 13 pages to get to any LL Cool J. Maybe they've been brought up already and I just didn't notice it.

Well somehow we have covered the Pitch Perfect movies and not even touched on Coolio's performance on The Nanny.:pconfused:

Not exactly sure.
First time baby got back hit I loved it. Mainly because we had a party I played it, jumped on the bar and shook my rear. All of a sudden all these girls had me pulling them up there to shake there heinys. Started slapping their rears and that just got them going more. Needless to say that song got played a few times.

Most of those women would have clocked me had I done it to them any other time. I luckily was a good friend of the first and when the crowd cheered the other women "aimed" at me.

I think Sucker MCs was sort of their getting discovered song.

I kind of missed out on Krush Groove, so those songs don't register immediately. Anything from Raising Hell or later will peek my ears up. Even stuff from Down With The King.

True story.

I woke up Tuesday morning with a sudden urge to hear this song. I had to play it on my phone while getting dressed.

Good thread....fun stuff.

I great up in small town Iowa in the 80s, and remember how cool it was when my mom bought me Run DMC "Raising Hell" when I was looking at it in the store. I told her it would **** off my dad, and I think that was something she related to, and purchased it for me (my first clear cassette tape, btw).

In high school I had a good friend big time in rap and hip hop....he spent a lot of dough on cds, and his stereo in his monte carlo. We rolled round bumping that stuff any chance we got.....also loaded up with the guys and went to see Boyz in the Hood when it came to the local theater (I was blown away that even happened)...

At ISU during my freshman year, many an hour was spent playing my roommates cd's (same guy as above in high school with the monte carlo) all the time....good times. At that point KUSR in Friley would have rap on all afternoon during the weekdays. Spent a good bit of time listening to that if I did not have class or was not working.....

Favorites from that time....Gangstarr, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Dre, MC Breed, Geto Boys, etc....

Thanks for bringing up The Nanny. Fran Drescher's voice will certainly not, not be stuck in my ear the rest of the day.

I shamefully loved that show. Went on one date with a guy who claimed to be a cousin of "Mr. Sheffield."

Figured Carver was a marky mark fan. All late 80 to early 90 women seemed to be.

I am 55 years ancient so I was already having kids in his prime so more into Baby Rock video by then, but every time I see him in a movie, I do still call him Marky Mark.

My 12-year-old calls him Marky Mark, thanks to us. =)

Did you laugh nervously, like we did, when the part in the movie where Laurence Fishburne talks about "it wasn't until it got to Iowa" happened? Good times.

Indeed....lol. Funny, we all thought we were badasses wearing our Raider/Kings/Black baseball hats, and rolling to the theater in one of my buddies moms' buick.....bunch of skinny white kids from southern Iowa...

I rip ****
kill it
cut your gut and spill it
treat you like a gas tank, take your *** and fill it

So poetic.
