I prob shouldn't do another video blog, since.... well, nobody Comments or watches them (probably)... but this is a theme idea I've had for a while, and I just want to see if anyone can dig it. This is my video blog dedicated to:
FRESHMAN DORM
This is a small sample of the stuff I was crankin up on my deck on (I think it was) the 8th floor of
Rhoads Hall at VCU in 1998-89. Humor me, watch a couple minutes, n tell me what ya think.

I'm not even sure I like this next song much anymore... but the video is worth a watch for weird value:

There aren't words for how HUUUUUge this next band was in freshman dorm. This is one of those albums where it seemed every song was on the radio....also, you might recognize the sidekick rapper from reality TV:

This guy, I listened to a lot, but he was NOT on the radio, or video shows. Noooo way. Sounds of the underground. The particular song he's doing in this live clip, with the not-so-polite lyrics, is called "Do It, Do It," from 1987. I love the way he dances around the stage. A rapper having fun, dancing- who knew it was possible? It was in the '80s. DJ's wearing a Sixers jacket cuz they repazent 4 Philly:

This was pretty much THE song of 1987, my senior high school year (West Potomac 1988), but still kinda popular in '88. They cut off the intro- it goes "Yo, all you homeboys out front... this one's for you....":

This next song was not only THE SONG of 1988, but pretty much 1989 and a good portion of 1990, maybe. There was a Spin from 1988 where they picked it as the Greatest Single Ever. It was THAT huge... however, the video is terrible and boring.... and, as you can tell, there's not a lot to this song... a couple samples, a couple yell-samples over and over, and relentless rapping without much message at all.... still, the song has "flow," as they say. Yeah, I like it.
Sophomore dorm, our room windows were across the street from a club with a Thursday dance night. They played this song -every - single - time:

She's transcendent live.. her speaking voice is soft and not terribly high.
