Actually rapidly dropping the rhythm and lining up the lyrics for a flowing rendition of a true art form , without the need for cussing and degradation to anyone or anything, being able to express yourself in a way that is entirely entertaining and getting your point across 🙌😀 Salt &Peppa... other stuff by them, None of your business, What a man, Push it 👏👌🙌 catch yourself on judging these girls who have paved the way
It was awesome to graduate in the late eighties and all the music that came right after that through the nineties. Shoop is just a rhyming sound to go with doop ay doop, those are male models hired for the video. I saw Salt n Pepa at Woodstock in ninty four.
I was going to suggest that! Along with Digable Planets "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" and "Me Myself and I" by De La Soul and "Can I Kick It" by A Tribe Called Quest... And maybe "U.N.I.T.Y." by Queen Latifah, too.
Enjoyed your reaction. You should check out "What a Man," and "Push It," also big hits by Salt n Pepa. Another group you'd enjoy is Naughty by Nature. The lyrics to their song, "O.P.P." are clever and the music is catchy.
I'm not a lover of modern rap music but I was definitely in to 90s rap. With only minor exceptions it was about having fun, not tearing women down and degrading them
Got a few for you here, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock - It Takes Two, C+C Music Factory - Things That Make You Go Hmmmm...., Marky Mark Good Vibrations (Mark Wahlberg when he use to sing), Digital Underground - The Humpty Dance and many others from the 80s and 90s.
Some good 90s hip hop (popular tracks, anything by these guys is amazing) Naughty By Nature - Feel My Flow - OPP - Hip Hop Hooray Pete Rock and CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You A Tribe Called Quest - Stressed Out De La Soul - Breakadawn Jungle Brothers - Doin Our Own Dang Black Sheep - Similac Child Dilated Peoples People Under The Stairs Eric B & Rakim Big Daddy Kane Queen Latifah The list could almost literally be endless though...
The 80’s and 90’s was a time to be BLACK and the celebration of being BLACK. Look at most of the videos in the 90’s and all the women and men were BLACK. Yes, I was an young adult then and the celebration never left me.
Look up Queen Latifa w/ Monie Love - Ladies First. That's a great track! Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock - It takes two Tony! Toni! Tone'! - It Feels Good D'Angelo - Untitled (How Does it Feel) PM Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss Arrested Development - Tennessee, Mr. Wendal, People Everyday Public Enemy - Bring the Noise (I like the one with Anthrax) 3rd Bass - Pop Goes The Weasel Heavy D & The Boys - Now That We Found Love Naughty By Nature - O.P.P E.U. - Da Butt Ini Kamoze - Here Comes The Hotstepper Us3 - Cantaloop
Salt N Peppa are an AMAZING group ... 30 years later, they're still banging!! Marvel sampled this one for Deadpool. My favorite song they do is "None of your Business" ... it is "Unabashedly Sensual"
Unlike today with the internet, you had to get it past the FCC sensors for these videos to air on MTV which was one of the few places that would play music videos. You had the m_Midnight Special, Don Kirchner's Rock Concert, Soul Train and American Bandstand but those were live performances. Like RU-vid and TikTok today, if you wanted your video to be seen, it had to be on MTV. So, to get it past the sensors, you had allot of word play and double-entendre. Shoop means exactly what you think it means.
Classic. I was there the first time around being 42 when it was pounding away in the Clubs. lol It's no Queen. But it's fun in it's own way. Also Salt N Pepa.., you should react to Push It.
Your Mom is so brilliant. They also sampled "I'm Blue The Gong Gong Song" by The Ikettes who sang Backup for Ike & Tina Turner in the 1960's. If you can check out their Performance on American Bandstand. Also "I'm Blue The Gong Gong Song" was featured in the "Original" Version of Hairspray.
You want to check out Better Days by Citizen King, and maybe Groove Is In The Heart by Deee-Lite. Both are very fun. Another is Know How by Young MC or They Reminisce Over You by Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth.
90s had a vibe.... it was individuality at its finest, but simultaneously everything felt like a community. The mid to late 90s. It was like the first era of women having a presence in corporate industry. For instance I was born in 89... it would not have been strange for a 35 yr old black woman to be representing say some industry insurance corporation at a presentation. Honestly, it felt like racism was much less prevalent in news and society, but I presume not having social media to instantly highlight every instance of it has a lot to do w it. Honestly, I think it was a better environment. Think about it... its not good for ppl to feel like they are up against low odds all the time... even if they are. Not everyone is going to be able to find that strength, especially early in life. Ive always had the mentality that I would never allow excuses for my children and I would hold them to a higher standard for themselves, because I would sufficiently support them to encourage their confidence and self worth. That is how you build success and character. Through failing and persistence, yet not letting failure reflect upon ones self worth. imo. 90s style was crazy pastel colors, vibrant color combos, everything was colorful, and lots of geometric shapes. Think of the background patterns to like Fresh Prince or Saved By The Bell... it was a great time to grow up. Lots of optimism for the world.
Yes! All the male artists at that time were making videos with girls in skimpy outfits dancing around the men, a lot of the songs were overtly misogynist, etc. Salt n Pepa had this fantastic, fun response of throwing it right back at the guys... Not unlike TLC would later do with "No Scrubs."
Salt n Pepa turned the music scene on it's head by putting the women up front and the guys were just guys in the background, turning the table as it were.
The 90s was an awesome time for music of every genre. I still own all their albums. My youngest son who is 20 loves it all, all my 90s music even the dance music. He’s a bassist and guitarist
The male rapper with the short verse after the bridge was "Big Twan," who did a few other guest verses but didn't really go anywhere. Not sure what happened to him. Funny that you called this "old school." I just put out my first video on my channel, and in the last section I discuss how the meaning of "old school" has changed. I also highlight the first rap song on a major label, if you want to check it out for some ideas on music to react to.
Hi💕 I love this song and their style, thanks for reacting to it. Shoop shoop that hoop means the basket ball perfectly goes in the hoop without touching the ring on the sides I believe. Very suggestive.😚 There's another great song by saltnpeppa, I'll look it up and get back to you. PS, when I saw you I have to admit I've fallen in love with you. I love your personality and looks, you're super cute. Subscribed. 👍 Oh, I just remembered that song by saltnpeppa and Destiny's child. It's called What a man, what a man. (what a mighty good man.) I'll be looking out for you. 🌻 Love Mike.💘 PPS, What he did to her, you did to me.💕💘
You should react to rap group, A Tribe Called Quest song "Electric Relaxation", It's very smooth and has a great vibe. In fact, you should check out their whole catalog.
If my mom suggested this to me... I’d ground her for the rest of her life! 🤣😂🤣😜🤘🎵😎 Yeah the ‘80’s were bomb! We had so much fun, ( and none of it caught on I-phones) 🤣😂
I could be way off here but for Shoop, I think they just had to come up with a new word for the “F” word, which you can’t say if you want your song played on commercial radio back in the day
Mc Lyte Paper Thin. Poor Georgie , chachacha, Ruffneck. More Salt n Pepa whatta man. Ill take your man( covered also by the City Girls) Shake ur thing. Independent. Expression. Everybody get up. Theres 2 songs never released as singles, Lets get paid and Emphatically No by salt n Pepa i would love to here a reaction to. Thank u young lady. And thank u ma for the suggestion.
Shoop is a euphemism for a four letter word that starts with f and ends with k. That's all I can tell you, girl, lol! You'll have to figure the other two letters out for yourself. ;)
