This Episode features Skin Deep . I was very good friends with one of the members ( Greg Gaddy) of this group. Greg and I wrote the original version of the song Don't Be Afraid back in 1993. I miss him dearly.
I know my favorite one was when llcoolj and X and method man and red man! There was good and when lil bow wow was on there and brandy and christina aguilera was another one!😊
I liked and spent every Saturday night watching Showtime at the Apollo! From 1987, the 1990's-throught the 2000's was all the best episodes of its time!
Just introduced my son to this…was just talking about the Apollo to my son and I found this episode. Brought back a lot of memories. Funkdafied was such a monster jam. Plus, it had a Salt and Pepa throwback with a competitive Amateur Night…this was a great episode to share with my boy.
Apollo Talent Show is very special, gives those who have never performed in front of a live audience a platform and those who are experienced the opportunity to grow, hone their art/skilz, all the chance to enter the field of professional entertainment.
@ms.punkie9580 @R_L_1369look at the year, 1995. Whether this performance was right before the infamous 1995 Source Awards (which took place just a few miles from this theater) or right after, in 1995, the atmosphere in New York was thicc with animosity toward outsiders because the West Coast had just taken over the rap game for the previous 2 years, and now the South was coming.
Brat's single 📀 must've JUST come out the day b4 this show cuz that crows was DEAD ☠️ as HE-YELL when she came out on stage !! When that song came out, I remember every1 started bopping they heads & rappin' along everytime it came on the radio 📻. Brat has always been EXTREMELY underrated compared to less talented female rappers 👩🏽🎤who got more shine!! She'd eat up ANY of these female rappers out todayfor breakfast, lunch, & dinner!!
Always looked forward to Saturday night! Called everybody to remind them who was on the show and to turn it on! Brings back good memories, I loved when The Brat asked JD "why they sitting down" loved it! Loved Apollo, Miss this show very much! Bring it back!
I was the only one up in the house watching these episodes. I had to say up for the Rap performances. Arsenio Hall actually was the only other show I’d stay awake for, for the same reason. I liter didn’t miss an episode.
I remember this show growing up before the American idols days dam I'm old lol. You gotta have balls to go on this show if I were to go on I'd practice really hard.
I was thinking the same thing. Da Brat was fly but I wonder if the ppl at the time had a problem with her appearance...or maybe just a boring crowd that was just learning who she was, idk! 😂

@@eliteleveliq4289 what was wrong with her appearance. It was not 1927. The way Brat presented was no problem whatsoever. Im fact, many women dressed that way in the 80s and 90s who were not in the LGBT community
I wanna say on my behalf of my BET entertainment family and the industry of hip hop music I remember that Time I was born in the year of 1987 on November 24 and is same time when my brother mr Michael Jackson got accessed by Wade Robison for a salted him that time and I remember when I was 5 years old in the 90’s when he went for his world tour for his dangerous album I never forget it I remember when he went on to Apollo I remember when he performed who’s loving you with his brothers on the Jackson 5 I never forget i also remember James brown had performed there for his iconic song I got you and the sex machine I remember when Sammy Davis jr did his iconic dance move was called do the camel walk I never forget it I remember Steve Harvey was the host of the show that’s how got the show was the Steve Harvey show he played Steve high tower I never forget it for me as a hip hop and rap and pop music impersonator I think Apollo is part of who we are in history of African American music and for us as fans I let everybody know that I got very sad news about this African American male his name is George Floyd he lives in North Carolina in Minneapolis on may 20 there was a white male officer he had home held him down on his neck with his white male knee on him he really died from a cardiopulmonary arrest compression I let everybody know that white male had got booted to the big house his officer friends had to arrest him for it to send for days in prison and I let know that there is a movement for African Americans and native Americans to is called Black Lives Matter movement is for them for to speaking out to tell there stories and also to show there rights for freedom and justice to be served and there is protest everywhere in America and African to if all you to join to take force on authority to back down and is by power and action on those are innocent they are fools and they must be condemned to be judge for there crimes let god decided there punishment is all of us that we trust in Jesus Christ and to o bay god do is right for the people to be herd we are the world it does matter if you are black or white and also you are African American or Native American and European also Asians.and to people with disabilities and colours to race and region and what they believe in and what god they are we are the world we make the world to brighter day and let’s giving and we be gods biggest family in words of Michael Jackson let’s heal the world and make that change
I watched Showtime At The Apollo! from its beginning, and I think that the Kiki Sheppard/Rick Aviles/Sinbad/Mark Curry/Steve Harvey/Rudy Rush/Mo'Mique/Whoopi Goldberng/Anthony Anderson era was the bomb. This series aired on late Saturday Nights on my CBS station WCSC-TV Channel 5 in South Carolina at 12:00am (later moved to 11:35pm) after the 11:00pm News and either right before the CBS Late Movie, New Music Report, Global Jam, CBS' Crimetime After Primetime, Apollo Comedy Hour, or Soul Train.
