Zach, Kelly, Jessie and AC looked damn near the same as decades ago! (life goals) That's what I call some good genes...ha! What is Mario Lopez on? He has the most flawless skin! Lol

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Beanie Man & Janet Jackson, Miss Swan, The Oregon Trail (game)

MUSIC: Beanie Man Feat. Janet Jackson - Feel It Boy

One of the most feel good songs to date! Janet lended her smooth vocals to the island vibes and made it a perfect combination to Beanie Man's Reggae rhymes.

COMEDY:

Miss Swan was one of Mad Tv's most notable characters. Although her exact ethnicity was unclear, Miss Swan was funny as hell! LOL

"No, No that's me, My name is George Washington" Haha

ITEM OF THE PAST: The Oregon Trail

Back in my early years of elementary, whenever we headed to the computer lab, one this was gauranteed; we would play The Oregon Trail. I personally hated this game, never really understood how to play and and did not learn one damn thing. I had this trick where I would always act confused and the teacher always ended up giving me the answers to everything. lmao... Who remembers this? My 80's babies know wussup!

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Mya & Jay Z, Steve Urkel and Milky Pens

MUSIC:

Mya Feat. Jay Z - "Best Of Me" (Remix)

Man...the "Backstage" soundtrack was and still is one of my favorite albums.  Mya & Hov created a classic...and that beat? Dope.

"I'm focused man!"

COMEDY: Steve Urkel + Family Matters

Who didn't love the good ol' Winslows and their entertaining neighbor Steve Urkel. Steve's nerdy, clumsy but loveable character will be remembered forever. Peep this video with his funny moments:

ITEM FROM THE PAST: Milky Pens

I guess this is more of a girl thing, but in middle school you wasn't hot unless you had the milky pens! You were extra special if you got the handwritten note on black paper with the milky pen writing too.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Terror Squad, Bon Qui Qui, Talkboy & Talkgirl

MUSIC: Terror Squad - Take Me home

COMEDY: Anjelah Johnson as Bon Qui Qui @ King Burger

This skit was so damn hilarious..."Don't get crazy!"...

ITEM OF THE PAST: Talkboy & Talkgirl

Home Alone put Talkboy on the map! I never had the privelege of getting a Talkboy/Girl because my parents didn't think it was an appropriate toy for me (maybe they just didn't want me to record anything that could backfire on them? lol)

so I envied anyone who did!

THROWBACK THUR$DAY: Smilez & Southstar, Homey The Clown, Pogs & Slammers

MUSIC: Smilez & Southstar - "Tell Me"
Love, hate, mistakes...LOLThis was my cut back then, but too bad the duo left their mark in history as a One Hit Wonder...

COMEDY: In Living Color was one of those shows I wasn't allowed to watch at a young age because it was

inappropriate", but I still snuck around and watched it late at night when everyone was asleep...haha! One of my favorite characters was Homey D/The Clown..."HOMEY DON'T PLAY THAT!"

ITEM OF THE PAST:  Pogs! You 90's kids will remember this for sure! Don't forget the slammers and the pog cases you would decorate/personalize with by tagging your name or putting stickers all over...HAHA...I remember having pog battles during class in elementary and getting them taken away by the teacher because they were too disruptive. LOL Those were the days!



Shoutout to whoever posted this pic originally!!  You brought back a lot of memories with this one! LOL

THROWBACK: Freeway Ft. Peedi Crakk - Flipside

This was one of my favorite joints back in the day!  Actually, it's still one of my favorites even today! 

 

I ALWAYS said, it's harder to rap on beat, not rhyming every bar than it is to rhyme every bar.  Freeway got that method down packed!

 

Unfortunately, Peedi was never one to really pop off in the industry, but I've always thought his flow was dope. 

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! Clap for me mami, oh! Flipsiiiiiiiiiiide!

Throwback Thursday: The Lyricist Lounge Show

I remember seeing this on MTV and being amazed at how they combined rapping with comedy skits! Not to mention the hottest rappers in the game were featured on every episode. (Mos Def, Common, Snoop, Da Brat, etc.)

This was when I was heavy into rapping myself so not only did this entertain me, but it also inspired me! Story telling through rap isn't easy and everyone on this show held it down!

When I got news that the show I cancelled I was so damn sad...smh

So let's take a trip down memory lane shall we...

The news

Common @ the barbershop

Freestyle @ the end of every show

Throwback Thursday

Instead of posting pictures of myself, I've decided to dedicate this post to things from back in the day that I thought were the shit.

Gameboy Light in GOLD

Man...when my parents bought this for me one Christmas, I felt like I was the shit! Gold has always been filthy to me so when I came up in school secretly flashing this around I felt like a bawssee! I think the game I played on this was like pokemon or something...lmao

DunkaroosI LOVED me some Dunkaroos!!! I hadn't seen this snacks since middle school then randomly heard that Grocery Outlet was selling them!! LOL That was some time last year and since then I've never seen another box! :(

TGIF on ABC
I watched the best shows on these nights -- Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Dinosaurs! I loved me some Dinosaurs though LOL ...I miss these nights where I didn't

All That

My most favorite show as a youngin probably because it reminded me so much of In Living Color, but was much more appropriate for my age. Ha! Baggin Saggin Berry, Superdude, Repair Man, Ask Ashley, and the convenience store sketches were classic. I miss good TV like this!!!

POGs & Slammers

I was the POG queen in elementary! No one was touching my POG game! LOL I remember I had such a crazy collection and I really went HAM on "battling" with these. Hahahah! Remember them plastic containers that you'd store them in though?!?!? LOL I had mad colors

M.A.S.H.
Not the TV show, but the game that determined the compatability of you and your crush, your future career and whether or not you ended up in a mansion or shack...LMAO...y'all remember this game right?!?! I was all about this!












That's all for this week's Throwback Thursday! Check back next week to see what other shit used to be crackin back in the day. LOL
