  • Friday Throwback – Big Ole Butt

    What better way to kick off the weekend than with a song that was an ode to big ole booties? This a few years before Sir Mix-a-Lot’s song about love of the backside.

    I want to meet Lisa and Brenda now, nearly 20 years later, to see if they still have it.

    • Tina might’ve had grace and poise like a ballerina, but no ballerina could wear a dress like that.
    • Don’t ask me how I’m living, cause yo I’m living swell.
    • I feel badly for LL’s wife now after watching the first minute of this video.
    • What’s up with the hand held shaky camera work? Is it supposed to simulate a bouncing rear end?
    • How old was LL at this time, talking about going to high schools to peep the girls?
    • Damn, he left the ballerina for big bootie Brenda.
    • I’m leavin’ you, see ya!

  • Friday Throwback – Flava In Ya Ear (remix)

    I’ve been writing my Friday Throwback post at my own blog for about the last 9 months, but I thought it was perfect for the blog here at Music Help Web. Basically, what I do is take a song from my youth, find the video on YouTube, and re-watch it and just chart my thoughts about it.

    Let’s give it up for Craig Mack.

    – How cute, Puffy and Biggie are wearing matching hats.

    – Did you know that Biggie got more butts than ashtrays?

    – Don’t be mad, UPS is hiring.

    – Puffy kind of looked like a broke Michael Jackson grabbing his crotch during Craig Mack’s verse.

    – What was Irv Gotti doing in the background?

    – Has anyone asked LL Cool J what the heck his verse was about? Couscous? Tongue kiss a piranha?

    – Hey look, there’s half of Busta Rhymes. When he used to be fun.

    That’s still one of the greatest posse cuts ever. But whatever happened to Craig Mack? Well, Biggie showed up and took the hip hop world by storm and Mack kind of got left behind. According to his Wikipedia entry, he was scheduled to drop something last year, but it was shelved. Maybe he’ll bring flava to your ear another day.

  • Friday Throwback – Someday (with a bonus video)

    I was on Yahoo.com yesterday and noticed that a blogger was writing about Mariah Carey’s new video and how even though people think Glitter was the low point in her career, she actually got paid a ton of money to leave Virgin and only did one album for them. The blogger noted that it was a Frank Lucas’ like business decision. Mariah is Mariah in the new video and she mentions YouTube in the new song and it made me think about some of her old videos, including this one, which is most memorable for her attempt at dancing.

    • I’m guessing those jeans are the reverse of low rise.
    • Look at her shimmy and shake.
    • Baby Mariah is a little darker than regular Mariah.
    • “The one you gave away will be the only one you’re wishing for.”
    • Sometimes that blouse falls off her shoulder and then in the next scene it’s perfect. I wonder if Tommy Mottola was cracking the whip to make her pull her blouse back up.
    • There it is. The very famous terrible Mariah version of the running man.
    • Dude’s playing the drums on that bucket for a long time.

    Time for a little bonus coverage. Here’s Mariah’s new video for Touch My Body.
