the only copy of the Hammer "Pumps And A Bump" video on YouTube has the sound turned off, which is somehow appropriate

ahah, i was gonna say the one time i remember actually seeing The Box (in a hotel room) they were playing "Pumps And A Bump"

yeah, any rap video with gratuitous T&A got a lot of play, it was like the proto-BET Uncut. there's a whole alternate history of '90s rap according to The Box in which Sir Mix-A-Lot was a huge star well after "Baby Got Back":

i should've posted names of songs along w/ embeds from the beginning, i'm not even sure what the original post was since that vid's been taken off youtube. maybe i'll go back and list all the ones posted so far.

some dude, Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:15 (2 years ago) Permalink

was the box always a call in and vote deal or did that change at some point?

but really, by the time we consistently had The Box it was like, "Tarzan & Jane" by Toybox in constant rotation with "Another Love Song" by ICP.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:42 (2 years ago) Permalink

iirc you didn't "vote," you call in and pay $3.99 or whatever and they play the video you pick

Over and over and over again, with a slow jam or two in between.

the late 90s videos posted itt are not my memory of the box at all. i thought it had turned into an mtv station by then?

The Box was acquired by MTV Networks in May, 1999 and The Box's programming was replaced on January 1, 2001 with the signal of the MTV2 cable network.[1]

all my memories of the box are early/mid 90s, maybe 97 at the latest, though

some dude, Monday, 27 August 2012 02:52 (9 months ago) Permalink

yeah, mine are of its later period for sure

There's gotta be an opposition party or something in Russia, right? (k3vin k.), Monday, 27 August 2012 02:56 (9 months ago) Permalink

someone should start a Listening Room-style collaborative videostream where we spend all day reminiscing about The Box

and then charge people to watch it
