worst rap song to top the Billboard Hot 100 in the '90s

who cares about that shit

xp Christ, calm down about "Crossroads," I said I didn't actually vote for it. (Did always like "1st Of Da Month" more, though. And Crucial Conflict's "Hay," if that counts.)

I think you guys are missing the point that phrases like "working 9 to 5" and "Everybody get footloose" actually work on their own without the context of a movie

i have a bigger problem with rap videos from the video area fucking shit up by splicing in trailer scenes from whatever movie the song was on the soundtrack of

unlike, say... "Wild Wild West"

hahaha I was going to go there but J0rdan helped me see that this is basically crazy arguing with crazy

Whiney on some serious ahistorical revisionism silliness

will hate on Puffy and Mase forever, no fronting involved. worst shit ever, and a totally pernicious influence on hip hop in general

also: I heard "Informer" for the first time like, three todays ago (had obviously heard it before then but didn't know the name or artist, or the canadian provenance), and I really have no problem with it.

"three todays ago" v_v

Informer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ice Ice Baby

well, yeah

there should be a "baby got back" lyrics poll

You people are such dumbasses sometimes.

"Footloose" and "9 to 5" are popular american idioms that people were saying before there was a movie and continue to say after. The lyrics in the song are about dancing or working While rapping about Jim West or being a galaxy defender with a memory eraser pen are linked to particular actions that occur in movies. Dolly Parton isn't singing about what an asshole Dabney Coleman is, but Will Smith is talking about battling Loveless and shit

gotta vote for "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," which is by far the weak link of the '97 Bad Boy hit parade. even as far as poppy "The Message" beatjacks go Ice Cube did a better one just 4 years earlier.

I would just like to note that "Nightmare On My Street" was not actually an official tie-in with the Freddy Krueger enterprise, unlike Dokken's "Dream Warriors" and the Fat Boys "Are You Ready For Freddie?"

Ma$e's "Feel So Good" >>>>>> any Puff song from that period. Harlem World >>>> No Way Out.

stop while yr behind Whiney

back in time lyrics -

Tell me, doctor
Where are we going this time?
Is this the fifties?
Or nineteen-ninety-nine?

hahaha keep on talking about shit you are completely clueless on Whiney, it's pretty entertaining

The boys are in Atlanta
and the beer's in Texarkana

eek always forget about this:

Harlem World >>>> No Way Out.

The wake for rap >>>>>> the death of rap

yeah, i'm gonna give that one to "just sayin"

What the fuck is going on in this thread.

unlike Dokken's "Dream Warriors"

I saw this video a few nights ago (thank you VH1 classic midnight programming!) and it is AWESOME. Especially the part where he breaks through a wall and plays a guitar made out of bones. also some fight with Freddy ensues. in a purely non-promotional tie-in way.

Rock Around the Clock, yo

What the fuck is going on in this thread.

It's raining outside, and I just saw a pic of Kenny Loggins on Pooh Corner.

thread needs more DOKKEN

What the fuck is going on in this thread.

Whiney said something dumb then tried to call everyone else dumb when called on it, so basically business as usual

Well, there's a truck-drivin' legend in the South today
A man called Bandit from Atlanta, Ga.
Every gearjammer knows his name
They swear he's got asphalt a-runnin'in his veins

If the house is a rockin', then it probably ain't Dokken

Little Richard "The Girl Can't Help It"

worst Kenny Loggins movie theme deserves its own thread, especially since he's got, like, 700 of them.

You know what's fucked up, that Rihanna's "Disturbia" isn't actually about Disturbia.

anybody remember that godawful "Ghostbusters" song Run DMC did on the Ghostbusters II soundtrack? not to slight the almighty Run but it was cringeworthy

Arthur he does what he pleases.
Followed his life, his masters toys.
And deep in his heart,
He's just, he's just a boy

I can't hear PM Dawn without immediately thinking of this:

^^^ awesome

also Bobby Brown "On Your Own" really Whiney watf are you talking about

TOO HOT TO HANDLE TOO COLD TO HOLD THEY'RE CALLED THE GHOSTBUSTERS AND THEY'RE IN CONTROL...

i mean be an awful big coincidence if there was a real life company called Ghostbusters that were dealing with slime on the outside of a building

TS: blatant movie tie-in pop cheese vs. shitty emo songs named after quotes from movies

lol why did I forget about Ray Parker Jr

yeah, just sayin pretty much put me in my place, you dont have to keep riding it

any chance to quote Bobby Brown, I take it, no questions asked

Partners in Kryme -- "T.U.R.T.L.E. Power" lololz

well that wasn't actually a hit AFAIK

nah it wasn't I'm more loling that it existed

"Ninja Rap"!

wow this is gonna spurn another thread

oh my god

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_Power
