Old School Friday: The Booty Edition

After our little hiatus we've had here, I decided it was time bring the party back here to our site. So this week I am going to post nothing but old school booty music. So if any of you are having a party, you might want to put this on.

Have fun.

What's Booty music without Uncle Luke??




How about some Splack Pack



95 South anyone? Forget that Tag Team "Whoomp, there it is"! It's always been about the "WHOOT, There it is"!



Boom! I got your girlfriend!

Rest well, Grandpa

We lost a great man yesterday. My grandfather, Jim Beranek died yesterday after a long battle with illnesses. I have never known anyone like him. He had a smile that could brighten an entire room, and make you smile right along with him. Over the last few years, he has battled so many different ailments, some of which were supposed to be his last, and every time he would fight it and still be in the best of spirits. He has been an inspiration to me my whole life, and an example of what a man is supposed to be. He showed us that no matter what happens in life, you can keep pressing on and everything will work out in the end. Just do it with a smile!

Take care, Grandpa. I will miss you.

I think this song is perfect for him, I hope you all enjoy it too.

Friday is playin tricks on me

You all will remember this one. Sorry about the lack of posts, I have been really busy lately.

Ignore me

Old School Ladies

I got a request to post some of the ladies of the 90's and such, so just hang out and listen to some music that was actually pretty good.

Let's start with En Vogue, there was a time in the 90's where they were trying to bring back the feeling of the old Motown groups. En Vogue was one of the girl groups that came out. All of the ladies in this group were awesome singers. This was probably their most popular song, but it was my least favorite.




Here's another one of those girl groups. Here is is SWV with Human Nature.



You can't have a ladies of the 90's compilation without some Janet. This video is the full video with the stupid intro too. So if you just want to hear the song, just skip ahead a bit.



Here is one of the first Mariah videos. This is back when she still remembered what clothes were. Great song too!



I know it's cheesy, but it has to be done. Whitney Houston used to be one of the greatest vocalists ever. This song, while overplayed, is a perfect example of her talent. Too bad Bobby Brown introduced her to crack.



I wanna Shoop? I don't even know what the hell that means. But it is still a pretty good song. Plus it's Salt n' Pepa, the original and only ladies of hip-hop. So why not?



And this chick was a one-hit wonder, but she went to on to find some success in other things. Like they gave her her own talk show, but now that I think about it they gave a lot of people talk shows in the 90's.




So here you go Sarah, I hope that I have covered all the ladies you were hoping to see. If anyone else wants to see anything, let me know and I will put it on here.

I got a friday!

This is a romantic little ditty about a man trying to court a nice young lady. The only problem is, she's got a man. Let's see how this plays out.

"Your man's a headache, and I'll be your asprin"

A mini Shope on a rope...

One of the coolest people I know just became a father this week. So in honor of this I decided to dedicate this week's OSF to him and our crazy days riding around listening to these crazy mix tapes and going to Border's and Taco Bell. So here's to you man, have fun!



Nuff said!


Is it just me, or does Trent Reznor look like he jumped on the steroid train?



Remember...there is no air guitar played with Jimi EVER!




Can't forget KoRn.



Finally, the song for all songs.




Congrats man, I am really happy for you both. I hope this brought back some memories for you.
Much love,
Brannan

Fantastic Friday

What about Coolio do you remeber most? The hair? Gangsta's Paradise? or maybe how he acted like his music is way too serious to be parodied by Weird Al? As if a dude with stupid ass hair like that can be taken seriously anyways. This is what I remeber Coolio for, "Fantastic Voyage". This song is just fun, and perfect for friday.

Who does this remind you of?

Ok this guy was cool for about a day until everyone started to say me and him were cousins. :(

Speaking of 1 hit wonders.

This was middle school for me. Probally first grade for the rest of you (except Tim). Back home.. this guy is also known as guy who was broke less then a year after this song came out. DUMBASS!

Middle school dance...

So after doing the PM Dawn post a few weeks ago, I started thinking about the middle school dances we used to have. Like "I'd die without you", there are some songs that as soon as they hit, you are taken right back to those dances. So I said lets do that again.





Looking back, this one probably wasn't appropriate for us youngsters. What a great song though.







I know that I mmissed a few, so feel free to post your own middle school dance songs! Have a good long weekend!

Sorry about last week...

I wasn't very happy about last weeks video, so I will try to make up for it this week. I will post one now, and one in the morning. Here you go...

a 1/2 hit wonder

I call this song a 1/2 hit wonder because it disappeared as quickly as it came. It was cool song with a great beat. It's what I call a "skating rink" song because it takes me back to when I was 13 hanging out at Galaxy skating rink and these were the types of songs that were played. The video sucks but look for a few cameos towards the end it. If I make it a game, maybe you'll forget how bad the video is.

P.M. Dawn

It's friday! It's been a busy week so I will post a 3fer. This week I am posting the 3 biggest hits from PM Dawn. I had actually forgotten about these guys for a while now, and just got reminded of them today.

First we have "Set adrift on memory bliss." I always liked this song. It's got a cool beat and it sample's "True" by Spandau Ballet. Not that I know that song. That's a total chick song!



Next is "Looking through patient eyes." Which is like another version of "Set adrift," but still cool. I wasn't able to find the actual video, so you'll just have to enjoy the song by itself.




Finally, probably their biggest hit. Played across the nation at every school dance in 1992. I wonder how many millions of kids were swaying back and forth akwardly while slow dancing to this song under the watchful eye of Ms.(insert name here) the bitchy math teacher that nobody liked. Ahhh, the good ole days.

Toker's Anthem

Classic. No introduction needed.

All I wanna do...

Can you finish the rest of this lyric? As soon as this video starts you will.

I don't know what happened...

Jazz and hip-hop. The two of them seemed destined to mix. It was even tested and proven by these two groups and there hit songs. People seemed to really like these songs. The first, is Digable Planets' "Rebirth of Slick." (I know we had this on the original site, but it needs to be done right.)


"We be to rap, what key be to lock."


Next we have a song from US3 called "Cantaloop." This song seemed a bit more poppy then the other, but still has a cool jazz vibe to it.

How's this?

No words needed. Awesomeness ahead...


Soundgarden's "Outshined"
This song reminds me of that old Playstation game, Road Rash. You know, the one where you race motorcycles and hit other racers with pipes and chains and knock them off of their bikes?



Faith No More's "Epic"
5 points if you noticed the Mr. Bungle shirt. 500 points if you can tell what Mr.Bungle is. Have fun!

2 of the best singers to come out of the 90's. And surprisingly enough, are both still alive. Good for them!

Important message!

Hey everyone! So I created a new sister site for Old School Friday. It's called Shitty Music Monday. Over there we will post bad songs and videos and make fun of them. It should a good time had by all. Come check it out, and post some stuff.
Shitty Music Monday

Tell your friends!

My turn for an Ice Cube video

I'm putting Bop Gun featuring the legendary funk master George Clinton. Be sure to check out Chaz's post below for another awesome Ice Cube song.

Flava In Ya Ear

Ok so this is me, switching it up from West Coast to the East. Now even though I'm from the West Coast there were a few artists that I really liked. This guy was one of them as shown by the video below. This was his first release under "Bad Boy".



THEN IT HAPPENED as it usually did. (See vid below) Puff Daddy/Diddy/WTF ever, got ahold of this kid and then fucked the whole program up. With Puff's shitty dancing and cornball moves, it's just made for bad video and hip-hop. This is when it all went downhill and it was over for our boy Craig Mack. This is probably why he left Bad Boy right after this album.

"See P. Diddy, you couldn't just leave it alone huh. You had to make him look like a smaller, younger B.I.G. Anything for the money right!"

The Remix ("BAD" Boy Style)


And then there was another that he couldn't just stay out of. This was typical for anything that Puffy had his hands into. Randomly dancing and saying stupid shit in the songs/vids. WTF!

"This my friends is why Hip-Hop is dying. It's still trying to recover from the sickness of this shit."

Old School Friday: Latino Edition

You guys probably don't know who Kid Frost is. He is a legend mainly in southern California and Texas. "La Raza" is the song that he is most known for and when I listen to this track I usually feel like doing a drive-by. So watch yo ass sucka!!!!

Return of the Lynch Mob

"You gets no love and I thought you knew it
Fool, you know how we do it"

In High School my friends were literally that... "High"! Always trying to get me to join in their little reindeer games of getting faded without getting caught by the teachers. I however was all about the music.

Believe it or not I really only listened to this stuff during my H.S. years.
You wouldn't know nowdays based on the stuff I listen to, but I was a huge Ice Cube fan back in the day. Slow beats with great flow and rhymes. However my parents didn't appreciate me listening to this stuff due to the violent nature of that culture back then.

But every time I hear the high pitched whine in the background track it takes me back to a simpler time. A time when my cousin thought he was black, and I would go over his house to swim. We would make cool-aid before swimming and since his parents didn't give a shit we would put as much sugar as we could in the stuff until it was almost syrup and then go swimming and see who could do the dummbest shit. (Dive off garage into pool. Do gainers off the rickety slide into the deep end. Dive off house into the shallow end)

Yeah those were good times.

Tres Delinquentes!!

Does anyone else remember this song. It blew up in south Florida when it came out, but I'm not sure about everywhere else. I had never seen the video before. The best part? A midget on a skateboard... in a bar... for no apparent reason!!! I challenge you to find something better than that.

The award goes to...

The most unintentionally funny video of all time award goes to Journey for Seperate Ways. This video just oozes 80's cheese. Just look at the woman in the video. I don't think there was more of an 80's specimen than her. From the awesome hair and make-up, to the all leather skirt and jacket (collar up, of course) and white pumps. Hotness!!! I will now go through and point out the bits of the video that stand out as pure awesomeness!

(Author note: I only know Steve Perry's name. The rest of the band shall be reffered as the instruments that they play. Except for Chester, the bass player. More on that later.)

The video opens with them standing around as Keyboard plays an air keyboard, and Drummer keeps time on his air drums. Then BAM! The instruments appear. Amazing!

:20- Chick walks by and the entire band walks up to the camera as if they were in a high school musical. Then Drummer strikes a tough guy pose.
:29- Check out the dramatic camera cuts while Steve sings his heart out
:36- Now the rest of the band gets their air instruments and continue to rock out
:55- Keyboard is either playing his air keyboard, or seducing us with his tiger claws. Rawr!
1:15- Now we are in the band cluster. If you watch on the right, Drummer will bust out a little air drums for you. Then just to mess with you, he switches to air guitar. Tricky bastard.
1:27- Why would you play a keyboard up on the wall?
1:31- Does Drummer's shirt say "FOOSBALL?"
1:54- Steve is so upset, he slams his fist into the wall. It looks like it kind of hurts
2:07- Is he being dramatic, or is he seizing?
2:18- Here we are being treated to an awesome shot of Steve's mouth. Then we are treated to an awesome chase cam, where Steve is backing his way through a maze of trash as if he is being chased by a monster. But a really slow and lazy monster.
2:30- Holy shit! It does say "FOOSBALL" I can't tell if that is lame, or the coolest thing anyone has worn in a video ever.
2:33- Our first good shot of Chester's bitchin' moustache
2:38- Steve jumps into the shot like Richard Simmons and proceeds to walk away the pounds for us
3:04- This next bit confuses me. Why the hell is Drummer playing a bunch of oil drums? Yet the rest of the band gets to use their real instruments. Let me add that I love Chester's square 80's bass with the hidden tuning pegs. And his serious "rock" face. Everyone else just rocks for the camera.
4:20- The rest of the video is more of the same. Awesome 80's chick walking inexplicabilly around some warehouses. Steve Perry being awesome and dramatic at every possible chance. The rest of the band pretending that this is a great idea. Finally we cut to a shot with a chick in bed with headphones on. Was this all a bad dream? God, I hope so.

There is so much awesomness in this video, I'm sure I missed something. So let me know if you guys find anything else awesome.

Keepin' It Gangsta

This was the most ruthless diss songs of all time. Tupac killed Biggie on this one. WESTSIDE!!! YEAYAAAAA!!!!!

What ever happened to these guys??

I remember that I really liked this song and a few others by K7. But as quickly as they showed up, they vanished. Does anyone out there in the interweb know what happened?

This one is for the ladies!

Had I been old enough to be getting it on back in 1993, I would have been doing it to Jodeci's album, Diary of a Mad Band. This album had so many great songs on it. I suggest that all the guys out there go out and find it. Then have a nice dinner, a long walk on the beach, and finally bring her home and put this on. After all that, I like your chances!

Here's a song off their first album. You might want this one too...

RICK ROLLED!!!

I'm sorry for doing this but I think it's hilarious. So until tomorrow, enjoy!

Bone Thugs Friday

Fo Tha Love of Money
Since today is Bone Thugs n Harmony Friday I am blessing you with one of their best songs. I don't know if you guys remember this or not but Bone's music talked about of course smoking weed and also some paranormal shit. Example, they had a song called Mr. Ouija. I had a friend who told me he had a friend who played their CD on a continous loop while he slept and when he woke up, he had scratches all over his face. I remember being like oh shit I better not play this shit. In retrospect I had some pretty stupid friends.


Mr Ouija...oh no they're gonna get me!!!

Put it On Bullet...Put it in Your Brain

Know The Ledge is on the soundtrack of one the greatest movies of all time (JUICE) from one the greatest rappers of all time (RAKIM). WRECKING CREW!!!!

It's the Thuggish-Ruggish Friday

I know I already posted a Bone video this week, but I thought I should take it back to their first video.

Summer of '96

It was the summer of ’96, and I had received a call from my favorite cousin Becky. She had mentioned that it would be cool if I could come out and visit them for a couple of weeks. I totally agreed! So with my next McCheck, (I used to work at McD’s) I bought me a plane ticket and was off to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina. And yes, that is its real name. I ended up getting stuck in the Charlotte airport for an extra 3 hours. They actually have a Cheers bar in there. It didn’t look anything like the show, but I bought a pack of playing cards and played more solitaire in those few hours then I ever had. The only comfort I had at the time was my cd player and a couple of cds. By far the most listened to for me was Bone Thugs –N-Harmony’s E 1999 Eternal.


Why the hell is his head on fire?

Becky’s husband Gene was there to pick me up when I finally arrived. On the way to their house, we got a chance to catch up. He was also telling me about the Air Force and the base. I was so amazed to think that the base had a movie theater, a bowling alley, and like its own wal-mart type store. I couldn’t wait to check all this stuff out. We got to their house, and Becky was waiting for us. It was really cool to see her again. She actually lived with me for a while growing up, and was the closest thing to a sibling that I ever had. We always had a blast. That night we started a new tradition while eating dinner there. Gene would put on the new La Bouche cd and all through the meal he and I would bob our heads, like Steve and Doug Butabi (Night at the Roxbury).



The next two weeks were spent visiting all the places on base that I could go to. Not only was I amazed at all the different things there was to do on the base, but how cheap things were. Like bowling only cost us like $2 a game, plus there was no tax. Madness! Gene also started teaching me about golf. As much as I would’ve liked to be good, I wasn’t. So I rescinded myself to be his caddy. Which was awesome because I got to drive the golf cart! Our other past time was playing video games. When I first met Gene in 1990, we spent several days playing the original Metal Gear on the NES. Now was no different. He had a new Playstation and a Super Nintendo. Most of the time we would play one game in particular. Although I never beat him, it was still awesome. Boomshakalaka!



We also watched several great movies! Mostly Eddie Murphy movies. The Golden Child, Vampire in Brooklyn, and of course Coming to America. I could almost recite the entire movie after these two weeks. Another movie that stuck in my mind was CB4. It was so stupid it was funny. Plus with songs like “Straight outta Locash” you can’t go wrong. (NSFW language)



One of the days, we went to the mall. On the way there, I saw that I was running for state senate. Well, not me, but the sign said BRANNAN for State Senate. I thought that I had to have one of those. So Gene and I had planned to go out the next morning to the outskirts of town and find one out there and grab it and go. Conveniently for us there were two of them stapled to a board on a farm road just a few miles out of town. So we hop out and start pulling them off. As soon as we get started, Farmer Joe comes flying out of pick-up and asks what the hell are we doing? My first thoughts are “Oh shit! We are about to get shot and nobody will ever know!” And in the most impressive bit of high pressure improv I have ever seen, Gene starts off with this great story about how my name is Brannan and I’m from out of town and wanted one of the signs and we called the campaign office and asked to get one but they said that they were all out and that it would be ok if we came out there and grabbed one. He came up with all that without even missing a beat. I even believed it! Farmer Joe bought it and wished me a safe trip back to Florida. Back in the car, and after a great laugh. This song came on the radio and I will never forget it.



Another important visit we made, was to the flight line where Gene worked. I met a bunch of the guys he worked with and they were a trip. But it’s because of them I decided to join the Air Force. Back then I had wanted to be in the Army. I was so gung-ho. I wanted to be an Airborne Ranger. So these guys had to give me a hard time about it. Then one guy asked me why the Army and not the Air Force. I had no answer. Then asked me if I gave 100% in everything I do. I said that I did. Then he broke it down, and changed my view forever. He said “In the Army, it is expected that you give 100% all the time. And that’s just enough to get by. In the Air Force, if you give 100% you’ll be a fucking superstar!” I kind of just laughed it off at first, but the seed had been planted.

Unfortunately, my two weeks were up and it was time to go back home. It was the summer before my senior year, and I still had no idea what I was going to be when I grew up. It didn’t matter, I had an entire year to think about it. I had just had an awesome time and a summer I will never forget!
I’ll leave with probably my favorite song then. It was Green Day’s 2000 Light years away. It was off their album Kerplunk, and quite fitting for the end of my story.

You're So Fucking Special

I'll try to switch it up here with some Alternative/Rock or whatever genre Radiohead falls into. My uncle was the one who got me into metal/rock/grunge/alternative. I would always hear him blasting Metallica and Iron Maiden. Those Iron Maiden album covers use to scare the shit outta me!! Anyways, every now and then my uncle would play some Janes Addiction or some Radiohead. I especially remember this song "Creep" because it use to depress the shit out of me. It's a good thing EMO wasn't around back then because I would imagine there would be mass EMO suicides. Then again that might be a good thing.

Today was a good day!

I remember playing dominoes growing up with my grandma since I was 6 and knew how to count. The problem was when I got older and was playing that I started slamming them on the table yelling "DOMINO MUTHA FUCKA".... Grandma didn't appreciate that very much.

Forget Oreos and eat Cool J cookies!!!

This is before LL got all "glossy" and got crazy with the lip licking thing. He actually still sounded tough.

If anyone would like to make their own posts, send us an e-mail and we'll get you added.

Rock Rock to the Planet Rock

I think this song came out before I was born but in high school breakin’ was thing do and this song was the breaker’s anthem. Guys would come into to the cafeteria early in the morning with their cardboards in hand and start doing their thing. My main reason for hanging out there was to see guys crack there skulls.

This back in time moment is brought to you by one scared little bitch ass white boy in the 5th Grade!

So the day that Big B. gives me an invite to post about the Old School Friday videos, I see this special on MTV2 today titled... "1988: The Year That Hip Hop Broke"

"Run-DMC (Who's House... Run's House)", NWA, Salt N Peppa, Ice-T, Ice Cube, Public Enemy, Ultramagnetic MC's, Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markee, Eric B. and Rakim... Just to name a few...

What they broke or if they were trying to say "Broke Out" I don't know. I do know that there were so many artists and matching videos on YouTube that I almost went nuts and posted all of them as they aired on the show. However I leave you with a video from an artist that got me into trouble. I was a skinny white kid who didn't fit in with the Chicano's and didn't like the prep scene. I sure as hell wasn't going to mess around with the scary black folk either. 1988 brought on some bullshit between me and a girl and all I remember my mom being worried about when I was at school was that I didn't do drugs or hang out with those that did.

Another thing that I remember was the movie Colors came out and all I can remember about that era was worrying about not wearing the wrong fucking clothes either by color, or the fucking label. Remember BK (British Knights) shoes. "Don't fucking wear those to school, they stand for Blood Killers" said my friend.
So I tried my best and managed not to get shot or get my ass kicked for wearing the wrong shit.

So back to the video. I had a cousing (Super Whitey Chick) who listened to this music and first introduced me to it by letting me listen to Too Short's Cusswords. WTF was she thinking. Anyway another CD tape that she had was N.W.A.'s Straight Outta Compton and I remember really REALLY liking this song.

Enjoy,
C.B.

I fought the system.....and lost

I remember getting "in school suspension" for a day from junior high for wearing this Cypress Hill shirt (the one in the video)that said "The Phunky Cypress Hill Shit" on the back. I thought I was cool. I wasn't. I got stuck with some "vatos locos" who could kick my ass. WRECKING CREW!!!!

Mom is alwalys on back!

We are back!!!

For those of you who know us, we've been gone for a while. We are back now at our new home. Tell your friends!!!
