Oldheads: Just how "big" was Thong Song? :jbhmm:

[Brock Landers]

Now lemme preface this by saying I'm no young blood myself but I still remember this being ALL OVER the damn radio and MTV...but I wasn't able to hit up the clubs (I was 12 ) and truly experience the debauchery that would come with a record of this type...were the ladies really bussin it open like that in these establishments? Was that entire "Unleash the Dragon" album getting play? Did it bump in the whip?

I was just in the beginning stages of beating my meat to the other blassic videos of the day like that first Jennifer Lopez joint and Tip Drill, so when this came out and I saw all those fine women in the video it had me like

Lettuce discuss this and come to some kind of conclusion

 

[Terrance Curtis Beasley]

Big as my dikk

 

[Brock Landers]

Big as my dikk

That aint got nothing to do with me or the premise of this thread broski, I'm trying to piece together the very fabric of history over here.

I was 14 when this dropped and just started hitting up the teen club circuit in NYC. When this came on all the young freaks went crazy. And as you( op )mentioned it was all over MTV, bet, the radio Etc. I was young myself but I remember this being big in my little lane so I can only imagine what it was going on at clubs like the tunnel, Palladium, and other big clubs in the city when this dropped

 

[Ivan Swaggtacular]

Song was bananas at the time. I was in my senior year of high school and it damn near changed everything.....not to mention No Limit, Cash Money, and Ruff Ryders (among others) were ushering in a new wave of black excellence......the game changed forever

 

[Billy Ocean]

Song was huge. Anybody saying otherwise is lying or just don't know. It was huge throughout pop culture also, not just Hip Hop.

 

[Ohene]

Massive I'm only 26

I appreciate and value your insight big bro, I'm wondering if there are any such videos of this song playing in those big clubs back in the day Sisqo was ON ONE! Sure his other releases after his second album were frisbee-status but he must have been on top of the world during that period



I can't even think about Melyssa Ford the same way knowing she was smutted out in her prime by this chrome-haired RnB singer

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Song had all the young thotties showing off their new thongs

 

[Cole Cash]

you couldnt go too many places without hearing it was always on tv shows, video rotations etc

 

[tuckgod]

Song was everywhere

 

[daze23]

it was big, but at the same time people really didn't take it seriously

 

[Techniec]

i was 16

song was a MONSTER nuff said

very few songs were on that level in terms of success and how huge it was

 

[Killigraphy]

It was basically like Hotline Bling...damn near everywhere, television, radio, corny dudes playing it on their portable whateverdafukk just to try and get some thots hype...


Again like Hotline Bling.

 

[Monoblock]

It was huge and could've been bigger but the video dropped with Sisqo dancing around instead and hardly any women in thongs it was disappointing.

Edit:
I was halfway sleep and my memory has gone to shyt.
