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

[Art Barr]

It was arguably the biggest song of that era given its content.
It became the original.
They tripping on song content but you walk in the mall and it is playing on every store mall marketing cd in the mall. When the whole license modern pop in stores thing became this thing.
It arguably was the first crossover over saturation method record.
With a luke song dancer premise but rnb.


It was annoyingly everywhere.
I mean everywhere.

My dude, what in the hell did you think of her before knowing she was a video hoe in the Superhead era of the late 90s early 2000s .

I just assumed she was getting bust down right on set by random Murder Inc and Roc entourage members

Not at all.
Back then.
Dem nikkaz ain't have game to buss down no video hoes.
This was in the actual video ho era.
Where they got paid.
So when this popped up.
This is how the split on jessica wabbit and animal occurred.
As nikkaz was like chu both some groupie ass goofies after this.
Back then rappers were barely hiring top notch laid video chicks and would get sonned.

I know so because the group i debuted with.
Had drawing legs because we were the group. That had parody skits about actually buss'n hoes down in sckrippas money weed and wangs.
Nobody in actual hiphop culture that were emcee frfr.
Was on it like that.

As a matter of fact the review in xxl is wrong for them.
As the review for xxl points out that skit above everything else.
As that was the direction they wanted rap to go in distinctly.
To the point sckrippas money weed and wangs was taken out of that context of artistry.
Then made into sumfin totally far and away.
from what was intended artistically.

It was like what ever you could do to keep the burlesque shyt in the bag.
People in the world wanted to be trick johns that we see today.

That here we are.
