Was Technotronic "Pump Up The Jam" dope or corny to you growing, old heads?

[NormanConnors]

Dope

 

[RAX 010]

shyt was fire but I was too young to really appreciate it ...

 

[Mandizi]

Reminds me of 90's bulls games cause the stadium DJ would always play it.

 

[RedBull]

Yall seriously didnt enjoy skating / dancing / whatever with background music like this?

They didn’t really play this in NYC rinks, especially the Empire in Brooklyn and the Skate Key in the Bronx. Maybe the one in Jackson Heights Queens. I forgot the name, USA I think.

Loved the space jam version

nikka made a @BrothaZay thread.

 

[Mowgli]

When you rolling skating under those dark lights with the ladies around.

You gonna pump up the jam, pump it up.

It was good but, still, at the same, time corny - think Gangnam Style for reference …

How old are you breh?

 

[NZA]

bear in mind i was a small child when it came out but... it was very popular but that style of music aged fast. it going out of style with some audiences was not due to the song being corny but because all urban music started needing a harder edge when gangsta rap exploded. dance music started segregating and groups like that would never really be able to thrive again.

Feel good music

How old are you breh?

I’m 97

Or I listen to a lot of music and get opinions from others like you all are doing here.

Or maybe both.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I liked the song the problem was that it was.so popular they played it out pretty quickly.

Still a classic though.

It was on every middle school and high school girls basketball playlist at games.

That was 88. I believe. I was a freshman when this dropped but yea it became the school jam right on the cusp of the Golden era of hip-hop.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I was barely alive when it came out so it had no effect on me

But its definitely a corny song. But it was a huge song in that history in time so
