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

[valet]

Chicago invented house music

Neverending debate like jitting and footwork. I'll bite my tongue in this one.

That techno sound was more novel back then. I personally never liked it but people loved it. That’s basically how history works. First people to do something are gods, then all the copycats and people who push the genre further come along so that the innovators start looking “corny”.

You play some Kurtis Blow at the club today people will roll their eyes but at the time he was a god. When you’re an old head you‘ll understand.

Absolute trash take. It's not the fukking Macarena

What’s wrong with the Macarena?

 

[Carl Tethers]

As I stated earlier, I'm from Detroit. We don't care about the distinctions. We invented it. It's all electronic to me. We are arrogant like that. We think everybody biting us.

Man - Kraftwerk weren't biting Detroit

My ma still says everything even remotely electronic reminds her of Kurtis Blow

I wasn't saying they did. I'm just saying Detroit known as the birthplace of the movement. Again, Neverending debate

I liked commercial Music growing up but this wasn't it.

Awah, a place to stay

This was also little me's jam when it came out:

Go back and watch the John Woo style scene Keenan Ivory Wayans did in Low Down Dirty Shame utilizing this song with the tension building during the lyrics “it’s gettin, it’s gettin, it’s gettin kinda hectic!”
That man was an underrated director during his time and the action scenes still visually hold up 30 years later.
