Before there were Pokeman. Before anyone loathed to be the Blue Ranger. There was Voltron: Defender of the Universe. This was too kick ass. I remember reading that they were trying to reinvent this for a live action film.
'03 | Hands on your knees
Almost surpassed the Electric Slide as the number 1 black dance. Version will vary.
sidebar: What the hell is a "Charlie Brown?"
'97 | I put my hand upon your hip
That's right, Freak Nasty wit "Da Dip." Disregard this horrible video. You know this song was crack at the parties.
Remix | Understanding
Xscape's beautiful ballad given a little bite. I miss remixes like this. Shout to icecoldbruh on YouTube.
8709 Special | Everybody dance now...
Everyone who deems themselves a lover of hip-hop foams at the mouth when it comes to dance tracks. Artists like Soulja Boy and D4L - which I admit are not known for their lyrical prowess in the game - are only recycling a pop culture method that has worked since Chubby did the twist. Dance crazes have always been extremely successful because of the pure fun they ensue. If the songs aren't your cup of tea, that is understandable, but don't hate and say it isn't hip-hop. We can't be cypher soldiers all the time, dip and let your backbone slip. That is why today I'll be highlightin some of the best dance songs of all time.
The Butterly, uh uh that's old....

P School | Someway, somehow
|
Labels:
70s,
chaka khan,
erykah badu,
soul
Love this song. Rufus ft. Chaka Khan from the album Street Player. I know of only one other voice to conquer this the way Chaka did.
New New | "The Medium" Southeast Slim
New mixtape from the DMV's own Southeast Slim. May have heard him on the DMV mixtape with "The Bomb" and more recently "Shake Your Plaits," both featuring Wale. Should be good. Click album cover to download. Shout to elitaste.com.
LOL | She got curls too
Caught this hilarious spoof @ 2dopeboyz. Too funny. This is what we call operation activator.
LMAO!!!!
LMAO!!!!
411 | Roker interrogates pure evil
Al Roker grills our favorite couple, right next to fire & gasoline, Spencer Pratt & Heidi Montag a.k.a. Speidi. This is a match made in celebrity hell. Why NBC regulate the weather man to talk to these waste of flesh.
MESS | Its a family affair???
Literally. Allegations are spreading that actor Morgan Freeman has been having a relations with his 27-year-old step-daughter. I had suspicions of freakdom around the time of his divorce and that car incident; but, never in my wildest dreams would I expect something like this. But hey Woody Allen married his step-daughter and they lived happily ever after, right!?! I guess we're surprised because he's BLACK. Yup I said it. And you know you were thinking it too.Maybe it was on his bucket list. Okay I'm done.
411 | Child forgives assailaint
A young man who was paralyzed by a thief's stray bullet committed the most beautiful act - he forgave the shooter. Story @ BET.com. This young man holds wisdom beyond his years, and we should strive to maintain similar values.
'73 | Robin Hood
Definitely not a 8709 classic, but this was a sure-fire way to get us kids to be quiet for an hour and half on any given day. Disney's telling of the rogue hero of Sherwood Forest was one of my favorites growing up. Even the most complicated stories of society mores can be lightened with talking animals. Poverty? Crime? Politics? Just add a singing rooster.
