I loved this joint back then. it's crazy that I'm just seeing the video in full for the very first time.

Two things stick out to me:

1. Lot of hip hop appropriation in here. The scratches, the video chicks, etc.

2. I'm too old to enjoy this song like I did in the past. Too non-threatening. Not bold in any way. Feels like department store music.

Real shyt is almost never ever popular for mass appeal. Mainstream requires significant dumbing down

I have no idea why this pops up in the booth, but it deserves a dap. I'm not going to lie, I have this album on an hd somewhere and I bumped it more than I should have.

Sure thing, but it's 2016. That's like making a thread on Mims in 2028.

first of all Lou Bega was way bigger than Mims

second of all plenty of hip-hop dinosaurs get brought up in the booth every day. I could have sworn there is a thread about Bushwick Bill right now in the booth.
