old heads What was it like when Return of the Mack first came out?

[Kilgore Trout]

For Africans especially...? Was it like Coming to America where everyone said they were a price back home lol?

I think mark was the first apologetically looking African to make it in the west....except maybe after Shaba Ranks.

It was a cool song among many during the time.

I remember you couldn't go ten minutes without someone driving by blasting it out the window. African parties and weddings....forget it. Motherfukkers wore that tape out.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

"And I cry cry cry!:shaqsing:"

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

Great throwback Brit groove song in '97, coming during the fog of BIG being killed
during the same time period.

Five Star, Junior, Soul II Soul, Loose Ends were Brits who were all over black radio in the 80s with groove music.

 

[Apollo Creed]

I was a kid when it dropped but yeah that song was everywhere.

I was 11-12 and in Philly at the time...I don't remember it getting a significant amount of burn. I liked it, but I thought it was a song from the 80s getting a new push in the mid 90s.
