[Kliq_Souf]

Last 90 seconds only good shyt bout the song...

Ur thighs... unique
Ur breast... ur feet
oh please tell me... baby
ooooowhoooaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

 

[STAN JONES]

Dont compare that crap hotline bling to thong song
Thong song was bigger than that

nah they are about the same

both songs were huge international hits and surprisingly neither reached #1 on the charts despite how huge they were

Lmao I almost feel embarrassed at how big this song was, that joint is goofy as hell but it was effective.

This is one of those joints that had the gave you an in with the quiet & nerdy freaks, so you had to respect it.

Another example of a song like that is "I Wanna Rock".

You look at the dance floor and you'll see quite a few classy edumacated types furiously bussin' it open.

Now lemme preface this by saying I'm no young blood myself but I still remember this being ALL OVER the damn radio and MTV...but I wasn't able to hit up the clubs (I was 12 ) and truly experience the debauchery that would come with a record of this type...were the ladies really bussin it open like that in these establishments? Was that entire "Unleash the Dragon" album getting play? Did it bump in the whip?

I was just in the beginning stages of beating my meat to the other blassic videos of the day like that first Jennifer Lopez joint and Tip Drill, so when this came out and I saw all those fine women in the video it had me like

Lettuce discuss this and come to some kind of conclusion

I was a senior in high school and shyt was huge. It was a phenomenon. It's crazy I'm considered an old head at 34.

 

[re'up]

Kinda hard to explain that it was way bigger than any high profile song now.....

8th grade. Copped the album too.

 

[gldnone913]

I was a freshman in college when this dropped (), but I remember the aura changed. I remember going to a thong party - joints had to show that thong to get in free

Hahaha I had a 'date' w a wholesome chick , swerved her ass to go to see the hoochies in thongs

 

[DeuceZ]

Sisqo got a TV show off this song, "Sisqo's Shakedown"...

thats how big it was...

I remember this shyt some of them broads dancing were


Thong song was MASSIVE, girls with low cut jeans with they thongs showing


Fck I'm old

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

its basically the r&b back dat azz up. shyt aint aged a day since it came out. shyt can come on right now and shut any club down.

 

[BXKingPin82]

i dont think this shyt really popped off like that til the video obviously.
but i remember me and my soon to be bm was listening to his album fresh out the package in the car driving.
and when this shyt came on and we was in tears!!
i thought the shyt was hilarious!

 

[darealvelle]

Song is corny as fukk to listen to now, but back in 99 it was the shyt.

 

[Brock Landers]

My dude, what in the hell did you think of her before knowing she was a video hoe in the Superhead era of the late 90s early 2000s .

I just assumed she was getting bust down right on set by random Murder Inc and Roc entourage members

12 year old me would swing on anybody like Trey from Boyz N the Hood if they dared say anything bad about Melyssa Ford

You was 12 in 1999 and calling folks old heads?

I was 12 too but even I remember how huge the song was

Just remember "30 is the new 20" my fellow breh

 

[patscorpio]

As was Hotline Bling, which btw reached higher numbers in the charts...

Hate on 6God all you want, but he had more hits as a rapper singing, than an actual r&b singer. I love me some Dru Hill/Sisqo, but facts are facts.

6god....canadian drake stans smh

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Big on tv & radio. Didn’t get no play in the clubs in Louisiana though. We got our own shyt

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Annnnnnnd this was his undoing-



Def Jam spent like 6-7 mill on the video..and never officially released it as a single...shyt was so bad..
