"What Group Sang Motown Philly".....?.....Who Is raising these kids?

[How Sway?]

Expect kids born in 2006 to know about a song that came out in 1991 brehs

very few people love music enough to really go back & search old music*

 

[The Plug]

its like how jazz became a cac art form right in front of us. we create something, it becomes popular, then we let others curate and appreciate it. sad

this song is older than me.

Cac alert

Boyz 2 men is some shyt my parents knew, I'm not an old nikka.

 

[concise]

we would have known about some 60s music though.

Yea, some. You wouldn't have known every last song that was a top 50 billboard hit from 1960 to 1969 before you graduated high school.
There's like 7 Boyz 2 Men songs that were bigger hits than Motownphilly anyway.

My son would have answered it, he stay on 80's and 90's R&B mode.
I found out during covid when the kids were all home. I come in from work and can here the music bumping upstairs. I'm thinking my wife is up there jamming. Go up and find my son playing Mario kart with R&B bumping


Said he remembers them from me always playing them in the car and he found a play list that he ripped from youtube

Motown Philly was a major mainstream song. Motown Philly is like the song that launched them into the next level. Like i said, if you name some major black song from the 60s or 70s we would have gotten it within a few people.

-I raised my kids & they wouldn't know this song either. I never liked "Motown Philly" so it never got play in my house. Only people failed are the ones who keep thinking all Black people like the same shyt.

i bet cac kids know the answer.

Low key happening with R&B type music too.

Mac Ayers, Charlotte Day Wilson, Nick Hakim, Jordan Rakei all dope and most of them I ain’t know were white at first

 

[315]

Not feeling how we can be about our musical culture/history.
You don't have to know every single song but we should make it a point to make sure our youth know who came before them

 

[Mindfield333]

This is like expecting us to know Earth Wind And Fire at that age. I didn’t know any of those songs Steve Harvey played in that segment in Kings Of Comedy.

Hilarious that the white kids didn’t even attempt the answer, they just did the lap.

i knew songs that were decades older than me… that said, I’m hoping those boys weren’t from Philly… that would make it bad. But there aren’t many songs from Boys 2 men catalog that I just have to revisit.

 

[Mindfield333]

I’m 32 and I had no clue.

Non-Black? Foreign Black?

 

[Premeditated]

this is a reach

tbh, the song didn't really sound like other BTM singles

when I was a kid, I thought it was Jodeci singing it

 

[Estarossa]

Non-Black? Foreign Black?

African American…

After listening to it the hook sounds familiar… my mom is real religious so I didn’t grow up listening to that kinda music.

 

[Monsanto]

Which group sang Motown Philly?



The Gang, of course.
