FrankGrimes Posted April 13, 2011 Can I be so old that I don't have any idea who they are? Wait. Don't answer that. Actually, most people don't know who Eric B & Rakim are. That's young and old. You have to know rap. For Wendy's spring wishes I was thinking this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7oAFs_V2e8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrankGrimes Posted April 13, 2011 Color me clueless. You're in the majority. I just get a little itchy when I see everyone's music tastes on this board being so drastically different than mine. But I do know how strange it is for a classic film fan to also be a rap music fan. Then I listen to stuff like this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankGrimes Posted April 13, 2011 Strangely, I like both of those! Biz and Heavy D were mostly party rap in the late-80s and early-90s. This gave them a crossover, pop appeal that helped them reach white audiences. I'm pretty much a Biz fan and I liked Heavy D before he adopted an "R&B" sound. This is probably Biz's biggest song in the world of hip hop: This is my favorite of his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg0G3v5O33Y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted April 13, 2011 I really like Biz Markie! Especially the last one. I still have hair as big as those girls in the Jets vid. It's a good thing it's coming back.... isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redheadedwoman Posted April 13, 2011 I remember listening to a lot of rap in the late 80's as a teen. Along with heavy metal and everything in between. I've been in a Jellyfish mood for a while now, anyone listen to them? They released 2 albums in the early 90's. Also have been in a Joe Jackson mood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redheadedwoman Posted April 15, 2011 From a production standpoint, their album Spilt Milk is one of the best albums ever, in my opinion. > {quote:title=JackFavell wrote:}{quote} > I don't know Jellyfish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coolrob1955 Posted May 1, 2011 One of my angels (the middle one, well shes an angel 90% of the time anyway), got married today and tomorrow will be leaving to honeymoon in Jamaica. A good excuse to post some of my favorite Island music. Not necessarily Jamaica (Try spelling necessarily after a few drinks, or even saying it). *Typically Tropical - Barbados* Like Mary Poppins this song is perfect in every way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-jioPF6BPU *Toots and the Maytals - Funky Kingston* If this song does not make you move you are probably dead, check your pulse. *Philamore Lincoln - Temma Harbour* Australia is an Island, right? *Explainer - Lorraine* King of Soca from Trinidad. *Ken Booth - Everything I own* A sweet version of a lovely David Gates song.

movieman1957 Posted May 4, 2011 I remember it but with radio being what it is I bet I haven't heard it in years. As I recall Paul McCartney wrote it and she recorded for their Apple label. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, he wrote it, produced it. The percussive patting sound heard throughout the song is Paul slapping his thighs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
