OMG I can't lie. I'm kinda liking this. I'm pretty sure OYN is "SMH"ing at this, but whatever. This would be my shit if I was the type to be "feelin' myself."
Enjoy!
Skip to 0:44 to get to the video. Every other one was freaking disabled!!!!
But anyway, I had heard this song before, but I just recently saw this video. I must say, I was impressed. Bobby Brown wasn't as "off" as he seems these days and I can see how his (stage) personality could've been too much for the rest of New Edition to handle. I love the song because it's poppy and danceable, but I like the video even better because of the dancing and the costumes (can they even be called costumes?). I mean, it's hard for me to believe that they actually took themselves seriously wearing studded jackets with huge shoulder pads and no shirts under them. And the biker shorts with BOBBY down the side? Really? This is why I love the 80s. Everyone was so corny, but didn't realize it. They really thought they were stylin on hoes. The dance moves are great though. This is one album I wish I could find in my family's stash.
When I have a problem, my first instinct is to go to bed. I've always has this infatuation with sleep. When I'm sleeping, everything that happens doesn't matter because it's not real. I have no real problems when I'm sleeping and everything and everyone that has been bothering me goes away for a little while. But, like everything, sleep isn't perfect. Sometimes my problems follow me into my dreams. It's times like those that I realize that true happiness isn't real.
What do you do to get away?
Words cannot explain how much I love this song. The beat, the flows, the imagery in the video are all just wonderful. I mean, when's the last time you saw mountains and beaches in a rap video that weren't strewn with barely clothed video models? It's simplicity at its best; it's just rappers rapping in their street clothes in regular-ass locations. Though I was a wee lass when this single was released, I get the feeling that rappers in the 90s weren't feeling themselves as heavy as they are now. These guys were just normal dudes who happened to rap. They weren't making a whole lot of money, but they were doing what they loved to do and having a good time as well. It's evident from the video that they weren't all that flashy, but were stuntin' with what they did have. I think we could all take a cue from backpack rappers of yesteryear. It's a recession folks, and ballin' on a budget is the new Black.
REAL TALK.
Bad judgement all around, but a good song to get your groove on to.
I kill this dance in my dorm room.
