i never got a chance to go to KMEL summer jam as a kid. didn't attend any school dances other than freshman homecoming and senior prom. i blame most of that on my parents moving us to benicia...it's a long complicated story, but if you know me you know how that makes sense.
regardless, i still fondly remember that magical time in the late 80's and early 90's when music meant something to me. when you could turn on 'in living color' to learn a cool dance move from the fly girls (pre JLo). when i would record 'yo! mtv raps' after school for my brother to watch when he got home from work. when bell biv devoe rapped about needing a 'body bag' and my 12 year old ass had no idea what they were talking about.
so, when BBD, tony toni tone and keith sweat came to oaktown for the 'ladies night out tour' i quickly sent out a call to the 2 friends in SF that both had a hip-hop-on-an r&b-tip-with-a-pop appeal to them.
the rest is moet.
