In 1992... (damn i feel old)
i planned to be on a vi right now but had to work long in the FMC so i'm reading and try to catch up on work. since I can't be with my baby right now, i gotta keep myself busy. so i'm accepting the challenge and then gonna "tag yr it" to some of the homegirls.
the rules:
Underline favorites
Strikethru the ones you loathe
Italicize the ones you consider to be guilty pleasures.
I'm adding ??? to the ones I cannot remember. This is supposed to be top 100 but I don't know if I have enough time for all that. We'll see where I get.
Top 100 Hits of 1992 / Top 100 Songs of 1992
1. End Of The Road, Boyz II Men
i have really mixed feelings about this song. i did love it at one point in time. then my friends got car jacked in HELL-A. a group of dudes locked the homegirl in the trunk and drove around for hours playing this song over and over. they proceeded to have their collective (and violent way) with her and left her, without clothes, in Compton. never got caught. song could never recover. i know, a heavy way to set this off but that's how my life is.
2. Baby Got Back, Sir Mix A-lot
i remember sitting in electronic english class and my teacher Fred asked me specficially, what do u think: empowering or disrespectful? i was already a hip hop feminist before i claimed it. i am wondering how this video got banned from mtv. couldn't have imagined then what i see there now. and target, "baby's got backpack". the song has aged like i have.
3. Jump, Kris Kross
i do remember getting my jump on.
4. Save The Best For Last, Vanessa Williams
too corny

8. Under The Bridge, Red Hot Chili Peppers
i moved from ny to la in 92. this was my theme song. i LOVED john frusciante (pre-drug skinny look). i went thru a white boy skater era (even had a skater boyfriend in high school - shout out to jeff b!). i love those muscles that lead you down. look at my boy:
9. All 4 Love, Color Me Badd
