Let’s take a trip down memory lane!
Lil’ Troy “Wanna Be a Baller”
A great song…perhaps the most underrated of all the Lil’s out there in the rap game.
Here is a line I enjoyed:
“Switched from a Motorola to a PrimeCo phone…”
Ummmm…I don’t know if PrimeCo is even around anymore…may not have been a good switch
Shaggy Feat. Rayvon “In The Summertime”
Here’s why it’s awesome, you take a song that’s already awesome “In the Summertime” and ADD Shaggy! That’s your standard recipe for awesome (1 Part Shaggy…one part anything else)!
Maxi Priest feat. Shaggy “That Girl”
Here is my thought on this song…it’s pretty catchy – admit it. Where is Maxi now? Working with UB40 AND trying to fight off those ol’ Maxi “pad” jokes….poor fella.
UB40 “Can’t Help Falling In Love”
I kind of forgot about UB40 – so I had to look it up after they grabbed Maxi Priest for some help…turns out they did have a ton of hits! HAHAHA and this video cracks me up! It looks like they are grinding on each other in the hallway…hahahahahah
*Also look up UB40 Red Red Wine…it looks like they just loved covers!!!!
Boyz II Men “Motown Philly”
Awesome…what more can I say? Any time you get everyone to dress the same and start dancing you’re doing something right. And how awesome was the high top fade? It takes you back to a time when Dee Brown ruled the slame dunk roost….this was of course before the high top fade was banned from the NBA for making players TOO aerodynamic…they could just cut through the air!
Dee Brown - the reason the high top fade was banned from the league...
*You may notice during the song they mention ABC…because…
Another Bad Creation “ABC” “Playground”
This is kind of a weird video…I don’t know what the “hook” room is…and why is the guy talking on that huge walkie talkie at the beginning of the video?
Kriss Kross “Tonight’s the Night”
I could have gone with Jump…Jump…but I went with this video because it’s awesome. There are like a million Mac Daddys and Daddy Macs!!!!!!
House of Pain “Jump Around”
House of Pain is one of my favorite groups of all time! Sure Everlast’s solo crap sucks…but still. If the University of Wisconsin didn’t ruin this song for everyone it would still be awesome…oh well…
And there you have it folks! Some songs that should jog the ol’ Memory!

Wow I remember almost all those songs; I love the older songs. To tell you the truth I actually prefer the 80’s and 90’s music than most of today’s.
Although there are still some good songs today; there is nothing like going back in time.

Oh man, I hadn’t heard the name Lil Troy in ages. That song was ridiculous but it did so well. What a blast from the past.

I remember every one of those songs. I had more than a few of those albums. This is like taking a ride on the nostalgia bus …

Talk about a trip down memory lane. The UB40 video was classic. If I remember correctly one of their biggest hits was “Red Red Wine”. That must be about 25 years old by now.

Your right Lil Troy is probably the most underrated of all the Lil’ but he sure made some really nice tunes. Kinda miss the old days where music really made sense.

Great! I keep in mind exactly all those songs; I love this type of old songs. Truly speaking, I in fact prefer the 80’s and 90’s music than most of in the present day.

gossip about a journey down reminiscence track. The UB40 record was standard. If I keep in mind properly single of their largest hits was “Red Red Wine”. so as to should be about 25 existence aged by at the present.
