ok, ok. after this one, tone-loc didn't really have much of a musical career. but this is a pretty good pop-rap album -- not just for "wild thing" and "funky cold medina," but also for "cheeba cheeba."
nothin' to be shamed about ... so why are there no tone-loc threads hereabouts?!?

Busted this out last night after many years--on cassette, no less--and it's still a solid ride. "Cheeba Cheeba" was one of the first contemporary songs my white teen suburban Just Say No generation ass ever heard that openly advocated the recreational smoke.

the latest news i can find for him is that he's been on some 'i love the 90s' tour - good!
and also that he called out some kid in an airport for wearing a confederate flag hat, lol - https://www.tmz.com/2019/03/29/rapper-tone-loc-confrontation-confederate-flag-texas-airport/

I always thought the penultimate track on that album, menacing Dust Brothers instrumental “Loc’in on the Shaw,” was ripe for rediscovery in some GTA-type video game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs7AeLWzq2c

Tone Loc playing a free lawn show near me in August! Will report back. Hopefully he won't have a seizure on stage, although he's in the right town to get good medical care what with the Mayo Clinic just up the road.
