I am amazed this has never had a thread.

Plaxico (I know, right?), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 17:02 (seventeen years ago)

it's almost cruel to have a thread about the Monstars Anthem while Ethan is banned

far beyond steendriven (some dude), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 17:06 (seventeen years ago)

Plaxico (I know, right?), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 17:14 (seventeen years ago)

would love to vote for Monstars anthem, but "I Believe I Can Fly" is on this.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 17:17 (seventeen years ago)

Also, my friend in 11th grade once pitched the porno movie title "Face Jam"

Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 17:18 (seventeen years ago)

i love how there are so many acts on here whose careers were essentially already over for a couple years by '96 (Spin Doctors, All-4-One, Salt N Pepa, etc)

far beyond steendriven (some dude), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 17:18 (seventeen years ago)

I have no idea how I am going to vote yet. I got reminded of this because I have been listening to D'Angelo and it reminded me that the D'Angelo song was the only track I didn't like

Plaxico (I know, right?), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 17:19 (seventeen years ago)

one year at nerd camp me and my best friend lived across the hall from a kid named wei-hsu and my friend made up a song that went

i believe wei-hsu's gay
talked about it just the other day
all he thinks about is other men
buys male prostitutes with his yen

i think there were more verses but those are the only ones i can remember

obscure reference (Stevie D), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 17:19 (seventeen years ago)

I only know two songs by the Quad City DJs and both of them are stone cold fucking classics.

In eighth grade algebra, our teacher was just lousy. Lousy at explaining math, lousy at everything. I don't remember the catalyst, but the class had a meltdown one day where we basically mutinied. During this, a girl climbed on top of the table on which the overhead projector was kept. She sang "I Believe I Can Fly," holding her hair in her hands and flapping her hair up and down like wings.

On the other hand, I can'tsay no to the command to come on and SLAM and welcome to the JAM.

Veteran of the Psychic Wars (Abbott), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 19:45 (seventeen years ago)

Quad City DJ's - Space Jam

I lost count of the number of times I made my parents rewind the tape to hear this again.

love the r kelly (famous one) and seal joint (i have that on 12"?!?!) and i like quad city deejays, but this one is obviously all about Monstars. it's right up there with meth's "the riddler" for kooky movie related hiphop jams by actual emcees.

pipecock, Friday, 10 April 2009 00:22 (seventeen years ago)

kooky movie related hiphop jams by actual emcees

i think a poll for that is in order

lil waynes babymama (musically), Friday, 10 April 2009 00:31 (seventeen years ago)

what else qualifies? obviously "Space Jam" itself won't since the QCDJs weren't really renowned emcees.

pipecock, Friday, 10 April 2009 00:54 (seventeen years ago)

vanilla ice - ninja rap
mc hammer - addams family rap
run dmc - ghostbusters rap
prince - batdance

lil waynes babymama (musically), Friday, 10 April 2009 01:20 (seventeen years ago)

bobby brown's jam for ghostbusters 2 is a joint and a half, he only raps for like 5 seconds but it should almost count because that track is so great.

pipecock, Friday, 10 April 2009 01:29 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Monday, 13 April 2009 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

I can't believe you idiots actualy like "I Believe I Can Fly."

Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 01:43 (seventeen years ago)

I love how this album is a sort of rallying point for Young ILM.

Cunga, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 01:49 (seventeen years ago)

It went platinum six times over!

Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 02:08 (seventeen years ago)

Shoot, I want to see both a poll and a downloadable playlist for this "rappers rapping about film/comic characters." Color me intrigued.

I remember the summer this came out so well. I remember that there was a massive basketball craze sweeping the nation, and even though I couldn't play for shit, I still knew names of loads of NBA players for some reason (I don't know how we acquired this knowledge, its not like NBA was on television here or anything), but it seemed like the longest summer ever and we would go and cycle our bikes around the school and somebody would always have a cassette of this (I think I lost mine, at least my sister stole it enough times) I Believe I can Fly is obviously the best thing on it. I remember before I bought the soundtrack, my friend had the single and we would play it on his playstation (lol) and I made a cassette copy of it, but it skipped all the bombastic clarinet stuff and landed right on the first kick drum. Still, we would dance to the Space Jam and Hit 'em High and this whole album makes me think of being 10 and being way too hopped up on Mister Freeze's./Livejournal

So yeah, I Believe I Can Fly.

Plaxico (I know, right?), Tuesday, 14 April 2009 09:44 (seventeen years ago)

There is a gravestone maker's near me called R. Kelly's Monumental Works btw

Plaxico (I know, right?), Tuesday, 14 April 2009 11:55 (seventeen years ago)

seems everyone shares good movies for this one. i was 11/12 had a girlfriend (nothing serious, i was almost too shy to talk to here and vice versa i think) anyway saw this in the cinema with her.
(and subsequently bought I Believe I Can Fly on a deluxe ep cd whatever edition)
i like how the film sort pokes fun out of Jordan's baseball "career".

Ludo, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 12:01 (seventeen years ago)

good memories. not good movies. :)

Ludo, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 12:01 (seventeen years ago)

btw it seems this movie was the last time the Looney Tines were MEGA. i wonder if they'll ever come back (sorta doubt it)
around the same time everbody was collecting plastic coins called flippo's here:

Ludo, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 12:05 (seventeen years ago)

must buy this on DVD

Plaxico (I know, right?), Tuesday, 14 April 2009 12:13 (seventeen years ago)

What are these weird sub-Pog circles, Ludo?

fillibustar superstar! (Abbott), Tuesday, 14 April 2009 17:56 (seventeen years ago)

i have no idea what sub-Pog means, but this photo might explain things:

http://www.dwk.nl/kast/data/175/100590C.jpg

you were supposed to collect them in these maps, but it seemed most of the kids were just playing a wide variety betting games with 'em.

Ludo, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 18:55 (seventeen years ago)

btw they were freebies in bags of potato chips, i wonder if kid obesity started there.

Ludo, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 18:55 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

I feel like the top three were about right.

Fucking hell, “Buggin’” might be the single worst song I’ve ever heard in my life. Just incredibly lame and unfunny. “I’m a bunny, right? All we do is hip-hop.” Hyuk hyuk. Get it? Fuck you, Jay-Z!

Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 26 July 2020 19:51 (five years ago)
