Random Laugh: Were We This Bad Back in the Day? LOL!

It's a beautiful thing to meet good people on the street and share a handshake...except in Chicago (watch your hand gestures in that city!) I don't know--these cats take it just a little TOOOOOO FAAAAAAAAAAR! LOL!

hahahahaha....the choreographer needs an award just for putting all that together.

that was funny and a great post.

Excellent find, Ced...excellent.

let me go practice my handshakes now.

Jacqueline said...

Funny! Thanks for the laugh! I was reading another blog, and the host requested that "when you drop by, at least say hi." So, hi; just dropping by!
Blessings

Unknown said...

LOL! Man, you'll be practicing till November!

Thanks for stopping by, Jacqueline! Keep laughing--it lengthens life!

Shai said...

Very creative. LOL.

Unknown said...

LOL! And goofy!

Dave J. said...

"We give each other greetings, instead of saying hi" ...name that tune. ^^

I'll give a hint, its a blast from the past. Released somewhere between '87 and '90.

I watched that three times.

Jacqueline said...

Okay Dave! Callin' me out! I really feel like part of the fam already! LOL! Have to give us more hints than that, and I'm going to be looking for some help! :-)

Unknown said...

Momentary brain fart--it's RIGHT THERE in the "dude WAKE UP" part of my brain...

I laughed at this one 3 times...LOL...OK, four.

I'm with you, Jacqueline--I need a phone-friend for this one!

Dave J. said...

Ok. This group's first album was out the same year as De La Soul's Three Feet High and Rising, and they later collaborated with A Tribe Called Quest, and are sort of considered part of that "scene."

I was listening to this CD a few times last week after blowing off some of the dust. I forgot how foundational that statement was for me, in my thinking.

Rich Fitzgerald said...

can you say, run to the otherside of the street when you see people you know.

CapCity said...

That was funny as heck - but why did it look like a mating dance to me? LOL!

uh, Dave - u giving the answer, yet? i give up - was this krs-one? sounds like his stilo...

Jacqueline said...

***Peeking around the corner to see if the answer to Dave's question has arrived*** LOL!

Dave J. said...

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the incredible, JB's.....!

All are present and accounted for
Take roll call theres a hundred or more

Brothers, sisters that I call my tribe
Livin' a high on a FUNK-E vibe

Step in the stride and all think the same
Play differently but all the same game

I don't eat meat 'cause I'm not that mean
Drink a lot of juice so my insides are clean

Do unto others like they do to us
Stay out the grip of in God we trust

Work by day, ritual by night
The vibe holds the tribe and keeps it real tight

We give each other greetings instead of sayin' hi
And that's the first feelin' when you feel the Tribe Vibes.

DAVE! I wish I hadn't read the rest of the comments before I posted this. I remembered the line early this morning...

Gotta love a hip hop head!

Unknown said...

Confession: the Jungle Brothers were my least favorite artists in the Native Tongues crew. De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest are still my favorites.

And I wish Queen Latifah still rhymed...nothing against Dana Owens, the singer...but I miss her voice on a rap track!

Whaddup, Rich!

CapCity said...

Dangggg, Dave u took a sistah BACK on that one! The Brothers...the jungle! I LOVED them...didn't always know what was being said - but I sure did get my boogie ON. LOL!

speaking of voices that I MISS, Ced - I wish Heavy D & MC LYTE would come back & show these young'uns how it's DONE!

Rich Fitzgerald said...

Dave you never cease to amaze me. You hiding out in the suburbs, but I see you. Do your thang man.

I dug the JB's, but The Tribe, ish, thems still my negroes.

Lisa Johnson said...

Oh that was toooo funny! I loved the hat switch and back flip especially! ; )

Dave J. said...

@ Ced
I'd have to say they were my least favorite too, but they had a lot of wisdom about their lyrics.

@ Cap
"Jump up freak a hustle, do what you want but move every muscle"

@ Rich
:)

Unknown said...

Dave can be my dj anytime, y'all! Anyone remember a group named Stetsasonic aka the original hip hop band?

Some people/Don't like the way that/Sal-ly walks

That was my JOINT!

Cap, JB's were one of the few groups back in the day who did a house music jawn that I LIKED! Until I stepped through Chicago, I hated house music! Now, I miss the Booloo Master (sic)radio sessions. Oh yeah, Cap, FYI: MC LYTE HAS A NEW PROJECT DROPPING THIS YEAR! You can hear a new joint produced by DJ Premier named "Golden Years" on Youtube. HOT!

Anali: Thanks for blessing my page. Glad you could devote the time.

Jacqueline: I'm glad you feel a comfort zone here!

Rich: THAT'S WHY YOU MY DAWG, PLAYA! Tribe is still my favorite group--even if Tip changed his name and Phife just dropped off the face of the earth!

CapCity said...

Dave - u tryin' to start somethin'. ha haaa!

Ced - how can U really pick ONE favorite group??? who u think u kidding? LOL! FYI: of COURSE, i remember Stetsasonic AND the dance that went with the song. one, two, three - HIT meh! ROFLMAO!

Sheletha said...

that some funny ish...if it took that long to say hi to someone, i would be a boughetto chic...

...they call me that anyway

Jacqueline said...

Dave! Thanks for the answer, man! You started something for sure! LOL! I can come out of hiding now! :-)

Jacqueline said...

Oh and Ced, thank you for the warm welcome! You are a righteous host!
Blessings

Unknown said...

Cap, Stet is the CREW! They set the bar for a true hip hop band (Sugarhill Gang and the Furious Five don't count--they were backed by hired bands.) The Roots are the best of the current generation at what they do, but I love the old standard more.

Jacgueline, I'm just glad that you hopped in this cool/hot/happy/weird gumbo of thought the way good people should--feet first and smiling!

nikki said...

my brother and i had the elaborate handshake when we were kids. it was fun then.
