@purpulhaze The bass player is Aaron Mills who has been with the group since 1979; although Cameo did employ have another bad ass bass player named Mike Burnett who came aboard in 1982 but passed away a few years ago.

As much as I love cameo it's not just about the skin your in, it can be creed, nationality, orientation and general beliefs. As long as there is a group that hates you with a passion there will always be trouble.

This socially conscious 80's R&B/funk song is their most overlooked one as a band, and one that I always appreciated from them. Sure, they could jam your socks off, with a funk laced dance track, or have you turn out the lights, with a mellow slow jam, but this song/video showed that they were aware of the ongoing issues that African Americans face in society, then and now, and I'm sure they weren't exempt from some of the same issues themselves, that's why I think they did this timeless song...
Great Band....always ahead of their time for those that "DON'T" know....and all the members are good enough musicians to be on their as well....shame groups like this don't exist anymore....now everyone video and song is the same....some young lame rapper, pants down, flashing fool's gold, thousands of women grinding, cars, starter caps and jackets, no themes, storylines or anything.....I missed Cameo's creativity.
@KnightMStarr ....First of all...Cameo is not a "POP" Band....they are a very "GOOD" band! You must be one of those bandwagoners that jumped on during the WORD UP era. This group has been recording since 1976...and they recorded, funk, jazz, blues, rock, and even tackled some raggae flavored tunes...checkout their songs..."Talkin out the Side of Your Neck, I've Got your Image, She's Strange, In The Night, Little Boys and Dangerous Toys, etc"....you will be so amazed at how versatile they are.
Cameo!! Wow just wow. Probably the baddest funkiest band of their time. Always tight tight music. They sure do not make music like yesterday. Our black artist's (?) have sold out to the white man for the almighty dollar.
I know a lot of you people dont understand this song, but this song is so deep you better let your parents explain it to you. If you are KKK no explanation needed
This song would get no play on MTV or BET or the mainstream radio stations today as it's too critical thinking & Corporations want to dumb us down via music not enlighten us while taking our money, mind & soul via said entertainment (come into, hold possess, a state of being) & entertainers (idols, icons, stars, celebrities, role models).
@IceManLikeGervin It’s time to view the world in a new way; our collective efforts can be played out in music. It can also be commercially successful. Other people aren’t forced feeding garbage down other throats, we just insist on consuming it. I remember this song very well and enjoyed it! There needs to be action and less talk with more discipline. It’s not a deep song please, its topical!!!
Respond to this video... What’s deep about racism? Or the effect that it has on either parties mind, or the double standard that exist because of that ignorance??? It’s a kool song and I like it, but the real question worthy of discussion is what are you going to do about it?
On second thought, perhaps it’s very deep for you! I stand corrected
@TheBlkAlchemist Sadly so. From my experience it does vary from town to town. In Atlanta not as much but an hour away for sure. In Atlanta it could be an advantage to be black if you seek government employment. Private industry, the big money is still calling the shots in most situations. There the only color that matters is GREEN
In a way Cameo did a 180. This was one serious song. America wasn't ready for this. I love this song music is not all fun and dance. The message is in the music.
These brothers were bad asses, to 15th POWER. The music in this video, ranks right up there with JB'S from back in the day. Horns, Bass, drums, everthing just down right FUUUUNK-A!!!! Larry I'm sending out an S.O.S....where is Cameo. Somebody Help me. If you hapen to have the CD. The ending was played out at the end with music bumping to that bad ass beat they're playing.
c'mon now, cameo...this like the same exact bass line as candy....U can tell this joint was trying to piggyback off the Black power movement popularized by groups like Public Enemy and Jungle Brothers
@dee123422: HA HA HA HA !!! You're right. HA HA HA HA ! Cameo is the shit (no pun intended), but the guy that edited this video back in the day must have been high & didn't realize he left that extra second of footage in there. I haven't seen a skidmark like that since the Indy 500 :-) I still dig the shit (again, no pun intended) outta this song.
@kornelious1 I'm so sorry that "GAY" was all you got from this video YOUNGIN!!! As deep as the message is in the video, & remembering how futuristic this song was (recorded in 88), your feeble mind can't possibly wrap itself around the concept. Why dont you go watch a Justin Bieber video or something tiger....You're in the wrong lane
@jtorres851 You're well ahead of your years, and I wish more power to you. Spread the word to your peers and let them know what's up. We need more soldiers like you out there in the world today.
@dee123422 ...I don't believe that a 32 years old man would come on here and make a stupid ass comment like that. the girl in the video @ 4:03 have a dodo stain. yes mother fucker it's just you and you really such not ...Lol it's not manly like...freaking idiot get the fuck out of here!!!
notice the size of these women....nice healthy regular sized women
thats what was normal 20+ years ago
dont think yall slick using this rationale though some of you hoes need to get on that treadmill real talk..you know you do...i mean people gonna kiss ur ass anyways cause niggas aim low but regardless its not healthy either. Stop eating
fried foods and eating after 6pm unless its a salad and get your big ass on a treadmill drink alot of water got damit try. enough is enough & 2 much.....
@Doom City 202 If all processed foods were banned along with fast food restaurants we'd see a big difference in our society. Unfortunately, parents aren't cooking anymore, or even know to cook, and kids are being fed poison more than ever. I see people buying junk for their kids and not one time do they even glance at the label! It's bad enough we're genetically predisposed to certain illnesses from birth, but at some point we have to stop making excuses and start making better choices.
@DoomCity202 I feel sorry for kids that don't get a homecooked meal everyday, because they will continue to eat that garbage, because that's all they know. And it's not their fault. Hopefully someone will come along and teach them better. I don't have kids, but it kills me to see kids making bad choices that I'm sure they learned at home. Only God knows what other bad choices they're making.
Truly disturbing images in the beginning of this video :27 and y'all don't think that African Americans deserve reparations?!! That was the period that started the social economic injustices for people of color ! Nasty nasty America then because even the government was involved ! Yuck !!!
@sda1225 yes the bass is off the chain, and the horn section is literally out of this world, the whole song was put together so tight it doesnt make since, this is one of if not my fav cameo songs period
I've been a Cameo fan from day1 of there introduction and to this day this is 1 of the baddiest bands to ever do it!.. Video's like this makes me hate what this new generation is doing to the music scene today!!!
I was just listening to my cameo cd and thought i'd look this track up on you tube, back and forth was my favourite but this beats it hands down. Never knew they done a video, very impressed and got the message across without being too in your face.
I remember this video being in heavy rotation on BET back in the day. Cameo is such an underrated band. BET, please honor this group with a lifetime achievement award. They so deserve it.
also as a cameo fan i have never seen this video ,and i also believe this song / video was also downplayed, its a shame cause iam sure this tune was just based on a view of things as they were, not political views , as you can see there are all races in this video and not a direct attack on no one , its just the world we are in ,but as long as there are music fans like us music will always be fun, that takes us away from the politics and censorship shit wee get fed , peace to all
Thanks to my son I have rediscovered Cameo. I realize now there is no way I could have truly respected their work when I was a kid. This song is truly the -ish! "it is immoral or a sin if it is according to the skin I'm in~ Cameo
Like you Razerforce i too was a big cameo fan back in the day and having listen to the song so many times this is the first time that i have seen the video, now putting the two together it make so much more sense, this is one of the song that was ahead of it's time. Great posting
This has been my jam forever! Never seen the video til now. Censorship is the word and it's in full effect now. Don't believe anything you see in the corporate media. Excellent song and video. Great post!!!
Larry Blackman: So much character going on. High top fade, big ol' eyes, beautiful skin. awkward dance steps and last but not least "the cod piece". Love it
I have to say as a cameo fan this is the first time ive seen this video. The message is so much more clearer and powerful with the video. Considering the political climate of the times I would be surprised if it was deliberately downplayed for air time
@RazerForce: Like you Razerforce i too was a big cameo fan back in the day and having listen to the song so many times this is the first time that i have seen the video, now putting the two together it make so much more sense, this is one of the song that was ahead of it's time. Great posting.
@RazerForce i'm the other way, listen to the music with no visuals and make ya own mind up ,im just a child of the times 8-), music speaks for itself, video is tv lol

@MelloTaylor in most cases, it's not the artists fault for spitting such crap. Check out Slum Village Tainted (second verse)

@sda1225 yes the bass is off the chain, and the horn section is literally out of this world, the whole song was put together so tight it doesnt make since, this is one of if not my fav cameo songs period

I was just listening to my cameo cd and thought i'd look this track up on you tube, back and forth was my favourite but this beats it hands down. Never knew they done a video, very impressed and got the message across without being too in your face.

I remember this video being in heavy rotation on BET back in the day. Cameo is such an underrated band. BET, please honor this group with a lifetime achievement award. They so deserve it.

also as a cameo fan i have never seen this video ,and i also believe this song / video was also downplayed, its a shame cause iam sure this tune was just based on a view of things as they were, not political views , as you can see there are all races in this video and not a direct attack on no one , its just the world we are in ,but as long as there are music fans like us music will always be fun, that takes us away from the politics and censorship shit wee get fed , peace to all

Thanks to my son I have rediscovered Cameo. I realize now there is no way I could have truly respected their work when I was a kid. This song is truly the -ish! "it is immoral or a sin if it is according to the skin I'm in~ Cameo

Like you Razerforce i too was a big cameo fan back in the day and having listen to the song so many times this is the first time that i have seen the video, now putting the two together it make so much more sense, this is one of the song that was ahead of it's time. Great posting

I have to say as a cameo fan this is the first time ive seen this video. The message is so much more clearer and powerful with the video. Considering the political climate of the times I would be surprised if it was deliberately downplayed for air time
