Actually there was a Skee-Lo "I Wish" video posted on Youtube last year or the year before and it had well over 1.5 million views. Unfortunately the user probably had to remove it.
Damn! whatever happened to this mellow style rap right here from the 90's? Now you couldn't get me to listen to the rap now-even if you PAID me-lol. I remember I was little and I bought the tape of this song-lol
Agreed. I used to just think this song was OK back in the day. Now I look back and realize this is a real hip-hop classic... fuckin amazing. I can't get enough of the Skee Lo... this whole album was really good too
See, this is how more rap should be. You don't have to have sex and drugs mentioned every 2 seconds to have a good song. Sometimes you just need a good beat and just let a man vent.
This is a flawless piece of genius rap - I just love it! Makes me smile and has great summer groove feel to it. Loved it the first time I heard it back in the day.
Man, this brings me back! 1995 - Minot summer was rocking, Spurs were in the Western Conference Finals (D. Rob was MVP - they didn't win, though), I was 21, and this song was ruling the waves when I was rolling in my red Dodge Dakota with the spoiler and directional rims. Good freakin' times.
I remember when this joint played on MTV at my friends house. Kids at school would try to sing this song but for Christmas of 1995, my own grandparents bought this album for me on cassette and I would jam to this song especially for hours because this was at a time when rap was about food, girls, and fun! Skee-Lo was a diamond in the rough! Thank god for a good memory Skee!
Im a white man. but I think this is the best rap song ever.
Rap is generally annoying and sounds all the same. Its not that they want to create good music... everyone is on the band wagon so they can show off their bling and cars on cribs.. lol
i luv this song! Old skool<33 old skool is so refreshing cuz old skool rappers didnt just rap about money and sex, and everything they hav and we dont, etc. old skoolers rapped about problems and stories that a lot of people can relate to.
A little yeah, though it's a bit blurry. The biker dude with black leather makes me think of Mr. Creepy from that Highlander movie.... but again... to blurry.
Its funny how you all say the one by Secret Handshake is better but if it wasn't for this one there wouldn't be one by secret handshake Got it memorized?
how is that other shit better? fucking white ass niggas liking that emo shit. how is sum whiteboy emo shit betta then tha original shit. white people r so fucking stupid
c'mon. really? It's not white people. I'm white, don't do that to me man. This version is MUCH better!! That Secret guy sucks. So we agree then! Now stop generalizing and let the music set the mood!
Reminds me of the summer of 1995 when I visited my cousins and my aunt in San Diego California... They played this song all the time on the radio there..
I miss these mellow, low-production underground beats from the 90's. Everything is over-produced and shitty nowadays. And I agree about the humor too. Rap sucks these days.
The 80's and the 90's, as well as the early 2000's were the golden age not only for Hip-Hop, but other kinds of music too. Now, it seems as people either try to hard to be gangster, they want to make dance grooves all the time, or they just don't try hard enough. This era of music sucks compared to back then, I'm so glad I grew up in the 90's.
