I Love The Real Fly Black Chick "A Game Of Horseshoes"

[abhijeet1goyal]

I get my horseshoooes

[reactorcr]

i love tennesse

[kadycakez]

Damn I am so obsessed with this song. It's wonderful! Ahh, rememeber when music USED to be GOOD?

[marqcoig]

@kadycakez i do. and i miss it. dearly. maybe its an age thing, but i feel like in the early 90s, music was unpredictable. the top hits weren't all the same "kind" of the same thing...you had Snoop Dogg and Arrested Development, you had Nirvana and Blues Traveler, you had Boys II Men and TLC. some i liked, some i didn't, but i fealt like i had real options. most, not all, but most of the shit i heard today is very similar to the song played before it. not all of its bad, but less of it is good.

[GoodSydeBill]

@marqcoig its not an age thing ,im 14 years old and i know the radio stations that play music suck 99% of the time.

[kadycakez]

@marqcoig Yeah I'm only 16 but I still can enjoy GOOD music. I love 90s and 80s music. I would rather listen to that rather than some Lil Wayne BS. Oh how I wish I lived in the 90s haha

[jctalker]

sphere of hiphop's website is proof that real music is alive and tickin'... we've just been under your rocks so long or been too scared to see what's really out there...

[msnywoman23]

why cant people stop selling out and make good music and tell these record company's (who are puppets for the elite and trying to push their agenda on people such as homosexuality, promiscuity, sex, killings etc) to fck themselves. we need good music with uplifting lyrics and cool beats. not cool beats to distract us from the subliminal messages the degrading negative lyrics. cmon people we to do better as a whole. no matter what ethnicity but more so african americans. c'mon son

[turner03122]

@msnywoman23 Independent all the way...make their music, not what record company's are willing to push. Plus side an artist isn't restrained in creativity...downside properly won't make millions. I still think is worth it...Hip Hop in particular is dying for an artist to break the cycle. Hope it happens soon.

[msnywoman23]

these are throwbacks. this group was cool

[rdejaa1]

Lord let me understand your plan!

[keymusic100]

yo nice song, very good group for that moment.i expected so much more,what happen.

[poeun]

Back in '92 I could listen to this, and NWA. There were so many one-spectrum-to-the-next good songs out there. A lot of YOUNG talent. A decade later, I'm appreciating this type even more, still have an Ice Cube verse in my head. These songs were all in the mainstream. So we can accurately compare them to today in mainstream. It's not just a new age, hip-hop mainstream is directed at a very small mindset of people who don't know any different. Well here it is. And there are so many more. 90s > U.

[bayareaEntrepreneur]

a game of horrrse shooooooooes! love it!

[illone1981]

[garyn1953]

a younger Dione Farris ....... I spent my summers in My Mom's home town of Asheville, N.C. ... rite next to Tenn. ....... I remember the billboards on (then Rte. 40 now I-40) that said 'welcome to klan country'. I remember having to sit in the balcony of the movie theater. I remember having to go in the back entrance. I remember My Friends stepping off of the sidewalk to let the white folks go by.

I remember ... don't U forget :-l

[turbokitty222]

Arrested Development ! I don't even know what it means, but I luv it!



[123nondi123]

Still love this sound out of TN! Just great!

[TheRealMewPuddingGal]

That one lady is the least charismatic rappers Ive ever heard

[pieroglyphic]

How can anyone dislike something so poetic, intellectual, and positively moving.. three people either missed the like button or were looking for "weezy" songs.

[Jacquelyn104]

Images at the end...real shit!

[ButterNani]

Is that Dionne Farris?? WOW i love it!!

[1JTBAKER]

@ButterNani Yes!

[Bassbonejoe]

wy cant rap still be like this, It's so positive like it should be



[MsFIRSTLADY35]

@Bassbonejoe You said a mouthful then!!! I don't even listen to this stuff now!

[mintall1]

GO VOLS WOOT WOOT

[jawneblaize]

Waaay too positive to have had any lasting commercial success.  Music influences peoples' behavior too much. Proliferation of positivity the likes of this threatens the established power structure and will always be snuffed out!

We will forever be fed a steady diet of violence, consumerism and low level thinking.

[callmeDJQ]

I can't find dis song nowhea!!!! I have bad lcuk with music sometymes...

[msmelody1960]

droping knowledge on your asses

[TheHawkdaddy]

HORSHOOOOOOOES

[MrStopmotionmaster1]

GrEaT sOnG!

[darkodasefx]

DAMN, BEST VIDEO IN '93 DIRECTED BY MILCHO MANCHEVSKI!!

[schoond2002]

love this

[360Alberta]

Reminds me of the long bus trip to Odgen utah!

[MrTeshie]

This was an absolutely powerful group for good. The below lyrics from "T..N" really speak to me. We need another group like them to carry the positivity. Common can't do it all by himself.

"I ask you lord why you enlightened me

Without the enlightment of all my folks

He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth

And he was there to quench my thirst

......................But I am still thirsty..."

[LEGSUDESIRE]

I said..Tennessee

[Wickedthtz]

2:55 um......why kids are on the roof? i know they was scared

[hosjek]

goosebumps.....

[LizzoDynasty]

I so miss that 90's swagg.

[Jassamyn619]

a game of horseshoes i miss songs like this this brings back good memories i wasnt even born yet i would rather listen to old skool than the stuff that comes on today

[dubblesc]

I bet Tennessee is damn hot, like this track was back in '92

[Nijeta1]

I loved this stuff when it first came out. I always ed wondered what happened to them ,

[cloberrie77]

[familygurl2008]

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC

[ladyjay1976]

I miss my home of Mississippi,,, this is why when I cannot get there....I listen to all of these songs........

[pathduck]

LIFE MUSIC!

[BibsyP]

What happened to these guys?

[scarlados]

peace old school ... nostalgia

[harlemw651]

Damn, I miss those days...cross colors, braided hair, african pendants, a greater sense of community...

I was only born in '86 but I swear, by the time '89 hit I was already a slave to the hip-hop culture.

*pours out liquor*

here's to the good old days!

[Hollyossosaypay]

THis music, brings out the nostalgia, of when I was young, and music moved through my limbs, and it was true rap music

[TheReggaetonMami]

@Hollyossosaypay

well said 

[chalatenango234]

african hip hop...great beats

[duceduce55]

real hip hop..not i'm going to kill you and bring you back and kill you again

[inachu]

EDITED?????? why?

its so gay to edit a song. it ruins the artistic free speech ability granted to americans. makes this song as bad as clear channel.

[flipone01]

I will forever love this song, and i am not being sarcastic, but I always wondered. Why did God guide them to Tennessee? Isn't that where the KKK started? just curious. I always thought maybe they guided them there to avenge the deaths of their ancestors or something.

[yurei8]

Not to avenge the deaths, but to honor the lives of our ancestor. It's an ages old African tradition. While each new generation advances, it also loses something from the past. Like if you go back to the 1930's, you would find we had farms, as well as a wealth of businesses. And we supported our own community businesses, just like other ethnic groups.

[flipone01]

Thanks for dropping the knowledge.

[ketheking]

Well Speech Grew up in Ripley, TN so it was only right for him to rep Tennessee lol and of course my birthplace.....

[DreaminEyezEnt]

Life Music!

[ontherealyourgay]

Straight RAW!

[cusil518]

Always a classic! Still awesome group...love it!

[lordkromdar]

dont forget 3rd bass, slick rick,rass kass, kool keith, the pharcyde. the list goes on and on.those were the golden ages of hip hop. man i miss the 90's

[mysteryman605]

I'am from the ole school hip-hop generation. Arrested Development, Public Enemy, and Sista soulja were among the few groups who raise our political conscience as to what was going on in the black community. Sadly, these groups for there efforts to speak-out about the ills in the black community were often met with opposition. The classic example was Public Enemy's, " 911 is a joke ! " A rap about the response time for police, and ambulances in the hood. I respect them for their views & truths

[febiyour]

don't  forget krs 1

[656harnish]
