I think I remember this song lol I was in preschool/kindergarten in the early 90s, but I remember them :) all I do is click on random videos LOL, and the memories come flooding back!
correct me if im wrong but didnt this group have a 3rd cd released? it was this one, Butterflies, and then one later in the decade no? i could have sworn i heard a kind of club song from them...anyone have info?
OMG I love this song. Reminds me of a girl I use to talk to in college back at SHSU in Huntsville. I think of her everytime I hear this song. So to Marlo who used to live in Parkhill dorm during the fall semester of 90, I dedicate this song to you and I hope you are doing well. There are times I wish could have gone another way but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'll always remember you. Marcus
Damn! I haven't heard this since 1990 in da "Bay Area." Memories of myself as a young "PInoy" w/ a "Fade or Flat-Top" & a tail, not mullets, turtle neck sweaters w/ a 2 or 3 button sweater vest, & posin' 4 pics w/ my hands 2gether tilted 2 the side, or the old serious thinking pose, the hand under my chin look. Mackin' to the fly girls from elementary 2 middle school, my puppy love days until I moved to L.A. in 1992. Thx 4 posting this. I gots mad memories!
ok, im looking for another song by Special Generation entitled "Another Place", it was on this album. Can anyone help me find it? if so, in box me or email me at ceedamaster@yahoo.com with Another Place in the subject line....Thanx All!!!
@songcandid Every time the subject of dating or relationships comes up to a girl/woman no matter what background, she mentions her man "has to have money". The singer Ciara said Monday on 106 & Park she wants a man to spend money on her (basicly). She tried to justify it by saying "she's old fashioned", as they all do. But of course, they preach "being independent" and want a man's money. This is why they don't get respect they seek. No man can respect a 'gold digger'.
@MystroMusicMan hmm...very true (just wondering) do you speak from experience? There are some that don't want and/or need a man who's stacked but the ones who do usually depended on others since childhood
@songcandid To an extent, I speak from experience. I've taken a girl on a date. I don't mind that. Then, they start asking for more and more.. then, get upset when I don't give in. I've never met or seen a girl who didn't want a man for money or didn't want to control him while she does what she wants, or deny him sex but demands his money instead. They all pretty much do the same.
damn the memories almost made me shoot myself... hhahahahaha meaning, the past was so gr8 and my current life sux ass and i wish more than anything to b back @ that time.. kathy was my gf in high school.. and i thought she was gonna b my wife.. hahaha.. it was 1991 damn.. good jam no matter.. thx 4 sharin it!!
I used to be good friends with a couple of these guys in high school,kendrick was my neighbor,and i went to school and played football with chip,he was an undersized but good cornerback. Go Spartans!!
Boy do i remember this song. this was when mc hammer had his defunked record company Bustit records. I believe this was the group's only hit but it was one of my favorite joints back in the day.
Special Generation sang back up on Hammer songs, and then he decided to put them out on their own. They are actually planning a reunion album this year for online distribution only - they never did anything after 1993.
Hey guys...this was one of my favorite songs/video back in the day...you all are the BOMB...your fans are waiting to hear a new album from you...hope you guys are going back into the studio soon!...we would love to hear some real music again...maybe I can walk into the music store one day and see you brothers on the shelves...but before I go I do want to give my special shout out to Mr. Washington KEEP IT SEXY!!...
OMG!!!this is one of my favorite songs. for the one that said the one of these guys was in the group TROOP. That's incorrect none of these guys were in troop. Maquet, Kendrick, Maurice, Charlie, and Chip were all originals of SG. I know i still got that BET special they were on some where at the house. I still remember that dance routines. If anyone has Butterflies off their second album please put it on here also Take it to the floor the title song off their first album.
Look closely. One of the backround singers looks IDENTICAL to the 2nd lead singer of the group *Troop*... I'm almost positive he was in this group for a quick stint. Because his tiny part sounds exactly like the Troop singer.
wow, i have this song on a casette back when i was in 1st grade, and even then i knew it was a fricken classic. took me at least 10 years later to figure out who sang it.
i didn't even know they have a video for this song, props for the video upload!
I remember this song. Loved it back then, and still lovin' it! This is what REAL music is about. These guys could/can really sing.
...Don't their look almost reminds ya of Hi-Five?! Espically the guy w/ the half gumby (remember that cartoon? Gumby! LOL) hair cut. Whatever happened to them?
omg . this made me cry and fast. this was the time of real music real emotion in what people did for our entertainment. no egos no lites and bullshit nude asses. this is real music wow
Girl I hear you, I wanted to cry myself, I was 12 year old when this came old in 1990, I remember when my baby brother was born back then, I miss the 90's, I will cherish the 80's and 90's the rest of my life until I'm a old lady lol, Hey I'm 30 will be 31 this July lol, I will be telling my grandkids about the good ole 90's, SOOO Many Memories :)
You all hear that, you all see that. Real singing, real dancing. A storyline to the song! (J on a holiday and T Pain in the u know what)go do your homework on how to make a lost her and now I'm gonna get her back song!
I have been looking for them for a while. I met the group while I was college in 1992. They were the sweetest guys. I always wondered what ever became of them. Especially Kendrick. We becamse friends but lost touch after I left college.
Your Wack Youngster, You have to be very young to call this wack. Your just mad Because you Have Trash for Music ROFL. Special Generation was one of the best Groups Out in the 90's.
Man I totally forgot about this song... as well as the hi top fades and the lead singers "gumby" hair style! lol! I remember them singing on MC Hammer's Have You Seen Her.
These boys are the shiznit. Kendrick has the coldest voice i have ever heard. Their harmony is nothing like I have heard in a long time. I was 13 when this came out and i just knew me and Maquet Robinson were gonna et together and have some pretty babies. I wish they hurry up with some new music.
the lead singer of this group should be bronzed somewhere in a trophy case- I never heard nobody moan through the whole beggining of a song like he did "The right one" off their 2nd album- absolutely incredible vocals on that one man.
OMG What a small world lol I met them in 93 or 94 at the galleria also, I can't remember which year lol, I was about 16 or 17. VERY VERY SMall world lol
I went to school with them at Lakewood High School. They were called Parie back in the day. I was in a singing group called Kazmair and we use to practice in the studio together.
