OAKTOWN 357 STRAIGHT AT YOU VIDEO

[DANADRIAjones]

My mom over here jaming

[brandon98188]

I forgot this song exsisted until I heard a couple of months ago. these new rap songs arent fun nowadays. It's just Nicki Minaj rapping like she got tourettes syndrome or crazy.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

hands down the best dancers in the rap game.

[tincredible]

Does anyone else think that MC Hammer's female proteges had the coolest names. All their named rhymed: Lil P, Terrible T, Sweet LD , B Angie B.

[xman8511]

Oaktown 357 should be reconized in the Hip Hop Hall of Fall Real Talk

[kiwi70177]

[dantecael]

[cmills7]

@musiclover77able

Yes those 3 daffy bitches couldn't rap or dance their way out of a paper bag. Couldn't stand their asses. They were terrible. Only reason SuperSonic blew up was because of the beat. I saw them on a where are they now special and they were talking about making a comeback. I was like hoes please! Keep your day jobs. NOBODY is checkin for your asses! LOL!

[TrueX7]

Damn they were fine.

[rokhamdagamer81]

[neepl8]

Even all after I learned and performed all their moves back then, still to this day it just comes back naturally. 3-5-7 forever!

[GrantHill]

Damn these chicks were bad. They could rap, dance and were fine as hell.

[jksfive]

[stlsalonzo06]

[MPATRICK310]

This was my jam on BET back in the day. Takes me back.

[bluesuitbrutha]

1:09...nuff said!

[05Cinco05]

That's what I thought they were saying...but people insist that they were dissing Salt N Peppa and Roxanne Shante...but the diss was directed to JJ Fad...

[suhaylas]

@05Cinco05 You are so right! Thank you for setting the record straight. This is Sweet L.D. and I am a little slow in responding to comments I can't keep up right now but I hope to be better at it. Have a great day and thank you again!

[Brinah]

I used to play the hell out of this song when I was younger! lol

[sstar032003]

This used to be my jam!!! I haven't seen this in a while

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Mines too. I was playing the cassette yesterday and I still love it.

[stlsalonzo06]

[mycollection08]

I've been introducing my teenage family members to 357 and they went crazy over this video. They asked me how come rappers today don't dance?

i had no answe fo them.

they loved the roger rabbit secion. they've started mixing it in with the jerk...it looks dope

[suhaylas]

@mycollection08 Okay when they learn the dance and have it down they have to teach me! LOL~ have a good one~ Sweet L.D.!

[cmills7]

JJ Fad was weak as hell OakTown 357 smoked their asses. JJ Fad non rapping asses please. R U Serious?!

[biasdad]

[suhaylas]

We, me and Tabatha are grateful for all of our fans. Join us on Facebook under Oaktown's 3.5.7. I just set up a page. However I am new to facebook and it is still a little plain. But join us. We are trying to get the hang of all this "social networking" stuff...

Chat w/you later Sweet L.D.

aka Suhayla Sabir formerly known as Djuana Johnican~ Peace!

[clevawoman]

lawd...I dressed just like that.

some leggings and a belt...ya body had to be tight.

[Recowest]

I remember when they shot this video in Detroit back in 1989 -90. They were in town for a show at JLA a long tome ago.

[brookelynnnnz]

lIKE BIGGIE SMALLS SAID , EVEN IF UR MC HAMMER AND THOSE 357 BITCHES

[cmills7]

Thanks for posting this! I've been looking for this forever! Love Oaktown"s 357;no one could touch them.

[riderguy30]

No one could touch them when it came to dancing. As far as songs are concerened Salt n Pepa had them beat like crazy. They had the nerve to diss Salt n Pepa in this song....Are they crazy!?!?!?!?

[suhaylas]

this was all done in fun! that was part of rap, so there was no real issue w/Salt n Pepa!

Sweet L.D.

[riderguy30]

Oh ok. After all these years I never knew that. And if this is the real Sweet L.D. I'd like to say that even though your dances looked hard as hell, they were fun trying to learn. Especially in the video for we like it (get loose)

[suhaylas]

yes it is the real Sweet L.D. LOL...take care

[cmills7]

No, They weren't crazy. They went just that hard and the weren't afraid to call anyone out. However, Love me some Salt n Pepa and I agree they had the dope songs! They are pioneers in the game. They were the real success story they brought class to the game and their lyrical skills were crazy . But, you can't deny 357 was the shit and all the girls wish they had their moves and they also had good songs. They made their mark on the industry as well. Love OakTown's 357 and Salt n Pepa!

[shylosworld78]

hell yeah! they were the shit back in the early 90's, even when they were dancing backup for hammer. i would like to know what they're doing nowadays.

[suhaylas]

@shylosworld78 Hi There! We, me~Sweet L.D. and Terrible T are doing well. I am in Texas and Tabatha is in Arizona. Check out my Thank you video under I think Sweet L.D. or Suhayla Sabir ( I have changed my name), it should sort of bring u up to date...thank you in the mean time for the love!!! peace and blessings ~ Sweet L.D. aka Suhayla Sabir

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

They didn't diss Salt-N-Pepa. The line goes

Step off and give respect

Salt-N-Pepa will put you in check

And Shante will come your way

Dis your girl hard and say

Have a nice day.

They were telling the haters to show them respect or Salt-N-Pepa and Roxanne will put you them in check.

[boriquacub76]

Thats correct because JJ Fad dissed Salt N'Pepa and Roxanne Shante as well as several other ladies on "Anotha Ho"

[BloodBoxing]

@boriquacub76 roxanne shante destroyed jj fad

[boriquacub76]

@BloodBoxing yeap!

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

@boriquacub76 That's probably y they became 1 hit wonders

[NotyNoty]

LOL. It was a diss to snp AND Roxanne Shante. You're using the worng "will". They said "we'll" as in they will do those things to them. They were dissing many female rappers. I mean, just listen to the song, they're dissing the whole time. They admitted to this. Said it wasnt anything serious,, just doing what rappers did back then.

[Ieaton1961]

Thanks for the clarity. I thought they were saying "Salt-N-Pepa, we'll put you in check."

[mrberryv]

@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA Oh! All these years, I thought they were saying "Salt-N-Pepa, WE'LL put you in check/ And Shante, WE'LL run you way ... ." Thanks so much for clearing that up.

[callumbrowns]

I WILL MISS THIS HIP HOP FOREVER LOL.

[socomkingII]

Loved 357 they were bangin shit,and I gotta friend that looks like sweet pea..haha bust it ladies!!

[choloxl32]

357 BUST IT. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

[AdorzAaliyahSince94]

I used to know a girl that looked just like Terrible T! She was a friend of mine's older sister. Hey, Shygem, please, take the embedded code off and remove tags so YT won't take these vids down the next time they do some maintenance.

[loslucciono]

357 Was killin JJ Fad!! Truthfully, Couln't no female group dance like em.. Thier Pioneers for females trying 2 Dance n Rap. OakTown Stand Up!!!!!!!!!!

[cmills7]

Thank You! JJ Fad was wack as hell!

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Thank you. I'm from New York, and I'm a huge fan of this group. They need to be honored for their contributions to music. They were one of the first female groups to emerge from the West Coast and they had great delivery and dance moves.

[suhaylas]

@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA ~~~Alright then! Thank you so much for your love!!! lovehugsandpeace~Sweet L.D.

[ScienceProjek]

@loslucciono What?!... Look at this music video, What dances are they doing that's so great?, they look goofy like Finesse &Synquis. Plus they have those cheesy westcoast accents.

[MrAlex3132003]

@loslucciono 'THEY'RE' PIONEERS CUZZO.

[yurhyghness]

they outfits is still fly not tacky like some of that 90's shit they had real style you can wear that today and still have it going on

[ze4byz]

I LOVE 357! THIS SONG STILL HOT

[NotyNoty]

lol, they still dissed them. it was all in the name of the game back then.

[premiereone]

I loved Terrible T's hair in when she wore it this way. Love this!

[shygem29]

Me to I got my hair cut like this

[LBoogie7903]

@premiereone Wasn't this hairstyle called Stacks or Stacked or something like that. I had my hair cut like this too. I had the long back though, I would wear my stacks mostly curled under and sometimes flipped up. I love how Sweet LD wore her hair too.

I can't find any pictures online of this style.

[THROWEDTEXASDIVA]

i promise when i was a teen i thought i was the lost 3-5-7 member..had lots of outfits like them and could surely do the moves...still can..lol

[Michelle82677]

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

@LADYS3RIOUS It was released in the late summer of 1989

[kedsmith1975]
