Wow I thought Zapp was very world when I was a child. And the truth is that the brothers and friends were some good brilliant people! I just wish that the two brothers went and talked to their mother about their financial problems.
It's amazing how "Computer Love" forsehadowed the future. Who thought in 1985 that people would one day romance one another through a computer screen?
Online dating is so popular that they even have commercials adverising it.
ugh at 4:40 this chattering idiot Barry benson is a serious buzz kill, dude is deadass explaining the song to us like we dont know the meaning of the song. ur seriously giving us the synopsis of a song that is clear in it's message? smh. he almost ruined it for me but "computer love" is sitll my favorite song of all time.
The narrator stated that Roger had never married, but I'm remembering that one of the mothers of his children mentioned that she was once married to him.
if many rappers did what the troutmans did the hood would be a lot better but in stead they spend their money on meaningless items wayne's retarded ass would never do shxt lyke that
This group was indeed a great loss to us all. They have stolen so much from our beautiful Black musicians, who (gave) freely and innocently but who were taken from seductively, strategically and ruthlessly. And ultimately corrupted. What has been the TRUE price have (we) paid... for all this illusionary American fame? Black people... the few who are left... need to be thinkin about that question.
Anytime you see Snoop dancing to Old School Music, He gets respect from me. I cracked up when I saw Snoop dancing to "Hole In The Wall". Respect Snoop!!!
You'll do'nt know what Roger and Zapp was like, in the world, but I was there, I was a kid, but I was there, I remember first time people and myself heard this sound of Roger and Zapp. THUMBS UP FROM ME! To the 3rd power!
Rap and hip hop is the dumbing down of black music fans. You don't need to learn how to play a musical instrument anymore. Just rap and get arrested. Wow we got Snoop Dog today, how wonderful.
@DEEP177 Its so funny but now even Snoop seems more respectable than most rappers today! No one could tell you that like 15 years ago! Its just getting worst!
That's great how the rebuilt their community and gave those in the community work and work skills. All these balling ass rappers these days will buy a million dollar diamond before helping their people. Pretty sad. RIP Roger. THis is a fantastic documentary.Thanks for the post.
@tknockerson YEAH AND RAPPERS WOULD RATHER BUY 1.5 MILLION BUGGATTI THAN HELP BLACKS LEARN SOMETHING AND BE MORE PRODUCTIVE IN THERE LIFE BESIDES SELLING DRUGS AND SHOOTING AT EACHOTHER IT STARTS WITH US AS A BLACK RACE
I love it. Black entreperneurs doing there thang, and giving back. I never knew this about the Troutmans. Good to here.
