If you were ever alive and in a sporting mood in the 90s, you surely remember Jock Jams! They were a series of compilation albums that was sure to pump the crowd at any basketball game of the era. We’re talking about Eurodance and party hip-hop, where the club meets the arena.
Five volumes were released between 1995 and 1999, in addition to an “All-Star” edition in 2001. They ran out of steam…
Anyway, someone brought up SisQó as part of this whole Kendrick/Drake thing (Drake fucking wishes), and it reminded me of this perfect performance. The horse! KOOL MOE DEE! Dru Hill! Surprise Stevie Wonder at the end! The pageantry! The showmanship! The Janet Jackson reference! The fucking purple suit!
DJ’s relax, kneecaps collapse,
My rap perhaps is like a booby trap.
Polo the big boar, I’m the warrior of metaphor;
Fully equipped manipulating my competitor.
