I remember when: Dawes & all

January 23, 2008

I remember when…

We rocked Karl Kani and Big Bubble coats
The Brown Eastland Moccasins that they called boats

Girls sucked Pickles Now&Laters in the Middle
Wore the Bright Cross Colurs lookin like skittles

Every drug dealer had a beeper on their side
R Kelly and the Public Announcement made Vibe

Had to catch the bus…nobody had a ride
Every Family reunion: The electric Slide

Cabbage patch dolls were the tops in the 80’s
90’s they went ape shit over Beanie Babies

3rd Bass and Vanilla Ice tried to rhyme
The World Trade Center blew up the first time

Fanny Packs? People wore with short sets
Girls: The Polly pocket toys and Gigapets

Martin @8 Livin Single 8:30
Those weird ass bug-eyed scary ass Furbys

Nobody said Condoms they were called Rubbers
Damn…Lauren Velez New York Undercover

Bobby Brown said Don’t be cruel to his Ronis
Favorite part of clueless “Rollin with the homies”

Girls: Neon scrunchies sports bra and overalls
Saggin jeans showin the top of Boxer draws

Biz Markie came out with “Just a Friend”
Those Crown Car Fresheners that were “Made by the Klan”

Jodeci? All the women wanted Devante
Boomerang Marcus Graham sprayin on some Strangé

People wore Carhart and ish that came from Cali
Boyz n Da Hood Ricky died runnin in the Alley

Cell phones came out them shits were like a grand
You were the man gettin in girls pants with your hands

All I wanted was Dominique Dawes

Shiddd I still do, but I remember it all.

doggone perpetrating “drug dealers” carrying around garage door openers instead of pagers. smh

Except for the fanny pack part, I think all this happened when I was in about the eighth grade…I remember public announcement and pagers and someone once told me I look like DD, but I think it was because I’m black…news flash, not all blk ppl look the same…

PS- I’m feeling the music n your pg…

lol@ beautifulgyrlJ you ain’t never lied about Malik Yoba lips that use to irk me. I wanted to just reach inside the T.v scream and slap some lip moisturizer on those bad boys.

I thought Devante was so cute and K.ci looked like a grimling 🙁

I loved Martin and Living single back in the day

Please don’t remind me about Van Winkle lol

People still do the electric slide at family reunions that dance just keeps going and going like the energizer battery.

Thanks for the trip 🙂
