pass the popcorn

today's title: pass the popcorn

the 90's were a glorious time. the nba was at an all-time high for global appeal, hip-hop was reaching a high mark creatively, more black sitcoms were being made, and def comedy jam birthed some of our favorite stars we enjoy today. however, not all was pleasant during this time. with any era, you will have the good, the bad, and the corny.

today i present to you: the 3 corniest niggas of the 90's (r&b edition)....and a bonus.

3. tevin jermod campbell

tevin campbell can sing. can we talk is one of my favorite songs ever. however, did you really believe he was singing to the women? ...i didn't then, and i don't now. remember when he sang to ashley on the fresh prince, i wasn't buying it and i was only 5 at the time. AND, i was right. first, let me explain something. as a child growing up in a very sheltered christian household, i didn't know what gay was. my parents called it an "alternative lifestyle". but i knew something wasn't right with tevin campbell, prince, carl winslow, and a host of other ppl...so it came as no surprise when i found out tevin got arrested for soliciting oral sex to an undercover male cop in '99....c'mon buddy © chappelle

2. mark althavean andrews aka. sisqo

sisqo....where do u start? if women were in question of tevin campbell, sisqo came under heavy scrutiny from jump. i never understood the appeal of him as an artist. short man, does a lot of flips, platinum hair, no taco meat chest hair...i just didn't get it. i thought it was lame. although he gets props for the thong song video, i'm still not believing it. it seemed forced. (i know the thong song came out in '01, but dru hill's first album was in '96). if i were a gay man, how would i get people off my back to not think i'm gay....thus the thong song. look at the video, he's not even with the girls. he's doing flips on the beach, and dance routines like an 8th grade cheerleader. i guarantee if he came out and said he was a homosexual, he'd have a better career. people are tired of the lies sisqo, come out the closet.

1. p

in the 80's, he was a musical genius. from dirty mind to the batman soundtrack, he had hits. parade is my favorite p album ever. however, in the 90's he lost the hits, and lost his damn mind. aside from diamonds & pearls, sexy mf, and most beautiful girl, he was puttin out garbage. and this is coming from a p fan....thus the name bob george. running around with "slave" on his face, growing that pedophile beard, changing his name to a symbol...this was clearly a nigga going through some changes. p was having a mid-life crisis. i love p; however, during the 90's, he was effin nuts. did anyone other than me hear the carmen electra album?

and now for the bonus, the absolute coolest nigga of the 90's.

they showed re-runs and new episodes on saturday morning @ 11am. whatever problem i had in my life, i forgot about while watching him. if i was hungry, sick, or hurt...didn't matter. he was the man.
