Junior - "Mama Used To Say" video

Posted on December 7, 2006 9:49 AM

Now is indeed the time for you youngsters to strive. In 1982 this meant reaching 21 without getting shanked and avoiding that new AIDS shit. This week's throwback is a personal favorite of mine. Junior's classic "Mama Used To Say" [watch above] still makes me dance in my socks. That's right. I will take off my shoes and do that fuckin El DeBarge slide all over the room.

Loosely translated, my mama used to say... "Dinho, go get that damn switch." and "I'mma whip your ass. You think you're so damn funny." Ah, I love that bitch.

With the quiet elegance of Eddie Murphy in "Bowfinger," Junior does an excellent job of personifying a geeky black dude from the 70s. In typical "What's Happenin' [Now]" fashion he navigates his way through a pretty fuckin excellent video for 1982. Can't even front.

Much like we were able to do with Jeffrey Daniel of Shalamar, below is Junior's "Top of the Pops" performance of "Mama Used To Say."

aaaaaannnnnnd Lester Freamon wants his Bill Cosby Collection shit back.

If you don't know nothin about this, get up on it. This is why we do you this favor of Thursdays.

    that's a 10 point post... just for knowing his last name!

    lowe... if you don't know what truth is talkin about, you need to get your on-demand on.

    as suggested, next week's monday madness will be dedicated to "the wire." so hold your horses, negroes!

  • Mexx, I got the On-Demnad poppin', I 've seen the episode,but I could've sworn it was the other dude in Marlo's crew that popped Bodie when Chris & Snoop were distracting his ass and remember Chris told Marlo Mike use to work for Bodie so it wouldn't be a good idea for him to be the one...ahh well that just means I got to watch it again, which is never a problem.
