OT: Who here loved the New Jack Swing era?


The theme song for ILC for season 1-3 reminded me of that era. I think it was the best time for music in the early 90s. But I wish that one brave artist would bring back the good times. (I know that won't happen though!)

The sad part is those are lost times. 87-93 introduced an entirely new genre in hip hop and r&b. Sadly the trash that floods the radio waves these days takes precedence over the real stuff.

Don't see how anybody couldn't love the New Jack Swing era. Guy, New Edition/BBD, R Kelly, SWV, Shai, etc. Miss the high-top fade days...

New Jack Swing was the truth. Keith Sweat, Jod Watley, Tody, LeVert, Peebles.

Can the music lovers here help me out?

Does anyone know the artist or song that plays during the skit "Foundation for Golf Heritage"? It's the one where Tommy & David play golf dressed a bit like RUN DMC.

I've tried to piece together the lyrics to search, but it's almost impossible to hear over the laugh track! Help!

I loved that era... and I loved the clothes I know right?

reply

Yea that was my favorite era, I especially loved the clothes, it was homage to late thirties roaring twenties!!! I miss Coda, I miss Oaktree, I remember sadly the end of that era, it was replaced by the new trand of labor wear. YUCK!!! But whoever said those house parties werent violent has another thing coming, as I remember we had to get to parties before a certain time where either the cops shut em down or they got shot up.

reply

CODA, JW, and Oak Tree! i remember those clothing stores. i used to shop there all the time, especially buy their cheap knock off colognes. but yeah, i miss that era of the nineties. great music, great fashiion, all around good times.

I just spent about 20 minutes trying to do the same thing but no such luck yet!

I grew up during the NJS Era and it will always be my favorite era. Music just sucks these days. I feel sorry for the kids growing up now.
