This memorable 90s tune, by Positive K, will go down in urban music history for one reason, and one reason alone, and that is for giving men a licence to harass! Before this song came out, a woman always had the excuse ‘I got a man’, if she wasn’t interested in someone’s advances.
In fact ‘I got a man’ could mean anything from ‘You’re ugly, I don’t fancy you’, ‘Oh my God, your breath stinks, get away from me’, to… ‘I do actually have a man.’ The beauty of that line is that it was effective and inoffensive and it almost always got women out of an uncomfortable situation.

Jodeci recently made their way back onto the music scene via the song and video Knockin’ Your Heels Off, a collaboration with fellow 90s s r&b group H Town. While the song isn’t bad per se, the video has had the Internet a buzz due to the deteriorated appearance of the group, most especially Jodeci’s former resident pretty boy Mr Dalvin. Imisstheoldschool.com are surprised people are…err… surprised about his form as this is not the first time we have had a look at how the past years have treated Jodeci. Their UK show a couple of years ago, coupled with less than flattering pictures, which have been circulating the net from time, already gave us that idea.

Stacy Ann Ferguson, aka Fergie, is a member of the hit hip-pop group the Black Eyed Peas. She joined the group, which originally formed in 1995 (and had already released two albums), in 2003 to add a bit of a twist. And she certainly did that. Previously, the band featuring Will.i.am, Alp. De. Alp and Taboo, were critically acclaimed, but weren’t exactly on any top-selling artists lists.
When I was growing up in the 1980s a lot of the TV shows aimed at young people used real life animals as characters, to appeal to us. Black Beauty, Lassie, Gentle Ben, Woof, Benji, Zak and the Alien Prince… The list is endless. However the one that always stands out to me is… Yep. The Littlest Hobo!
