I introduced my nephew (6) to 80s hiphop. He likes breakdancing and rapping to wordless beats on youtube. He also doesn’t know modern rappers are saying words to him it’s just noise and the occasional word. I thought 80s hip hop is way better to dance to and rap to. And he was really into it! (I found a youtube compilation) unfortunately/fortunately he can understand what rappers are saying and they aren’t always age appropriate. The songs don’t have to be extremely clean but I had to turn a song off when the guy was being very detailed about how he was getting with a girl

Uploaded again with the complete video AND in color. The outfits in this video deserve to be seen in all of their glorious colors. Plus this song pumps and should be listened to multiple times.

cold going mad over here…

Ok... so this isn't a HipHop question, but I know I have the right audience!

Be forewarned: I am NOT going to get this right.

However, I am seeking help to find the name of the band that had a slow song with lyrics that went something like...

"I got something to say; my love is coming down in a special way... just for one touch of your sweet lovely ways; you make me want to holler when you touch me there."

The chorus went something like, "Girl, I'd do it over and over again..."

There was an idiosyncratic spot midway through the song when the tempo went from slow to a fast, upbeat tempo... and then abruptly slowed down into a slow song again.

I wish I could (also) remember the name of the song; A.I. keeps telling me it's Switch or Marvin Gaye... or a few of the 90's-era bands. But it was definitely an 80's hit; maybe a one-hit wonder, but I loved that sweet-sounding falsetto that the lead singer crooned with!
