New Jack Swing

NJS is seriously the best music for a club/house party for me and my peer group.  I can at least make that general statement, as opposed to a huge sweeping statement that goes beyond that.  You know old white guys and death metal kids won't be getting down to Teddy Riley in the same way (though you might be surprised sometimes!), but for my peer group, this shit is the best.

The shit is just perfect to dance to, sing along to, and just let your shit go (not literally.  well, if you got a radio in the bathroom, I ain't trynna hold you back.).  The beat got that bump and that bounce, the lyrics are relatable and melodious, and the dances are hella energetic without being on some Nordic Track bs. 

I know, you either love it or you don't care what I'm talking about right now.  I just love it.  Gets me in a good mood.  I suppose it just fits in that perfect window where the music that is out and popular when you're a certain age really sticks with you.  NJS hit that window for me.  Seriously, back then, folks was dancing and just having fun with it.  There were a bunch of dance moves hittin all the time and it was cool to be out on the dance floor.  Just a few years later, folks ain't into dancin no more.  I mean, I know nowadays, hella folks are peepin dance shows and checkin routines and blahzay blah, but it ain't really that many times that you gonna walk into a club like Usher and just hit routines all night.  NJS is perfect for going out and just moving and enjoying yourself and letting go without that preconditions of this or that, but then you also got hella different dance moves.  Some might look goofy nowadays, but they're hella perfect for the time and music, and they ridiculously fun to act a fool with. 

I'm sort of rambling, and I know it.  Maybe you should just watch THIS instead and see what I mean.  It's a damn PARTY up in there!!  Amongst me and my friends, and my peer group, I don't know no other music that can get the party moving and people happy like New Jack Swing.  I mean, Golden Era Hip-Hop is numero uno with me, but even I can recognize that just not everyone falls in line with that when I'm out.  The ladies is just not as into it as much, just by numbers.  I mean, there are definitely some 'heads that are female, but by and large the females ain't hanging with it as much when some Black Moon or BCC or Cell Dwellas come on; they just aren't.  But you play THIS and it's ON.

Another thing is that at that time a bunch of folks was coming out with mad different steezes.  It just added on to the creative atmosphere and it was really appreciated; people were trying to be cooler than cool but it was also okay to be kinda out there.  PLUS, and I know you'll love this Niko, you could still rock your pompadour you had been sporting from when you were partying to Freestyle shit.  But that's another story for another day, hahaha!

[Note: I know that this entry wasn't as edited and proper as other previous entries, but I just felt like getting that out there.  If I sound less educated this time around, consider it as if you now have more of a glimpse as to what I sound like when I'm talking, hahahha!]
