KP & Envyi

When homegirl said, “Shorty swing my way,” was she referencing a male shorty, or a female shorty? There is clearly some ambiguity here. At any rate, we dug in the vaults for this one, so please enjoy. And yes that is a very young Polow da Don.

Shout out to all cute girls with short cuts.

    All I can hear right now is the sound of hoodrats saying “Heyyyyyyyyyyyy” and stampeding feet headed to the dancefloor.

    Man I miss the south and the late 90′s

    Good question! I was wondering the same thing…oh, and what’s your gravie name about?

  • Sydney™

    @me (the original)

    “I think you might be right, and I have to say we’re probably better off for it.”

    LOL! I didn’t know they didn’t play this song outside of the South. Have you heard of “Return of the Mack?” That was another song by a one-hit performer that played on the radio ad nauseam. And Blackstreet’s “No Diggity”. . .

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re (Gambit in 16 Days!)

    @Sydney

    No diggity makes me want to slap somebody, I hate that damn song…

    @K-Mia

    LOL, it’s okay. They’re nice…no homo…

  • SOUR GRAPES

    I remember that bullshyt azz song… I came to the ATL straight from NJ, and they was rocking that shyt in clubs, I was like what the fuk…. but them chicks was bouncing that sweet fat country azz to that shyt, and it didnt bother me no more… I miss thoese late 90′s ATL days at the clubs on Memorial Dr.

    Hey Re!!!!!!

  • jb_1030 (Has her DVR set to record Cougar starring Vivica Fox )

    I wish a shawty would swing my way, a midget will do just fine

  • jb_1030 (Has her DVR set to record Cougar starring Vivica Fox )

    I am fine, just wishing the sun was shining. It is really April showers going on down this way. You know how the DMV can get.

  • Sydney™

    @Re

    LOL, yeah, I hated No Diggity, too. . .I couldn’t go to a party where it wasn’t played. I would automatically leave the dance floor, lol.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re (Gambit in 16 Days!)

    @jb_1030

    Girl! It’s depressing…I’ve had an interesting week thus far, but this rain isn’t helping at all…

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re (Gambit in 16 Days!)

    @Sydney™

    Lol, ugh! What a terrible song…but I miss boy bands, they were so much fun. You know what I really hated?

    “Thiiiis is hoooow we doooo iiiit!!!!!!”

    Keith Sweat makes me REALLY cause destruction.

  • jb_1030 (Has her DVR set to record Cougar starring Vivica Fox )

    @ Re

    Well you only have 15 days and a wake up and it is on!!!

  • High Life (1 up)

    They went way back with this one I used to love this song.

  • Sydney™

    LMAO @ Re

    Wait, that wasn’t Keith Sweat. . .That was, uh, what’s his name?

  • Roe ski Love – The checks in the mail

    @re Your still #1 on this site- your smile is quite lovely. Why did the Col. Stinkmeaner retire from this site

  • Roe ski Love – The checks in the mail

    @Sydney @ Re This is how we do it–Montell Jordan

  • Sydney™

    I miss boy bands, too — I remember Dru Hill, too (Sleeping in my Bed).

    And I think there were more girl groups, too — I loved No Scrubs. :)

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re (Gambit in 16 Days!)

    @loving life and Sydney

    My bad, I was adding that Kieth Sweat makes me want to scream.

    And good question, where IS montell jordan? Not that I miss him….

  • Sydney™

    @Roe ski Love

    Thanks! LOL! Yup, Montell Jordan. Man, they played the song around the clock. . .

  • Sydney™

    I haven’t heard a peep about Montell Jordan in years. . .

    I remember when Donnell Jones (another one-hit wonder) had that remix song with Left Eye (U Know What’s Up), and I bought the single because I would jump whenever it came on the radio. And, lo and behold, the single was the original version without her rap. I was so mad, lol.

    I miss Left Eye. I liked her rap on the Ladies Night song, too. :(

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re (Gambit in 16 Days!)

    I used to sing No Scrubs at the top of my lungs, like I knew what I was talking about. I was only 11….

  • Sydney™

    @Re

    “I used to sing No Scrubs at the top of my lungs, like I knew what I was talking about. I was only 11….”

    LMAO! Girl, I knew the words by heart. I remember hearing it at a party one night, and my friends and I all sung it in unison, and I can remember the not-so-pleased looks on some nearby guys’ faces. I loved some TLC, lol. :)

  • jgurrl

    lol!!!! my n my cousins used to hate this shit!! so bad

  • Sydney™

    @Re

    I think some guys released a song in response to No Scrubs — it was “No Chickens” or something like that, lol.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re (Gambit in 16 Days!)

    @Roe ski Love
    Wow! Lol @ you and your fraudulent activities! No, I started reading sometime last summer…but I learned to multi-task quite well.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re (Gambit in 16 Days!)

    @Sydney™

    LMAO!!!!!! I can…

  • Roe ski Love – The checks in the mail

    @Re your # 1 because of that smile and your comments give an expression of your personality. You can actually tell some things about some people based on the comments that they post. (not including the humorous ones) they say something about a person also. I.E. I enjoy Kigali’s rants, but on the other hand she should not be so angry and indignant about the post. She should maybe try humor as another weapon in her arsenal. You on the other hand use both means to get your point accross. And you don’t take this post to serious.

  • 17nluvinit

    l,ao at polow da don!!!!!!!!!!

  • drewzee23

    @ Sydney

    Check out Montell Jordon “Let it Rain” CD. It took some time, but that heffa grew on me. That’s from a true R & B cat. Be cool.

  • me (the original)® (This is why we can’t have nice things!!!)

    @Re

    LOL it doesn’t really mean anything. I just remember my mother saying that when I was little and I’d break something.

    Oh man you all have me going back with the songs!! Return of the Mack..Mark Morrison, I loved that song. He was British, he had more success there with his music. I remember when I was staying in London, this dude I was dating hated him. I didn’t understand why, he was ugly as sin.

    Keith Sweat…you know, I liked a couple of his songs but his voice made me cringe. I especially hated his singing in the song Nobody. It was like listening to the long, drawn out death of Donald the Duck.

    Montell Jordan did another song with Bone Thugs N Harmony that was pretty good..Falling.

    Donell Jones, I actually bought his album LOL. I liked “U Know What’s Up”, “Shorty (excuse me Southerners, Shawty..don’t get mad! LOL) Got Her Eye On Me” and “Where I Wanna Be.”

    I remember No Pigeons too, LOL. That song was corny as hell, LMAO.

  • me (the original)® (This is why we can’t have nice things!!!)

    I wonder if Case’s new album will be any good. I absolutely love love love “Missing You.”

  • mzc2u

    This used to be my shit, ironically the female that is rapping name is Khia, but not my neck my back Khia, i always wondered if the chick singing was White, mixed or What, what do yall think?? And her dancing was funny, lol…..

  • What the…

    Too young to really remember who they were, but old enough to remember I hated this song. wait did they sing At Night I think of You? Cause I did like “that” song for some odd reason.

  • sharylynette

    Polow fine

  • me (the original)® (This is why we can’t have nice things!!!)

    LOL My Boo. That’s the At Night I Think Of You song, but I don’t think that was them.

  • Shaneen

    This use to be one of my favorite songs back in the day.

  • Ermy Erm is Disillusioned with Society

    omg i remember this song. dont remember the words though only the hook. lol

    LMAO @ Re and her Keith Sweat comment

  • jai.E

    AAHHH!!!!

    This song is the sample from “Brooklyn Girls” by Charles Hamilton!

    I KNEW I heard it somewhere before! :D

  • @jb_1030

  • MIZJULIE

    Damn this one brought back memories. This came out during the days when Atlanta was actually a quiet as kept secret to the rest of the world. Women (and fellas) was flocking here from as far as LA, NY, Boston and Detroit to come to Freaknik. Damn the good ole days tsk tsk tsk…..well I guess we still have the Freaknik like traffic every morning and afternoon only it’s without random females flashing their tatas.

    I know that song as well and I’m from Holland (Amsterdam). It was a small hit here back in the 90′s, when r&b wasn’t as popular as it is now and we only had a two-hour show with soul and r&b a week on Dutch television. Brings back gooood memories…

    The Song reached the UK – so it wasn’t just the south!
