Hip Hop Hooray

Two posts in one day!? You've gotta be kidding me. Heard this song today, brought me back and figured I'd make it Music Video of the Day.
Little back story on this song. You couldn't throw a stone in 1993 without hitting a radio playing this song. Seriously, think of a hip hop hook that was more memorable than "Heeyy...hoooo...heeyy...hooo". That's right, you can't. Problem is, it got over used and it took me 15 years to like it again (you read that right--it's been 15 years).
True story about Naughty by Nature: it was because of their self titled record that my parents became aware of the parental advisory lable that was on "inappropriate" albums. You see, I was over at a relative's house in 1992 or so when the nameless relative warned my parents about this "noise pollution". Isn't that fucking great?! For the next seven year or so, I wasn't allowed to purchase music that had cussing (which led to me ripping the sticker off several Beastie Boy CDs over the next few years). Good thing I didn't have a copy of "The Chronic" when I was 11--I might have joined a street gang--oh yeah, that's right, I lived in suburbia (we don't have gangs--and this was long before it became en vogue to shoot your classmates). Really? Can't buy a CD with swear words? Thanks Mom and Dad. Instead I grow up to write angry blog entries. Nice trade off. Anyhow, I'm getting punchy, here's Naughty By Nature's "Hip Hop Hooray"...
