I 'wan play, too!
U No U an 80s child if....
1. You thought Press Your Luck was the BEST game show on TV ("Big Bucks, No Whammies!!")
2. Your family was too poor to own a VCR, so you used a regular tape recorder and held it to the TV and told everyone else in the room "Shut up, I'm taping". Plus you had to pay real close attention to the video portion so on playback you could memorize and improvise what was going on to choreograph the sounds and dialogue. *DL Hughley mode* Don't act like I'm the only one who has ever done this. I used to tape the Three Stooges every afternoon on TBS after school via this method--and still have those tapes--with me in the background ROTFLMNBAO and reading the credits to boot.
3. You remember the premiere ep of Yo! MTV Raps (aired Aug. 6, 1988 hosted by Run DMC) and all the videos that was played:
Eric B. & Rakim: Follow the Leader
Doug E. Fresh: Keep Risin' To the Top
Run DMC: Mary Mary
DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince: Parents Just Don't Understand
J.J. Fad: Supersonic
Fat Boys featuring Chubby Checker: The Twist
Beastie Boys: Hold it Now....Hit It.
L.L Cool J: Goin' Back to Cali
Boogie Down Productions: My Philosophy
4. You remember Rap City when it was hosted by "Mayor" Chris Thomas and had the graffiti-like logo.
5. You wore gazelles or just non-prescription eyeglasses cause it made you look cool.
6. You thought Troop! gear (jeans, jackets, etc.) was the bomb until you found out Troop was owned by the KKK.
More stuff later
