    OMG! I remember Whodini came up to my HS which was in Brooklyn. All of the girls were screaming for them, I did not say anything. They were being chased by their fans. And Drew stopped and ask me my name, he said that I was cute. My friends just stood there in shock. All I said was that he is very cute. This all happened in the 80s when they were at the top of all the charts. It was a pleasure knowing them then. Boy, I love the 80s..

      vonzzil s its not about that. its really about what the industry wants to push. if someone came out today with a song like this and the industry pushed it, it would have millions of views

    The most encouraging Hip Hop artist from the good ol days and still is to this day. Sadly it's not in this society now.
