Tha Alkaholiks: Make Room From 21 & Over (Loud, 1993)
My first exposure to the 'Liks was at some cheesy attendance required rally at my high school the year this came out. Actually, maybe it was on King T's album, but that's not the point. The point is that the step squad (your school had one, right?) did a routine to this song, the fly girls with the braids were looking right, and my freshman ass was like, what is this? I went straight out and bought the tape.
Fast forward four years, and I had literaly worn the cassete out, thanks in part to the_front and the rest of the freshman dorm peanut gallery's insistance that 21 and Over be in constant rotation in the '85 Chevy Celebrity Station Wagon (RIP). So I've graduated to a CD copy (and vinyl, thank you very much), and this still knocks. Gets the party started for sure. Just remember next time you see me drop this at the spot that in the back of my mind I'm seeing a scene a la Bring it On (note to aspiring movie execs: when's the step squad version of this going to surface?) in my head, thinking back to rocking this on the JVC boombox. Word.
