Freestyle dance music, 95% Asians/Filipino's listened to it?1985-89 In my neck of the woods people was into FreeStyle Dance Joints, you know:Lisa LisaCover GirlsMONETTrinereDebbie DebShannonExpose???Judy TorresStevie BCynthiaJohhny OTolgaMKGTKABut what I noticed mostly was that Asian Americans and Filipino???s was really into that type of music, and 95% of them wanted to or did DJ???? I???m pretty sure it was like that in LA, SF, San Diego??? Was it like that in other places? Did you where your hair up with lots of hair spray? Did you peg your pants? Did you where a turtleneck shirt under your button up shirt? Did you where 2 types of Polo shirts so the collar would be a different color??? Just wondering if Freestyle Dance music was rockin near your crib? And what was Your Favorite cut?

Can I just say that I totally hate the Black Eyed Peas for desecrating Lisa Lisa's classic hook? "Don't phunk with my ears," plaese.
"FREESTYLE ALL NIGHT LONG, SAY WHAT? FREESTYLE ALL NIGHT LONG, SAY WHAT? FREESTYLE ALL NIGHT LONG!"
I approve of this thread.
Shannon, LET THE MUSIC PLAY.
finally, an appopriate place for this pic! Wait, is that really you?
That tie is tight.
SONIC
Cover Girls had one good song, and it was when the good looking singer was in the group. Shit, it was a good song too.
ASIAN FILIPINO BITE THE LATINO???
That's the high standard Glenn Miyashiro aims for each and every day he wakes up with a smile on his face and no less than $10,000 in his wallet. Big Tymers my ace!
More like the other way around if you consider how the Spaniards got to the ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the islands? And infiltrate the ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh place?
Dudes, it is a Latin thing. The genre is 'Latin Freestyle.'
no doubt, I think Mango is trying to say:
Monet? Expos??? L'Trimm? Obviously dudes it's a French thing.
There we go. I didn't think this was a Latin vs. Filipino battle over who created the genre. Speaking of which, are there any Filipino versions of Taylor Dayne's "Tell It To My Heart"?
Interesting, I did talk with heads in the bronx most def a latin thing over their and Florida, & wasn't a lot of the freestyle singers producers latino's, right... Shoot I'm not even 100% Asian, I'm Japanesse/Turkish/Peruvian,It's cool to see how it was pending where you lived, good example of product of your enviroment... Still nobody could mess with Lydia Lee Love "the kickin live remix" mixed with Pam Russo! Now that's some classic ish like Steaphine's Get Away....
Also, it's amazing what people on here will freely admit to diggin. Whenever I post trades I try to go safe, but I should just post some of the most unplayable shit and watch the PMs fly. Anyone need to complete their Sound Of New York discography?
Lisa Lisa was cool though
Also, anyone need this?
he's not far from the goal.
faves are "shed a tear" & "good things come to those who wait"
That's dat shit right there. Don't front!!!! Cats from the 80's know.... Don't leave out "The Word is Out" by Jermaine Stewart though! The hype!!!
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
"The Word is Out" by Jermaine Stewart though! The hype!!!
Fo Sho! That was about the time as Free World by Jesse Johnson I think... Though Free World wasn't very freestyle... What about we don't have to take our cloths off! Sure shot fo sho also...
