LL Cool J - Around the Way Girl | REACTION!! BANGERR!🔥🔥🔥

[@lindawhite2634]

We had so much fun back then, good clean fun,trying to see who could out dance , we just wanted to dance, skate , go to mall, go to the clubs. It was all that...

[@lindawhite2634]

@Ms. B Right and we would dance together. Now a days you see the guys on one side dancing and on the other side the girls are dancing instead of dancing together , they don't dance let alone slow dance. It just weird. This generation is so violent now. I personally don't think they know how to have good clean fun and truly be themselves.....

[@lindawhite2634]

Right, this generation, they don't know nothing about love and kindness and that's sad. Well heck from what I am seeing they don't seem to have love for one another or for anything else. The young kings and queens need to know they matter., it is so sad that nobody is teaching them their worth and that there is more to life.All we can do is pray....

[@Wariotime-23o]

Well, this is the golden era of hip-hop

[@Wariotime-23o]

@@lindawhite2634 exactly. Like people criticizing music genres, disrespecting others opinions. And I say this as someone who is very young

[@xsper.x]

I'm 14 but like my a lot of people say I act like a old man since I listen to lots of old school music since its the best and I the way I think is very like old people and very wise and yea I agree a lot of people these days dont appreciate well done music, nor care for another. Thats why I sit back and let the world do its thing while i listen to my music make my music and appreciate God and Family

[@jancw]

Lord, I miss the 90's! Good music. Good vibes. The phone rang and you were excited to see who it was. Now it rings and you're like... who died?

[@IENetworkTV]

WOW U ARE SO RIGHT

[@Pinky-gy2dm]

I wish I could go back!

[@Petitema75]

💯🎯

[@stryfetc1471]

It's cool to see a young guy, embracing my era!👍🏾✌🏾

[@lawlaw1]

1990- the start of the greatest decade ever. Good vibes for 10 years cuz Especially at 19 years old living in NYC

[@MorrisB1971]

1980s was even bettter

[@Wonderwoman79G]

Check out Mama said knock you out,Loungin, Hey lover feat Boyz 2 Men

[@PheLaReux]

I was in high school when this came out and I was an Around The Way B-Girl for sure! Wore the clothing, talked the talk and loved to dance. I'm glad that aesthetic is starting to be appreciated again because I've never been the type that wore lots of make-up or was a 'bad b***h'; just #regularblackgirlpretty!!!

[@a-bd1216]

Doing it and doing it well, LL Cool J, Al B Sure Night and Day.

[@mushmouth610]

Yes! Al B. Sure. I totally forgot about him!! That whole album was good! About to listen to Killing Me Softly right now!

[@robyn3976]

I was in college when this was released. My classmate used to imitate the girls in the video. She was hilarious. This jam has been on my playlist for years. I will always treasure the memories.

[@ebonystar6915]

Bruh i'm 37 and i'm FOREVER jealous of not experiencing this vibe!! my whole style screams "around the way girl" 😂 its what i'm known for! i mean i was around but i was only 5 when this came out 😩. i always say i should have been a teenager or young adult in that era man, the vibes was Immaculate!

[@anthonyanderson9303]

Same here I was like 8 when thus came out but had older cousins that put me on game with this

[@rb7007]

I was 23! Best time ever!! 😎😄 The 80s were great too!

[@ebonystar6915]

@@rb7007 Im JEALOUS!! i know you had the BEST time!! Even in the 80's. Those were the decades where you just HAD TO BE THERE to really know how it was.

[@ebonystar6915]

@@anthonyanderson9303 i grew up listening to these jams! i have a whole lot of musical exposure, i just still wish i was a teenager back then lol.

[@Pinky-gy2dm]

I was sixteen when this came out. Great memories!

[@camm8642]

I was only 4 when it came out but I was around and definitely remember hearing it in the years immediately after

[@amanteapasionado6836]

LL is the only rapper who was successful in every era of hip hop. When he first come out 1985, so he made it thru the 80s, 90s, and 00s, who else can say that. Plus his music is timeless, this song could drop right now and it would be a hit, he'd have to make a more current video but the song would still be a hit. He got heat from all era's, no other rapper can say that.

[@mikem591]

Gen X knew how to get down! :)

[@lelle1068]

STILL DO

[@lovelylicious7618]

Knew you would like it Shawny 🥰🥰🥰😉 If like "Round the way girl" You would probably like LL Cool J's "Loungin" Feat Total "Doing It" "Paradise" Feat Amerie "Hey Lover Feat Boys to men "Jiggilin Baby" "Love U Better" These are all LL Cool J classics 🔈🔈🔈🔈💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@randywitherspoon4591]

Im 49 and this was the music in the days for me.

[@brmc5381]

This song sampled "All Night Long" by the Mary Jane Girls, another classic ❤

[@caycecm02]

We danced hard in the 90s! The dancer in the gold sleeveless top is Big Les. She’s the dancer in the opening of the tv show Living Single and she is a choreographer. She helped choreograph Michael Jackson’s Remember The Time and was also a dancer in the video.

Jealous…your generation should be. envious. I don’t think we will be as nostalgic listening to todays music 30 years from now sad to say.

Young Buck its Nice to see young folks going back & appreciating the classics of Hip-hop. However know this , Music is Timeless. You don't have to wish you were there in the 90s , Good Music transcends time . Motown and the Temptations are one of my All Time Fav groups and their music came out before I was born. I still listen to it everyday.

[@ayoooo1922]

One of my faves! I remember when this dropped! A song for us regular, round the way girls 🖤

Brah you right. It was a vibe. These was awesome times. And this was Killin it in the summertime.

Yo’ this was the ish back then. Honestly “Pink Cookies in a Plastic Bag Getting Crushed by Buildings is my favorite” However Boomin’ System was tight as well. Loungin” is whole vibe!!! Just take a look at his catalog. It’s amazing 🤩 Thank you for this memory!!

[@tao4999]

You nailed it. Back then most of the music united people at a party or at the club. Females were in a good mood & smiling & it was contagious for the males & vice versa. Just wanted to be around happy people to escape the outside world & the most popular radio music, like this jam, supported & encouraged enjoying other people.

[@skvarea5788]

This song right here, with my graffiti overall and Calvin Klein boxes takes me back to when I was 17 and my mother would say 'Why can't you Dress more lady like when you leave the house!!'.CHRIST!
