Remember the 80's?
Poem by Jae Collins

listen up, while I take it back to when drum-machines and synthesizers were the sh-- and everybody's hair cuts were wack
Are you ready cause this ain't no Granny rap
This is a SideWayz Daze going way back, back with Kojac and 8 tracks
I gonna take you on a journey to back when Grand Master Flash and the Message was where its at
I remember nasty ass Zima drinks and the B-Boy movie Beat Street, Beasty Boys and RunDMC
I remember when Lords crew and TWB were doing bad ass burners across the street. And remember all the cop shows on TV?
Magnum PI and Miami Vice.
Sledge Hammer had a wild ass look in his eye
I felt let down by my parents every time I heard The Doves Cry
When I used to cover my eyes when we were watching Fright Night
I remember MaxHeadroom,Looneytoons,Head Bangers Ball and Romper Room.
I remember JohnnyCarson and the theme from 21 Jump Street
When Old Batman was on TV
Red Foxx, Alf and ICET
I was a lil' kids watching everybody drinking Crazy Horse at the beach.
I remember being scared of Poltergiest
Remember The 89' Earth Quake and the Facts of Life.Public Enemy and
Fight the Power?
I remember when all the fine girls had feathered hair,YO MTV Raps was and Care Bears
What happend to Transformers and Skelator?
I remember the Christmas we got Legend of Zelda
and the East Berlin hand over.What happened to Deborah Harry and Ministry?
I even used to watch Mystery on KQED
If you think Im done yet come test me
Where's that lil pimp Spuds Mckenzie,64 oz's of Old E
Remember Bruce Springstien and Bon Jovi?
Forget him what's up with lil Kelly Bundy
I remember Lite Brite and Ninja Turtles gummies
Don't laugh cause it ain't that funny
I remember rowdy Bikers and Dusted knifers
Who remembers those big ass cordless phones and ET phone Home?
Addidas and Pumas always over Nike
I liked Total Recall and Aliens.
Terminator and Short Circuit should of been friends
In the days of Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong I was Slip and Sliding down the lawn What about Atari and Beta?
Too Short was an East O Player
I miss Punky Brewster and Traci Lords.
Fighting in the alley 'cause we were bored
Staying up to watch Elvira cause you could tell she was a dirty whore
I remember Roaches in the Cherrios the Hamburgler and GI Joes
I didn't like TAB soda or Crystal clear Cola
Stepping on Tonka trucks and Wooden Blocks,Legos and Linclon Logs
Burned out houses and Crack rocks
NWA made shit crack like a hijacked crane
Who remembers when Ronald Regan wasin the White House and fucking the people out of our savings?
Ruined our budget and was selling Heroin to fund the Contras?
American trained murderers in El Salvador,
Disappearing the any one suspected of opposing the fascist regime.
And what about when the CIA was friends with Saddam Hussien?
When we lost Marines and terrorists blew up the Scottish plane.
I used to watch the Fall Guy,Tales from the DarkSide
What do you know about Kurtis Blow and the Breaks?
White Lines and Kunta Kinte?
Roots was a series that kept America shocked
I remember Bill and Ted, and falling on a racing Diamond Back and
hurting my head
That year I stole some weed from my dad, rolled it in a bible page and took it to the head.
I remember Joe Montana and BO Jackson and when American still loved OJ Simpson.
And Joey Ramon didn't wanna be buried in a Pet Cemetary.
What about Johnny Rotten and Sid Viscious?
John Gotti got convicted and Joey Buttafucko set up Amy Fisher.
And what about Mumia Abu Jamal,they said he killed a cop but it was to defame a radio host. And
then when the Feds set up the Black DC Mayor.
Where is Joe Camel and the Marlboro
Man did they die young,from malignant growths?
Who knows.
What about Alisa Milano on who's the boss.
20 years later she's still my boss.
Who wants funk on Lazer Tag?
I dont wanta brag but I'll cap yo ass.
What happened to Punk Rock, is it dead and gone?
Wheres Suicidal Tendencies,The Circle Jerks and Iggy Pop
They all did the movie Repo Man's songs
I remember MoHawks, Gothic chicks and Pop Rocks
And when the Go Go's sadomized a Cop
Who knows this song?
If you do sing along, "Money for Nothing,Thats the ways you do it."
Wheres the Space Man saying "I want my MTV?"
And what happened to Richard Pryor wasn't funny
Wrong combination of ingredients and temperature that almost cost his life
Glam Rock is out of a job and the audience gives applause
Where's Kool Moe Dee and Fab 5 Freddy
Fred SanFord Eddie Murphy?
Will Smith said "Parents just dont understand." Wheres all those fools with Rhine Stone Hands?
I remember Smoking stress and INXS, all those nasty sandwiches with Wonder Bread
I remember the Cosby show and my wife Lisa Bonet
Wheres Degrassi High and what happened to Iran Contra?
And ICE T and buying joints dipped in PCP
I miss Delorians and 80's Graffitti
Ferari Testerosa and Gargamel
And who knows how to transplant a brain?
Maybe the 80'swere just too insane
Richard Pryor Burned off his face and Run got ordained
Marvin Gaye and Cobra Commander
Apple Computer and Princess Dianna....
