Throwback: Freak Nasty - Da Dip

Posted on October 1, 2007

When I watch videos like this and reminisce, I get a little hope in my heart for today’s youth.

Because when I shake my head at all the “Crank Dat” dances/videos/songs and wonder why something so inane is so popular, it reminds me of how we (my friends/cousins and I) were at that age. I distinctly remember that while stuck in the “kids’ room” at my mom’s PhD graduation party, a bunch of us kids were crowded around a small television putting “my hand upon your hip, when you dip, I dip, we dip“.

And I think of how we look back on the foolishness (fondly, of course) and say to ourselves, “Wow, did we really like that s#it?” I think (I hope) that one day, it will be their turn to wonder why “Yule!” was so important to them and to reminisce on those good carefree times.

Anyway, enough of all of that sentimental, hope-filled drivel.

Here’s “Da Dip” by Freak Nasty.
