Kickin It Old Skool
by T. Semakula
The eighties. Blue
Adidas with fat white laces, Gazelles, and furry white Kangols. Members Only
jackets and painted on Sergio Valente. Crack was roaming the hood like a
crooked cop, taking out aunties, friends, and mamas. Hip Hop gave birth to a
new canon that spit out stars such as Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh, and Special K.
Nowadays, the eighties
are considered Old Skool. The folk that used to rule this decade have faded
like the memory of Rodney King being slapped with the police batons. Let’s face
it, before he died, the late Micheal Jackson was looking for a sponsor, Prince
pushed past fifty, and sweet little Rudy, from the Cosby Show, kicked off her
old persona, and portrayed a cracked out hooker in one of Tyler Perry’s
blockbusters.
