We received the following video from Mr. Dex, and it was just too fun to pass up. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Kid N Play’s House Party, he has put together a compilation of some of the great party videos of that time, all put together. Check it and have some fun tonight!
Where has the time gone?!?!?! March 9th 1990 Kid n’ Play introduced the world to a frequent party scene that is seldom seen in this day and age – the HOUSE PARTY. A session where dress codes weren’t an issue, but you still came looking (and smelling) your freshest. Drinks were on tap, the DJ’s were king, people danced(!) and there were vibes aplenty until the music faded or you couldn’t handle anymore. Set to a back drop New Jack Swing and Hip-Hop the film set the perfect balance of the Coca-Cola 80s with the colourful tones and carefree essense of the 90’s.
Due to the impact this film had on me in my youth I felt compelled to celebrate the occasion with a video tribute celebrating the music of that year (plus a few earlier cuts) with a few skits thrown in for good measure.
