Flashback Friday: Kid ‘n Play

This video is one to get hyped to when you want to take a trip back to the early 90s. Everyone remembers Tisha Campbell and Martin Lawrence before they became big and it was because of these two rappers with the House Party movies of the late 80s and early 90s. Christopher “Kid” Reid and Christopher “Play” Martin gave us an era of what was called “happy rap” and it was fun while it lasted just to have a good time listening to music and jamming. Enjoy “Ain’t Gon Hurt Nobody” from their 1991 album Face the Nation.

Britney Spears To Kick Off MTV VMAs!

Take me higher lord! As previously posted, Britney Spears will indeed kick off the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday and here’s what she had to say!

“MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs?” Britney said in a statement to MTV. “I’m excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated.”

Can you believe that, despite her sixteen past nominations, she has never won a VMA? This year Brit-Brit is up for Video of the Year, Best Pop Video and Best Female Video for her single “Piece of Me.”

We all remember her disastrous performance of “Gimme More” at last year’s VMAs, and on that note Britney will not open this year’s show with a performance. Read more
