Even though many minds were on Prince’s death, the MC made certain that all those that hip-hop culture has lost were remembered. Kool Moe Dee challenged the crowd with hip-hop trivia by rapping out the line to a classic track, and the H-town crowd never got stumped, shouting back the lyrics with ease. It makes you wonder if these guys are actually the gentle lovers they claim to be in their songs. One of them threw a dozen roses into the crowd, red petals flying above the outstretched hands in the first ten rows. The trio was pitch-perfect as they moved around the large and mostly empty stage. Color Me Badd, whose current incarnation consists of only three members. But he really got the party started for the rest of the night when 15 ladies were pulled out of the crowd and up onstage to dance with him to “Wild Thing." They looked like the Fly Girls from In Living Color, just pumping, gyrating, thrusting and dropping low, all to the howls of the fans cheering them on.Īll-4-One had some pitch problems and distorted sound, but what they had in sound problems they made up for with their choreography, which included signing their biggest hit, “I Swear.” They also made mention that they had held the same lineup throughout their entire career, possibly throwing shade toward the other R&B group performing after them.
The 50-year-old was pulling for the Rockets, too, as he paced the stage in his red Clutch City T-shirt stating his disdain for Golden State. Tone-Loc still sounds like he has a frog in his throat, and came out while the sun was still out and fans were slowly filing into their seats. This kept the party escalating until the headlining queens came out to rock The Woodlands. What is awesome about these types of nostalgia shows is that the groups only get a short time to play, and the sound checks between sets were less than five minutes. The eight groups on this tour stop all played in a bit less than four hours. Although the '90s gave the tour its title, almost half the crews onstage spanned into the previous decade, which only allowed for more hits to be crammed in before curfew.
Dubbed "I Love the '90s," this hip-hop/R&B package tour brought so many familiar hits to the Woodlands Pavilion, it was like watching the live version of Yo! MTV Raps with Fab Five Freddy. Last Friday night, the need for nostalgia was high and everyone was primed to have a great time because the week's rain and flooding was hopefully also in the past. With Salt N Pepa feat Spinderella, Rob Base, Kid 'n Play, Kool Moe Dee, Color Me Badd, All-4-One, Tone-Loc & Young MC
