    The truth always, always comes to light. Even if it’s 20 years later. So happy for you. Keep doing your thing queen.
  • Man I’m from the is era. I’m from New York and I was in high school when this dropped, you really don’t understand how HUGE this song and dance was unless you were there lol this dance sparked the whole Get Light movement..that style of dance literally influenced most modern day dancers (even if they don’t know it lol). People like Chris Brown would get most of his dance ideas from the Harlem kids of the time. Man…CryBaby, Swiss, Webstar, Breakfast Club…etc. they were a MOVEMENT! Glad to see they are getting their flowers!

    I grew up in Harlem. This song came out when I was in high school. There was not a block you couldn't walk or drive down and would not hear this song. Seeing people I grew up with in the Chicken Noodle Soup video makes me so proud to be from Harlem. We were definitely  ahead of our time as teens.
