2. Wreckx-N-Effect - Rump Shaker
On Thanksgiving, I posted a Throwback Thursday from 1996 for a song by BLACKstreet featuring Dr. Dre called "No Diggity". It starts with Dre's verse wherein he refers to "BLACKstreet and Teddy, the original Rump Shakers". And that's because Teddy Riley, the driving force behind BLACKstreet was also in Wreckx-N-Effect, whose biggest hit was the above video: "Rump Shaker".
You may ALSO remember the chorus from the song I played for Throwback Thursday 2008 (9/5/13), M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" where the "Boom Boom Boom"s were replaced with gunshots and the "Zoom Zoom"s were replaced with cash register sounds.
Just to hit the song truly out of the park, the verse that Teddy raps (I believe he comes second. He says his name in the first line) was written by a young Pharrell Williams who was on Throwback Thursday 2003 (10/10/13) for his song featuring Jay-Z called "Frontin'"
So this song is like the Rosetta Stone for Throwback Thursday on this blog. Click the Throwback Thursday tag at the bottom of this post to see ALL of the songs featured so far!
