365 Questions--June 1
A song from your childhood
Welcome back everybody! I'm so excited to be back and writing again. My grandmother is doing much better. Thanks for all your prayers. I really really appreciate it.
I'm so excited for the June posts. June is African-American music month. Music is like my most favorite thing ever. I'm so glad I get to share my taste in music with y'all. And just a side note: no, all of these songs will not be gospel songs. In fact most of them won't be. What I may do is answer the question twice, once with a secular song and once with a gospel song, but that is under the assumption that the question can apply to a gospel song.
Okay so answering this question for both the secular portion and the gospel portion is going to be really hard. I'm a 90's baby, and my daddy was a DJ back in the day.
So for the gospel portion, I'm going to have to choose "Do You Want a Resolution." Of course, I would choose a Kirk Franklin song. Kirk Franklin was everything in the 90s. I really used to think that he was my person hype man. Honestly when I read this question, 2 songs came in my head "Stomp" and "Do You Want a Resolution." I remember being like 7 years old and getting my entire existence to Kirk Franklin.
I picked this specific song for a couple reasons. For one, I love this song. It screams 90's. Y'all remember when Kirk Franklin was on Sister, Sister and they sung this song? That was my show. I remember being a kid and feeling like it was kind of okay to be in church as much as I was because of that episode. However, I also understood what Jordan was going through. Great episode 👍 Here's a clip
And because I love NotKarltonBanks I had to include it. Y'all seen this?
Now when it comes to the secular song....this one is going to be really hard. I'm a 90's baby, but my teenage years were in the early 2000's. Both of these decades were full of epic music, like the snap era and the crunk era. That was all before I graduated from high school. I think I'm going to pick a 2000's song for this one.
And the winner is.....Alright. Wait. Before I pick. It's a tie between 2 songs. I'm stuck because the songs are so different. But the winners are............"Busted" by The Isley Brothers and "Work It" by Missy Elliot. Both are these are CLASSIC. Let either one of these come on and I'm singing at the top of my lungs, and I'm singing all the parts of Busted. My daddy is a big R. Kelly and Isley Brothers fan. We used to sing this song together all the time when I was a kid. I swear it took like 2 days for me to learn the words.
Now...I was 9 or 10 when "Work It" came out. I had just moved back to Augusta from Germany, and I had fallen in love with music all over again. As raunchy as that song is, I knew all the words. It was nothing new content wise. This was when I was really being exposed to the sexual nature of the era. But hey. It is what it is.
