Taking a slightly different approach with this edition of Freddy's Friday Night Dance Party, I thought it would be cool to introduce you to the man behind this week's tight tune. This is a cat that truly walks the walk, a dude that garners respect, but does so with a positive attitude and all while wearing black leather boots, paired up with a matching black leather trench. Get ready to pop that collar kids, 'cause it's time to meet, the one, the only, CHILLY-D!
Nothing quite says hip-hop like the Renegade Snake Eater, Lorenzo Lamas. His moves and style out on the street are very impressive, but little boot maneuvers and random references to European fashion are nothing compared to what The Lamas is able to do when he's on stage. So, without any further ado, I present Chilly-D performing, Do You Know Who I Am!
Written and performed by the husband and wife musical super duo, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson (as Ashford & Simpson), Do You Know Who I Am is taken from 1984's Body Rock. Directed by Marcelo Epstein, Body Rock is yet another entry into the Hip-Hopsploitation genre and is filled with break dancing, graffiti, and of course, rap skillz. Much of this magic was provided, or was made to appear provided, by the great Lorenzo Lamas, which should really tell you everything you need to know. This would mark the first time that a movie featured on Freddy's Friday Night Dance Party is one that I have not actually seen, but I couldn't sit on these clips any longer then I already have…they are pure gold. The skeleton dance scene is magnificent with its glow-in-the-dark neon colors and slow-mo Nunchaku moves thanks to Chilly-D. However, it does get me a little teary eyed as I wonder whatever happened to dj Skele-tone.
Absolutely ri-donkulous. That second video is like a nightmare that I had. This dance party is bananas, son! Where's all the white women at???
ReplyDeleteAnd there's probably dozens more you haven't seen that look just as bad. Which is how these things usually go in the 'sploitation genre.
ReplyDeleteYet I find myself swaying my hips...
Brrr! It's cold in here. There must be some Chilly D in the dance party atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, thanks for starting this Friday off right!
Body Rock!! LMAO!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt. That's just what I needed to see right now. Is Chilly D the guy that does the theme song for Aqua Tenn Hunger Force or is that Schooly D? What's with all these guys taking the letter D? No one wants to out on a ledge and snatch up the letter L? Poor letter L.
Aaron: Was that a nightmare, or the greatest dream EVA!!! Oh, and all the girls are always in Lamas' room...he is the RENEGADE!
ReplyDeleteAshlee: How can you not?! Lamas has that way over women, whether or not they want it! There really are a lot of awful/amazing movies like this. I thought I have seen a lot, but I am constantly finding out about new ones!
Emily: "Don't worry baby...Chilly-D can warm you right back up!"
Geof: The D must stand for DOPE! There was a rapper named Big L once, but he got killed, so maybe the letter Q needs a turn!
