«Flashback« Skee-Lo – I Wish

i heard that prom night is the bomb night, with a hood-rat you can hold tight

♫ Skee-Lo – I Wish / 1995

I wish I could tell you that the only inspiration for this weeks flashback was nostalgia. Alas, thanks to Buddyhead, I now know that Skee-Lo is back with a new album for 2010 and not content to just let “I Wish” chill with it’s bad self he has gone and made a rap-rock remix. No bueno. Anyway, recent misguided efforts aside, “I Wish” is still the best rap anthem for the vertically challenged of the 90s. Pretty funny observational lyrics too, with all the curse words swapped for something your grandma might say instead. I wonder is Skee-Lo ever scored raked in mad tail during his 15 minutes or if his self deprecation worked against him. Can we get a Behind The Music, ASAP?
