Skee-Lo "Top of the Stairs"
Uploaded by: BVMUndergroundHipHop
Video Description:
Skee-Lo was an anomaly in the rap world of the '90s: instead of spinning violent gangsta tales or extolling the virtues of marijuana, Skee's songs were profanity-free, good-time stories with a self-deprecating sense of humor. Skee-Lo was born in Poughkeepsie, NY, and moved to Riverside, CA, at age nine. He was turned on to rap by Kurtis Blow records, admiring their down-to-earth quality. His "I Wish" single, with a video that parodied Forrest Gump, became a huge hit on radio and MTV during the summer of 1995, and his identically titled debut album was released shortly thereafter. Five years later, Skee-Lo resurfaced to issue his long-awaited follow-up I Can't Stop.

Tell a friend:
keeping it real is hard for most of the artist now cause the seeing DOLLAR signs money fucks everything up
This was the last most of us (including myself) saw of Skee-Lo. One of the better MC's of the '90s.
And the best his label could was put "Top of the Stairs" on the soundtrack of this lame ass film, "Money Train"?! Damn.
Used to watch drop by at night till I got bored
But not no more really that's for sure
Cause I gotta million honeys knockin on my door
And I'm not tryin to score with one
Cause diseases kill and that's ill
To make a mill in you gettin done
When you on top of the world girls may come
But when you fall down you won't find one
SICK !
I loved this song. Even though I'm a bit of purist when it comes to any kind of music, I thought this was brilliant use of a sample.
