Thanks for the memories BMWK -- takes me back to my college days when life and Black music seemed to be simpler. Bell Biv Devoe was out there right around the time that Black music changed. I love the song and the beat, but now as a 30-something, that one line where Biv says that he's "keepin one eye open, still clocking the hos" catches me. Yet, in light of what's being sung or rapped about today, it is pretty mild. It's a reminder of how things have changed in Black music.
