The Boy Can Move !!!!

Mama Slish places her little bundle of joy Young Slishy in front of the record player. She needs to clean the living room and can't do it with him in her arms. The record player seemed to hypnotize him. Mama Slish being an oppurtunist put his ass right there while she cleaned. 5 minutes later she looks over to check on her baby boy "OH MY" This boy can mooove. I mean he's doing steps that she's only seen Slish Sr do. She calls out ' Slish Sr! Come here quick !!! " Slish Sr runs to the living room " Wha happen Mama Slish!! Whats so important ! " Mama Slish whispers " Look pon yuh son." Slish Sr giggles and looks at Mama Slish with PRIDE, pats is chest and responds " Thats from my side of the family " Mama Slish sucks her teeth and responds " Move from here bout im get it from your side of the family" Slish Sr giggles some more and leaves the living room.


As the years went by and Young Slishy entered adolescence. Mama Slish noticed that her son was a freak of nature. She would take him to other kiddie parties and he would clear the dance floor with his near perfect moves. He danced like he was a grown ass man. Not in the sexual sense but in a way that intrigued his viewers. She thought to herself " When and where did this little boy learn these dance steps. " Ya see. Back in the day Mama Slish and Slish Sr loved to throw house parties. What they didn't know was that Young Slish would sneak downstairs while the party was going on and watch the grown folks do what grown folks do. Once Mama Slish figured that out. She thought to herself if I can't beat him might as well show him off. Which she proudly did.


Few more years go by. Young Slishy is now a teenager. He's already known for his quick steps and innovative moves. As a matter of fact his Michael Jackson impersonation was FIIIIIIRE!!!!! His boys The Crew loved that Young Slish could dance. Since they couldn't and girls back then were drawn to guys who could. Everytime they went to a house party and some cat was in the middle of the dance floor getting all the attention meant for them. They would say to Young Slish " Shut that down" Young Slish would do his Stunna moves and the honies eyes would light up! Once that happened The Crew would break into a smooth dance routine called The Norton( Taught to them by Young Slish) When done in unison it would cause the crowd to gather in a circle and stare in awe. It was a good hustle any teenage girl having a party in our neighborhood made sure The Crew attended.

Time passed. Young Slish is now Slish. His moves are still tight. So tight that he was asked by a one hit wonder music producer to dance for an artist he was developing. When Slish heard the song he liked it immediately, but there was a snag. Slish's boy White Chocolate was the one who connected him to the producer therefore making his non dancing ass his partner.

We had a week to practice and come up with a routine. That was the longest week of Slish's life. White Chocolate couldn't pick up the moves fast enough and had a tendency while dancing to look over at Slish in order to see what the next move was going to be.. THATS A NO NO!!!! You do that and you're always a step behind.

Judgement day. Friday 1 day before their first performance at the Palladium in NYC. Slish has already told all his friends and female admirers that he' s going to be a star and that they should come and see him perform. But before that could happen The producer had to make sure their dance routine was tight. Which it was. White Chocolate somehow found his rhythm somewhere between Weds and Thursday. They were ready !!! Mr producer says " Alright fellas lemme see what you got. " He pushes the play button on the tape deck. That infectious beat hit Slish's ear drum and he starts to move. White chocolate is moving right along with him step for step then his DUMB ASS looks over at Slish to see what the next move is going to be. Ya'll know what happened next !!!! Producer stops the tape deck and says " What is this ! You guys promised you would have this down by tonight for tommorrow!..This isn 't going to work. You guys are OUT!!!! Artist you will be performing without these knuckleheads "

Slish looks over at White Chocolate he quickly blurts out " Its not my fault you were moving too fast" he didn't respond he just took his stuff and went home. That summer the song hit the clubs hard!!! I mean it was hit!! Still is till this very day. If that song comes on in any club the crowd goes wild. Would you guys like to know what that song is? CLICK THE BAR BELOW, because my fingers refuse to type it.

That was definitely the song. I was at a party a few weeks ago. They played that and mixed it in with "Follow Me". The dance floor was so packed people were dancing anywhere they could find a spot.

Slish...see somehow I already knew this about you? LOL

Did I ever tell you my story about me and my best friend? We went to the Sound Factory one night when Raze (was that his name) was preforming "Break for Love" and he decided to wear a pair of cowboy chaps...without any pants on underneath. Okay? Then he started pulling young ladies onstage and performed oral activities on them..now had you been one of the dancers.....who knows what may have happened to you. LOL

Had my momma rolled in there, she would have whupped my ass.

I think that was a Bronx thing. My sisters, friends and I were always in some talent show, contest or audition somewhere. We were all in music lessons, competitive step team or dance class somewhere. My sister produced her first show in high school at age 16. And when videos first came out, I remember folk would wait on line for hours just to be an unpaid walk on!

We all thought we would be famous one day and some of us are...even if its in our own minds, LOL

but one time in seventh grade me and katie sang let me entertain you, while doing the shimmy and the school thought we were stripping and shut the curtains on us!

Okay negro, so you baited me in....

you spin a good yarn my friend... that you do.... accuracy? well that ain't always your strongpoint... lol

your crooked-foot ass know I gets down for mine... still do... LMYAO!!!

Anyway one thing that you said is true... I have never been that much for choreographed ish! I just dance when the music overtakes me.

Nonetheless, the REAL REASON that we did not make it to dance at the Palladium was the chick with DD's and a cat-suit that he chose over us! There was nothing neither of us could do against that. Even this dude who was probably gay, couldn't resist he infantile desire to suck on those HUGE breastesses!!!

Remember he was "faking" cunnilingus on stage and she came back and told us, "he was REALLY LICKING!"? There the proof. I did have the routine tight, we just didn't stand a chance.
