It’s pretty lame but one of my regrets in life is having not been a part of these Nickelodeon game shows as a kid. Growing up in Orlando they filmed a lot of the shows in Universal Studios back when they still had Nickelodeon Studios with the green gack fountain outside. Now that building looks totally different and is where they currently hold Blue Man Group shows. How times have a-changed.
As a child, I recall watching TV and seeing people wearing red and blue jumpsuits sliding down from a giant mouth and diving into a giant ice cream sundae just to grab an orange flag and thought: why can’t my family be doing this??? Why can’t I get to play Sonic the Hedgehog for points and then stand in front of a greenscreen and duck imaginary floating Medusa heads?! When will I get to put on moon shoes and pop balloons filled with SHAVING CREAM???
It would have been rad to don a Blue Barracudas t-shirt and assemble the shit out of the shrine of the Silver Monkey. Maybe even have met Melissa Joan Hart or Cuba Gooding’s brother. Could’ve watched Kenan Thompson before he became “the token” on SNL, or Kel Mitchell before he starred in the vastly underrated Mystery Men.
Oh all the childhood memories that could have been.
On hindsight, I guess I never bugged my parents enough. Alas the Aggro Crag, we were not meant to be.
Ghostface Killah - The Sun (feat. Raekwon, Slick Rick, & The RZA)

Allow me to introduce you to my favorite Wu-Tang (related) track of all time. First of, it’s a song….about THE SUN. Yea, really. It’s a rap song devoted to THE SUN and how awesome it is and how it radiates energy and gives life and “can never be pussy, always come out, [and] sits right there even if you pull your gun out”.
In fact, it just might be one of my favorite songs, in general.
Secondly, Slick Rick’s verse kills everything. His flow in this song hasn’t aged a bit and his lyrics are nothing short of poetry. The way he says “it’s haaard to go back to work when your lunch break’s finished” is perfection.
Third, come on it’s a song about THE SUN!!! Maybe RZA was in the studio one day listening to The Velvet Underground’s Loaded and was like “yo I got it!!!…we need to do a song about the sun! …doodoodooodooot”. One can only imagine how the genius mind operates. The only bummer is that RZA couldn’t get this sample cleared so it never made Ghostface’s album. But thanks to the internet it’s here, and it’s been one of my favorites since I first heard it.
ED. NOTE: Based on “I wish we had three more of you”, I suspect Rae does not believe in global warming.
