Picture yourself in the early 90s -- Your pants are big, your hair is tall, Dan Quayle is trying to get you to spell "potatoe", and someone else just beat you to the last pack of Topps Desert Storm at your local Pamida store. In your frustration, you grab a pack from the next box over that looks a little something like this:
That is one of those stretchy plastic wrappers like early Score baseball was packaged in. Let's crack this baby open!
First card:
Yeah! Everything I said about big pants has come to life right here in front of our eyes. Here's the back - All of the backs are similar, with a "factoid" and some other demographic information.
After that came Public Enemy. Flavor Flav loves him some clocks.
He's young, and he's an MC. I think I am safe describing him that way.
Apparently he was the host of Yo! MTV Raps. I never saw the show myself...too young and/or sheltered.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.
These guys were new to me...
They're no Darren McFadden...just the original Run-D.M.C.
You're just a butter knife, I'm a machete.
Paris is new to me...apparently he is still around -- his music is heavy in political content.
And for the last card in the pack....It's Mr. Van Winkle!
That's all we have. Overall, this was a pretty solid pack. It didn't have Kriss Kross, in it, though. Boo.
Readers: Do you remember any of these guys? Which card / song / video was your favorite?
