I'm Baaaack. But where's Another Bad Creation?

My friend Kim, who lives far away and whom I haven't seen in person in way too long, reached out today and reminded me that "Megan Likes This" is a good idea. I kinda dropped the ball there, starting a blog and then posting like 4.2 times. Oops. Well, I moved to a new city, started a new job and nailed a bunch of insane deadlines, and now I do believe I'm gonna blog again. Whaddya think?

Today's post is all about nostalgia. Last night a buddy of mine started playing some of those old MTV party CDs from the 90s. That song "Playground" by Another Bad Creation (aka ABC) was in the mix, and... goddamn. It's a been a while since we've had a solid child-rapper to get excited about. Remember Kris Kross? Lil Bow Wow (ok, he's still around, but not "Lil" anymore)? I guess I didn't really realize how young they all were, and how outrageous it was for them to be that good at such a tender age, because I was around the same age myself.

Another Bad Creation was tight. Those kids could seriously rap and dance. So, whatever happened to them? I checked out their Wikipedia page, and it was very much just official band info—nothing about what became of the kids post-Michael Jackson's "Black or White" video. A little more Googling turned up this "Where are they now?" article from a random blogger, but I'll save you a few minutes of mindless reading—she doesn't really know. They regrouped and released an album in 2006, and now they're good-looking but no longer very famous.

Anyway, I encourage you to check out the "Playground" video on YouTube, just for kicks. Something Megan doesn't like: Universal Records has disabled embedding on all their music videos, including this one. Laaaammmme. Don't they understand distributed media? You're still on YouTube if the video's embedded, dummies—it's just a better user experience. Some people.

Anyway, enjoy this little slice of nineties magic!
