The UMC's - Blue Cheese


In 1991, this video and song by the UMCs had me baffled. In the days of rap meaning something, whether it be West Coast gangsterism, Public Enemy thought-provoking, even Naughty's urban picture-painting, "Blue Cheese" almost appeared like a shout out to Barney. Then Martin went ahead and hung their poster on his wall for years but that didn't help. They dropped a hot CD, "Fruits OF Nature" and that didn't answer the question. A few years later, they ditched the bright colors and Native Tongue style dances and became all hardcore. Still, no answer to "Blue Cheese." Fifteen years later, Im just as confused.

hey.
this is kool kim.. from the UMC's

and to tell u the truth I still don't know what that damn video was about.

but there is a definite meaning in the song... but not in the way u think..

it was a social statement.. meant to say that music was so dumbed down that we could name a song blue cheese and it could blow as long as the beat was hot.

Kim-
yo if that is really you, thanks for the info.

What is up with Haas G and yourself these days? And did Martin ever give you any residuals for that poster?

One.
