San Francisco 49ers followers have been feeling prepared to bop going into the crew’s long-awaited first-ever playoff sport at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
And organizers certain offered a enjoyable soundtrack for them to just do that as three iconic hip-hop acts carried out in the course of the halftime present.
With the house crew main 14-10, the mighty Younger MC took the stage first and rocked proper into his sole prime 10 hit “Bust a Transfer.” The 49er Devoted definitely didn’t need to be advised twice, because the followers started busting strikes that most likely haven’t been seen because the smash tune initially got here out in 1989.
Among the greatest dance strikes got here courtesy of Sourdough Sam, the 49ers mascot who joined the 52-year-old rapper the makeshift stage erected at one finish of the 50 yard line, and the Gold Rush Cheerleaders who danced in entrance the stage.
After “Bust a Transfer, ” at tune which received the 1990 Grammy for greatest rap efficiency and remained within the Prime 40 for 20 weeks, Younger MC left the stage and Tone Loc took his spot.
Whereas Younger MC sounded pretty sturdy on the microphone, Tone Loc didn’t honest almost as effectively, struggling via abbreviated variations of his two large hits — “Wild Factor” and “Funk Chilly Medina.” It was a clever transfer — particularly on this #MeToo period — for him to carry out a really abbreviated model of “Medina” on condition that the tune’s content material revolves round slipping some type of a “love potion” into the drinks of unsuspecting females.
Final up was the Sugarhill gang, who delivered absolutely the spotlight of the halftime present and convincingly transported us again to 1979 for an awesome model of the “Rapper’s Delight,” which grew to become the primary rap single to hit the Prime 40 on Billboard.
San Francisco is not in the identical league as Los Angeles relating to cities with probably the most cool songs written about them. However there are undoubtedly some nice SF-centric tunes. Listed here are my prime 10:
