Tone Loc

Ton Loc - “Cheeba Cheeba”

I don’t really have any basis for saying this, but I think Ton is underrated, I think he could have had a much better career.  I wonder if “Funky Cold Medina” and “Wild Thing” might have actually been bad for him.  Also, something I learned today from Wikipedia is that this album cover was based on Donald Byrd’s A New Perspective.  

Loc-Ed After Dark is tight.  Plus, this line from this song:

She’ll take me upstairs, lay me down on tha bed, Pull off tha Fila shorts and start givin’ me hizzead

That was in 1989.  Wonder if this influenced Snoopy Dogg Snoop to take this lingo to the next level?
