My fave UTFO song is "Ya Cold Wanna Be With Me." The video is great.

The LA Dream Team also sang on two slow jams.....a remake of "Stop To Start" and "Lisa For Love", which was a tribute to a member of their group named Lisa who had recently died. If I'm not mistaken, I think Kurtis Blow sang on a track years earlier. I could be mistaken but I really think he did. As for all these today trying to be too hard, if they have to put on an act, they ain't shit to begin with. If they would be their damn selves, they might find out that they actually do have some talent but have been too damn ignorant to show it. Andy has spoken dammitt. | |

Exactly. Also, the best hits of Whodini were very danceable. And UTFO had a sense of humor & didn't take themselves too seriously. Tupac "Makaveli" Shakur (RIP 1971-1996) & Michael Jackson (RIP 1958-2009)
2 men that had their lives taken away the moment they were speaking out AND rebelling against the dark side of the music industry once too often. |

Remember they started out as Whodini's back up dancers(they were in the "Escape" video) then went out on their own. They were a multi talented group of brothaz. may u live 2 see the dawn | |

They were a multi talented group of brothaz. i had no idea they were their back up dancers. i think they just kinds remind me of each other so i just kinda put them in the same category. Whodini had some dope songs too like one love, funky beat, i'm a ho, the freaks come out at night, big mouth and friends. i used to think Ectasy was cute! guys in the summer i want to buy a boom box and play me some U.T.F.O. while strutting my stuff on the streets. would i look completely nuts?

Oh hell to the yes, I love U.T.F.O. and Whodini, they were the shiznit back in the 80's. Old school rap at it's finest. Irish Diplomacy: The art of telling someone to go to hell, and having them look forward to the trip.

The rappers problems stem from being tone deaf Pack the house Tryin´ 2 sing there won´t be no one left .
Prince 1987, Dead On It. No seriously, I always loved those groups mentioned above, even when UTFO did that diss track against Prince... Really? Which UTFO song was that; I'm curious. Irish Diplomacy: The art of telling someone to go to hell, and having them look forward to the trip.
