The music world was crazy weird and hugely crappy in 1991. I've mentioned this before, but for some reason I don't think most people remember it that way.

Not nearly as much as it is in 2013. In 1991, you still had plenty of artists of substance having pretty big records. You'd be hard-pressed to find many today.

greasy ponytail

One of those style touches that spares you from having to listen to an artist to determine if they're any good.

Never previously heard of him but he was HOT lol anyone else hear those lyrics though :fallof: the crowd chants "JT bust a nut" then he goes "in your and in your butt". Terrible lol

It sounds like JT had bad luck or his label was just stupid, as his song came out THE same time as Marky Mark's "Good Vibration" lol

anyway here's a link that has a bio about him

Sounds like a cut rate Gerardo imitator. Anyway watery pop crap, looks like he is wearing a pre symbol style amulet though. In 1991 speak, that stuff was totally wack, even Carlton would find it wack.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

I like 1990-93. It's mostly 94-99 that were disappointing.
