The dance culture, house parties, "Street Bash" parties, beauty pageants, Bars, family parties/gatherings, Taxi/Mini busses, Pimped up Indian buses😂😂😂 EVERYWHERE!!! TV content improved and we had "Studio Mix" dropping fresh jams...... Black talent blew up and we all tagged along! It's amazing how Black Music evolved, touched and changed lives globally! 👌✊
