Not to get all "Parents Just Don't Understand," or nothin', but what in the world are the words to Soulja Boy Tell'Em's "Bird Walk?" Even "Bird Walk" would be up for grabs if it weren't the title. "Every city inna club hooroda rimbay!" (Though, side note, Kings of Leon have no clue WTF Glasvegas is talking about.)
But, with a beat like that, who needs words? Especially when they're backed up by about 10,000 hypemen in various sports-themed scenarios doing high kicks, waving arms and swervin' they hips? Say whatever you want, Soulja Boy. I'm sold. Do that bird walk, nahhh! Grammy time!

'80s reunions are pretty much the new neon -- first there's the announcement of the re-emancipation of NKOTB. And now -- drop those bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousers and double-knit reversible slacks, because it's looking more likely that a long-awaited revival of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince may (finally) be a reality.
A DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince reunion has been rumored for years -- decades, even. But with MC-turned-megastar the Fresh Prince's movie, Hancock, nearing its July 2008 release date, might DJ Jazzy Jeff be dusting off his 1s and 2s to join Will for a "summertime" revival?
No tour dates have been announced, but we'll have our Adidas and Jams at the ready, just in case.
Watch the pioneering, classic, and endearingly low-budge video, "Parents Just Don't Understand." (And peep the sweet Porsche "car phone!") The single won them the first-ever Best Rap Performance Grammy in 1989, but Will Smith and Jeff didn't attend the Grammys that year. See why in a vintage Yo! MTV Raps clip.
