I think if the definition of "rapper" is broad enough to include John Barnes, it can't exactly leave out So Solid Crew.

Really shocked to find out blazin squad had that much success. I remember their cover of crossroads, of course. And have a vague recollection of a follow up single that had a video that featured dancing girls that looked way too old for any of them and it all looked a bit weird and uncomfortable.. But 7 top 10 hits?!

 

Well, that's my TIL I guess...

It was Jodie Marsh he was flip reversing, the poor mans Jordan with Jordan being the slightly less poor mans stay in and have a wank.

He could’ve been seeing both I guess but I thought it was Jodie Marsh that Kenzie was seeing. 
I worked with a lad who was of that time and I convinced him that to impress girls he should say he was in Blazin Squad as nobody would freely admit to that. We looked through the list of band members and chose Melo D to be his secret identity. In the end he didn’t go through with it and I was pissed off with him.

The version of I'm A Believer they were going to use in the first Shrek was the EMF/Reeves & Mortimer version until Smash Mouth offered to cover it in exchange for letting them use All-Star during the titles.

Christina Applegate was a Pussycat Doll (back when they were a burlesque troupe and not a vehicle for Nicole Scherzinger).

In live football matches when Sweden play Denmark, the thing in the top corner that shows the score has the two abbreviated team names spell SWE DEN. The remaining letters spell DEN MARK.

I think since FIFA screenshots of this started doing the rounds, NGA is the abbreviation used for Nigeria.
