The I Love The ’90s Tour: A Nostalgic Journey to Our Youth
This month marks the launch of the exciting I Love the ’90s Tour, featuring beloved hip-hop and R&B icons from the decade, including MC Ice, Pepa & Salt, Biz Markie, Color Me Badd, All-4-One, Rob Base, Tone Lōc, Young MC, and Kool Moe Dee. Initially limited to just a few concerts, the tour’s immense popularity has led to a significant expansion of its schedule across the country.
“It’s like bringing back the joy of a time that holds great memories for many,” said Lisa “Pepa” Scott of Salt-N-Pepa in an interview with USA Today. “It’s a massive celebration of the ’90s!” And she’s absolutely right; those years represented a simpler time before adult responsibilities took over—when we were teenagers reveling in our favorite music, movies, and shows. This tour is a wonderful reminder of those cherished moments.
Memories of the ’90s
One standout memory from the ’90s was the iconic television series, Beverly Hills 90210. Color Me Badd made a guest appearance in an episode where Donna discovers her mother’s infidelity. Brenda and Kelly embark on a quest to find the band members, eventually bringing them back to the Peach Pit to perform an unforgettable rendition of “Dream On.”
And who could possibly forget the era of Vanilla Ice? He not only resurrected the pompadour hairstyle but made it his own with a unique two-toned twist. We all secretly ventured to theaters to watch Cool as Ice alongside a few daring friends. Rob Van Winkle (aka Ice) lit up the stage with memorable lines like, “Drop that zero and get with the hero.” Even when critics labeled him as a middle-class kid from Florida rather than a true gangsta rapper, we didn’t care. The thrill of cruising down the beach while shouting “Ice Ice Baby too cold” will forever remain etched in our memories.
We fondly recall the cheeky and provocative tunes that dominated the decade; songs like Tone Lōc’s “Wild Thing” became our anthems at sleepovers, while Rob Base’s “Joy and Pain” perfectly encapsulated the rollercoaster of teenage life.
Sharing the Nostalgia
Now, all these years later, I find myself sharing some of the less explicit rap hits from the ’90s with my tweens. We laugh as I attempt to sing along to Biz Markie and break out the Kid ‘n Play dance moves, trying to convince them that this music was once the epitome of cool. I share with my daughter how inspired I was by Salt-N-Pepa, one of the pioneering female rap groups breaking into the male-dominated hip-hop scene. They are part of my effort to show her that girls and women can achieve anything they set their minds to.
The I Love the ’90s Tour promises to be a nostalgic trip for those fortunate enough to snag tickets. For one magical night, we’ll be transported back to the ’90s, singing and dancing to the soundtrack of our youth.
Kicking off on April 15 in Greenville, South Carolina, this tour will continue through October, hitting select cities nationwide. To learn more about the tour, check out this blog post.
