Buy "I Wish" here!

I remember back in 1996 seeing the video for "I Wish" on MTV all the time. It got so much play because it was an exit from all the gangsta rap madness so popular at the time.

I was thinking how this boy had issues. He was short, couldn't get no play, had no rap with the ladies, playing Forrest Gump in his video, wishing he was "a baller". How pathetic. But it was a fun, cool sounding tune.

I would ask DJ's if they played "I Wish", and they'd look at me like I was crazy. I didn't even buy his CD, but that video has been in my mind, driving me bonkers. But the song was real, I mean, how many "brothers" can honestly admit they have no game?
