​​

Speech rose to success in the early '90s as the leader of the groundbreaking alternative rap group Arrested Development. Born Todd Thomas in Milwaukee, WI, on October 25, 1968, he was raised primarily in Ripley, TN, before relocating to Georgia in 1987 to attend the Art Institute of Atlanta. There he met fellow student Tim Barnwell, and together they laid the foundations for Arrested Development's 1988 formation; adopting the stage name Speech, Thomas' lyrics reflected a positive, socially conscious, and deeply spiritual world-view far removed from the negative stereotypes of the burgeoning gangsta rap movement, while the group's music served up a rootsy, organic fusion of hip-hop, soul, funk, and blues.

Bohemia Afterdark launched on TVs in 1982 and operated in Phoenix, AZ, but early history is unknown until 1990 when they moved to Portland, Oregon. In 1992 they began airing on KPDX Portland and then they move to KWBP in 1994. In 1995 they began airing on 22 Network One affiliates. In 1997 Network One shut down and the service moved to KOIN and in 2001, the service moved back to Phoenix, airing on KASW, then in 2002, moved to KPHO-TV. In 2003 they got their own station, KPHE-LP, at the time broadcasting on channel 19 in Mesa, Arizona, and changed their name to Bohemia Visual Music. KPHE moved to channel 44 in Phoenix in 2005.[2] Bohemia Visual Music changed their name to 24-7 Videos for a few months from mid-2005 to early-2006, then reverted to Bohemia Visual Music.

Pareil que toi : 10 ans que je la cherchais (mais 4 ans plus tard), j'adore spécialement le début en fait, jusqu'au refrain, après je trouve ça plus neutre. Au passage, merci le Net, j'avoue que pour te comprendre, c'est un peu difficile...

Arrested Developement did a song that I think was called Southern Fried Funk. I heard it once on a cassette single. I've been looking for the song for YEARS with no success. Has anyone heard of this song, and do you know where I can find it?

I really like this video. As a child I had no clue I would be in a video and am so glad I got the opportunity to be in this video. I guess it was effective since now all those old building have been demolished and condos build in their place. This video always reminds me of how things use to be. Thanks.
