I was probably about 10 when this came out. Deep song. Meaningful. The beat and tempo take me back to a different time. When I listen now to "Tennessee" I am able to understand it through adult ears...This group were really talented.
Another gem that takes me way back, back to when MTV actually played all music videos, ALLLL DAY. Hell, back to better days & times. Today's youth have NO idea....
C/O 99' here too, and I couldn't agree w/ y'all more if I waited to❤I'm still in shock that someone was arrested for Tupac's murder yesterday, almost 30 yrs. later.
My English teacher in middle school Mr. Wall, who also had a music appreciation class showed his class this song. He looked just like Jesus in business casual outfit. Later down the road in high school I heard he passed away and that totally devastated me I went to his funeral and will always remember you Mr. Wall! Greatest teacher ever! Thank you for showing me this song your lessons will always live on! RIP
I get it. I had almost finished 7 grade and cancer hit. I missed half of 8th grade. Angela Sifford was the teacher that home taught me while I was home going through cancer. I'll never forget her. 31 years have passed.
There's a last time we see someone, sadly we don't know when that is. Thank you for posting about Mr. Wall. Some people touch our hearts so deeply that we never forget.
@@jeremiahkirby6552 thank you for writing about your teacher Angela Sifford! Cancer is no joke! My dad died of cancer when I was 12 from smoking cigarettes. But as a 26 year old man I’ve learned through all these loses and tough lessons in life there is hope no matter what horrific devastation you have been through! we are resilient as humans it’s in our DNA! Much love to anyone in this world who is going through grief or sickness of any kind! The world sees you! And loves you and wants the best for you! ❤️
@@jeremiahkirby6552 thank you for writing about your teacher Angela Sifford. Cancer is no joke I lost my dad to cancer when I was 12 from cigarettes so I’m super glad you have survived a battle with cancer. it’s awesome how we look back and think about how important these teachers actually are to shaping us as the people we are today. These lessons have taught me no matter what horrific devastation life throws at you there will always be Hope! Humans are resilient it’s in our DNA!
This track isn't faeces. I find your comment here disgusting. Murder references and disgusting language. Children frequent this website. Arrest this man
It had been a long time, since my childhood years and I was planning on being a musician. Now, I am an adult, almost in my fourth decade and here, I found this song again. What a nice song. Clean lyrics.
Funny to think that at this time Hip-Hop was defined by violence, women and excess yet had more conscious acts such as De La Soul, Poor Righteous Teachers, A Tribe Called Quest, Styles of Beyond, Slum Village etc. than it has nowadays. Dunno if I'm getting old, nostalgic or both!
How did we go from positive upbeat music like this to Cardi B and WAP? These guys should still be played all over the airwaves and spread some positivity.
You don't have to bring down today's music to uplift this song. Also, 2 Live Crew in the 80s were releasing music far more controversial than Cardi B, so your ignorance of hip hop history really makes me question this comment.
Very educative,They don't sing music 🎶🎵 like this no more, The now artist don't make good music like this,God bless arrested development for this music 🎶🎵👍,One love❤🧡💚
Powerful black music is what that was. Can’t Truss it was another song from another group that had a powerful message. Just don’t see it anymore. But that’s ok, we get to listen whenever we want🤓👍🏻
You can learn knowledge from school you can learn knowledge from church you can learn knowledge from people like Mr Wendell nothing but love for Mr Wendell's in the world
I haven't heard this in a very long time. Now after 15+ years of being homeless myself, I hear this differently. Their talking about a homeless guy and how they helped him and learned from him. I appreciate the fact they cared even back then. I'm so glad that they're gonna be at this year's Gathering of the Juggalos! Too bad I'm too broke to go see them...
So you knew about Mr Wendell and became Jr Wendell? All good brother we all have ups and downs….you can form an articulate statement and know there is more out there for you IF YOU WANT IT. Baby steps to results. Bro you can have a room and small biz in a few months if you put effort in that direction. I love you and believe in you.
My pops used to listen to this cd all the time back in the day...i still remember the lyrics 20 some odd years later...crazy what randomly registers in your mind
My cat brought me here because he likes sitting in the window daydreaming. I nicknamed him "Mister Window" and sing the chorus of this song at him while he stares outside. 😂
Wow. I hope in the last two years you've had the opportunity to expand your knowledge musically - this song is far from the best in any category much less an entire decade
I loved this song back in 1993, and I love it now! I give it bonus points for being about something other than sex or romantic love, which most songs are about
I saw this performed on Penn States outdoor venue when I was an undergraduate… they had a “Mr Wendell” on stage holding two lanterns up while they sang. I never lost that idea…it’s amazing how when you consider and remember…
LET'S SHARE THIS SONG UNTIL WE CAN'T BC IT JUST MIGHT HIT THE RIGHT PPL DIFFERENTLY & WAKE THEM TO A BIG PROBLEM IN USA. ESPECIALLY FOR THE MR WENDEL'S OUT THERE. LIMITED RESOURCES FOR MEN;YOUNG & OLD!!❤❤ B THE VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS. 🙏💙💯❤😇🤘
I listened to this music in 1994 right after I transferred to another school. Basically one of the music that heralded my transition from one toxic environment to a fun filled one.
I just heard a dude roasting somebody and he said, "boy you out here looking bum as hell, Mr Wendell looking ass nigga" I couldn't help but laugh 😂 then came straight here... some of the young folks hip to real music I see
So nostalgic for me. Was about 10ish when this came out. I always get this song stuck in my head when I see the name Wendell 😁 It's crazy how many people I asked about this song from our childhood and they don't remember it🤔🙄
30 years ago, some people noticed society was messed up. A nice song was made about that thought aaaand... nothing changed. 30 years! Today is that day i had to think of Mr. Wendal
Omg I just watched a video of how we used to play back and forth a tape to write down the lyrics. I just straight jumped to this song, it took me and my mate days lol I still have them written in a book 😂
Ii had a friend named Dave in Baltimore. Had, but still have in my heart. Wrong color, wrong city. i had this cd when it came out, but couldn't hear all the words. Thanks for being you and all
This was the one and only rap group that got to play Woodstock 25 yr reunion in ‘94! Awesome safe free festival for most. No violence, like the treacherous ‘99 follow up
I don’t know why this song randomly popped up in my head but I had to come listen to it in 2024! Loved this song as a kid!
same wtf
Roflmao same here. Playing it at 44 lol
I was probably about 10 when this came out. Deep song. Meaningful. The beat and tempo take me back to a different time. When I listen now to "Tennessee" I am able to understand it through adult ears...This group were really talented.
Lol! Me too!!
I feel ya, I’ve had “Mr Wendalllll yeah yeah” stuck in my head for over 30 years now…..and I love it!
Another gem that takes me way back, back to when MTV actually played all music videos, ALLLL DAY. Hell, back to better days & times. Today's youth have NO idea....
For real.
This song popped in my head for some reason. Loved it when I was a kid. What a great song. I Wish more people would listen to it in 2022.
I am
and 2023
Just did the same thing
Still bumping it in 2023
2023
"I just saw him eat off the food we waste."
That line always hits hard.
Gods people
Just really heard that line and the one before it then, for the first time. Brought a tear to my eye.
A great classic! Nothing like 90s hip hop. Absolutely NOTHING like it. ❤ High school graduate of 99!
Class of 99!! YES!! The Last Golden Era of Music

This shit will always pop in your head out of no where.. killer intro, killer beat, killer lyrics. Still killing it on 2023
Beat drops like my heart skips when listening to these guys
This track isn't faeces. I find your comment here disgusting. Murder references and disgusting language. Children frequent this website. Arrest this man
The message in this song is so fckn powerful 🎶🎶🙏🏾🧡
It had been a long time, since my childhood years and I was planning on being a musician. Now, I am an adult, almost in my fourth decade and here, I found this song again. What a nice song. Clean lyrics.
Totally - so immaculately 90`s..
Shakin Stevens
@@lyndellewallam9324 I loved Shakin Stevens, too
HlBest soong
Clean lyrics aren’t what make a great song 😭

Back in South Africa our tvs would play this song daily… brings so many memories…nostalgic
SABC 1 in the mid nineties
@@infamouswan Always on Repeat.
😳😳Arrested Development playing in South Africa? So dope.
How did we go from positive upbeat music like this to Cardi B and WAP? These guys should still be played all over the airwaves and spread some positivity.
Agreed but they want to destroy our culture and society. We are in deep trouble.
RIGHT ✨
Couldn’t agree with you more.
Definitely better than the rubbish played today at least these tunes had a meaning no wonder where’s
In a mess
You don't have to bring down today's music to uplift this song. Also, 2 Live Crew in the 80s were releasing music far more controversial than Cardi B, so your ignorance of hip hop history really makes me question this comment.
This is such a good song 🫶🏾 🤣 idc I’ll still be listening in 2053 ! The beat, the message, the talent 🔥
LET'S SHARE IT IN NUMBERS...❤
BEST SONG OUT IN 2024😅!!!!!!!! STILL BETTER THEN MILLIONS OF RECORDS
How many tears has it been since I heard Mr.Wendall I always.liked the song😊😅
This song is the ROOT of my compassion for the homeless. Thanks, AD for your hard work!
So many kids need to hear this song! It speaks truth and reality to people. 👍
You need a heart, and genuine compassion ❤️ 💙 💛 ✨️ 💕 ♥️
Already have that 😊👍
Kids aren’t kids anymore. They are lazy
Its way over their heads.
Amen to that!@
Very educative,They don't sing music 🎶🎵 like this no more, The now artist don't make good music like this,God bless arrested development for this music 🎶🎵👍,One love❤🧡💚

Amen homie, amen.
Powerful black music is what that was. Can’t Truss it was another song from another group that had a powerful message. Just don’t see it anymore. But that’s ok, we get to listen whenever we want🤓👍🏻
Jews corrupted black music.

It was definitely a conscious shifter!
Pareil ! .. ( mais de France ) .

In 2022 i still believe in this song right now.
Smooth rhythm and it is a nice song for all of us.
