Retro Video of the Week: "What's Up Doc? (Can We Rock)" by Fu-Schnickens featuring Shaquille O'Neal

Saturday marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Brooklyn-based hip hop group Fu-Schnickens' second and final album, Nervous Breakdown.  The lead single off of that album (which was actually released the year before) was "What's Up Doc? (Can We Rock)" the group's collaboration with a then-young-and-budding NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal.  The song cracked the Top 40 of Billboard's Hot 100, topping out at #39.  Unfortunately, for Fu-Schnickens, by the time Nervous Breakdown was released, rap and hip hop had gone the way of the gangsta, so their clever, lightning-fast, kung fu and pop culture-inspired lyrics were apparently not what the kids wanted to listen to anymore. 

I will say that I had the Fu-Schnickens' first album on tape, and I absolutely loved it.  In fact, I am going to Amazon right now to check on its availability.
