Question
Hi there!
In the beginning of this episode when the opening credits are rolling, there is a rap/hip-hop song playing over the loudspeaker in the school yard.  The song continues playing while "Robinson Ash" takes photos with his cameras of Dylan, Brenda, Kelly, Brandon etc.....
I would love to know the name of this song and who the artist is !  Thank you :-)

Answer
Hello Kayma,

My apologies, but I'm not familiar with that song so I do not know the artist/title. Also, I was not able to pick up any lyrics clearly from my videotape copy of that episode to attempt a lyrics search. If I happen to come across that song though and learn the artist/title, I will be sure to follow-up with you. On the off chance that my sister may have recognized it (big into 80s/early 90s music) I got her to listen to it as well, she said it sounded like it may be a song by Rob Base & CL Smooth. However, she isn't sure about it, only that the voices sounded familiar to her. Sorry I wasn't able to help you at this time.

Take care,
Crystal

Expertise

I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.

Experience

I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down. Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.

Education/Credentials
Pertaining to BH90210: fan since original airing on Fox going back to 1991. Saw 1st season from reruns & syndication.
