I’m not usually one to enjoy rap, but “56k” by Ronald Jenkees is just too awesome to pass up.

Started in ‘93
I woke up, drove to the store and bought me a Dell PC
100 megahertz processor speed
“This is all you’ll need,” he said, “trust me.”

I opened it up as soon as I came home
“Please hold my calls ’cause I’m usin’ the phone!”
Dial up modem, analog connection
56k, 56k

I hooked to the Internet with my 56 kaaaay modem speed
And I meet all my peeps on the World Wide Web that’s where they be
I hooked to the Internet with my 56 kaaaay modem speed
And I meet all my peeps on the World Wide Web that’s where they be

Rollin right along into ‘95
I thought to myself “I’m gonna make a snazzy website”
Technically capable, professional skills
I’ll stick with my Dell PC, keepin’ it real

TCP/IP, fiber optic cords
With a few clicks I connect to the world
I connect to the Internet at lightning speeds
I know a lotta people across the country

I hooked to the Internet with my 56 kaaaay modem speed
And I meet all my peeps on the World Wide Web that’s where they be
I hooked to the Internet with my 56 kaaaay modem speed
And I meet all my peeps on the World Wide Web that’s where they be

I design my site with a free template
Don’t try to get on my chat room and hate
Animated gif files dancin’ on my screen
Email attachments with pics of me

I think about the future to 2003,
I think about my PC depreciatin’ on me
I don’t mind it ain’t nothin’ to me
56k is where it’ll be

I hooked to the Internet with my 56 kaaaay modem speed
And I meet all my peeps on the World Wide Web that’s where they be
I hooked to the Internet with my 56 kaaaay modem speed
And I meet all my peeps on the World Wide Web that’s where they be
