Le’Shaun of "Wild Thang» fame is still bitter at Cool J for not including her in the success of "Doin’ it"

Le’Shaun was recently asked by WestCoastStyles if the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop meant something for her, she (still) has some bitterness over the fact that she was not featured in the video for «Doin' it» as she was pregnant at the time the video was filmed, so another woman took her place lip syncing Le’Shaun reused lyrics from her classic «Wild Thang» and on top of that there was another woman performing the lyrics when Cool J toured the «Doin' it» hit in the mid / late 90’s.

"Le’Shaun (Williams) The 50th anniversary of Hip Hop means nothing to me, and I am being completely honest,I was left out of everything. LL Cool J (went) on tour, and I was not given so much as a phone call to see if I wanted to perform, and that answers a few of your other questions at the end, so I’m not going to repeat the same answer…but, no, we do not keep in touch, we don’t speak and, therefore, I don’t see me doing any work with him in the future.»

Eve After Dark | Hip Hop Documentary | Full Movie (2023)

^^^^ FULL MOVIE ^^^^

(Music is partially muted / copyright claim)

^^^^ TRAILER ^^^^

The "Eve After Dark" documentary chronicles the humble 1979 beginnings

of the landmark Los Angeles hot spot to its Super Bowl LVI half-time show recognition.

Told through storytelling of owner Alonzo Williams,

the DJs, artists and comedians who launched or elevated their careers at the club,

the film is a candid behind-the-scenes look at the first West Coast's hip hop club.

At the height of its prominence "Eve After Dark" was home to the

World Class Wrecking Cru, founded by Williams and featuring Dr. Dre and DJ Yella.

Comedians D. L. Hughley, Chris Tucker, Robin Harris and Anthony "AJ" Johnson

were also regular performers.

East Coast acts Run DMC and Kurtis Blow

booked their first Los Angeles appearances at the venue.

The story of "Eve After Dark" is a cinematic exploration of the prominent social issues facing

the African American community in the 1980s, the circumstances that led to

the club's closing and the enduring creativity and talent that survives in hip hop culture to this day.
