When De La Soul, Talking Heads, No Doubt, Bobby Caldwell, Human League and about 30-40% of the cuts mentioned here are considered nerdy and unhip, I'll chalk it up to generational differences...most of them released several crossover hits.
My thoughts go along the lines of artists who made one song so TOTALLY different than their usual genre and it crossed over into the hood...
For example...if you're from Chi and are an ol school stepper, two of the stepping anthems are Logins and Messina's Pathway to Glory and Cat Stevens' Was Dog a Doughnut.
Both artists were mainly folk, pop stars and to my knowledge never made anything as funky as these two cuts..

I've forgotten about a buncha these cuts...gonna have to put em in the playlist...
Another artist I'd add was Malcolm McLaren...he was the Sex Pistols manager/promoter and produced Adam Ant....I believe, and Bow Wow Wow.
Buffalo Gals was Dope AF. I believe he had the Rock Steady Crew breaking in the video.

I used to play this song to sooth my oldest child when she was a baby.
This song sings about a chapter in my existence.
Something about this song... loved it.
Damn you beat me to it Leo Sayer was unhip and nerdy as anybody could be back in the day
Read the thread title. Nobody said they weren't good.
That's a nerdy as fuck looking group except for rena.

Biggie killed Kwame and dem polk-a -dots, but I still love that song and even the polk-a-dot style:
”your style is played out like Kwame and those f*cking polk-a-dots” from Biggie’s “Unbelievable.”

Yeah, I was a hipster on that Moo song......, I didn't know she was gonna get this big, though.
I loved this film and this song, back in the day....
Who can hate on The Reflex? ...this one was produced by Nile Rodgers...
