The Wu-Tang Clan travels back in time to 2000 B.C. and are faced with a world resembling that of The Flintstones’s Stone Age.

- “1, 2 Step (ft. Missy Elliott)” by Ciara. In the 2000s, if you were not on the dancefloor, you were not living. Thanks to songs like “1, 2 Step,” hip hop ruled the clubs, having everyone show off who’s got the best moves and who deserves to stay on the back burner.
