After all the #BlackPeopleMagic, #BlackExcellence and #BlackJoy that The Wiz Live! brought us, we have to ride this wave of awesomeness for as long as we can. What is more carefree than playing in large amounts of sand and looking amazing while doing it? That’s something only the most magical can accomplish. Here are seven music videos that made us want to get a ticket to Abu Dhabi and “take that, take that, take that.”

 

You and your girls can roll out to this one. Janet gave us so much 90s girl realness with MC Lyte in this video.
