The glory days of Nickelodeon's All That started on April 16, 1994 as a "sneak peek" and debuted as a regular series on December 24 of that year. It was the Saturday Night Live for Nickelodeon's demographic and brought in a slew of major music artists that were relevant at that time.
All That lasted ten seasons before it was canceled in 2005 and looking back, the musical performances are kind of legendary. Watching Nas perform the "Street Dreams" remix to a crowd of pre-teens and Missy Elliott on the stage with 702 for "Steelo," will likely make you feel very nostalgic.
Here are The 20 Best All That Performances.
