That shyt was hard to find where I was at B :to: Late 80s it was everywhere though.

We used to have Josta soda in the vending machines at my middle school though :pachaha:

Damn homie that's tough. I was born in 86 and definitely saw them aplenty in any grocery store once I got to elementary school. Definitely once I hit 2nd and 3rd grade which was 94 and 95

At those kids learning game from a sexual harassment video :deadrose:

When the one kid said the nude magazine had Kathy Ireland in it and she's cold. You know what that means

Other kid: I don't know what that means :lupe:

Main kid: Me either :dwillhuh:

His brothers doing push-ups and throwing raisins as a distraction :mjlol:

they made a mo money mo problems reference so they're definitely not trying to be historically accurate with the hip hop

love the little brother. love the ecto cooler reference. everyone delivered yet again. this show is pretty edgy for 8pm

I'll admit to never seeing that, and it's a fair rebuttal... but let me be a stickler... according to imdb that was released in August 95... so it's still not historically accurate. also, lets be real, that's not a deep reference to a hip hop documentary. the mom said "what is that black man always saying" it was a reference to the song and most people will take it as such. they're not trying to be hip hop historians with that throwaway line there.

I kinda feel like Eddie is a hip hop historian tho breh. I'm not saying the show is trying to be but the point is, they still got it right. It's something Big started saying once he blew up. Sounds like a W to me

isn't Eddie the one who has a problem with the way hip hop is handled? he probably flipped about the Forever shirt. he's not writing every episode.

Tried to tell nikkas but no one wanted to listen. Big was saying that before it was the title of a song. How cats on a hip hop board haven't seen the show is beyond me

Well the interview clip was from 95 so you're right...but I'm saying the phrase wasn't popularized like that amongst the general public, that's all.

An excerpt that was posted in this thread from an article Eddie wrote last month concerning inaccuracies

"Three weeks later, the EPA had announced it was no longer consulting scientists, Ferguson had announced there would be no indictments, and I sat in my massage chair numb to America, getting the gluten kneaded out of my back fat. Everything I saw, from Republicans suing Obama over immigration reform to the script for our second episode, where ODB is appropriated to teach Young Eddie how to make it rain, made absolutely no sense." In the footnote he tells them that ODB song came out before 'making it rain' but the producers didn't care :yeshrug:
