It was a good lob pass before 24s and rubber band man hit

I remember hearing it and thinking "Oh Neptunes killing it again... who tf is this rapping?" but not caring too much ... then he dropped the anthems right after and it all took off

That sh*t didn't get any real play, but I loved (and played) the hell outta that song. And if you had a system in your can, that bass was heavy...

That's still my favorite Tip album BTW.......

Didn't care for it. Had only seen the vid a couple times on Rap City and that's it. When I heard Heavy Chevys though I was :jbhmm:

put my friends on to it while we was riding around greensboro for a&t homecoming weekend that year :yeshrug:
Yep. That's what I did or atleast tried to put all my friends on to it

I knew he was gonna blow

I been listening to south rap since the beginning and when I heard T.i snapping on that last verse on I'm Serious up to the point I only heard 5 South rappers who could snap like that

U had Scarface and 8ball they was some of the greatest Mc's but they didn't have verses snapping like they could jump in an Eastcoast cypher with

Never cared about this song, but I see he really snapped on the first two verses.
