This was the song that started me down the rabbit hole...
Me and my bro was watching that shyt for the 1st time on The Box channel and was joking on the shyt initially,
but for whatever reason, by the 2nd time after MFers kept calling in requesting that video.
we went from
to
when that hook dropped , seems like everybody was having the same delayed appreciation
Barely took 2 weeks before the older nikkas and D-boys was blasting "Ha" til thier woofers started fukking up lol. I witnessed that nikka Juve ascendence in real time.
Then I heard another song that sounded like him but I wasnt sure, Ran out side to hear what it was more clearly, but it had cut off arubptly before I coul make it outside
Ask my OG what he was listening to and he showed me the 400 degreez CD case and started the song up again........
I just stood there stuck than a MF while my OG cheesing from ear to ear like "yeah, you know that shyt bump young nikka"
1st time ever in my life felt compelled to think of words to put over a beat. That was the start of me wanting to rap. It was sensory overload. Brehs, My young, dumb ass was so pressed to get 400 degreez immediately I worked up the nuts to steal it out of Block Buster Music back in the day
. Got away smooth too
went home and popped that shyt in my PS1 and so began my hardcore love with this rap shyt; spent most of my time staring at this screen:
As you can tell, that album holds so much value to me still
Ha actually set the template for the man who just died's biggest hit too. "Whoa". That rap format where you drop the hook after every line. That was an innovative format at the time.
