The best question posed in HA by Juvenile

[KushSkywalker]

i remember reading about the Hot Boys in XXL and i ordered 400 Degreez off Amazon when it dropped.

my face went

it was a bit of work & a lot of money to get CMR albums back then where i lived. usually about $40 a pop

I know nikkas ain't going to act like when jiggas part on the remix came up they weren't going blllaaat blllaaat.

 

[Huellz Santana]

when this song came out i was like

i was in ATL at the time but i kept thinking "when is this nikka gonna start rappin?"

then the hoook came on and im like "ok"

then it goes back to the verse and im like "so wait, he IS rapping?"

the verses sounded like a nikka talking to me instead of rapping. song grew on me immensely tho.​

Real Hood shyt.

Uncut and raw. The kids making a trampoline outta the mattress

I was gonna make thread the other day about the most hood videos in the history of hip hop and this was the prototype that popped into my head...

I remember going to New Orleans for the first time like 6 months after this song dropped and taking pictures in Magnolia with a disposable camera like it was a tourist attraction..I'm lucky them n1ggas didn't light my green azz up...

breh... EVERYBODY looked at the video like when it came out.

two weeks later EVERYBODY was on some "you just bought some new shoes, ha?" "yo bytch got a ugleh face, ha?" shyt!

more than 10 years later, Gucci Mane stole the whole style of this video and ran with it, and owe Juvi some monies.

Lol fam I remember watching BET late at night when they would show low budget independent label vids and I saw this and was and then kept seeing it and was then . This was months before it blew up.


and to your last part.... you just made me notice the similarities between Gucci and Juvi

 

[malbaker86]

does anyone else remember/realise he's saying "get nothin outta somethin" instead of the right way around? that's how it is on the album anyway, i'll have to watch the video to see if they changed it.

I swear I SWORE I was the only person who ever caught that. i don't know why this has went unnoticed or not spoken upon tho :alugh:

I know nikkas ain't going to act like when jiggas part on the remix came up they weren't going blllaaat blllaaat.

:teo: sadly that's Jigga's worse verse he's ever spit. Sh!t was

 

[Ohene]

No love for the hook though?

Classic shyt man. I was a big juve fan growing up. Even From u understand to rodeo. Underrated legend.

Gizzle make a juvenile appreciation thread later

You gotta go to court ha / You got served a subpeona for child support ha / That was that nerve ha

Its harder to "get something out of nothing", though.

People be "getting nothing out of something" all the time. Imagine people who hustle all their life and aint got a thing. All that hard work and nothing to show for it...

"You cant do nothing but love Fresh, ha?

You wanna know what we gone do next, ha?

You bought my tape with yo check, ha?"

Me and my boys was cracking up at that line.... cause the first thing I did when I got paid that day was by 400 degreez.

Jay on the remix was one of the first of many times that jigga tried to hop on the wave of what ever was hot at the time.

Didn't really notice it as it was happening but he has to be the most wave riding rapper of all time.

but the lyrics said "You know what it is you MAKE nothing out of something" tho

 

[DeuceZ]

I always wondered why he said "nothing outta something" instead of "something outta nothing"
