They called this one of the worst Hiphop songs 25 years ago, now it’s trending on Twitter

[Duke_Droese]

I always liked Owe Me

That beat and hook was always fire

Oochie Wally tho?

They call me horse, the p*ssy killer is a GOAT level memorable line

I was always neutral on this song. But some of y’all definitely on some revisionist history shyt acting like only “real hip hop heads” wasn’t fukking with it. Yea the ladies loved it. And if you were at a party or the club it was cool. nikkas had kinda stopped checking for Nas a little bit around this time which is why Takeover hit as hard as it did becuz a lot of folks felt that way. The Roc, DMX, the Lox, Mobb Deep, Chronic 2001 was what was really running the streets. I always thought You Owe Me sounded forced and there were way more songs out in 99-2000 that hit harder in a club/party setting like Vivrant Thing for example

They didn’t start getting shytted on until after Takeover.

Nah Takeover reinforced what a lot of nikkas already thought

 

[Still Benefited]

You Owe Me was fire. Hate Me Now got hated on too, people forget that.

I think that might have been Puffy fatigue irrc

Yes,Hate me now was iconic.

"Don't hate me,hate the money I see"

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

shout out to Timbaland for this beat. 90s-2010 Timbo was a BEAST

Word.



But for me;




You Wont Seent Me Tonight >>>

This.

You Owe Me wasn't a song anyone went crazy over when playing the album the first time. It was cool if it came on at a party or club but acting like people were feeling it outside of that environment is cap. It had it's place. Everyone was doing those songs for the girls with the R&B singer on the hook so it was just another one of those. Wasn't anything to get excited about nor was it overly hated. It was just cookie cutter

Oochie Wally was the song at the parties I went to at the time. It was more raw where You Owe Me was a standard radio song.

I definitely like the song in certain settings but it sounded outdated at time imo. It woulda been better if it dropped in 97. When it dropped you had shyt like Whoa, Ante Up, and Quiet Storm being played in the same settings. Just like you said about Oochie Wally. shyt that sounded more raw hit harder at the time

i like oochie wally, but you owe me sucks

 

[the cac mamba]

99-2000 was a really weird time for Nas music.

it was like half fire, and half garbage

he was putting out shyt like NYSOM 2 and Nas Is Like at that time, along with some of the worst music of his career

 

[Metal Face]

Nas Won

 

[Metal Face]

and this could never be Nas's worst song since the beat is actually fire

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I liked Oochie Wally, didn’t really care for You Owe Me
