at times, there were videos that were available for months that nobody actually watched, or they claimed that they saw it, but you could tell they were prolly lying.
perfect example, is the biggest hit coming out of that same city the previous year. master p's "make em say ugh" was more of a winter/spring '98 hit, but I remember it being available for purchase on the box months prior to when it blew up into a mega-hit, and I never saw it for months. funny thing is, he had 4 other videos on the box at the time - I miss my homies, scream, and 6 in the morning. those 3 were all getting a lot of play, and he had a grip of guest spots in videos getting lots of play as well. he also had a video for "ghetto d" which wasn't getting played like that. barely saw that one. but "make em say ugh" didn't get shown at all to my knowledge, until it blew up months later, but it was lingering on the box for a while.
with that said, yall might've been rockin with the "Make em say ugh" video on the box down there the whole time that it was just an option that didn't get requested up here. that may be the case for "back that thang up" unless someone from up here can step in and say otherwise.
sall im saying.
