This will forever go down as one of the very first songs that started my hip-hop love affair. More importantly, it will go down as 2Pac’s official rap debut. Technically, Pac was kind of considered part of DU at the time, but as it was his debut it’s generally been listed and accepted as a feature spot.
This track is timeless old school hip-hop, with a feel-good production and smooth raps. I’ve forever maintained that Shock G is probably the most overlooked rapper when people talk about early 90′s hip-hop, and his ability is displayed clearly on this track. His alter-ego Humpty Hump was hilarious (again, evidenced in this track) and this versatility just testaments further to Shock’s ability.
Pac’s guest spot is superb, with a fast-flowing verse and some neat rhyme schemes creating a really enjoyable verse (which has been my ringtone for about 6 months!). Genuinely recommend everyone grabs this track, as it’s such a complete piece of hip-hop and a historic one too.
