I remember the first time I heard this. I ordered some papa John's. Delivery driver pulled up had to be at least 45 yr old white man had two 15s in a old cutless supreme. Never even turned the music down. Shit was honestly legendary
What make you think that persona was his creation? And being real, his and Kat's persona ain't the same, them two is on different wavelengths, especially when that mescaline kick in and C&H in his ear hyping him up. Its some similarities, but they superficial.
@@opieg7333 Kat is just now being himself but his claim to fame once he made it mainstream was Dru. Kat played mostly pimps in his early movies with the same hairstyles. Walked like him talked like him and already admitted Dru was his inspiration

@@priscillasmith1713.. LOL When that beat drooped the DJ at the club used to say: I need ALL Drunks, D-sucker$, Skanks, Skeezers, Side Chicks, Tramps, Tricks, Bust - Downs, Prostitutes, Whores, Heffahs, Pole Dances, Gold Diggers, Good Girls, Mammys and Mistresses and Pimps, Players, and Ballers, to get yall a$$es on the dance floor! He would say I covered everybody and would play the song, and it was shoulder to shoulder dancing and we had so much fun!
I remember being 19 around 1998 bumping this song really loud subbing hard af in my 92 Monte Carlo SS in long beach city college...the times seemed a little better back then without the internet
@@tonyperez985I've already returned it lol, but there's a catch, I'm Brazilian but my personality is very strong about that and I was unfortunately born here man😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm from Florida. But I always dig how Oakland brothers would drop free game. I learned to master my talk game and realized my confidence from that Oak Town IZM💯
Times wer soo different back in the day. I get goosebumps and start walking a lil different when i hear these albums. It was hard, bangin', real thangs going down.
I'm an old lady in this is one of my favorite the rap songs of all time. It's terrible with him talking about making girls bleed! Rappers don't flow like this anymore. The flow, the voice, the rhymes, I miss that.
It's a sample of: The Whole Darn Family - "Seven minutes of funk" (1976) Songs who sample it are Grandmaster Flash - "Superrappin'" (1979) Kurtis Blow - "Street rock" (1986) EPMD - "It's my thing" (1988) Tha Alkaholiks - "Only when I'm drunk" (1993) Dru Down - "Mack of the year" (1994) Coolio - "Bring back somethin' fo da hood" (1994) Jay-Z - "Ain't no nigga" (1996) Faith Evans - "Good life" (feat. Ja Rule, Cadillac Tah & Vita) (2001) Afu-Ra - "Readjustment" (2002)
Heard this on the radio the other day and it instantly brought me back to the early 90s of the crazy days of college. Anyways, I forgot about this one. Great hearing this again after almost 30 years. lol
I was stationed in Georgia with the Army and I got back from leave and brought this CD back from California (with AMG, DJ Quick, Rodney O and Joe Cooley) and my squad's minds were blown. Hahaha. Yep, West Coast for Life.
this song helped us come down from acid a few times because "rich fucks" used to spam it on The Box for $0.99 credit card charge and we had the pleasure of watching it on a 12" tube screen in a very remote adobe shack after an all night rave.. the vid would play like 12x in a row and then they would play the video of The Skatman
I heard this song when I was very young and 2023 I'm able to find this song for the radio station 102.1 thank god thats nothing but god I swear this sample would be hard now and days swear !!
Used to skate at World on Wheels in Cali black-in-tha-day to this, then bounce to the club upstairs in the bowling alley til 2 in the moaning... it was FIRE then, and still is!
I went to the Art of Rap Festival in Mountain View, CA. I was standing in line waiting to get in and Dru Down was standing behind me also waiting to go in. Pretty awesome :)
EPMD sampled too, they weren't the original producers. But both versions are classics though...a few rappers have requoted the lyrics from that EPMD song. But Dru Down's version is the better song and the most memorable
I remember Ant Banks did an interview promoting his album back in 97-98. He admitted that this beat was the worst beat he ever did. He claimed he did the mix in like 5 minutes and Too Short confronted him wondering why he would give a beat like that to him. I guess dru made it work.
