In 1998 nobody was ready for this sound, when this song dropped everyone was like "what is this" this song changed hip hop forever. shoutout to the neptunes for producing this and n.o.r.e. for changing the sound in hip hop forever.
Allegedly MJ wanted this song and not the songs on JTs Justified album that were first pitched to him(MJ). But this sounds nothing like MJ! It's trash music that had little airplay. MJs Invincible album with neosoul was better for him at the time. 😂
Agree but many times he was charging 500k for bullshit, I remember Game’s manager or someone like that saw the How We Do video for the first time, and said “wtf we spent half a mill on this shit?”

OMG TAKE ME BACK!!! I was a senior in high school when this came out. I've had this song always in the back of my head so I'm PSYCHED I found it on TT and followed it here to find this banger again in 2024.
Intro to super thug .Summer of 98 my cousin was talking about nore and this song for 2 months str8 im like who is that lol. one day in the morning watching bet, my cousin was still sleep but when he heard the helicopters in the music video, I never seen anyone jump out of bed as fast as he did lol hyped as shit. I’ll never forget that moment.
This song is forever a classic I was 15 in 1997 when this came out, I miss the old BET days this song stayed playing on Rap City and went to number one on the countdown.
i remember when i was a kid my dad took me and my brother swimming at the YMCA our pops did a cannonball into the deep end and his shorts came off. everyone including me and my brother seen his pee-pee this was 53 years ago but im traumatized STILL, i just remember both my brother and i staring at each other and just simultaneously saying, "WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
I’ll never forget the first time I heard this. Hot summer day, I’m outside my aunts house on the south side of Syracuse and this MPV drove by and I heard that beat and immediately thought of some UFO out of this world shit.
Just noticed the Neptune's are actually in the video. I saw this vid so much back in the day but they weren't known visually yet, or even a household name yet. It's cool to see in retrospect and it's cool Nore had them in it.
It’s crazy to see how the vocals was blended together and mixed underneath the beat today someone would think this was recorded in a small bathroom 🤣🤣🤣
Meant to say this song gets me so hype... many people would not have the courage to say "what" throughout a whole chorus.... he made it sound so great I love this song
Fun fact: Nore didn’t either. The Whats were a placeholder for him until he thought of a chorus but Pharrell convinced him to just roll with it as it is. The rest is history!
This era of neptune was their peak for hip hop. They later became rnb pop aficionados. These beats were so FUCKING hard and exotic while lofi giving them that rude knock.
I knew this was a real song! For the life of me I’ve been trying to find this song for over a decade! I remember as a kid I fell absolutely in love with everything about this song and when I asked people if they knew what this song was called or who sung it, everyone looked at me like I came from another world! Nobody knew! I was almost convinced this song was a fever dream! Until I heard it on the radio earlier today and after a decade i feel relieved I didn’t dream it!!!!! 😂😂😂
1995 - 2000 Was peak black and brown solidarity. I miss Animal Thug so much.
Fck ya ! Highschool was 94-99 for me. This era was insane ! Shaped our generation =)
In nyc was never no black/brown. If you rican, dominican, etc you was w blacks n all was good.
@awyzeguy enlightening. Thank you
Peak of the east west beef 😂
What does black and brown have to do with this?
Who’s here after nore said in a interview that the what what what part was a way of him counting bars for the hook & pharrel told him to keep it 🔥🔥
Facts 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Literally just watched it 😂😂😂
Just seen that
A few minutes ago.
Yups
This joint was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 for a long time. Still is. What ?

N.O.R.E.: They’re all gonna laugh at me.

And did

esp when you smoking on Cherry - Super Thug OG which is a collab between N.O.R.E. and the top-shelf cannabis brand Cherry (they from my city, Denver aka the MILE HIGH city)
this song is the club used to be so heavy back in the day!
What what what what this was a f****** banger and this beat crazy 2024 still banging!!! The limit is the sky
In 1998 nobody was ready for this sound, when this song dropped everyone was like "what is this" this song changed hip hop forever. shoutout to the neptunes for producing this and n.o.r.e. for changing the sound in hip hop forever.
So one of the most underrated songs of all time then?
Allegedly MJ wanted this song and not the songs on JTs Justified album that were first pitched to him(MJ). But this sounds nothing like MJ! It's trash music that had little airplay. MJs Invincible album with neosoul was better for him at the time. 😂
It's reminiscent of Nerds LapDance and Barfight.
NO ONE CARE IN 1998...ESPECIALLY ME AND MY FRIENDS WHEN WE WAS 18 19 20 YEARS OLD AND WE FROM HAMPTON, VA. THIS WAS COOL BUT WASNT A SONG WE BUMPED
THE ONLY TIMED WE LISTEN TO SONGS LIKE THIS IS IF GIRLS WAS AROUND
Tammy Lucas singin "Whaaat what, whaaaaaatt!" Underneath Nore chantin "What-what-what..." is everything!!! 💯
I always tought it was Kelis
Underrated realization
Yes sir. That shit go hard.
I never knew who was singing
Tammy killed that shit
Damn...truly was mistaken thinking that was Kelis.
The Hype Williams era will never be replicated.
" THE LEGEND " HYPE WILLIAMS... todays hip hop surely needs the " hype touch "..
Hype rode the wave that was 90s to early 2thou hiphop. Ask yourself if hype would have been as big without Neptune's timbo missy kanye n busta
Fact this
Agree but many times he was charging 500k for bullshit, I remember Game’s manager or someone like that saw the How We Do video for the first time, and said “wtf we spent half a mill on this shit?”
BIG facts!!
Wow. That neptune sound ruled our lives in 1998-2003.
maybe 97, neptunes did Mase "lookin at me" on the harlem world album.
Mike D. Yeah 97 -2003
and beyond
still does for me
Now there's a 150% true statement
If one beat defined the Neptune's entire sound, its this one. Nore and that beat. One of the best beats ever produced of all times.
Kids don't know how hard this shit banged back in the day
Trust me

DMX would sound good too
Nah that would be Nothin. Countless amount of rappers rapped on that shit
I love my guy Nore as a person, movement etc etc but I dnt wanna hear him rap at all
This beat is sick
This song right here is a classic ! It never gets old ! Gives me chills when that beat drops
This song landed Noreaga on the front page of the Forbes Fortune 300 Magazine, Pharrell lived off the Royalties and Chad got all the ladies.

That tone on keys is so epic. It has the nep sound
This shit so hard

Damn, I remember hearing this all time as a child back then
The chorus alone is fire

Lord Lucan not snoop, Dre and Em around 99/2000 with Chronic 2001 and Slim Shady LP/Marshall Mathers LP
Nope not the 90s
