This is already well-appreciated music, guys. Stop with the criticism about "This music is better than that bulls**t". Why can't music just be music? Let's just listen to what we want to hear and shut the f**k up about what we don't. Music wasn't made for that.
I looooooooove this song just like I did back then, its just that I never really liked the sort of woe is me self effacing lyrics. I think this song would have had more legs....pun intended if he left out the whole I'm short and I cant get dates parts.it kind of keeps it in novelty territory.
I hate how now and days you have Katie Perry, Jonas Brothers, That fruit cup Justin Beiber I don't even recognize the correct spelling of that chipmunks name and thumbs up if you believe when Hannah Mangina is all grown up she's going to get coked up like Lindsey Lohan and all the other child stars before her.
@Reignsmb mmm doesn't get me off then any other troll comments i go through every single day. this ones getting old. Thanks for your time good sir with the baby penis.
@bjarnold27 nobody. this was an instrumental By Bernard Wright in 1981. Bernard Is The Same Guy That Did Who Do You Love. The Song That Everybody Samples . Same Album Where Snoop Dogg Sampled This Is The Hustla's.
@DJBrokenHigh Wrong Man Check Bernard Wrights 1981 Album. Only Thing That Skee Lo Added Was The Whistles And Scratches. I Never Said Skee Didn't Rock It.
yeah, this was Skee-Lo, not Too Short. This song doesn't represent Skee-Lo very well. Way too commercail for him. I used to rhyme with him at The Good Life and Project Blowed in LA, and Skee-Lo would pulverize Too Short in a freestyle battle, crush him. He was one the most phenominal freestylers I'd ever heard. Too bad this was his mainstream debut track. But it brings back memories!
You can trust a well sourced Wikipedia page, especially the one for this song where it references this song's place on several international charts during 1995/96, the single's release date and it's 1996 Grammy nomination. Or you can just trust me, cuz I was 12 the summer it came out and remember it like it was yesterday. Plus, hiphop production from the 80s didn't sound anything like this...no idea how you could even think that. BTW I still wish I was a little bit taller, and a baller.
@southshore516 - yep. Defo came out in the nineties. I worked in Riverside when this came out and it was well covered in the Riverside paper. Cause he used to live there. Even I heard about it, and I don't even like most rap.
that version is gay as fuck... that guy completely butchered this song. Now don't get wrong, I'm not the type to hate on every remake but that cover was just terrible.
fuck fuck fuck what game is this from??
