Oh I know what you mean, no it's not Mc lyte in this song or video, Postive k was in Mc lyte's video for I'm not having it, I checked it, cause this song came out after I'm not having it.
In Squarese for you non-hipsters, Pos and his cohorts notice some attractive women, whom they think are flirting with the wrong people (that is to say, not them). The three men are members of the Nation of Gods and Earths (go look it up), which is why they call each other God. One of the men says that Pos should try to hit on at least one of the women. He agrees and goes over to them--the dialog of which is the song's lyrics. Peace.
Those guys in the beginning with Positive K refer to the three women he is trying to get with as the "three joints", I guess it is a slang for a pretty girl. I also love the 100 bill shirt, pfft
Actually, that's not her voice at all. It is in fact, Positive K's tweaked out voice. Regardless, this song is amazing and is proof why hip hop sucks today.
love love love this song. my 9 year old daughter listens to all my old skool and loves it. to me its better and cleaner. we sing this song to the top of our lungs and have so much fun with it...lol.
I have the album, she is in the credits. I also still have the 12in from Ultimix back when I would spin it in the clubs - guess what? She is on there too.
I'm sorry but I need you to post a link to the image showing that is MC Lyte on this song. I've always been told that it was Positive K's voice tweaked. If it is Lyte it's TWEAKED to shit. And if it was they should've kept her o.g. voice would've sounded even doper than it is now. but yea. link to album credits please for THIS SONG.
No, it is NOT MC Lyte. She collaborated with Pos-K on an older song called "I'm Not Havin' It," which appeared on the 1988 compilation album "The First Priority Music Family Basement Flavor." The subject of that song, however, is the same, which may be why many are confused. Peace.
Haha...this song cracks me up. And I have to roll my eyes remembering me and friends thinking we were hot shit and using the lines like" all I remember is excuse me miss, you can't get a girl like me with a line like this..." Lucky we didn't get bitch slapped. Haha
See, even younger cats of the newer generation agree that this old school music is better than what out now, so who is buying all the new crap? Maybe if sales went to 0, they would revert back to some better older styles, at least lyrically...some lyrical substance would be a miracle.
I like this one....This was good in my days. I wonder if teen rappers would like to learn from him? Today's talent is crap and fake. This video is real talent.
I tell you I heard this song somewhere back in the 90's and loved from the first time, I was laughing all the way, but since it had not much publicity could not get it until I seen it here.
