6th track off Brooklyn rappers 3rd Bass' second LP, "Derelicts of Dialect". Released in 1991.
The song's message was similar to "Gas Face", voicing criticism towards the many mainstream commercial rap artists that had been gaining attention in the early 1990s (such as Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer).
The song features funk samples from the J.B.'s and Stevie Wonder as well as rock samples of The Who's "Eminence Front", and the foundation sample was from Peter Gabriel's #1 hit, "Sledgehammer". Production came from John Gamble, Geeby Dajani, and Dante Ross (noted for their groundbreaking work on Brand Nubian and Grand Puba's debut albums).
The music video featured Henry Rollins as Vanilla Ice.
Number 70 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.

1991! Gotta love 90's rap. You just can't beat it with today's garbage.

Ten years later and this song still has relevance. Look at the pop trash out there who call themselves real mc's: Kanye, Lil Wayne, will.i.am., even Jay-Z.
