Grand Puba - Fat Rat

From the soundtrack of somewhat successful movie "Strictly Business" The tagline on the movie poster reads: "A movie about a kid who goes from the mailroom to the boardroom by improving relations between a mover and a shaker."

Wonderful.

I dunno, even in 1991, it's a real stretch of the imagination to believe Tommy Davidson as a "kid."

Lately I've been stocking up on a lot of the great 90s soundtracks but I CANNOT find this one for the life of me! pbase36: If u have the soundtrack can u post Jodeci's track "Let's Fly" up? It used to be on here, but I guess whoever posted it took it down.

@shumaen yep. I think someone was saying that saying the ooh la la was from Fugees, when that hook is from Teena Marie. The sample is from Fonda Rae.
