Nice little run of songs I love, but wasn't quite sure were going to make it.

Me too on Late Nite Tip, still have major love for Stay Fly. xp
Went on a cruise for our honeymoon and we shared dinner time with this other young couple. He wore that EXACT skull shirt that Juicy is wearing in the video. I was like "that shirt is fly y y y y y y y y" and he was very surprised that I knew anything about it. I hit him over the head with some of my hip hop knowledge for like 20 minutes. We were homies on the cruise for the next 4 days.

That's messed up DJP. Opening old wounds.

I'm kinda tired of passing me by -- seems like a track lots and lots of djs play out these days -- but it was one of the first rap songs I memorized and I remember listening to it on the radio, and I def could never understand picking the mystikal/joe version above it because when that dropped I remember feeling like everyone had forgotten the original (much less true now obv)
