Coming from Holland, I was 20 years old on an internship in New York in the summer of 1990. And they played this song éverywhere, especially in the hottest club at that time. Which was called Nell's, where you would find the major superstars snorting coke at the toilet. Needless to say, I instantly fell in love with the tune and I have been A Tribe Called Quest fan ever since.
