I was maybe 15 sitting in my room in the summertime listening to my favorite underground radio station in NYC. The wind is blowing through my window. I am writing raps to recite to my homies the next day in high school because the "Nicer" I am as an MC the more it keeps me out of trouble with the Thugs. Talent kept us safe and rhyming saved our lives. This track was a masterclass in Flowing for young kids learning themselves. God bless! I am 45 sitting in my house with my kids in safely in their rooms, Hip-Hop saves lives!

This is one of those songs that I mention to someone when I want to show them just how much of a hip hop head I really am. You either have to have been from that era or have seen the movie Kids to know about this track. It’s such a gem. Rap from 1993-1998 is still some of the best and purest form of music ever made. This song is testament of that time. Don’t think E-Rule made anything of major significance after this single dropped.

This is what Bruce Lee meant when he said be water. Erule is flowing like water over this track. I wonder what happened to him. I think I seen one full album from him called Cold Currentz but it didn’t get no promotion that I know of like this single. Really baffles my mind how he didn’t blow up back then. In this Era he would get looked over for the wack entertainment sh*t. I don’t even call Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, NBA Youngboy, etc Hip-Hop/Rap. It’s entertainment and that’s it.
