As an Oak Cliff native that currently resides in Houston, i must admit that Mo City Don was constantly in rotation. A state anthem for sure

8:47 Big T came to my dad, Big Mello’s house to get help with writing the book to this song! My younger brother and I was in the living room watching Dragon Ball Z. It had to have been between 4:45-5pm because middle school use to let out at 3:15 and I would get dropped off at my aunts by 4pm and hope that my parents would pick me up to be home in time to watch DBZ at 4:30. Anyways, Big T bangs on the burglar bar gate on the front door and says “say Mello, you got a minute I got something I want you to hear”. My dad tells my brother and I to go in our room and play the game but we was mad because we didn’t have cable in the back. (We had bootleg channel 99 tv guide channel cable in the living room lol). Later we hear them turning up singing “beeeeeeeter way, better way better way yeeeaaaaah” heard the song on the radio maybe like a month after that.
