This song is one of my fav. sampled hip hop songs, and The DOC was such a beast on the mic, all before his accident. MJ and Foster Sylver was heavily compared to MJ at that age because of the voice and singing style. Big up to your sister for passing on the knowledge. My fav. reactions is when you recognize the hip hop song that was sampled from the original. There's a cool cover of "Misdemeanor" by jazz artist Ahmad Jamal, also sampled for other hip hop songs. Another great reaction J!!!
