I remember recording this on my VCR around '89 or '90, whenever it came out, from "Pump it Up". One of the most under the radar hip hop artists, at least on the East Coast where I'm from. 35 years later, it still holds up, 35 years later and Too Short is still killin' it .

I believe Too Short produced this song. He produced his own music until Ant Banks came on board with Shorty The Pimp

It probaly was the Dangerous Crew that did the trak might've sampled sum funk too.

For me this song brings chills through my body because even though it's 30 years old, it was dedicated to me and my four brothers (5 kids in the house, no food to eat). We lived in this exact same neighborhood, Dog Town, in West Oakland, when he shot this video. I remember the two burnt dummies on the swings from when we'd walk to Hoover elementary school every morning. The wino pushing the basket was named "Thunderbird". This video literally takes me 30 years back home!

[@shabakahouse2125]

I remember this as well, one of the houses belong to my grandma, the burnt dummies, the bad ash kids, and violence.

[@strickeN96]

I can't help but wonder, how are you and your brothers doing? I hope you're all doing well!

[@pattygravs6354]

Oh my God that that comment gave me chills. When this song came out I lived up in Oakland and the house that Gus Williams the SuperSonics owned back in the 80s. I am white and my husband was black and we got hooked up into the gang life and crack cocaine back in the day. It's good you are doing okay, and that some people came out of the game alive so many many years later.

[@glowingdawn9179]

It was also set to play (on PS2) when you first went to get a haircut and some food with Ryder. Best intro to a game because you're not even doing missions you're just cruising the hood passing prostitutes, drug dealers and gang members, with your homie getting some food listening to some classic tunes. Captured the feeling very well.
