Facts. I never heard of this track until it popped up on the algorithm and I’m a Fat Joe fan 🔥 well this was released before I was born but still fire

[@alejandror765]

You know this isn’t the original lol so there’s another one you gotta go find lol

[@EnragedTofu]

Same. Crazy as an 80-90s era hip-hop fan who worked at Tower Records, seen a lot of the dudes live & was an avid Premier fan back then too. How? Better late than never.

[@desktopshorts7411]

That little ‘Bucktown’ sample before Smif N Wessun jumped on is one of the many reasons why Preemo is awesome

[@wolfboy20]

Fucking Facts! That part hits me everytime! Premier is Legendary!!

[@nathanjenkins6694]

And jeru's one 🔥🔥 legendary

Smif N Wessun are dope AF

Fat Joe is a legend in this Hip Hop shit. He's been around a long time and I've witnessed it all from the beginning.

[@veksone77]

I saw him perform waaaay back in the day at a little club called The Wave in Staten Island. "You gotta flow Joe You Gotta Gotta Let'em know Joe!!"

[@PeekaBooo24]

Back when Joe was Fat and Phat

[@kammerspielfilms]

Represent still goes hard. Fat Joe is the OG and paved the way for Big Pun. Joe was the first Latino rapper to get a major record deal.

[@TakBonez]

I was sleeping on his earlier music for years, because I only knew him as the "Lean Back" dude. Even though I was a kid in the 90's, and was raised on Rap and R&B.

[@ryoamora8655]

Mad Lion's part is bananas...So take it easy! Doug E Fresh's beat box blend in with that sick bassline is craziness. Miss 90's REAL Underground rap.

[@cljacob2371]

I remember when I was visiting my Dad in LA in Summer 1995 this track was requested on The Box like 7x per day, I couldn't get enough of it. I went to Sam Goody and grabbed this album (D&D Project) and Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Links. Amazing era for music!

yeah Jeru did not receive the credit that he deserved. His delivery, his content, some of the best ever.

[@slaveofAllah4300]

MrJesusdoesntsave i was thinkin the same thing

[@Woodrow512]

He maybe was underrated for the general public, but he was always very well respected among his peers, Biggie ranked him a 10/10, he only gave that grade to Jeru and Nas
