Remember how many times you rewound the first sequence of this song to see if Aaron Hall really said what you thought he said?

(Kinda like the intro on Don Killuminati where we were convinced Pac said, “Suge shot me.” Hmm… a thought for next week eh?)

Then you thought he would do it again, but figured it was something they could only get away with once…

It was something of an urban legend.

Everybody and their mother’s sister’s cousin was talking about it. On the phone, at school, at recess… it was a hot topic until you got your own tape and heard it with your own ears.

And they still ain’t learned… Hard to believe it was sixteen years ago when The Click dropped this gem. Even harder to believe they did so and it would still apply today.

The visuals from this video are both entertaining and nostalgic. It’s a reminder of how bomb the early ’90s were and a blueprint of how NOT to act.

Pickin’ up a breezie with three kids off the street? Not pimpin’ homie.

Buyin’ her a designer bag before seeing the inside parts of her apartment… then eating breakfast in bed the next morning? Not player mayne.

If you already know, it’s par for the course. If you don’t, pay attention. Pay close attention.

It’s been rumored that 2pac fathered children prior to his untimely death. His penchant to deliver verses that referenced his desire to either plant a seed, or nurture one that was already here, didn’t do much to eliminate random theories either.

For example:

“I been really wantin’ babies, so I can see a part of me that wasn’t always shady/ don’t trust my lady/ Cause she’s a product of this poison ” (”So Many Tears)

&

“Somebody save me, Lost and crazy, Scared to drop a seed, Hopin’ I ain’t cursed my babies” (”Smile”)…

Both suggested Pac desperately wanted a child, but couldn’t stand to see his own offspring subjected to the vile world he had come to know. The idea that his son or daughter might inherit some of his detriments was too much to cope with, but was it too late?

We’ve been here before… but so what!

Lakers in 5? You gotta believe to achieve! Mark our words or see us eat them tomorrow. Either way, this anthem is a also a tribute to the Lakeshow and their push toward a repeat championship!

As far as the song/video, it was a good time in the Bay when this track dropped. Real good. Everybody was on fire! Everyone was original and there was nothing but good music bumping from the trunk.

Before the funk with Short got too out of control, before the issues with C-Note. Before the split from Virgin and the fallout with P, there was the “I Got Five On It” G-Mix featuring legends such as E-40, Spice 1, Dru Down and Richie Rich!

Unlike Snoop Dogg and the rest of the young thuggin’ generation, Rob Base took the “I Wanna Rock” pledge to heart. He actually got out there on the block with the rest of the hood and ‘rocked’ with his people.

Not to slight Snoop or his single, which is quickly turning into 2010s version of “A Milli” with recent additions from the likes of Jay Z and Luda (”King’s version) and Skillz? It bangs with a capital B (no offense Cuz).

But there was something about going to a house party back in the early ’90s, pushing up on that special someone, then gyrating until your body went limp, all because of this song.

It gave dudes a reason to gig and chicks a reason to shake what their Mama gave em.

And without further adieu…
