in the hoooooooooooooooooooooood

jim, Sunday, 27 January 2008 00:41 (eighteen years ago)

as long as it's understand? lol

johnny crunch, Sunday, 27 January 2008 00:42 (eighteen years ago)

This is a great tune, both Pras and ODB really shine on it. Id I could vote for a couplet, I'd go for "strike with the forces of King Solomon / lettin' bygones be bygones, and so on, and so on", the way Pras says it just sounds so impressive. "Let me put on my screwface" is a great line too.

Tuomas, Sunday, 27 January 2008 00:44 (eighteen years ago)

partyin with girls that never die, you see I was

deej, Sunday, 27 January 2008 00:45 (eighteen years ago)

I love how ODB uses his verse to summarize the plot of the movie, Will Smith-style.

Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 27 January 2008 00:46 (eighteen years ago)

My eyes is sore, bein a senator

J0rdan S., Sunday, 27 January 2008 01:08 (eighteen years ago)

Their all fucked up and dirty now and I use them when doing dirty work.

The Reverend, Sunday, 27 January 2008 02:28 (eighteen years ago)

Diplomatic legalese, ftw.

lol random late-90s reference

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 27 January 2008 02:34 (eighteen years ago)

i did this at karaoke night once with my hot blonde friend singing the chorus....

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 27 January 2008 02:55 (eighteen years ago)

no wonder you got kicked out amirite

gr8080, Sunday, 27 January 2008 03:27 (eighteen years ago)

nah actually I was warmly received!

Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 27 January 2008 03:30 (eighteen years ago)

"hot" "blonde" "friend"

jim, Sunday, 27 January 2008 03:43 (eighteen years ago)

no, he was probably right not to put "friend" in quotes

deej, Sunday, 27 January 2008 03:50 (eighteen years ago)

I'd go for "strike with the forces of King Solomon / lettin' bygones be bygones, and so on, and so on", the way Pras says it just sounds so impressive.

Tuomas OTM. It's hard to not give ODB the top marks here, but Pras is just killer on that line. I have a dopey mashup type song that samples this track (you can stream it here, "Hours and Hours") and I ended up chopping out several other lines so that the 'verse' could end on "and so on and so on." Great stuff.

This is one of the best singles of the 90s IMO. The whamming "dunna! dunna! dunna! dunna!" part of the beat, oh man.

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 27 January 2008 05:35 (eighteen years ago)

is bullworth any good?

Creeztophair, Sunday, 27 January 2008 06:13 (eighteen years ago)

It's very preachy and uneven, but the good bits (like Warren Beatty rapping on television about social healthcare) make it worth watching.

Tuomas, Sunday, 27 January 2008 10:12 (eighteen years ago)

If you're really into wincing, yeah it's great.

Bodrick III, Sunday, 27 January 2008 12:50 (eighteen years ago)

In our house we like to sing "Ghetto Superstar/In a frilly bra/You can't drive a car/Well not very far"

But we are dicks, tbf.

I have a thread on it. It was close to being really good, but lost steam about halfway through I thought.
