Word up! That song made EVERYBODY stop what they were doing and had us glued to the radio (or for some, online). Made me feel like a kid again lolWhat was crazy is that it was instant praise too. They played that shyt at Dyckman during one of the bigger games of the summer later that night and people almost stopped doing what they were doing to hear that song. Nobody was shooting around. Nobody was on line for food. When that song hit, Hov and Ye might as well have been performing at half court.
I remember when he premiered Nas Hate Me Now. Up until the Otis premier, Hate Me Now had the record for most bombs dropped on a record.
It's funny I was sitting in Queens and I litterally pulled over when he dropped it. I was getting mad as hell too cause I was like "Drop the damn song already". Till this day I love "Otis" something about it. It had that "Blueprint/College Dropout" feel to it. I knew it was going to win a Grammy the minute I heard Otis Redding's voice. Amazing song. Video was fire too. But Flex was a damn fool that day dropping bombs and shyt. lol.
"NYC LISTEN TO ME!!! IF YOUR BY A CONVIENCE STORE, STICK YOUR HAND INTO THE CASH REGISTER!! THEIR MONEY IS YOUR MONEY AS OF RIGHT NOW!!!" Explosions
Flex premieres are the shyt. One of my favorite ever was his of THE DIPLOMAT'S - SALUTE last summer....shyt took like 30 minutes and he ran back "Vampire life true blood, SPOOKY!" like 100 times
that, and his debut of nore's I cant nothin for ya last summer were crack. He was killing it then
