That 1997-1998 stretch that gave us "Up Jumps Da Boogie", "Luv 2 Luv" and "Clock Strikes" was crazy and underrated. Then there were the respective remixes (or original) to each of those songs that went just as hard. Welcome To Our World is one of the only albums where the remixes and originals existed on the same album and all of them were completely different aside from the hook. Magoo was no musical genius, but was a fun listen.
I've always felt they should've dropped a group (Tim, Mag, Missy, Ginuwine, Aaliyah, Playa) album in '98 right after Playa's album right before Tim's solo disc. Then had Tim's Bio drop and follow up with a group album with Tim, Magoo and Missy (despite the lyrics theres no denying the chemisty them three had with each other plus them 97/98 Timbo beats were heat) They could've dropped those album, then start the 2nd wave (100% Ginuwine, Missy's Da Real Word) throughout 99.

This would've worked. Timbaland and Missy spent '98 giving classics away to the Dr. Dolittle Soundtrack and Why Do Fools Fall In Love Soundtrack. "Are You That Somebody" could've definitely worked as a single to a Super Friends compilation. Love Nicole Wray, but "Make It Hot" being the sole Timbo production on the album could've worked as nice follow-up to "Are You That Somebody". They also just threw the "Hit Em Wit Da Hee" remix out there without a home, which could've worked as buzz single before dropping "Are You That Somebody". I mean, those songs dropped in that order in real time anyway.

They were Da Bassment crew. Da Supafriendz was Skillz, Mowf, Lonnie B, Kalonji and more but it's only the first three now.

Magoo wasn’t the best rapper but he didn’t need to be. Not everyone has to be a lyrical titan. Some people’s purpose is just to add to the song, whether it’s their voice, cadence/tone, or flow. He succeeded in those categories, specifically on those late 90’s Timbo tracks. You could never deny the chemistry on them.

Was their crew really called the Super Friends? Because another crew in VA had that same name. Mad Skillz, Lonnie B, and Danger Mowf called themselves the Supafriendz at the same time
