Never Forget: Beenie Man - "Who Am I? (Sim Simma)"

[Taadow]

Never Forget is a thread series where you and I - your host, Taadow - revisit hits that have been placed in the attic of our minds. Today, Beenie Man - "Who Am I?"




"B-B-BUT WAS IT REALLY A HIT??"

Billboard UK Singles Chart Peak: #10
Billboard Hot Rap Singles Peak: #6
Billboard Hot R&B Singles Peak: #15

AFTERMATH:

- This is the one that got the modern dancehall music wave poppin' off;
it switched from the roots reggae flavor to this kinda thing. Rappers started name-checkin'
this, so the transistion was smooth.

Lotta folk now are making a big deal about carribean-flavor tracks, it ain't new.

Everybody was saying Sim Simma or askin who got the keys in their raps after this lol

I'm glad this classic hasn't been remade into some bullshyt, faux dancehall, pop shyt like others nowadays.

You're forgetting the line before that, so it went

"How can I
Make love to a fella?
In a rush, pass me the keys to mi truck?"

The way the bars were set confused people lol
