Never Forget: Mack 10 - "Backyard Boogie"

[Taadow]

Never Forget is a thread series where you and I - your host, Taadow - will reflect on songs that were
hits that people seem to have put in the attic. Today, we look at Mack TEEYEN, The Chicken Hawk - "Backyard Boogie".






"B-B-BUT WAS THIS REALLY A HIT??"
Billboard Hot 100 Peak: #37
Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks Peak: #23
Billboard Hot Rap Single Peak: #5


Aftermath:

- this is Mack 10's biggest hit.
You: "What?? Really?" This is bigger than "Foe Life"? "Nothin' But The Cavi Hit"? "Only In California"?
"Connected 4 Life"?
Yep. Bigger than all those. I didn't think so either...

- people only pronounce "EN-go-WUHUD" like this now. lol

- "Backyard Boogie" used to just mean cheap weed. Now squares think you're just talkin' about a party.

 

[R.O. Double]

I had a VHS tape that was a copy from someone's camcorder who was at the making of this video.

shyt was dope, I remember that it started with this broad with a big ass who had on a pair of American flag bikin bottoms and some jeans that were sagging so she could showcase that ass.

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

Song was ok...

But Mack 10's greatest song was "Mack 10 is the lick, west side is the clique"...that beat was sick.

This song is a west coast classic.
