Never Forget: Nine - "Whatchu Want?"

[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 Nine - "Whutcha Want".



"B-B-BUT WAS IT REALLY A HIT??"
Billboard Hot 100 Peak: #50
Billboard Hot R&B / Hip-Hop Songs Peak: #32
Billboard Hot Rap Singles Peak: #3
Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales Peak: #8

Aftermath:

- this song is one of the... "hoodie and timbs" singles in the middle of
the era where Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep an'em are said to run. And yet, it's one of the
biggest singles from it. So much so, that random acts from different genres did
remixes of it.

 

[Lord Mecca]

Definite classic. This is from my record music videos on VHS days. I remember praying that this was going to come on so I could record it... verified and certified banger.

I'm the man untestable
With the extra terrestrial - flow
Four fifty six ceelo
Crack the top off the forty ounce bottle
I'm not the one to followwww... I'm not the role modelllll



NEVER FORGET.

 

[Run Up]

Classic, classic song. Made me want to actually cop a jeep at one point when I was a youngin


Always 'ed at the fact that he stressed "A ILL POSSE" instead of "An Ill Posse". Don't know why but it always made me laugh

Sit back and relax and plan my attack

Always liked Nine. Lying King is a great track about emcee's exaggerating & lying on records. He also did this one track that I can't find anywhere. It's sample came from the Chicago Bulls entrance music from the Jordan era. It dropped around 2003/4.

I got both cds....Nine was that dude

that last verse of the song..he kinda snapped on that

Be like elmer j. fudd with the mansion and the yacht
Brand new glock non-stop hip-hop
Remote control boombox lampin on my dresser
The god ain't no lesser as the pressure comes to test ya
Hundred pound weight around the neck, daily
Nuff treasons nuff reasons like philip bailey
Can't get enough of that funky stuff
Rhymin astronomical, original, shyt is phenomenal
Heat up the ghetto put the pedal to the metal
Speed like racer treat you like a wack rhyme and erase ya
Right off the pape i roll a big fat spliff
Four-fifth on the hip, heineken in the grip shyt i'm ready
Get the keys for the jeep, let's bounce
Cruise avenues, get some brews and sing the blues with the
Funkmaster flex cassette in the deck
I'm in effect i move my neck while son gets wreck
Oh what a feeling, i'm on the wheels of steel and
I snatch up some skins for some sexual healing
Erything's kosher copasctetic, groovy hip-hop moves me
Soothes me, i'm letting off like an uzi
But first steps a doozy and bruise me
Now i'm choosy before i start to freak it like a floozy
I wanna get big get paid true stunt
You know what i want!
