[Bugsmoran]

 

[poppastoppa]

15 at the time. It was dope but not really a banger like that

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

To me, imo, it was a crossover song that was aimed at the ladies.

Redman, nas, jay z, heltah skeltah, the roots, cella dwellas, lil kim, Mobb deep, outkast, and de la soul all had classics that year. I'm sure I'm missing a few with that. But then again Baltimore was an east coast market.

No doubt it got spin though.

 

[3rdWorld]

Awful song..
beat, verses and chorus just go off in different directions. Just doesnt gel.

 

[Mensch Fontana]

was on repeat on 92.3 and 106 shyt has kci and jojo on it. It was a hit

 

[TEH]

Dude you juelzing you said most didn't care and people would be revisionist then said well real nikkas didn't care but it was number one on the billboard charts people cared lol.

Pop fans cared

West Coast fans cared

how are you not understanding me

Hip hop heads didn’t fukk with it

 

[Brolic Scholar]

It went to #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks

2Pac How Do U Want It/California Love Chart History

Like Johnny "J" said, 'Pac rapped about everything in this song (politics, fame, bytches, etc) and still made it hot

'Pac was on fire at the time, K-Ci & Jojo were coming off Jodeci's classic 2nd album 'The Show, The After Party, The Hotel' and Johnny "J" laced a classic twist of Quincy Jones' "Body Heat" record

Huh?! That wasn’t Jodeci’s second album. This was and it’s a classic R&B album.




1996, I was a freshman at LSU. I was into all hip hop. I wasn’t about to choose a Coast. I played Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, Wu-Tang, Tupac, Snoop, Dogg Pound, MC Eiht, etc.



Anyway, All Eyez on Me and Muddy Waters by Redman were my clique’s go to smoke session albums. I can’t remember what was popular in the clubs then, but I remember when Elevators by OutKast dropped, it changed the game. That shyt got played 3 times in a row at a club one night and errrrrbody was singing the hook and vibing out.
