This was a discussion on Hot97 in the early 2000's. Hot 97 changed its format from dance/freestyle to Hip Hop in 1993. And prior to this song Hot 97, had a certain standard, it didnt allow low brow bamma fukkery on its airways....U didnt hear songs from that whole 2Live Crew/Luke movement in the early 90's .....Sir Mix A Lot had girls putting them on the glass back in the day but Hot97 wasnt having it.......Now you did hear Scarface and you did hear Snoop because NYC only allowed quality....... but when early 1997 hit , the song "My Baby Daddy" won battle of the beats for a week on Hot97 which didnt even sound right(Even Angie Martinez had to sigh), so now we had this bamma ass song getting heavy airplay in NYC. The high standard was now loward. Soon afterward Master P and his "lacking of hot lyrics" crew started getting heavy rotation in NYC airways and its been downhill ever since. Once FunkMaster Flex(The man who sh*tted on Shaq and Deon Sanders because they were trying to rap in the mid 90's ) started spinning E.I. by Nelly, the NYC standard had changed forever and the flood gates of fukkery and wack rappers had fully infultrated on a mainstream level because Hot97 was the standard. And it all started with this one song. Listening to this song now....It fits so well with the current climate of ratchetness but back then it didnt. The bamma-ness of this song (WHO DAT IS??....THAT AINT NOBODY!!!, yeah because the baby daddy is a nobody) was something that was kinda looked down on by a few from the previous generation(The same way Black folks who cant talk right on camera is still looked down on). This current generation tho, welcomes this type of ratchetness
Now I fuxx with Tariq Nasheed all day and its obvious he was younger in the video and back then we didnt know who he was and he's obviously on another level to where he wouldnt even be apart of such nonsense in this climate...But I find it a little bit funny and ironic how years later dude is the advocate for anti-rachetness but was in the 1 video that opened the floodgates for ratchet acceptance in Hip Hop.
