Oh, I remember this. It was my introduction to Kool Keith and the first time that I really had to dig for beats like, hard core. Man, as I recall the record they had out at the time was Funk Your Head Up and the cut off that record was not the one that you hear here in the video. This tune is a Beatminerz  remix that came out later. I NEVER found this version of the song. For real, I went the whole of my hip-hop youth having only heard this song the one or two times that I actually saw the video and the album cut was pretty wack. The whole of the record was pretty wack as i recall. I threw it out of Shawndra Steven's truck window in a fit of frustration at how shitty it was. 

    I don't know if that's something they still do nowadays but back then they'd play a version of the song on MTV, then the version you'd get on the album would be a totally different mix and later, like weeks later they'd come out with a Casingle  of the "video edit'. Total okey-doke. That scam used to drive me bananas. I can't tell you the amount of times I fell for it.

    Me and my man Jesse went up and down our North Bay beat route looking for this, amongst other things of course but we never found it. Ever. That's so weird. I only recently learned that it was the Beatminerz remix that I was looking for that might have helped me cop it but I imagine I'd have bought any version of Poppa Large that I saw at the store.

    I think that it was amongst the first MP3s I downloaded with Napster. Napster, that was a brief but fun era. I found so many cool tunes that way. What I liked was that you could see the songs that other people had. Gave you ideas about what was out there. Good times. Sort of. 

    The video was totally wild for a hip-hop cut. It's all scary like Keith was in an insane asylum and is being spun around for some reason. I can't imagine that would help if you were all messed up in the head. I don' t think that's the best place for you Kool. He must not have had good insurance. Prolly none. Anyway, it's a cool song. Enjoy.
