For a white guy growing up in the Cleveland burbs, I can tell you this cut was played often and LOUD when it came out. We were never into rap per se, but some groups found a way in our boomboxes. I can still remember pounding warm Miller Highlifes in my buddy's basement as this song played. Good times.
Truly one of the most important genre-defining hybrid songs of modern times.
Good write up, timothius.
