Lyrical lyrics that's blowing lyrics out my larynx
Chubby competitor, quick to kick a chump in the chest
Yes, it's Bad Boy, (Right) hard to the core
Lord!, Me can't take it no more
Out
a lot of the first Spice one album (east bay gigity gigity gangksta)
Super Cat - "Ghetto Red Hot"(remix)
Da Youngstaz ft Lt Stitchie - "Honeycomb hide out"
Fat Joe da Gangsta - Watch the Sound

Born Jamericans - Yardcore(album)
A subsidiary of Forward records, which was owned and run by reggae singer/producing legend Phill Pratt
All this besides Perry's early sampling days at Black Ark, NY/Jamaican Kool Herc's direct influence, and the historical Uroy/DJ thing...
