This song was the first Hip Hop song I actually remember hearing. This or Thong Song, both of which still hold up (in very different ways). I remember this coming on the radio when I was on the bus in 6th grade and singing along and all the high school girls thought I was cute. I got bullied a lot in 5th grade so the older girls going off on anybody who messed with me on the bus felt good for 6th grade and gave me some confidence.

That said, I think this song would be better without the 2nd to last chorus. Dude is fine but it always feels so out of place to me.
