wallyz, that term goes way, way back. Some think 1800's-- definitely well before 1991.

God I love this video. I remember running home from school, which let out at 3:10, sprinting to catch Yo MTV Raps which started at 3:30. I knew I had a good day when the vaunted trifecta of Pop Goes the Weasel, Night of the Living Baseheads, and Scenario would appear on the same show.

How Scenario was not on VH1's recent 100 greatest Hip-Hop songs ever is a travesty!!!

I think this video was the inspiration for Pro Tools. Could be wrong.

Earliest source of the term North Cakalaka of North Carolina in my experience. Anyone know the etymology of that term?

I always wondered whether Hood was the first rapper to drop the "two tears in a bucket" line on an LP.

We need some sort of hip hop lyrical search internet database for line attribution props.

One must also remember that this was the heyday of Arsenio, who may have gotten 2000 shout-outs in various hip-hop albums from 1989-1993.

Chocolate-y choco? The chocolate chicken?

BTW, my Macintosh back in college couldn't pull that shit off.

My hip-hop devotion peaked with Busta on the original "Scenario." One of those moments whose absence in only more painful when you try to duplicate it (sorry, '92). I think it was Thomas Wolfe who said "You can't say 'rowr rowr like a dungeon dragon' again."
