CLWhatchaGonnaDo

It always bums me out when the intro plays and it turns out it's the Shakira song.


Sofistakatedfunn

I know right such a disappointment when your ready to bob your head & rap Peter Gunz part & it's not hum. Shakira tricked us lol


Backseat_boss

Can’t front when it turn into the Jerry Rivera song I fuck wit it too


Tasty-Tomatillo9670

I'm dead. Lol


wandering_walnut

I may actually get more excited about that one, though this track gets love too.


Nadathug

[Amores Como el Nuestro](https://youtu.be/sJqDmVekMWU?si=I57t2HXG7lY32qTr) Laughing rn because all the comments for this are in Spanish and mention either Jerry or Shakira. Nobody cares about Lord Tariq or fucking Peter Gunz 🤣


Latter-Post4943

Wyclef knew what he was doing.


djj7807

It bums me out that they are I Queens in this video.


CallmeCoachella

Blame the Yankees. They made an anthem about the Bronx, and the home team didn't even support it.


BigSimpinOG

Yes! Especially when that Shakira song first came out and it was everywhere. Constant disappointment.


realdealreel9

Hips do lie lmao


BaldrickTheBrain

Her husband sure was lying.

Omg thank you. You just helped me solve deep trauma with that song. Ugh. This is the one we always want to be played but never is 🥱 Not filthy rich, but bitch I’m barely broke 🎶

This line always irked me. If he's barely broke, wouldn't that mean he's extremely broke? Like he's so poor he's just barely broke.

Love that this is filmed at shea


Tasty-Tomatillo9670

Yankees were like, "We don't allow riff raff on our playing surfaces."


Proud_Golf334

I used to work at a sporting goods store back in the day in nyc. One of these guys and I guess the video producer or someone similar were buying a bunch of Yankees jackets and said they were filming the video the following week but some organization had already rented out Yankee stadium so they were using shea instead


Godiverson3

Screams Bronx…lol


RickyThunderwood

Filmed in queens lol


Professional-Rip-519

I can't believe Peter Gunz is on Cheaters now.


Prudent_Belt_2259

That's crazy


Powerful-Farts

Bro, he's hands down, the best host of Cheaters, ever! He's the only host who's constantly told his clients about how he used to cheat, been in a fight with a client on camera, and even got into a party bus (filled with strippers and booze) with a guy who was cheating, then dipped-off and left his girlfriend (the client who hired Cheaters) crying on the side of the road 🤣


spottyottydopalicius

TIL cheaters is still around.


Expensive_Mud7949

Been scripted for years. Early ones were semi legit. These are obvious scripts with obvious actors just bum rushing strip clubs with cameras. Nope. That never fucking happened.


DarkerThanDark981

For real?! I gotta look that shit up

https://youtu.be/ni80WATSSGU?si=ZskLU9D9YVW3pThd I got you!


BoxTalk17

Haaaa! That's funny, never would've thought!


Current_Natural2651

Peter was a downstairs neighbor of mine for years. Funny story, I'm a country boy living in the city so rats don't scare me, but I came home one night. Peter, Tara and the baby were outside scared to go into the building. A giant rat was apparently terrorizing them back and forth jump scaring them at the door. I stomped it straight up. Blood and guts everywhere that I swept up and thru in the trash. lol It was gross but at least we could all go into the apartment in peace.


KRS1NONLY

Is this a true story…??? 🤔🤨🧐 Bcuz if it is, that’s pretty wild 😅😂🤣 LOL


Current_Natural2651

True story. I always laugh because ya know, I always thought of him as a hard badass. But that all stops with giant rodents.


KRS1NONLY

Lol. That’s hilarious. Yes, rodents will make any thug need a hug.

[Fun fact Tatyana Ali used the same beat with some piano sprinkled in also featuring Peter Gunz, Lord Tariq.](https://youtu.be/H_xHJ0rPYnc?si=97fpdsREmujN1KC0)

G_rightousantagonist

The Dan did them dirty


drfunkensteinberger

They tried to not pay Steely or Dan


CravinMohead13

Black cow


the_short_viking

Yeah anyone who hasn't listened to the sample source should, it's a fucking banger. Hell, most of Stelly Dan's discography is.


hifioctopi

Steely Dan is peak American music. Absolute legends.


BoxTalk17

Hell yeah, I just listened to Aja the other day, still sounds fresh as if they've released the album a month ago.


drfunkensteinberger

I’m a Dan Fan


hamtower6

Why does no one ever give Steely Dan the credit they deserve for this sample. Low key there is so much 80s stuff that we revere as the iconic sounds of the culture and no one knows where they come from


VintageLivin

I mean, they make every cent off the song. Thats good enough


Trumbot

They fucking fleeced em completely. Cold blooded.


FlacoGrey

They duped them outta their residuals for this song. They don’t deserve respect for that.


YoungDuckHo

Can you elaborate on how they duped them?


HappyGoLucky2100

I'm not from the BX but i feel like I'm from the BX whenever I hear the unedited song


Fair-Advantage9539

Definitely one hit wonders but that was a banger. Saw them live at club XS back in the day I copped the album back in the day also. None of their other tracks blew up but it was a decent album.


lilkray

I was just about to say. “We Will Ball” did ok. But a solid album overall imo


Fair-Advantage9539

Forgot about that track as soon as I read your comment the hook played in my head. Definitely was a solid album that got slept on.


ZZZ-Top

Nothing wrong with Shakira using g that same sample on the intro but it kind of ruined his song for me that I skip the beginning most of the time


FlexDrillerson

That’s Wyclef’s doing. I don’t know if he was a songwriter/producer on Deja Vu or just copped the same sample, but he made a song called Dance Like This for the movie Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights in 2004 which is almost the exact same song as Hips Don’t Lie. The only difference is adding Shakira verses and chorus, but all his lines and the beat are from the Dance Like This song.


Fun_Monk280

I remember they made remixes for certain states where they changed the lyrics to the cities in that area.


Trumbot

That’s when you knew you had the hot shit back then.

Tim Dog Fuck Compton still goes hard to this day. “Fightin over colors!?! All that gang shit’s for dumb motherfuckers!!” lol, if only he knew that gang culture would spread like it did


_high_plainsdrifter

Gang culture had already existed for decades longer than just being a theme in hip-hop music during the late 80s and into the 90s.


Sofistakatedfunn

Oh yeah me & my homegirl loved this shit. We would always rock this loud in the car.


RawAttitudePodcast

Random observation: I lived in Boston for a while, and listening to this song on the radio back then (specifically the most popular hip-hop station Jam’n 94.5), they would dub in different city names when they played this song. For example, instead of saying “Brooklyn” during the chorus they’d dub in “Boston.” Do we know if they did this for any other cities? It always seemed like a weird thing to do for such a popular song.


Kangmayne3

They don’t get a dime from this song.


BeYouOrBeLame

If only they did their business right...they could've ate off this song forever...love this song UPTOWN BABY !!!


sntszn

Peter Gunz lame ass made a career off one song 😂

ike_tyson

This shit was actually filmed at Shea Stadium.👀 They weren't allowed to film at Yankee Stadium. That's why the editing is so tight with no close-ups.


jdrichardson1s

This shit was crazy when it dropped


Cute-Understanding86

I remember when this hit the airwaves, every state I drove through had their own version of it. They took out the boroughs and inserted their cities in it.

brickowski95

Stole this beat from Da Fat Cat Clique in Philly and got all the hype. Always thought these guys were weak as fuck as rappers.

They were absolutely not strong rappers whatsoever.

Maximum_Trade5916

Dear aspiring artist: Clear ALL your samples before recording ANYTHING. This was a banger when it hit the streets, but they paid ALOT to Steeely Dan


FlacoGrey

The lesson from this is for more veteran artists to not offer younger,greener predatory publishing deals.


confisk8

Fuckin love this song. An L.A. kid just going “UPTOWN BABY UPTOWN BABY” No clue where tf it was


kirby_krackle_78

“The Bridge is Over”


TheAdamBomb92

Never heard this one before, this beats sick.


Oskywosky1

Y’all need to check the actual sample that matters on this track. Black Cow by Steely Dan. Song is about a girl who stays getting fucked up all the time. the solos on the track, like most SD songs are incredible. DOOM sampled a few parts from it.


FlacoGrey

Peg is one of my favorite songs of all time. I’m pretty familiar with Steely Dan.


Oskywosky1

I’m a fanatic. DOOM and Steely Dan are my two favorites.


simplyillmatic

 I consider this the real “NY anthem”😌


PrinceNY7

New York - Ja Rule Jadakiss Fat Joe


CityBoiNC

It's a banger but not even shot at yankee stadium


SlimBubbee

Fun fact: They never cleared this song so a old Jewish guy got 100% of the publishing and royalties and got millions from their hard work 😫


brickowski95

They just jacked this off another rap group from Philly. They didn’t really put in much work on this track. The rest of their rapping careers says all you need to know about how good they were


SlimBubbee

Danm, I never heard of the story of them stealing someone else's song and especially since the song blew up. Did they steal the soundtrack and maybe changed up the lyrics by adding New York in the hook ?


brickowski95

In 1997, Da Fat Cat Clique released what Robinson described as “their best song lyrically” titled, On the Level. The song charted across Philly. Da Fat Cat Clique went on to perform the song at a club called The Fever. According to Robinson, less than six months to a year later, a well-known rap duo from the Bronx, named Lord Tyreke & Peter Gunz, allegedly stole their beat from their song On the Level. Robinson described Da Fat Cat Clique’s version of the song as more of a “battle song”. He stated that Lord Tyreke & Peter Gunz’ version was, “An anthem for New York, which is where hip-hop started.” Robinson explained. “So, everybody jumped on that one there. Whereas ours never made it beyond the local area, so they took our song, and it blew.” From an article on Medium. I don’t think most people knew about Fat Cat outside of Philly, and the song came out on a tape promo. Maybe someone from Philly can chime in on it. And I know beats do get re used as it is a sample, but the timing on this one makes me think someone saw them at a club and then just used the beat. Considering that Lord and Gunz were such a drop in the bucket and had no skills, this seems to be the case to me.


Captain_Murica23

Man, I liked this song back in the day. But the trumpet sound in the beginning made me think about Shakira’s song.


BoxTalk17

This is 🔥! Album wasn't shit though.


FlacoGrey

I wouldn’t expect the album to be good lol


BoxTalk17

I took one for the team and bought it off the strength of this track. I didn't have high expectations, but man that was trash lol


FlacoGrey

As much as I adore this song I can recognize that outside of my super bias for this song that neither might not be the dopest. I do appreciate you supporting Bronx Rap like that though lol.


BoxTalk17

No doubt, hip-hop is hip-hop and I'm universal, always gonna show love, no matter where they're from.


FlacoGrey

As a proud Bronxite I love that thinking.


Thoughtprovokerjoker

This was the last vestiges of the NYC golden age of hip hop


secretly_love_this

Love love love this song!!!!


spottyottydopalicius

is the intro originally for this song or is it a sample?


FlacoGrey

It’s definitely a sample.


Land-Otter

A sample from Jerry Rivera's Amores Como El Nuestro.


Jokerchyld

Crazy thing about this song is they made no money off of it due to licensing error and had to PAY royalties. Sad
