Release Notes
------------------

I labeled this a Promo because of 2 reasons, 1. there is a small cut on the side of the back cover. A lot of Retail CD Singles were used as Promos to save on costs and with Roc-A-Fella records just starting up at that time, it's probably what they did. 2. This came into the radio station I was working at, at the time it came out and mostly only Promos are sent to the station for radio play.

YEAH BUDDY! Another banger from the "Dangerous Minds" Soundtrack and unless you already got this one, good luck finding it and the funny thing, it's not even a promo. Anyway, The Remix on this one is early production from Timbaland and early rap from Magoo, the group Playa is even on this Remix too, just crazy. The original is still hot though.
