This song also exemplifies the K-Funky-Fresh era of hip hop. This song has rapping in it, because it is a rap song. Rappers say yo and dawg and fo'shizzle a lot because rappers are like yo dawg fo'shizzle this is the rizzle. Fo'shizzle this rizzle cause its off the hizzle. Those phrases are common in rap music, along with degrading terms towards african americans, like the latest single off of Watch The Throne. We won't name the song because it has a a bad word, but lets just say that it is called a racist word in paris. This song because it exemplifies the K-Funky-Fresh Era so well, never charted. That's because radio's don't like people adding izzle to the end of every word, and using the word dog to refer to people. Because people are not dogs. Dogs are Dogs. Cats are not Dogs, but Great Dane's are dogs. We don't know whether a Chihuahua is a dog, or is it a mouse dressed up like a dog. People wonder these things, and now you will to.
