Rap Rewind: A Funky Introduction Uncategorized / Nov 12, 2008 / 9:30 am

By Jeremy Ripley a.k.a. Cheesecake

Artist: World Renown
Song: “How Nice I Am”
Label/Release Date: Warner Bros. Records, 1995

Backed by legendary production from K-Def, emcees John Doe and Seven Shawn of World Renown killed How Nice I Am , a ‘95 indy underground hit that utilized Phife’s hook, “Here’s a funky introduction to how nice I am,” and the JB’s “Yeah!” loop from classic joint Gimme Some More. The song also incorporates heavy bass and a hypnotic grand-piano beat to create something that is simply divine.
