Then when Rich took the set it went downnnnn. Grand Puba got on the mic & kicked Brand Nubian rhymes over every Nubian record that Rich threw on. Then Rene sang the hook to Hey Mr.DJ while Puba added his part "On & On & On & On"....... mere words cannot express, but the flix should help.

Why does Black licorice taste the worst,
