It always makes me laugh to hear Billy's earlier work (i.e. 1994's "Happiness"), then hear her singing lines like "Niggas everywhere/Bitches everywhere". Oh man, that girl TRIED SO HARD! I love her. Thanks for posting this.
I can't get over how funny it is to hear Billy Lawrence sing lines like "N***as everywhere/B*tches everywhere". Listen to her earlier work and it's NOTHING like this. I love her. Thanks for posting. I miss that girl.
I love You Tube. Thanks to whoever posted this. The hook to the song would be in my head randomly for years and I couldn't remember what song the hook was from. Now I finally know. :)
fuuuuck. This was a mystery song to me until JUST RIGHT NOW! I couldnt find this song for a decade. Now that i found it its not as dope as i thought it was 10 years ago lol. Im still happy i found it.
This was the start of the bubble gum rap era with the party songs and shiny suites, but even this bubble gum shit s better than 90% of the rap music today. Bring back the bubble gum era (at least) lol

@shewassourgirl 1997, dude. I remember buying the tape when it first came out. Around the summer time. Although, the "Wild for the Night " video/song came out about 1996.
She aint worrying about music no more. Last I read on wikipedia she's out tha business and is attending to her kids and gives private singing lessons. But I don't trust everything I read off the internet. I also heard that she use to date Method Man in the early 90's. Now that bugged me out.
I'm just glad Billy Lawrence's talent was finally able to crack the top 40 (this song went to #34). I don't really think singing the "n" word repeatedly was really her style (judging by her 1st album), but she got as far as I guess she could... such a waste of talent.
@njirem Hello. That's the first time someone called me nigga! I'll take it as a compliment. High? Not at the moment, although I'm not unknown to partake once in a while. I'm also very interested in all those original tracks that have been sampled in hip hop, house, techno etc.
Method Man and Billy Lawrence? And we're talking about Method Man in his "Bring The Pain" days when his attitude was much different from how you see him today? Because you know Billy dropped her 1st album in '94. Nah, I don't think so.
why in the fuck did he change beats? the beginning of this video was fire then he switched it up. big mistake. I thought it way back then and I still think it now!
i guess it's only natural that this video looks like a busta video...seeing as they're cousins...i was in the 7th grade when this came out lol...what in the world happened to billy lawrence?
After all these bloody years this song is still DA SHEEEEEEEEEEEYAT!!!
Hope you come back on the scene Billy!!!
Remind me when I was in high school this song still knocking.👍👍🍻

This is one of the most hardcore cameos from an R&B star (Billy Lawrence) in the history of R&B/hip-hop collabos
This shit used to ring off at Metropolis (Flushing, Queens) back in the mid 90s!!!! DJ Ace & Joe Jaxson parties were the shit!!!
This song was the greatest back in the day i like her so mush i use to have a crush on her but i still do

Public Enemy #1. Flipmode Squad (remake from Public enemy)
She aint worrying about music no more. Last I read on wikipedia she's out tha business and is attending to her kids and gives private singing lessons. But I don't trust everything I read off the internet. I also heard that she use to date Method Man in the early 90's. Now that bugged me out.
@shiyarz no wayz! what is it? gimme some more! (not that...argh) somewhat PE...the beat...is there a version of that...longer than 24sec?
@Toymit Yes. I actually have the entire CD.
Why I thought this was her and Busta lol 😂
whats the beat/song at the beggining???? HOT
@phesterjr The single...
hi
Whatever happened to Serious anyway? He was one of the original members of Flipmode.
he left and did production for no limit/master p
I'm just glad Billy Lawrence's talent was finally able to crack the top 40 (this song went to #34). I don't really think singing the "n" word repeatedly was really her style (judging by her 1st album), but she got as far as I guess she could... such a waste of talent.
00:00 - 00:28 short fuse
im mad @ wat he has on tho,lmao,
You mean the album or the single?
00:29 what happened?!

I think Rampage is trying to clown P diddy lol
Method Man and Billy Lawrence? And we're talking about Method Man in his "Bring The Pain" days when his attitude was much different from how you see him today? Because you know Billy dropped her 1st album in '94. Nah, I don't think so.
whats the first song called?
Flipmode enemy number 1
nO sOULJAH bOY aLLOWED
Deserves a better video. Looks like a wannabe Busta video. Did Hype Williams make it?
@sbe79
and she ain't black! lol risky move, but good song.
Rachel Dolezal??
why in the fuck did he change beats? the beginning of this video was fire then he switched it up. big mistake. I thought it way back then and I still think it now!
i guess it's only natural that this video looks like a busta video...seeing as they're cousins...i was in the 7th grade when this came out lol...what in the world happened to billy lawrence?
i rekon he has better lyrics than busta but bustas good caus he can rap 100miles an hour so it dounds like dope flow
