My mom used to sing this song to me in Somalia, only good memory I have during the civil war. She didn't even know English back then but she had the chorus down 😄. This song has a special place in my soul.
My God. I was just explaining this song to my eight-year-old Somali-Canadian daughter on last week after she caught me saying 'here comes the hotstepper' out of the blue and asked me what am I talking about. I told her as a teen I used to watch this song back in 1994-95 in Nairobi and that I just remembered it out of no where. I even did the catwalk. She laughed.
@@goosewayne3320 Haa, it was very popular in Nairobi in mid 1990s. This song and that other one by Swedish band called Ace of Base. Their song was, I think, _All That She Wants is Another Baby._ These two songs would come on the KTN channel frequently at that time.
Yes, it's absolutely great (and that BASS!) Apart from the sample of Tanaa Gardner's "Heartbeat" (1981) , the funky beat is also courtesy of Sly and Robbie being on the track, right? :)
@@louise_roseI make music and this song bangs, I was listening again just now and seriously this bass line is crazy and contributes so much to the motion and snap
This song was an instant classic. But I lost it for years. Only the "na-nanana-nanana-nanuhduda-nanuhduda-nanaNAAAA" part stuck in my brain for decades. When I finally found this song again after all those years, it was though I was reunited with an old lost friend.
Yes the song is used in Starbucks' commercial. Many old school songs are being used in commercials lately. The Impressions'(Curtis Mayfield was in this trio back in the 60's before he went solo with "Superfly") "I'm So Proud". Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" in a Mattress Firm commercial. "Galvanize" by the Chemical Brothers; Tom Tom Club's "Genius Of Love" in so many commercials-probably because of that wicked guitar riff/opening! Mariah Carey also sampled the song in her "Fantasy" track! US3's Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia") is used in Johnsonville Sausage commercials. The groups take on Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island", combining jazz and hip hop as they clearly state within the song. Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" in a Pepsi commercial. Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In The Sky" I'm an Xfinity commercial. The list goes on and on! Oops, Erykah Badu's "On and On" might be next!!! 😊
I was in school when it was released. Remember listening to it on my Walkman radio the night before. Went to school spitting the lyrics and being laughed at. Friends telling me I had made the lyrics up my self lol. Couple days later they were all jamming to hotstepper. Still in my play until today. Brings back the best memories of my life the 80s & 90s.
I was searching for this song for so many years, finally found it. All I remember was “naaaaa nananana nannanananna”, kept searching using these words, someone on UA-cam has made a playlist with all the songs with “na na na” in it, YES! finally found it.
When this song released it became the #1 selling record in the World and saved a whole record Company and gave back control of West End Records to it's original co-founder and brains Mel Cheren. Big up Jamaica.
A friend of mine passed away last week, today was her funeral, but when this song first hit the airwaves we drove to the mall to buy the cassette tape!! Played it over & over. ❤ R.I.P. Shelley

@@danthemanBC Holy shit, yes! I'm like "rare? This? Hardly!" .. but not everyone lived in the 90s. I remember this playing at least once in 2hrs on most radio station in Cleveland that year.
Just listening to this jam takes me back to Summer 1994, when everything seemed to be making me fully transition into manhood and just looking at the video, from when the M train was still the color brown, the trains, to the style of clothing, and the hair, and even the quality of music was a lot better than what we're experiencing in the 2020's. I'd give a lot just to go back to this easier time!!!

The hook is from an original song (also played at football games by the marching band) is from a song called 'Land of a Thousand Dances'. He didn't write it, he's just singing it's melody over this beat.

I appreciate this so much. I had no idea what was being said. Loved the song, absolutely zero idea he was saying “hotstepper” or “murderer” or even that they were words. I wasn’t sure that he wasn’t just rolling his r’s like a madman. You easily tripled my enjoyment of this song and I enjoyed the hell out of this when I would hear it on the radio back when that was a thing.
My step dad had this on his mp3 when he was stationed in Coronado when I was like 11. Still love this song just finished listening to it during my son’s bath time 😂. Passing on the tradition of good music.
My dad was an independent wrestler when this song came out and it was his entrance music still good today as it was then me my brother and my sister wore out this song on that cassette
+Sarah Simpkins The Dub version was released four years earlier on the B-side Stepping it hotter this year. The remixed version was released in the United States in late 1994 but dominate in 1995... Unless you're old enough to be hearing it played on Stone Love or Fame FM in 1990..
Bass line sampled from Taana Gardner's "Heartbeat" a killer smash in 1981. The opening "Hit it" is from Doug E. Fresh cut "The Show". Kamoze sure can pick the best songs to sample and did well with this one.
Thank you to Starbuck's great commercial...good vibe and, although I've always loved the song, I would never have guessed the song's title without the ad and this post.🎶
@cynthiagutierrez752 Me too and I grew up in the Bronx. Use to ride the J train to my cousins in Brooklyn and always thought of this song. When NYC was dope!
Ezio Auditore THANK YOU! I am 51 and my musical interests go all the way back to the 20’s and 30’s and on up to contemporary music. I also like opera and reggae, classical music and rap. Open your mind to things you would never normally listen to. THAT’S how you learn about MUSIC, not just the music that is popular on the radio. Listen to blues, go for heavy metal, listen to music from other years, that’s when you start appreciating MUSIC. (except for Bluegrass... I just couldn’t get into it, I tried! I really really tried!!)
I was a little kid but remember the background chorus. It was recommended for me, as I have many 90's bangers on my playlist. I gave it a shot, was not disappointed. It felt like I won the music lottery. 🥰

I appreciate this so much. I had no idea what was being said. Loved the song, absolutely zero idea he was saying “hotstepper” or “murderer” or even that they were words. I wasn’t sure that he wasn’t just rolling his r’s like a madman.
You easily tripled my enjoyment of this song and I enjoyed the hell out of this when I would hear it on the radio back when that was a thing.
Thank you ❤️
Wooow ! Thanks a lot man !
maneiro esse som maloca
My step dad had this on his mp3 when he was stationed in Coronado when I was like 11. Still love this song just finished listening to it during my son’s bath time 😂. Passing on the tradition of good music.
My dad was an independent wrestler when this song came out and it was his entrance music still good today as it was then me my brother and my sister wore out this song on that cassette
That's awesome! What was his name?
Yes! What was his name???
Was your dad Flyboy Rocco Rock or Johnny Grunge?
@@mdf3530 😆😆😆 Really!!
Lol.
Ini Kamoze first release this in 1990 and re-released it again in 1995...
Back when Dancehall 🎤🎙music was running the world....🤔
+Rooftop I agree...
he release it in 1994
+Sarah Simpkins The Dub version was released four years earlier on the B-side Stepping it hotter this year. The remixed version was released in the United States in late 1994 but dominate in 1995...
Unless you're old enough to be hearing it played on Stone Love or Fame FM in 1990..
+View Master ok i was only 10 years old lol
+View Master i was only 10 years old in 1990
Growing up in the 90s and listening to this when it came out, this song was the absolute definition of "cool". 🆒
This one still gets me up and on my feet grooving to this sick beat
This is gold and a lil blue hedgehog brought me back here
*Anyone* *from* *2024* *to* *this* *listening* *masterpiece* *.*
Bass line sampled from Taana Gardner's "Heartbeat" a killer smash in 1981. The opening "Hit it" is from Doug E. Fresh cut "The Show". Kamoze sure can pick the best songs to sample and did well with this one.
Correct...Musiq Soulchild also used the sample in the 00s
and the chorus is swiped from Wilson Pickett's Land of 1000 Dances
Back when Hip Hop was Hip Hop, the 90s had some good hip hope hits, this being one of the top ones
My brother always thought he says, I'm the leprechaun gangsta!!! Still makes me laugh to this day
😂
I also thought that’s what he said
no, it's leprechaun DANCER !
i thought it was leprechaun mesa
Lmao say what 🤣
Thank you to Starbuck's great commercial...good vibe and, although I've always loved the song, I would never have guessed the song's title without the ad and this post.🎶
I was 14 when this hit came out and I’m still enjoying it…..TO THIS DAY!!!!!
I was 14 years old too😊
@cynthiagutierrez752 Me too and I grew up in the Bronx. Use to ride the J train to my cousins in Brooklyn and always thought of this song. When NYC was dope!
2022 and this songs still makes the vibe. You need something to make you smile? Something to pick your soul off the floor...this is it.
Yeah. I just sent this vid to my daughter.
In 2023 this song is still a masterpiece! I was 11 when it came out 🎉
2023 and 🔥

You could have asked me.. I would have told you 😂 about it.. I think it actually kicked boys 2 men off the #1 spot.. Ya know,back in my day.
@@Blacktolite he means he’s been searching for the song for six years 🤦🏻♂️
Respect if you are listening to this in 2015

Even more respect if you're listening to it in 1915.
I'm listening to this in 2106
jidma if you're still alive then :DDDD Good luck!
Johannes Krieger With medical advances I'm sure by then people will be living 150 years plus.
this was my favorite song in 4th grade. so pumped whenever it would pop up on MTV
I love see this song on starbucks commercial; This song will never get old
Like “Low Rider,” this priceless gem will NEVER get old!
This song will never get old to me 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I love it
This wasn’t recommended, you searched it
ADMIT IT!
Actually I was listening to “Return Of The Mack” and this was the next video. JACKPOT!!
Ezio Auditore
THANK YOU! I am 51 and my musical interests go all the way back to the 20’s and 30’s and on up to contemporary music. I also like opera and reggae, classical music and rap. Open your mind to things you would never normally listen to. THAT’S how you learn about MUSIC, not just the music that is popular on the radio. Listen to blues, go for heavy metal, listen to music from other years, that’s when you start appreciating MUSIC. (except for Bluegrass... I just couldn’t get into it, I tried! I really really tried!!)
After watching Antifa members in Portland on 🔥 last nite lol 2020 is truly off da ⛓
ok, i admit, u win, u win, u 2 gud
Antonio DeGracia I searched great song
this is a masterpiece, only gets better while the years goes by!
This song is still fire. Playing it at my wedding next weekend.
Oh congrats!
Very rare that a bride will allow something this good at her wedding you make sure to keep her.
how did it go?
@@BelmontClan Brides don't always have a say in it ;)
I played it at my Divorce!
If summer of 69 was the best days of Bryan Adam's life, then I would say that the 90's were the best days of my life..Remembering the 90's :-)
Great pull
Nostalgia! Was the most popular party song in the mid-90s at every party in the world!
Hear this funky jam all the time and thought it was from one of the Latino brothers. Love the Jamaican Jams👍✌️
The 80s and 90s were the best times to music, people dont appreciate old music as much as we do.
Old music sucks tbh
@@alexturnerstan553 So why do you listen to it? 🤔
@@alexturnerstan553 get off the channel then!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
@@alexturnerstan553 Then what are you doing here? Ooooooh, you're TROLLING!!!!!
Honestly could argue that every decade was the best year. But for Rap & Reggae I must agree that 80s and 90s were the best and also the 70s.
Family guy really be bringing us back to these classics
people actually typed this into the search bar "na nananana nananana nanana nanana song" lmao
I typed in "gangster murderer" lol
I typed, "Excuse me Mr. Officer" Ha
"still love you like thaaat" 😂 these comments made me too happy
I actually enjoy your Dalevuelta's profile pic, even if you dont know about them
I typed the actual song
I like this video much more than the other one, paying respect and making his country a part of it instead of showing luxury in the US
It's 2022 and this song STILL ROCKS!!!!
2023
2024
I was 15 when this song was released. It is the kind of masterpiece that sticks with you forever!. It practically becomes part of your DNA.
Exactly. I was also 15. Last of the greatest rap songs of the twentieth century.
Was 16 Gen X we the last of the great generations
@@googleuser2609 Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Dre etc. There was plenty of great rap songs in the 90s to enjoy.
I was 32
Almost year 2021 and I still listen to this work of perfection.
Most underrated song. This needs more than 34mil views.
Whos here 2024?
My 5 year old heard a bit on a commercial just now and asked about it! I got sooooo excited!!
Here because of the Starbucks commercial. They obviously have good taste in music.
I'm not anymore
You know damn right
I am still lovin it!!
I remember this when it came out. It was EVERYWHERE!
You've got good taste in music sir.
I was a little kid but remember the background chorus. It was recommended for me, as I have many 90's bangers on my playlist. I gave it a shot, was not disappointed. It felt like I won the music lottery. 🥰
In Argentina this was the top model fashion pasarella theme song for real!!lol 😀
Forever a Classic!!! 🇯🇲
