(From Fresh Mode EP; 1999)
How I learned to stop worrying and love this song: forget how annoying Ugly Duckling's fans were and enjoy the song for its wholesome backpack-and-forth between Andy Cooper & Dizzy Dustin. It's silly to let other people ruin an artist for you, but Ugly Duckling's fanboys tended to be 4 Elements fundamentalists or "I don't usually listen to Rap BUT..." guys, so that's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it. A pity, though, because I coulda used Fresh Mode as a Nice & Squeaky-Clean detox from songs like Freddie Foxxx's Part Of My Life and Juvenile's U Understand back in 1999.
Mind you, I was absolutely right to hate Everybody C'mon back in '99. If that song were a person then it'd be Wicked22.

That Wicked gif cracks me up. 😂
What's more awkward: his attempt at a scratch or his little dad-dance?
"A Little Samba" is classic.
Hated 'Just a little samba' but 'fresh mode' was aight
"Now some of these playas play Mr. Big Salami, but truth be told they'll fold like origami"
Can't lie, I really liked this one as well as 'Now Who's Laughing' but I'd got sick of them by the time 'Just a Little Samba' dropped and was played in every bar down here.
A Little Samba was definitely one of the biggest student-Rap songs of that era wonnit?
If only DJs had played The Return Of The Diaz Brothers instead.
