These dots Im connectingggggggggg, I got to the TBoz video by way of this Salt N Pepa mess I LIVVVVVVEDDDDDD for growing up. I really loved them too (they were the first Cassette I actually bought "Very Necessary") But TBoz'nem sampled that "are you ready?!" vocal from here

Then it hit me how easy it was for this bitch to steal my middle school heart, given her tone of voice and presence, its very similar to Pep. I remember when No matter What They Say started playing on the radio, my big cousin thought it was a Salt N Pepa song
