That actually came out years before the Shakira song, and they both sample the same song (couldn't tell you what song that is). But if audience members think it's the Shakira song morphing into a hip-hop song, that makes me happy.
If you like watching Sherpa come out to that song, you can see us do it two Saturdays a month at 10:30 p.m. at Under St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place between 1st Ave. and Ave. A), starting as soon as September 27th. And we'll dedicate it to you, L'il G.

And of course the reason Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz' song is so nice, is becasue they sampled Steely Dan's Song "Black Cow."

Also, of course the "National Anthem of the World," De Ja Vu, video was shot at Shea Stadium (1964-2008)

One time, I was really drunk and singing "Deja Vu" around my friend and his classmates and some girl we'd just met, and the girl got really offended when I sang the word "niggas" in the chorus. I explained to her that, while her objection is obviously understandable, "nigga" in modern-day hip-hop slang-- especially when used by black people, as in that song (although not as sung by me)-- is used innocuously, much like "dudes" or "gents", and that, while many still object to such casual use of such a historically loaded word, there was no malicious or racist intent in either "Deja Vu" or my singing of it.
I then proceeded to sing it with the word "niggas" substituted with "gents".
For what felt like hours, while drunk in Yaffa, I filled every conversational lull by singing "New York gents got crazy game, but out-of-town gents is all the same."
I think I also insulted that girl a bunch-- not because of the "niggas" problem, but because she was really an awful person all-around, plus I was drunk.
