Why it is here
- The song interpolates Stevie Wonder's 1976 track "Pastime Paradise," and Wonder insisted the lyrics be free of profanity before allowing the sample, giving the track its distinctive clean, choral menace. source
- It served as the lead single for the Dangerous Minds soundtrack, with a music video directed by Antoine Fuqua featuring Michelle Pfeiffer reprising her role from the film. source
- The track won the Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance and two MTV Video Music Awards, and was the top-selling single of 1995 on the Billboard Hot 100. source
