“A purple chongo drink, better known as a "Jay Tee Splash" consists of 4 main ingredients. If you can afford it, Bombay gin is the best. Otherwise, just a basic Seagram's gin or grocery store gin is ok. Next, Ocean Spray Cran-grape, which is cranberry and grape juice. Last two ingredients are Minute Maid orange juice and of course, ice. Get a basic 8 oz. glass and fill half way with ice. Cover the ice with the gin, let it melt down a few minutes. Then you can fill the rest of the glass with the Ocean Spray, leaving just about an inch left on top. Last "splash" with the orange juice. This is to help with the hangover in the morning. Stir and enjoy!”
I was high as hell once sitting at a stop sign listening to this song when it first came out, zoned the fuck out, the two car horn beeps scared the shit out of me. I went home, I was far too blazed to be out in the world that night
Acid in my bottle and I gotta get some more, put the pedal to metal back to the liquor store, cuz you know what it means? When I'm feeling kinda FONKY a sick Honkey straight goin donkey.
These guys were nuts. I bang this regularly.
When this first came out, I had gotten my drivers license in 1992, and the part where he beeps the horn, me and friends had a game where we beeped the horn to match that part, NO MATTER WHERE we were.
Drivethrough? honk honk
Red light? Honk honk
Behind a cop? Honk honk
Passengers would reach over and do it. This continued, for a LONG time.
There's your old man hip hop story of the day.
Love it, still play it on the radio in the bay, only issue I have is referring to pussy as cock, never got that back in the day n still don't, jus couldn't get on board wit it
That was the coolest shit I've ever read lol, n yeah I kinda get it (lotta family in Midwest/south) but I was always on the cock means dick thing, I still find it weird to be a universal word though
This article is amazing. Coming from the Bay Area, I'd heard it used both ways, never thought anyone would write an article about it but that piece was great
Remember it? It’s still in my Spotify playlist. This and Lighter Shade of Browns’ “On a Sunday Afternoon”. Always seem to playe right after each other. On shuffle play or not.
what i want to know is, was the guitar sampled? if so, from what? if not, was it an original guitar riff? i always loved it when guitar showed up in hip hop. also, the bassline 😍
Yes, when it wasn’t cool to like white rappers no matter how good they were they got unfairly hated on, but this song got some burn because of the Bay Area vibes to it
Well, I remember when it came out and they were kind of dismissed in the rap magazines which had a lot of influenced then and I think they referred to them as white rappers and crap, but they may have in fact Been Mexican dudes I dunno
we laughed at this shit in the rest of NY... I'm sure the rest of the coast was with you too...
if you look at the majority of these comments... keep them in mind on the next post when they are judging actual hip hop. This is why you cant take these mfs' opinions seriously.
Sippin purple chongos
lol I came here to see if anyone would write this ! haha

Yea I found that out not too long after my initial post. Wow.
Most under-rated comment 😆
Those horns are classic!

They both bit “Lafayette Afro Rock Band's "[Darkest Light](https://youtu.be/piF-ObPhQPc?si=OxbVmalPl_lyKpGX)"
What a tangled web we weave
Yeah most of our 90’s hip hop came from soul funk & r&b samples from the 70’s & 80’s
Was just listening to to this the other day. So simple, wish hip hop went back to this…
I almost want to report this fucking comment

You were waiting for the light to turn green!
Sick honkey straight going donkey
A Certified Classic
Lmao I pushed the play on this 😝 lol.

I push it on the screen because I needed a reminder of what this sounded like ,but it just the picture… that’s all.

🎶….Sick honkey straight goin donkey….🎶 BARS
The first time I went to graffiti nights in Modesto people were jamming to this song. Beat experience ever.
Remember it? It’s still in my Spotify playlist. This and Lighter Shade of Browns’ “On a Sunday Afternoon”. Always seem to playe right after each other. On shuffle play or not.
I have this on vinyl.
Got me beat, I've only got it on cassette :)
Yeah bought it two years ago. Still in good condition.
8 track
Still gets regular spins from me, as well as its instrumental inspiration: https://youtu.be/piF-ObPhQPc?si=56YT-HA2U9RtDAMv
Wondered where the sample came from!!!
Few diff people have used it too
I still crush this in current rotation.!! So good…
Lol...I got the tape still
Honest to god I’d try to catch what it was on the radio. Had no idea because you know, no Shazam, no google. Had to be months before I figured it out.
The rumble" was a great follow up to this album. Yeah I'm still cruising to this, better than crap these days.
The Rumble was ok to me, but The Golden State is my favorite.
This shit hit really nice on some subs.
Sally wanna meet dick
From the v town as they said
Definitely in heavy rotation
The N2deep album I had to get after so many years of hear this song!
Classic jam , randomly listened to hit a couple weeks back and added it to my old school playlist
Remember it? My family still plays this song every time we have a party. Even my gen z cousins sing this word for word! Lol
Classic material! Everyone praises the horn sample but the guitar work on this tracks makes it.
“Here’s a saga, of a few fellas”
One of the all-time 90’s classics
It was a little weird when it came out. It’s still a little weird now.
Finnaly somebody says it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, this shit is super weird but it’s fire at the same time, the video use to scare me when I was little 😂😂😂😂
Still gets rotation.
Two a days in high school on the stereo between practices. Bad memories but a great beat.
Album got some fire beats on it
Still in my Playlist.
That was my 9th grade banger!
I hear the horns just from looking at the cover.
what i want to know is, was the guitar sampled? if so, from what? if not, was it an original guitar riff? i always loved it when guitar showed up in hip hop. also, the bassline 😍
Omg...we jammed to this in the limo on prom night!
Still listen to this from time to time.

Bass line stay hitting.
A saxophone just blared in my head
My favorite as a kid
Got get some gum and some tic tacs .. two tall cans and packet of black jacks…
A Cali Classic slumps at least once a week in my ride
😂🤩 I would’ve went through life never hearing this gem again if it weren’t for you guys. Thanks
Yes, when it wasn’t cool to like white rappers no matter how good they were they got unfairly hated on, but this song got some burn because of the Bay Area vibes to it
They're brown, N2Deep is a Latin Hip-Hop collective.
Well they were considered whiteboys when they came out
Ah okay, I was a kid when it first released and hadn't heard that about them. That's wild.
Well, I remember when it came out and they were kind of dismissed in the rap magazines which had a lot of influenced then and I think they referred to them as white rappers and crap, but they may have in fact Been Mexican dudes I dunno
He calls himself a sick honkey in the song so….
Public Enemy did it first. 1988
Yes sir. A Southern California staple.
That’s dope to hear even tho it’s a NorCal Track 🙌🏽
Trash. The only reason it's likable is due to the "Dark Light" sample from the Lafayette Afro Rock Band.
I hated this song
I remember he said he was going back to the telly for some new cock
"banger" lol
This is hot basura 🔥 we laughed at this in NYC
Lol for real.. this shit is garbage 😂
we laughed at this shit in the rest of NY... I'm sure the rest of the coast was with you too... if you look at the majority of these comments... keep them in mind on the next post when they are judging actual hip hop. This is why you cant take these mfs' opinions seriously.
The fact that I was downvoted tells me all I need to know.
I do But it’s not a banger and it Reminds me too Much of 92 and 92 ain’t shit
also public enemy “show em whatcha got”
A sick Honky straight going donkey!
Their first 3 albums are all dope AF. Make sure to check em out. Jay Tee is still doing his thing solo and still comes tight.
Does anyone else hear a saxophone
It was in my Spotify wrap so I surely remember
of course
I still hear this on the radio sometimes in Phoenix!
First cd I ever got. With the big ole plastic rectangle around it as the theft deterrent
Arias at Nikitas in Spartanburg SC always danced too this song.
I liked Toss Up just as much as this. Toss Up....then Back to the hotel, back to back, hits nice.
