Yep. It's about those kids who listen to rap music and try to emulate it. ("The world loves wannabes, so, hey, hey, do that brand new thing!")

I remember the dance remix to that song sampled WAR's "Low Rider." It was pretty popular on L.A. radio.

Diamond f/Showbiz "Feel The Vibe"



...Back to a brother who sold out (Did he?)
He aimed for a name and some fame without any doubt
He was my man so he let me hear a taste
But I dissed his face because the shit ain't have no bass
His beats was clogged, he needed Liquid Plumber
Damn I wonder why he sound like Donna Summer?
Or Nat King Cole, that style is old
100 G's up front, you've just been sold
They kidnap your creative control
No chance of going platinum or even gold
It wouldn't happen to me (Why not?)
I got the skills that's ill and I'm real cause I feel the beat

"Crossover" was a #1 rap hit, and actually rose into the Hot 50.
