Juicy mistake

Hey all,

An astute reader has drawn our attention to an error made in one of our early posts about the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy." After doing some more research, we can confirm...we were wrong! My thanks to "tonyc" for giving us the heads up - like a good friend, he's let us know when we've got food in our teeth:

 I just discovered your blog, and it's really good, but it pained me to read this:

"Heck, he even throws in Love Bug and Starsky and Hutch references just to remind you he likes crappy television, too."

Biggie wasn't referring to "Herbie the Love Bug" and "Starsky and Hutch" -- He was referring to fellow MC Lovebug Starski:


You nailed the rest of the post, though, and this blog is really an entertaining read. Keep it up!

Instead of correcting the original as if the error had never been made, I rather just commit the mistake to record. This blog was always intended to be a discussion about the stories behind the music, and sometimes, what finger on the steam has held to be true for so long, was always off target. Like your well-intentioned friend who sometimes has too much to drink at parties, there will be those times where finger on the steam starts wildly singing along to the music "Excuse me, while I kiss this guy!", as those around smirk knowingly. We can only hope that later on you'll take us aside on the patio with a cold brew and let us in on our buffoonery, before, of course, adjusting our collar so we can get back in there and go talk to that brunette.
