Lyric/Song: “Get in that ass, quick fast like Ramadan/It’s that rap phenomenon Don dada”— “Kick in the Door”
Reference: This was one of several times Biggie dubbed himself don dada, a term ascribed to the most powerful figure, or don, in a Jamaican garrison community. We can’t say that Biggie was the first rapper to use the term in a hip-hop song, but he certainly helped popularize it. In this case, the line may also have been a reference to Supercat and his classic 1992 album Don Dada, which spawned “Dolly My Baby.”
