Ini Kamoze – Hot Stepper (1990)
My first time meeting uncle Ini is a funny story. I was very young, I don’t remember what age, I remember there were two songs at that time that was my songs. “Jump” with KrisKross, and the remix of “Hot Stepper.” When dem tune deh used to come on the music channel stations, my fadda would see my reaction.
So uncle Ini forward and check we now late in the night and, about 5 minutes before, my mada tell me seh, Bedtime. So mi a seh, Wah kinna abruptness dis, you could at least give di I a warning. Just when I walk off, di general walk in and mi a walk past him like mi no see him, so mi fadda say Remus yuh nuh see uncle Ini? And me turn me head and seh, Unu no just tell mi seh mi fi go a mi bed? When mi reach in mi room it hit me, I just walk past the Hot Stepper. I grab a book and a pen and go seh Yo, no disrespect but yuh see the difficulty that I’m facing wit this bedtime thing, so I seh beg you sign this, mi no know if mi a catch you a next time?
