Playboy, 1994?

The saga begins when German producers Benito Benites and John Garrett
III hear something they like on an obscure rap track by Providence-based,
New York-produced Chill Rob G. Enlisting Cincinnati-bred GI-turned-rapper
Turbo B and his session-singer cousin Penny Ford, they transform
Chill Rob G's Let the Words Flow into Snap's The Power,
a worldwide hip house crossover to rival Pump Up the Jam
itself. The Snap lyrics are vague where Chill Rob G's are Afrocentric,
but Snap's remix is far snappier, with Ford one among several telling
additions. Chill Rob G objects, however, and as Power Jam Featuring
Chill Rob G gets to release an Afrocentric version of the Snap remix
(on Wild Pitch). So now you got
two dope jams to choose from, only let me add this--anybody hooked
by Snap on the radio (where the original remix was the hit) will
find many more irresistibly stupid beats on the World Power
album (Arista). The crazy followup single, Ooops Up, isn't
even where the shit ends.
