Diddy Remembers One Of G Dep’s Most Classic Hits: “This Is A Bad Boy Special Delivery Alert!”

Diddy Special Delivery

Music mogul Diddy is getting a major jump on Throwback Thursday. Puff Daddy hit up social media to celebrate jailed rapper G Dep‘s unforgettable “Special Delivery” anthem.

The hip-hop icon went to Instagram Monday (October 15) to share a portion of the video.

The early 2000’s anthem is sampled off Lil Wayne‘s “Uproar” banger and recently turned into a viral dance challenge.

In 2012, G Dep spoke out on confessing to an early 1990’s fatal shooting and, ultimately, receiving a 15-year to life sentence.

The jury’s decision to convict Coleman pushed both his wife and his mother to tears. But when Coleman returned to Rikers and got on the telephone, nobody could believe how he sounded. “He’s like, ‘Hey, how you doing, man?’?” says Jonathan “Kwame” Owusu, who was his manager. “He was upbeat. It didn’t make any sense.” Three weeks later, a judge sentenced him to fifteen years to life. “I was happy,” Coleman recalls. “It sounds crazy to say you were happy about getting a fifteen-to-life sentence, but I was. It just seemed to me like the end of a nightmare … I was living in 1993 for seventeen years.” (NY Mag)

Following the sentencing news, New York producer Dame Grease hit up SOHH with his reaction.

“I know G Dep personally,” Grease told SOHH. “Even though probably after [confessing] he was sick about it, the whole confession was just a thing to clear his soul. I look at things differently, you know what I’m saying? When you see a man going through things, you can see something’s weighing down on him. I guess that was the thing. I just wish him all the best of luck. He’s got good fans, good friends and support for during his bid. He’s a good guy, overall. Hopefully he’ll get out on an early release.” (SOHH)

Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter V’ Inspires #UproarChallenge

Lil Wayne at last dropped his highly-anticipated album, Tha Carter V, last week and it’s safe to say that the streets love it. Even Kanye West, who was scheduled to release his ninth studio album the day after ensured that Weezy will hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. What’s more, now with a rising viral dance challenge Tunechi himself has taken an interest in, his rebound is a confirmed achievement.

In the course of recent days, fans have been posting clips of themselves Harlem shaking to Tha Carter V feature “Uproar.” The Swizz Beatz coordinated effort previously moved toward becoming related with the dance when Swizz posted a video of him moving to the tune on his Instagram.

“Uproar” itself is a remix of G. Dep’s “Special Delivery” from 2001, and around the time it generated a dance craze long before viral dance challenges were a thing. Obviously, it didn’t take long for Weezy to get in on the challenge.

Look at a some of the #UproarChallenges below, including recordings from Casanova and Shiggy among others.
