Flashback: Ghetto Supastar - Pras feat. Mya & Ol' Dirty Bastard

25th September 2023.

Doja Cat is still hanging onto that #1 spot with 'Paint the Town Red', although there's a bunch of new songs which have rocketed into the top ten this week, so it'll be interesting to see what happens going forward. Will 'Paint the Town Red' remain in the top spot, or will one of the new contenders in Kenya Grace, Tate McRae, SZA, Drake, or Tyla, edge it out?

While we wait to find out, let's flashback twenty-five years to 1998 when the #1 song in the country was 'Ghetto Supastar' by Pras.

'Ghetto Supastar' was part of the soundtrack for the movie Bulworth by the way, which is why Halle Berry, Warren Beatty, and Oliver Platt are all wandering around in the music video.

The story behind the song is pretty interesting too: in 1997ish the members of the band the Fugees (Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras) all began working on solo projects. Wyclef Jean and Pras co-wrote 'Ghetto Supastar', pulling in 'Ol Dirty Bastard from Wu-Tang Clan and R&B singer Mya who had just released her own debut album.

The song samples Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers' 1983 song 'Islands in the Stream' which peaked at #2, being kept off the top spot by Billy Joel's 'Uptown Girl'.

I love Dolly's little "excuse me, Kenny!" and her subsequent giggle at 2:22 in this video. She's great! 'Islands in the Stream' was written by The Bee Gees and originally meant for Marvin Gaye or Diana Ross, so there's a lot of star power behind the song.

And not only that, but 'Ghetto Supastar' also samples James Brown's excellent 'Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved' from 1970. Brown's highest charting song on the NZ charts was 'Living In America' which peaked at #5 in 1986.

But back to 'Ghetto Supastar' - it was incredibly popular, hitting #1 in nine countries and getting a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group, which it lost to Beastie Boys' 'Intergalactic' ('Intergalactic' peaked at #4 in the NZ charts and is Beastie Boys' highest charting single).

This was Pras and 'Ol Dirty Bastard's only #1, but Mya went on to score another two #1 singles. 'Ghetto Supastar' has become a fairly iconic song I would say, to the extent that the Bee Gees even incorporated the chorus into their version of 'Islands in the Stream' on their 2001 Greatest Hits compilation. And, Weird Al also included it in his polka-style medley 'Polka Power!' You know your song is big when Weird Al covers it.

See you next time when we'll see if Doja Cat can maintain the #1 spot for a seventh week!
