“Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check” is Busta Rhymes’ first solo single and was released in 1996 from his solo debut album The Coming. It peaked at #8 in the U.S. on April 20, 1996 and #2 in the UK. In the U.S., the song was released as a double A-side single with “Everything Remains Raw”. The song’s instrumental contains a sample from “Space” by Galt MacDermot. The punch line for the song is a reference to Big Bank Hank’s punch line in the 1981 Sugarhill Gang release “8th Wonder”: “See it’s up my back, it’s around my neck / Woo-hah!
