When he was held by Washington, D.C., police regarding the murder of a drug dealer in 1987 ("Murder, Drugs, and the Rap Star" read a Washington Post headline), it gave him an even greater notoriety (he was never charged with the murder). Declaring war on D.C.'s go-go scene and loudly criticizing Run-D.M.C. (then the ruling New York hip-hop outfit), Just-Ice set a pattern for many a future hip-hop feud. Little could halt Just-Ice's ascension to hip hop stardom, though the departure of Mantronik from Sleeping Bag was a bad omen. KRS-One stepped in to produce 1987's Kool & Deadly, an album that swapped Mantronik's hi-tech skills for raw, elemental beats and rhymes. The British and New York public that had so enthusiastically embraced Back to the Old School were indifferent about this one, and 1989's The Desolate One (with KRS-One back in the producer's seat) was no great improvement. By 1990, both Just-Ice and Sleeping Bag appeared to be quickly fading as a new generation of MCs and labels overtook them. He continued to release albums at intervals across the 1990s, but they were on tiny independent labels, although one, 1993's Gun Talk, had major-label distribution and had five of the album's 10 cuts produced by Kurtis Mantronik; and were rarely noticed. Just-Ice was a member of hip-hop super session, the Stop the Violence Movement, which released one single ("Self Destruction") in 1990.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Getting checks, We don't flex With designer
Getting loose, Getting loose, I'm a rider
Turning up, Turning up, Like I'm tiger
Riding loops, Getting loose, Im a Rider
Getting checks, We don't flex With designer
Getting loose, Getting loose, I'm a rider
Turning up, Turning up, Like I'm tiger
Highest in my room
I need to go, and make that money boom
I need some bitches to come at me too (Ohh-uh-oh, oh oh uh)
Ohhhh
We were in a foreign car
Hopping in a foreign car
Going fast like a jaguar
At the beach drifting like a sports car
At the beach we're like 5 racing cars
I'm hitting notes like I'm playing the guitar
All my life I've been dreaming to get far
All my life, life
Riding loops, Getting loose, Im a Rider
Getting checks, We don't flex With designer
Getting loose, Getting loose, I'm a rider
Turning up, Turning up, Like I'm tiger
Riding loops, Getting loose, Im a Rider
Getting checks, We don't flex With designer
Getting loose, Getting loose, I'm a rider
Turning up, Turning up, Like I'm tiger
