Throwback Thursday: Black Rob – “I Dare You” (featuring Joe Hooker)
When people think of the unsung heroes of Bad Boy Entertainment, many names come to mind — Craig Mack, the LOX, Lil’ Cease, the list goes on. The label was stacked with talent even on its secondary roster, and because of that, there are quite a few people who got lost in the mix.
One of such people is Black Rob, who dropped two albums while signed to the label. Most people remember him for his 2000 hit “Whoa!”; but for me, his signature song will always be “I Dare You” (featuring Joe Hooker), which came two years earlier. It wasn’t a hit (it didn’t even crack the Billboard Hot 100), but it is a song that stuck with me over the years. My younger self swore he was a gangsta when “I Dare You” came on, and 20 years later, the song has still has that effect.
