adlinds Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 i've seen it on the Nelly video - Hot in here. It used to be on there all the time when the video first came out but then one day the video changed and that bit was cut out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty_Boosh Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Also Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic Three - The Roof Is On Fire (1984). Got a feeling this is the one you were thinking of MTheo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudbeer Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Snoop dogg used those lyrics in the track we can take it back to 85 off the Eastsidaz album but I suspect he was reffering back to that era as the title suggests. Reminds me must get some of the classic snoop dogg stuff out really loved the classic doggystyle album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quas Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I think hiphop outfit The Pharcyde used it in a song from their second album too. So, I don't think it's really considered to be racist even if that's where it originated from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmr44 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 How weird is this?! I've just downloaded a Missy Elliot & Tweet song called We Dont Need No Water! Its the same lyrics, but its quite good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaipur Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 the oldest song i can find with 'we don't need no water let the motherf***ers burn" is Bratmobile's Poloroid Baby off Pottymouth released 1993 but its probably older then that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
