"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 reached #8 in the U.S. on April 9, 1996 (after reaching the Top 40 on March 5) 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, its around my neck, Woo Hah!! Got them all in Check."
The single's video is the first shot entirely through a fisheye lens, with some parts being shot in slow motion so the end result appears sped up, something that became Rhymes' trademark in later videos. The video opens with the song "Everything Remains Raw" and Busta rapping in a car while driving through New York. The remix of the song features Ol' Dirty Bastard and the video for that is shot in a padded room.
