Superman lover, cool from the new school
Hold your breath, while I walk holding my jewels

After spitting those lines on EPMD’s 1990 track “Hardcore,” Redman kicks off his Sooperman Lover series—inspired by EPMD’s “Jane” series—while paying homage to Johnny “Guitar” Watson and his 1976 track “Superman Lover.”

Redman starts off the track with a re-creation of Slick Rick’s intro from his classic 1988 single “Children’s Story” before going into his own story. Producer Erick Sermon said the following about the track:

No one was thinking about sequels, at least I wasn’t, until Reggie said he was gonna do a part 2. I thought it was a good story and the beat was funky, not knowing he was gonna take it and make [his own] “Jane.”
