If you remember 2005 and are also a Texan who likes rap music, these barked digits hold a particular affection. When Houston rapper Mike Jones became famous, he notoriously rapped his phone number aloud over the brilliant, organ-driven beat for “Back Then.”
It was a hit even in the country I was living in then far outside of Texas. It was so ridiculous and catchy it played at every discotheque and on the radio which was still a thing then.
Where were you 20 years ago lol.
I was 11 and playing outside
Well you should have been listening to Rap music from Houston. This was a huge meme from then, it was Mike Jones’s actual phone number and it became an international hit lol. I never bothered to dial internationally to try it tho.
