In the song, Altimet, who was wearing an Eric B & Rakim T-shirt, raps in Malay about being schooled by hip-hop's earliest stars. In 2010, three of Malaysia's biggest rappers-SonaOne, Joe Flizzow and Altimet-collaborated on a track called 'Who Do It Better'. Hip-hop has come a long way in Malaysia as seen from its growing industry and the success it has garnered in the mainstream music landscape. They were signed to EMI International's Positive Tone division and produced their first hit album, Whutadilly, and their first single was 'Too Phat Baby'. One of the 'powerhouses' of hip hop in Malaysia is Too Phat, which consists of Malique and Joe Flizzow. There were also groups from the underground scene that have established themselves such as The Rebel Scum, but it was Poetic Ammo that 'made it big'.

Their first hit, 'Everything Changes', revolutionized the local music industry. Loco and Land Slyde-came out with their album It's a Nice Day to Be Alive. The Malaysian music scene was dominated by these poppy-sounding groups until 1995вЂ“1996, when Poetic Ammo-composed of Yogi B, Point Blanc, C. The group later reformed with only Mista Rem, Spit and Jungle Jerry as the remaining members. As a result, Naughtius Maximus disbanded in 1996 with some of its members left to pursue their studies and concentrated on their own careers.

However, not long after its release, Malaysian public broadcaster Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) banned 9 of the album's 13 tracks because it is too 'westernized'. A year later, they release their only self-titled album which was touted as Malaysia's first genuine hip hop album. In 1994, Naughtius Maximus, Malaysia's first genuine hip hop collective, was formed by the merger of four hip hop groups - Whyness, Deceased, Reffugeez and Under Pressure. However, the younger generation, especially those in the urban areas, were more curious and receptive they were more positively in-tuned to receive this new culture that was creating waves across the globe, which was further expedited and cemented by the introduction of records from American hip hop artists like the N.W.A, Brand Nubian, Gang Starr, Cypress Hill, and many others. Those were trying times, when the pioneers of the local hip hop scene were trying hard to break the monotony of rock music, love ballads and pop sounds, which are staples in the Malaysian music scene, with the fans of these genres refusing to accept this new form of music. At around the same time, another group called Krash Kozz was the only group to introduce the new jack swing hip hop sound to Malaysian listeners, but they disbanded after their third album, New Jack The Street Beat was released.

In 1991, local rapper HQA released the classic album Baguvix. Malaysian hip hop music started in 1990s with rap groups such as KRU, 4U2C, NICO, Naughtius Maximus, and HQA, but their so-called ' rap music' was not accepted by the mainstream community and so they had to change to a more pop-ish sound.
