The story behind Ghet Finesse’s new single “Roof on Fire”

Ghet Finesse’s new single “Roof on Fire” has taken the music world by storm. But what’s the story behind the hit song? It all starts with the classic hip-hop hit “The Roof is on Fire” by Rock Master Scott and The Dynamic Three.

In 1984, the song hit the Billboard charts and became a fan favorite. The lyrics “the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we don’t need no water, let the m….f…… burn” became a part of pop culture and were even featured in movies and TV shows.

Fast forward to 2023, and Ghet Finesse has sampled a similar reference from Nelly’s “Drop down and get your eagle on girl,” where Cedric the Entertainer was DJ and chanted “the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we don’t need no water, let the m….f…… burn” to create his hit single “Roof on Fire.”

By paying homage to those before him, Ghet Finesse has brought old school vibes to the new school and created a song that’s sure to be a classic. “Roof on Fire” showcases Ghet Finesse’s talent and ability to blend old school with new school, proving that music truly is timeless.
