1. Shuttershades.  Way before Kanye (with a mini Japanese flag, as a reminder that he’s a real kung fu master…haaa), let’s not forget that Sho Nuff was stuntin’ over 20 years ago.

2. The ‘Glow’.

“And here he comes out of the room…I’m looking at him, and I’m not Bullsh*ittin’…I see…like an orange…his aura…or whatever…I seen it! It was Orange” – Charlie Murphy.  Haa!

He got no respect because he was the villain, but don’t sleep… his Kung Fu was real, very real. While Leeroy was searching for his kung-fu master super soul glow, Sho Nuff was hitting him with that full blown Street Fighter glow blasts to the chest like Blanka.  And had the Popeye eye to top it all off.

3. 100% Pure Sh*t Talk. He proclaimed himself as the Shogun of Harlem. Probably got his skills from the local Shaolin Temple right on Broadway. He spit game all day, everyday. Only questions out his mouth were “Who’s the Master?”…”Am I the baddest mo-fo, low-down, around this town?”…”What’s my name?”

And his main motivation in life was solely to punk Leeroy. It’s lonely at the top of the kung fu game much less in Harlem. Sho Nuff was dedicated to all demeaning tactics including making Leeroy “Kiss My Converse”.  “…Get up Leroy, I got somthin REAL for yo ass in these hands!!”

Even his name is sh*t talk.

4. The Hair. With the Stay-Soft-Fro curl that ruled the era, Sho Nuff’s mane stayed flowy. Even with a powerful Kung Fu

grip, he always gracefully backhanded those locks away from his face to let you know who you were dealing with. Also let’s not forget the facial hair…people with handlebar mustaches don’t give a f*ck.
