==Background==
In a studio session with [[Rampage (rapper)|Rampage]] and record producer [[Rashad Smith (producer)|Rashad Smith]], Smith went through his record collection and found [[Galt MacDermot]]'s 1968 instrumental song "Space". Rhymes told him that he wanted to use the sample for himself, and to put the record away and save it for him. Eventually Smith and Busta produced the instrumental for the song using the sample, but Rhymes could not come up with any lyrics. However, seven months later, as Rhymes listened to [[the Sugarhill Gang]]'s 1980 song "[[8th Wonder (song)|8th Wonder]]", he found new inspiration through the lyric "Woo-Hah! Got them all in check", which he went on to interpolate as part of the chorus.<ref name="Talib Kweli & Busta Rhymes Interview">{{cite web |last= |first= |date=December 14, 2020 |title=Talib Kweli & Busta Rhymes Talk ELE: 2, J Dilla, Q-Tip, Kendrick, 5% & Chuck D {{!}} People's Party Full |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no1N1DLKZmk |access-date=December 25, 2022 |website=[[YouTube]]}}</ref>
Rhymes reused parts of the lyrics from a freestyle battle he did in 1994 with rapper [[Ol' Dirty Bastard]], who would later feature on the [[Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check#The World Wide Remix|remix version]] of the song.<ref name="Busta Rhymes vs. ODB Freestyle Battle">{{cite web |last= |first= |date=December 17, 2016 |title=Busta Rhymes vs. ODB Freestyle Battle |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWxHN6YeGy0 |access-date=December 25, 2022 |website=[[YouTube]]}}</ref> While working on the song, Rhymes was also inspired by singer and record producer [[George Clinton (funk musician)|George Clinton]] and aesthetic influences from [[dancehall]], reimagining the cadences of [[Toasting (Jamaican music)|toasters]] he heard growing up in a Jamaican household and a community of Caribbean immigrants.<ref name="Busta Rhymes The Ringer Interview">{{Cite web |last=Bell |first=Max |date=March 25, 2021 |title=How Busta Rhymes Harnessed the Dungeon Dragon on His Classic Debut |url=https://www.theringer.com/2021/3/25/22349157/busta-rhymes-the-coming-history-retrospective |access-date=November 11, 2023 |website=The Ringer |language=en}}</ref>

==Critical reception==
Neil Kulkarni from ''[[Melody Maker]]'' named "Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check" Single of the Week, writing, "This is getting mad playlisting in the US right now, and it could be the record to bring [[East Coast hip hop]] bombing back to the charts over here. Formerly of the wicked [[Leaders Of The New School]], Busta's brilliantly hoarse delivery keeps up an incredible flow on this track, recalling the freestyle genius of [[Mad Skillz]] or [[Lord Finesse]]. But what makes huge crossover so inevitable is the most insanely catchy cartoon loop and a chorus destines to permanently scar the mind and enter the hip hop lexicon of dancefloor-detonating classics."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Neil|last=Kulkarni|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/53656442341/|title=Singles|magazine=[[Melody Maker]]|date=April 20, 1996|page=34|access-date=May 9, 2024}}</ref> In December 1996, ''Melody Maker'' ranked it number 48 in their list of "Singles of the Year".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/53760986465/|title=Singles Of The Year|magazine=[[Melody Maker]]|date=December 21, 1996|page=68|access-date=June 5, 2024}}</ref> [[James Hyman]] from ''[[Music Week]]'''s ''RM'' Dance Update rated the song five out of five, adding, "Imagine the inane style of [[Biz Markie]] mixed up with a pinch of Leaders Of The New School, [[Ol' Dirty Bastard]] (who appears on one mix) plus phat production from the likes of [[DJ Scratch]] ([[EPMD]]) & [[J Dilla|J.D.]] ([[The Pharcyde|Pharcyde]], [[De La Soul]], [[A Tribe Called Quest]], [[Slum Village]]) and you simply have the most boisterous, most infectious and freshest rap single of the year."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1996/Music-Week-1996-03-30.pdf|first=James|last=Hyman|title=Hot Vinyl|magazine=[[Music Week]], in Record Mirror (Dance Update Supplemental Insert)|date=March 30, 1996|page=9|access-date=August 13, 2021|author-link=James Hyman}}</ref> Retrospectively, Daryl McIntosh of ''Albumism'' wrote that "[[Busta Rhymes]] cemented himself as a household name, by helping to add new dimensions to both the look and sound of hip-hop.
