Via a 2011 Complex interview:
[W]ith the hook, the Jamaican shit was out at the time, ‘Rockaway, Rockaway! Signal the plane, signal the plane!’ So I was like, ‘I need to make a fucking dance.’ So I was like, ‘My niggas don’t dance, we just pull up our pants, and do the Rockaway.’
And I was like, ‘You know, every time Missy does a song, it’s so simple, but it’s so dope. If you do the Rockaway, you just lean back.’ So I was like, ‘Lean back, lean back.’ And the rest is history.
Rockaway is a Jamaican dance (you can see them doing it in the music video). Apparently popular not only in the clubs.

Back in late 90’s, short time after Notorious B.I.G’s death, emerging NY rapper Shyne was signed by P.Diddy to Bad Boy Records. The label chief executive as well as ex BFF of the late Biggie, promptly seized the occasion and started to create a buzz around his new protègè. Unfortunately Shyne was involved into a club shooting with his CEO and consequently sentenced to 10 years in prison, so his dreams of glory followed him behind the jail bars.
However, technically, Shyne doesn’t hail from Brooklyn, given that he’s born in Belize and later moved to Flatbush with his mom
Later Game dissed even him, defending his labelmate Kendrick Lamar
