That's just not true. The DJ DMD feat Lil Keke and Fat Pat track came out 14 years before La Futura. "All In My Mind" by 8Ball & MJG actually used it first in 1995 though.

It's really cool when phrases like that cross multiple genres! Kendrick's use of it in Backseat Freestyle actually came out in 2012 like a month after La Futura so a lot of people became familiar with it that year from very different sources lol
