My uncle was a DJ in the 80s and his bedroom was right next to mine. Got my first taste of hip hop hearing Tommy Boy records, Gucci Crew, and Rodney O n Joe Cooley!
that's why I liked the song. I'm from that Everlasting Bass era.... Mr Magic was what we played when you wanted to test out your car subwoofers at the shop
First heard "Everlasting Bass" on KDAY... and had it on a Roadium mixtape with so many other great songs of the time. When I tell you "Everlasting Bass" is in my top 5 West Coast songs, believe it. I will run it back each and every time I hear it. Peace to Rodney O, Joe Cooley, and RIP General Jeff. Yeaaaaaaah, boy!
The Late Great DJ Cameron Paul broke Rodney O and Joe Cooley in the Bay Area back in the day. He used to mix a lot of their jams in his mixes on record/radio and in the clubs. Rodney O and Joe Cooley were huge in the Bay Area. Cameron Paul was my first introduction to these guys.
Thank you Sway in the Morning. Rodney O love you bro. Rodney O & Joe Cooley my living legends in West coast Hip-hop and Hip Hop in general. So glad the recognition is coming full circle man dang this is really awesome. God bless you all with much love ❤ Sincerely this is appreciated, Joe
As soon as I heard "Like That" it took me back to Rodney O. & Joe Cooley. I never knew Joe Cooley was from Compton either. I always thought L.A. It's good to see a West Coast pioneer still with us. 💪🏾 He was definitely being played in Detroit.💯
Rodney O has been sampled many many times. Especially with the lyric "Baaasss" from Everlasting Bass and "Are you ready, Yeah!" from "Your Chance to Rock"
You must be from the 90's era. Riverside and Rubidoux area. I'm having trouble remember the clubs, that were off of Chicago in Riverside and the other around the corner off of University Ave. right next to Baker's
