You don’t understand how cool this song makes you feel while your driving..you could be riding a bike delivering newspapers..sitting on the bus..30 years and this song still 🔥
Yall just won't ever understand how Cool this song was back in New York, 1989, in the projects with everyone outside, Guys Playing Ball, Girls Double-Douctching, Kids Hopscotching, Freeze Tag, Hide and Seek. OGs Freestyling, Arguing and Debating or Playing Cards. Girls Dancing, Music Playing and Old Folks Chilling, Reminiscent of the Good Ole Days and having a good time!!! BBQ on Grill, Julups in Hand, Mannnnnnnnn......if only Yall could see how we lived back then compared to Now? Yall Niggas would be building a Time Machine wit the quickness!
You know! for me it was the summer of 1989, as well in SC also hanging out at pool parties and at the state park at the beach, which stayed lit, in the hood brothers was having bass contest wether you had 10's, 12's, or 15's one thing they had in common tho was everybody was playing this song even if you did'nt have a car, at that time i did'nt as i was 14 when this came out but we had boom boxes with the double cassette deck and the equalizers on them and walked the streets with them up and down the hood mane these yougins just don't know i cant turn back to that summer but recreating it would be nice so i'll start by banging with my house system oh yeah the JVC rips!
Same here and I'll be 47 yrs old by the end of this month. Still can remember this word for word... We some ol skool born n raised ass hip hop cats....
@@teresa8650 That was my second favorite track on that album. "They call me Doug E. Fresh. They know I'm def, because of the initials of the name is D.E.F... Know what I'm sayin? I aint playin....
I don't like rap much anymore, yet I liked this from the first time I heard it back in the late 80's. Rock Box from RUN DMC was another one that I still like from way back.
Oh the memories this track brings... And still can remember word for word by the only emcee that rubbed thru his hair alot... Which brings back the hip hop artists California Swag District (CSD)... Y'all did a damn good job about this cat...
Listening on this 3/31/20 . This one is one of the best. Some feel good music during these Covid-19 times. I hope everyone reading this is well. Stay safe and God Bless.
As a brother extended out his hand to me and asked me could I rock the microphone? I just gave him a pound and I said shalone! Old school rap at it's best!
Man after i read your comment i could'nt stop listening to this song, it stayed on loop for a 9/10 times in a row since yesterday to today, im a Golden era hiphop fan and i forgot just how fly this song was and i went back to my old neighborhood smiling thinking about things that was happenin when this song came out this shit still kicks hard, anybody that dislike likes needs there head examine!
Keni Burke "Risin To The Top", Heatwave "Ain't No Half Steppin'" and Stevie Wonder "Fingertips Pt. 2". I don't know where the spoken words in the intro came from, but sounds like Jackson 5 to me.
the whistle/Rhodes piano chords are from an 70's album I bought years ago can't remember the song called "Oh Brother" or something I gotta find that joint!!!
