Egyptian Lover on “Egypt, Egypt” 

An early 80’s classic that helped shape electro music forever.

I shit you not, I play Egypt, Egypt almost everyday. I love Techno Hip Hop (or whatever the genre is called) and The Egyptian Lover occupies a lane all by himself. Much respect!

The Egyptian Lover was ahead of his time

Bro look like 35y old his whole life long! What a Legend...

This is fucking GOLD! long live the 808 king

Because of this man electro and Detroit techno is my first choice for any genre of music. Thanks Egypt L!👍🏽✊🏽👍🏽

I just bought albums 1984 and 1985. I love this music. I am 57yo and will be rocking these beats forever.

Slept on LEGENDARY influential and inspiring DJ/MC from the left coast! 🌎

The song is a timeless classic. Born in 92 and still rockin it.

One of the best Westcoast pioneer ever known, and my beat goes BOOM 💥

Fu@king legend right here! What a great time for innovative music, the early 80s.

Decades later, this is still pure fire!

YO EGYPT WAS THAT DUDE!!! I MISS THEM DAYS!!! BAMBAATA PRETTY TONY CYBORTRON KRAFTWERK ALL THEM DUDES MADE TONS OF GOOD DANCE MUSIC THEN... BRING THAT SH@T BACK!!!

I like his track 'girls' especially the version on 'electro 7'...great beats

I’ve been listening to Egyptian Lover since the 80s. I was a kid in high school and used to pop and breakdance to this awesome music. I promised myself that one day I would play Egyptian Lover while on a trip to Egypt. I finally traveled to Egypt earlier this month April 2024, and played the song inside the king’s chamber inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. I also played the song while going down the Nile on a cruise ship, between the cities of Luxor and Aswan. I’m sure I will be listening to this immortal song the rest of my life. Lol

Thanks Egypt, hip-hop story's the coolest

I can't believe im able to watch the man himself create this electrifying song in the very studio that he produced this in.Im glad he was pointed to the Roland 808's.He made great hits with that beat mechine.Just watching him now using that beat mechine making my head still boping to the beat at 54yrs old.Never gets old.😊

One of the founding fathers of West-Coast hip-hop music. Based out of Los Angeles, California. With almost no major radio airplay, his music was popular in High Schools, Colleges etc.. viva "EGYPTIAN LOVER" forever!!

True F***ing innovator and pioneer legend!!!

The General of the club

I still play this in my car on the way to work, and even now it still blows my mind. Timeless! 👊🏿🙏🏿

I was a little white boy in Missouri when I first heard this song. It opened me up to hip-hop and electronic music. I'm 55 now and still listen to this and current hip-hop and electro often. In fact, I listen to almost all genres of music but, these rate as my top favorite genres.

Love it, so simple, no VSTs just pure talent to keep it simple and punchy

I grew up on this right here! Classic fire!

Living legend! One of the best to ever use the 808.

Class ❤❤❤❤

Saw him at a Rodney O and Joe Cooley concert in Oxnard back in the 80s, He was in the crowd with two Fly Ass ladies and his entourage... Tony Toni Tony and the Deele rounded out the show!

Hot Fire

YES!!! HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE!

You know it!

As a kid in the 80's hearing mixes on the bay area radio station KSOL with dj.Cameron Paul.There would be new electro songs coming out almost every two weeks and they would play a new electro songs by itself first than about a week later they would mix that song with recent other songs that already came out.What got me excited is when Kraftwerk Tour De France was out being mixed.When heared The song for the very first time Called "Egypt" "Egypt" being played by itself as a new song i knew down the road it was gonna be mixed.I remember one day out side.My friends and i had a boom box and laid out the card board and practice our break dancing moves.We had KSOL on and it was time for dj.Cameron Paul to mix records on the turntables and sure enough after 20min into his mix he mixed "Egypt"Egypt" and when the break down came when Egyptian Lover voice said the word break down while the song went into the beat play only and you hear the breathing sounds being mixed and i got excited hearing Kraftwerk Tour De France being mixed with "Egypt" that was the best two record being mixed together.It was awsome.Then two weeks later you hear a single record by the Egyptian Lover "Dial A Freak! Later that was mixed with Electric Kingdom by Twilight 22.So bought Egyptian Lovers albums.That when i was learning to be a young dj.at the time as a kid.Im old now but the songs not old to me.They are just as fresh now in 2024 as it was in the 80's.Loved the era.

I still blast this beat! In 2024!!!

Thank you sir 🙏

I got Egyptian blood! Fav song in high school!

I never loved this one that much, but I love And My Beat Goes Boom, I Need a Freak, GIRLS, and My House(On the NIle)

Egyptian Lover and Pretty Tony Butler were the two best electro funk producers during the 80’s. Egypt is still keeping the electro funk alive with some new jams. Pretty Tony has been claiming he’s coming out with new material the last 15 years or so, but hasn’t came out with anything at all.

Wow great story

wow

Just went to History Class real quick 🔥🔥🔥

He looks great

Absolute legend, I was blown away when this track came out

I’m born in ‘92. My Uncle used to play this but I never knew the name. Finally, I watched some video on Vladtv n I just decided to search it cuz Egyptian Lover is a weird kinda rap name 😂 come to find out it’s the song that used to get on my neeeerves ridin thru Compton. 😂 But I’m a fan now. R.i.p Unc salute to Egyptian Lover. Legends 💯

Totally inspirational! Many thanks Egyptian Lover!

Definitely the 🐐 in my eyes no doubt! West Coast legend!🔥💯

fresh fresh again !!!!

A true legend. Let‘s forget about the fact that he ripped the beat of Kraftwerk’s Numbers. He applied the Hip Hop principle. Use it and golden it.

King !

One of my Electronic heroes🙏

Dude this is Dope, I can get lost in this sauce

Omg I love seeing how @Egyptianlover brought this badass beat together!!

This song is the hottest for poppers! Thank you for this song!

Fantastic work

This is great!

Música épica de los 80'😊

The 80s are back new and improved with lots of new music 🎶

That's bad ass. He was here at the Indio Tamale festival 2022

I was just playing Computer Power the other day. Much love to you from Detroit.
