@@alexg4462 at the very least, I'd bounce up and down on my barstool! My husband has so many splints and braces for his joints that he looks like a low rent cyborg.
You should have a camera in there and film it every time it drops. Different nights for months, then string it together in a video of all the different crowds.
I love how you weren't ready for that drop. None of us were man, none of us were. Even now, that intro summons our souls, and it hits each time like the first time.
Yeah the Irish embraced hip hop earlier than just about any white group. There's a saying, "The Irish are the blacks of Europe, Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland). Yes a lot of Irish are as racist as any group, but they've also been treated as badly as any group in Europe for centuries, so it makes sense that they embraced the hard core sound.
Back in the day when you would hear this in the club, not one person would be standing still. It's one of the ultimate party song and goes hard as hell too.
The Beastie Boys were white and were making a name for themselves in NYC in the early days of rap. Don’t worry about thinking an artist is a different color or doesn’t look like you thought they would, I think it’s human nature to form a picture in your head of who you’re hearing.
Don't tell him about house of pain n cypress hill in the same show! He might not be able to handle that excitement! Him watching jump around is enough for him today! 😂
House of Pain was part of Soul Assassins, as well as Cypress Hill. Everlast was thinking about givin up on hip hop and the song Jump Around was givin to Cypress Hill. They really weren't feelin it and they passed it onto Everlast and his group House of Pain used it and it blew up, the rest is history
It is so cool seeing young people hearing iconic songs for the first time and enjoying them!! As for me, I've been jamming to this song for 31 years. I'm old enough to remember nightclubs and bars BANNING Jump Around where I lived. The reason for this was because people would "Jump Around" and spill alcohol all over other party goers or knock other people down... Which would cause fights, stabbings, and gun play 😬 So they banned the song 😢 But not just Jump Around... "Insane In The Brain" by Cypress Hill also got banned in clubs for the same reason. Those two songs got people PUMPED UP!!!!
100% truth you said Stoogler, I am a 1978 boy and the 1990s was the cream of music evolution. The whole decade brought out genres after genres, in high school in the UK I would mix with the rap crew,brit pop crew grunge crew dance crew it was crazy but so cool.... ❤2ALL StaySafe ✌👍🤜🏽
As a 46 year old I LOVE SEEING the young generation VIBIN OUT TO what we listened to! ❤ Most younger folks don't realize WE SAW EVERY 1ST THERE WAS AND NOW WILL BE IN HIP HOP!!❤❤❤ WE AS HUMAN BEINGS HAD NEVER seen , heard anything like HIP HOP!!! I WAS THERE AND I LOVED IT! Check out the rap Duo 3RD BASS POP GOES THE WEASEL & THE GAS FACE!! Shout out MC SERCH and PETE NICE and DJ RICHIE RICH!!! ALSO EIGHTBALL & MJG PIMP IN MY RHYME
it takes real courage to experience new music and be open to it in front of people. thanks for being brave and bridging gaps. we are all americans loving music here.
BTW it came out around 1992. There was also a pretty good white rapper group that came out around then called wait for it.... young black teenagers 😆. The track is called Tap the bottle you should check it out.
I saw House of Pain in Honolulu with Cypress Hill and Naughty By Nature in around the same time. Naughty By Nature was by far the best of the groups but they were all awesome. I never saw an official Funkdoobiest concert but they were in Honolulu and showed up to a private party to battle with local Hawaii rappers. Both sides were good battle rappers and there was such an awesome vibe in the room that night.
Shamrocks and shinnanguns great album. This was definitely the song a DJ played in the bars for close to 2 decades to get the bar hopping and in a good mood for the night.
To hear and realize for the first time who House of Pain is, is dope. But wait until you hear the lead rapper in this song with Santana as Everlast on the track, Put Your Lights On.
the song came out in 91 or early 92 cause it was my senior yr in high school. Back then cds came in a box (little fact for all the young ppl), the rapper is Everlast, went on to have beef with Em.... well we all know what happens with that😃 Em did 2 diss tracks, pretty much ended it
@@Jayizzo007 Yep! I remember jamming out to this in Junior high on my Walkman. I don’t know why it seems so strange now that I had this on tape, maybe because CD’s became so popular soon after, but I remember specifically having this tape and the Offspring on tape and memorizing all the lyrics on the readout. Good times
when they were touring with Cypress Hill, they booked at a college stadium, they checked the foundation after and found major cracks running through the whole building
They were shopping this song and Ruffhouse wanted it but house of pain didn’t like the deal so they kept shopping. In the meantime Ruffhouse put out “jump” by Kris’s Kross to try to squash jump around. Didn’t work. That’s why at the end he says “this is dedicated to Joe the biter Nicolo” he was a Ruffhouse exec
Matt was a friend of theirs. Everlast “whitey ford” is the main dude. HOP only had 3 albums. The first was dope, with production mainly from DJ Muggs from Cypress Hill. They were all friends. Everlast went on to make great albums and a lot of acoustic guitar stuff, with a little bit of rhymes and beats. Still doing it today, after he almost died years ago. Definitely check out his catalog. Good shite!
Oh wow, your reaction was fantastic 🤩You are definately not the only one surprised when they see they video 😱😲😂I bought this "album/cd " when it came out in 1992 and have loved it ever since. It was also the 1st song the DJ played at my Wedding reception. You gotta move when this tune comes on.
Best part of the House of Pain mythology is that they're from Boston, or even Irish-American. They're from LA and good friends with Cypress Hill etc. I think the label (Tommy Boy) was like, "well, you're white, the beat samples a bagpipe. fuck it." Funny as fuck to see people from Boston, or even Ireland, claim this group when they're from Woodland Hills in LA county. But, fuck it, it's a BANGER.
Everlast was in Ice T's Rhyme Syndicate in the 80's. He had cred prior to House of Pain. If you haven't checked out La Coka Nostra, that shit is fire too.
You gotta be effing kidding me! For the last thirty odd years I legit thought these clowns were Irish-Americans from Boston. I feel violated and vulnerable right now... And yet, like you say: Still a mf banger
I was a young DJ playing parties for high school and collage kids when this song dropped. We didn't have a lot of music video exposure at that point, so we didn't know if they were white or black or what either, but it didn't matter what color they were - because we just loved it! (no dis-respect)
Back in the day, there was this hiphop/d&b/breaks magazine called "Knowledge", which encompassed history and knowledge about the hip hop community and it's influences. The hip hop community was all about knowing their roots and the history of their influences. It seems nowadays that a lot of this mentality has disappeared except for in the most underground hiphop communities and I find it so refreshing that the younger generations find an interest in the knowledge of the past of hiphop. Looking into it now, the magazine still exsists as Kmag, but has diverted to be mainly d&b focused.
You should really check out the golden age of Rap. The 80s. The Beastie Boys started it all for the "white guys". Have you ever heard LL Cool J's jams from the 80s? 90s? His 80s stuff was the best. If you haven't heard of Too Short,E40, 2 Live Crew, Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy, Eazy E, NWA, Westside Connection, Digital Underground. You should. Those are just a few of hip hop legends. I hardly see anyone react to as much.
hey dude, back in the day, I had NO IDEA the great Charlie Pride "kiss angle good morning" singer was black. Old School Country too !!!!!! no shame, this things happen from time to time.
I bounced in Boston bars in the 90s for extra money. We would ask the DJs to not play this song. Though i loved it, the place would get absolutely crazy whenever it was played.
Watch and react to " Tap the Bottle" from Young Black Teenagers from late 1992, got popular in 1993. They are not black, but also white rappers Very good song
Brings the memories back. Was in a packed bar in East London, really drunk. This came on and everyone was jumping. Only thing is, we slipped on spilt beer and fell over and broke my cousins knee LOL. Those were the good ol days 🙂
lol.. not going to lie.. I thought a black dude did this song, but growing up and everyone at the dance clubs jumping makes a lot of memories for me. Didn't care if white/black.. and now actually shocked it was a white dude.
Just like my surprise finding out the lead singer of Sevendust was black..lol. back in the day, saw them on a "metal and ink" tour. He came out shirtless, braids and belted out the song Black... Made my hair stand on end. It was awesome!
🫣beastie boys are white😂 back in the 80s everyone was rapping. Some of the best lyrics ever written those were good times have you heard intergalactic by the beastie boys 😂love that video
