people dont understand that THIS IS REAL HIP HOP. Radio stations dont play hip hop, they play trip-hop, or hip-POP. thumbs up if you believe in the 4 elements of hip hop and never listen to new school music !
This was a box tune. A part of rap not talked about much is how it sounded it the street. I grew up with a lot of kids playing basketball. It was always common for a box to be on the court after noon or so. There was a slew of songs that sounded unbelievable as they reverbed and echod against the landscape. This was one of those songs. Also Craig G Shout (give it a listen), LL Cool J I need a beat, Beastie Boys Slow and Low (didnt even know they were white back then!!, paul revere) and of course Eric B for President. Imagine playing ball back in the day all amped up listening to this. These were amazing times.
Most definitely buddy I use to take my boom box to my grand mom house and play hip-hop evertine I played on the basket ball court . with my cousin . My friends. 85;86 , 87. Yes sir I definitely felt u
Even though I commented on this video six years ago, lol I was going through my Record collection in my apartment a couple of days ago and I stumbled across this 12 inch. I’m 27 now and I’m glad I was raised on this type of music.
Gotta bring back ALL this ole skool hip-hop, 80s were the bomb, Marley Marl, Roxanne Shante, Whodini, Egyptian Lover etc, all the electro albums, I remember breaking and popping to dese tunes as a kid of 12/13 years old.....🕺🕺🎼🎼🔊🔊🎵🎶🎵👍📻
@ashfaq6226 yes, these were the days of hip-hop, before the gangsta rap took over, the non violent, non sexual lyrics, no swearing, no drugs, all about who was the best at their game, music was music back then my friend....
@bboysattherave I'm still trying to get my head around where this awesome dopeness came from in the late 70s & 80's.Hiphop appeared to come from nowhere almost overnight and incorporated radical artforms such as grafitti, breakdancing, popping, beatbox, rapping, scratching, drum machines, vocoders, sampling as well as the fashions and had a truly MASSIVE influence on the world. There is nothing like this that kids today are experiencing culturally.
I came up a bit after Pop Art Records. I have a single or two on the label though. Marley Marl and Craig G is a dope combination throughout the ages. Big respect!!!
I found this on an old Capital Radio tape from when Mike Allen (!) did the hip hop show. I forgot how good the rap was on this. Love the old skool voice transform too.
also, marley was living in the same building and could hear him jamming out and ended up biting all his shit. that's why this sounds exactly like a marley marl record. also, the reason they were called the juice crew, is cuz the main dude making all the beats and writing everybody's rhymes was a 12 year old kid that drank a lot of juice box. look it up!
Hmmm, damn, someone transport me back to the early/mid 80s, where REAL Mc's rapped, nobody was promoting street violence, drugs, hurting women or anything as such....
I downloaded a mix from the internet where Marley was mixing this with Mc Shan he cuts so fresh! This was back in 87! I was born 10 years later! When Marley blended them 2 records! In the words of Funkmaster Flex, "Clean!"
HELL YEAH MAN!! that's what i'm talkin' about! Great video,especially the beginning,and clear sound quality!! I just found your post of this and job well done!!!
@Salubrious Southpaw I listened to the track that you listed "space groove" by ultramagnetic MCs, i didn't hear any relation what so ever to this Slammin' song from Steady B. I don't even see how you tried to compare it. Not a bad song from the UM MC's but nothin' like this. This beat was waaaaaay better.
