Rick James - Hard To Get (Official Music Video) 

whoever came up with the "Oom-Bah-Bah, Oom-Bah-Bah" part is a fucking music genius in my book!

Rick James was certainly underrated. Even the dead would would wake and line up to start dancing from the grave. He left us way way to early.

RJ is BEYOND tight. But chasing some thing that can't be caught, is the miserable result and nothing lasts forever. ❤❤❤RJ.

Mr. James is a bad MF’. These kids in the rap game don’t know this man paved the way for them. How he handle Motown and all.

Old music is the best

Let's face it Rick James really was one of the coolest dudes in music. 😎

This was the shit back then.When real Black punk funk music was real.

Rick James, Prince, MJ..the best

the stone city band is fucking tight. they made rick even better. that's a fucking band.

This song is a masterpiece of real funk

This song is so underrated! Can’t believe it’ll be 20 years since Rick passed this August, may he RIP.

RICK JAMES IS BAD ASS.ALWAYS

NOBODY CAN TOUCH THE KING RICK !! 👑

This jam was supposed to be the follow up to super freak Radio didn’t push it that well but it is one of Rick’s funkiest piece

Back then, singers were real multi-talented Musicians 👍🏾👍🏾

2024 in this Thang ❤❤

Oh yeah. From 1982. He was at his best here. True Pure unadulterated Funk. R.I.P. Brother James.

Mr James , the man who coined the term “Punk Funk!” His worst song is better than anything on the charts today. Rest In Peace Funky Music Making Man!!! 🙏🏼

I've been singing Rick James since I was 6 years old. I'm 49. There will never be another Rick James!

My man right here, you would never see an artist like this today....Everybody's WAY too fake...

RICK JAMES WAS COLD BLOODED!!! HE ALWAYS WAS BUSTIN LOOSE !!! REST IN PEACE OUR BROTHER ❤❤❤

The year is 23 and I'm still vibing to the Greats. Thank you God.

This song deserves way more views than it has !

RIP Rick James (February 1, 1948 - August 6, 2004), aged 56 You will always be remembered as a legend.

This song is fascinating when you really put your ear to it. The rhythm carries the melody throughout the entire song. Yet it's never repetitive or overbearing. There's a lot going on within the instrumentation as well as the vocal performances in every section of the RICK JAMES smash hit song. No part is exactly the same. Everything in this song just seems to totally click. Great composition and recording. It's a masterpiece of our rich BLACK music culture

Just super funky and the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your dead if you cannot groove on this!

RIP RICK JAMES ❤ YOU ALWAYS

The stage presence, performance, sound, etc. Love it all 😆🤘 not to mention the kick ass costumes, glitzed out to the max 🤩

If you lived through Ricks music during the height of his career and danced in the clubs of the 70’s and 80’s , consider yourself BLESSED! He was the epitome of Funk! 🎼

Glitter is a hell of a decoration

REAL MUZIC BAD BROTHER when it comes to Performing. Rest In Peace

You are missed Rick James!!! Thanks for the music and the memories.

When glitter was an essential part of your ensemble.

Levi is rock in’ the keyboards.

If a genie granted me the wish to see any musician live, present or past, I’d pick Rick James.

Bad ass jam!

I miss the 80s! Seemed like everybody got along and music always brought us all together! I remember my older sisters playing Rick James while cleaning the house on Saturdays! Good times! There will never be another!

Rick James is THE MAN!

BUT WHERE IS THE RICK JAMES MOVIE ALREADY

Let em know Rick🙏🏾

He's one of my favourite artist and i'm a millennial born in 2002 say's a lot about me! RIP Rick James, James Brown, Prince, 2Pac!

Nothing but the punk funk..Go ahead Rick James..RIP🎸

A true artist is never scared to perform, no matter how people view them.

Rick James master of disguise. Real MUSIC

My late aunt turned me on to rick when I was a child and when we use to travel out of town she always had that rick james playing in her car and I'm 41 and still listening to rick james his music puts me in a another world

R.I.P. RICK JAMES....KING OF FUNK!!!!

Only certain dudes can have glitter on their skin and in their hair and take your girl and give you music in return that will make you dance and find another girl. Rick James LEGEND.

I'm kind of surprised that this song was not as popular...it's classic Rick James and his style was so unique..my fav is Big Time ..seems to fit his life...then I like Hard To Get and Super Freak. RIP Rick ...glad I rediscovered the music of my young years

I've never seen so many sequins and sparkles in one place. These fella's are legendary kings, What an amazing time, and the partying, fashion, and ALL the unmentionables...just WOW !!!

This a STRAIGHT JAM SESSION!!!!!🔥🔥🔥

PURE GENIUS ❤❤❤

My very first concert was the Cold Blooded tour. I had a blast.

Today's rapper are all a joke! Rick was the definition of real pimp Rockstar with musical talent! Long live the music from the King of Punk Funk!

It's 2024 and you can still smell the funk!!

2023 and this is still funky and bad ass !

I loved this tune, seriously funky. Too bad the public wanted another tune like 'Superfreak'. Rick James was seriously underrated as a singer/songwriter/performer. To me, he was the bridge between the P-Funk era and the Prince era....

im a 40 yr old honky ass mechanic from south jersey and I been listening to rick, ray Charles, james brown, gil heron, funkadelic, slave, mandril, johny guitar and too many others to list every day for many years now and I've noticed most of the time good music like this will put jive ass funky in yo step EVERY GODDAMN TIME! 👍especially while doin my wheelman thing.. keeps me cold as ice

Happy birthday to this legend

30 yrs later,Glitter is still found . #glitter#goodproblems

Look up the word “funky” in the dictionary and you’ll see a picture of Rick James.

Rick James ain't like nobody he has own category. King of Funk forever💖💖

Yes sir! Gave it all.

Who was fuckin' w/ Rick in the 80s ? Particularly the early 80s. " Hard to get" is still official. RIP RICK.

I love james brown but rick james needs a movie.

Looks like such a fun era, and so much talent- everyone playing instruments and singing live....not like today. This puts so many new artists to shame!

Qui est là en 2024 ?!

We need another rick james

I'm an all time Rick fan, but is it me or does that guitar player look like Michael Bolton?

Stone City Band in the place. Blow Danny! RJ was the ultimate OG. R.I.P. Lion

Maybe someone told MC Hammer 'You can't touch this' but he did, twice!

This song should have been huge

So mad my speakers 🔊 not turning up louder !!!! This is a banger !!!🔥

i seen rick live and the man put on a hell of a show he was a real artist he wrote arrangedand produced all of his music and played most of the instruments he was the truth

i wish everybody will look like this in the future

Rick James liked that funky 😻 4 real ...lol

Funk lives onI! I love it when the keyboard player winks his eye and the drummer who has written on his arm *hi Mom". Oh how I miss Rick James,he was such a talented man.

I grew up on Rick James but now that Im older, I gotta great respect for his music and the band!! This man mixed funk added a hint of rock with a sprinkle of symphony. This man was genius!! Thank you Rick...RIP🙏🙏🙏

The Best Rick James song EVER!

Rick was a Monster.

My favorite rick james song right here 🔥

why don't we have band/artists like this anymore !!

No singer can sing a love song with the strong vocal range Rick had check ebony eyes out

Rick James was Indeed the best and I am not biased

This songs been stuck in my head ALL DAY.

Rick James! The one and only greatest musician of all times!! RIP

This guy had so much power in his sound. I choose him over prince a million time. Makes you feel cool. Great jams forever.

I think it would be great to see a movie on rick James, Stevie wonder, Marvin gaye, prince and last but not least otis redding.

I’ve been fan or Rick James since 1980 and recently heard this song for the first time ,,, and the best song of Rick James defenetly

Whoever's Singing Background Vocals on this song is killing it.

🤘 Word Up … still listening to greatness 2024

Makes no sense how damn funky Uncle Rick was!

Rick James admirers here from the PHILIPPINES...

2021...still funkier than whatever music is playing these days...

Oh Yea🎉🎉 Party Baby .......

DEFINITION of funky fresh

People listen to Drake, Legends listen to Rick James

Never gets old . The rappers today dont have anything

Just wonder if MC Hammer paid him royalties for 2 songs and not just Superfreak. What a tune!

I love how the drummer has "hi mom!" written on his arm!

this is straight fire!!!!!!
