I'm hear to pay respect to D-Nice and Joe Ski - I am 45 and this was part of my life that brings back fun memories of all the good and bad times. The times that made me who I am today. Blessings to all reading this!
I love this interview, it was so pure. That''s how you are supposed to leave the game. He's dressed sharp, better than cats that's muti platinum now, he's at Peace with his contribution. I Love It
Im so glad Joeski got to speak his peace on his record and hip hop today. He makes a lot of sense & his record still gets played to this day on my turntables & will always bring back great memories from 1986. Thanks Joeski.
Blessings to this brother. This used to be my mom’s favorite song. I was probably 7 and my mom used to take me skating at the Rooftop in NYC every weekend. That song used to get everyone hype. Still a banger.
Wow! Joe Ski Love made a good point when he talked about the whole Souljah Boy situation. He is not lying we all come from different places and points of view. Good point Joe Ski.
Joe could never be a soldier boy. Not even a proper comparison. Pee Wees dance is a classic right now. Dem drums hit 2 damn hard. Name me a soldier boy song that will be a classic???!!!!!
Exactly. These new cats are recyclable. Soon as their songs come, they go and get forgotten by their own generation. Become buried by more of the new/same recycled junk that lacks soul.
A 1980s masterpiece!!! I can still do the Dance! We used to jam off this song in the 1980s! My sister loved the “Pee-Wee Herman” movie!! 🚲”I know you are, but what am I?”
Loved the song! Great time in hip hop. I always wanted those Nike's in the video when I was a kid. I would scratch the shit out of "Get Busy Yall" and I would have Joeski Love 12" on one turntable and Steady B Do the Fila on the other. "Get Stupid Yall" and "Get Busy Yall" . Back and forth for hours lol! My hip hop story, thanks for the funky jam!
He didn't say he ripped them off. He said he heard a beat they were freestyling over and the label decided they were going to sample that beat for the song. But Audio Two does use the same type of kicks and snares in a lot of their songs.
here in Milwaukee back in the day - when this came out...WLUM was the town's hip-hop / urban FM radio station - Saturday nights they'd go out they damned MIND. They had a DJ what was for real - a DJ. With mad skills. He would mix it up, throw in some effects, record scratch, mix tunes...THIS tune...DAMN! He'd give it his full treatment! That was special. had some of that mix master mc up in da HOOOUUUUSE!
This is the first time I've seen my unkle not in person o.O this is so cool. Interesting that I wanted to be a Metal musician. music is music I suppose, it transcends genre and generation.
That was a fresh interview. Luv the respect and luv what he is doin with himself. If you read this Joe i broke out the dance in the club when they played your song. I am the only one that knew how to do it. Much respect dude.
Takes me back to roller skating as a teen, man n That song sticks with me as any big hit rap from that time, Run DMC, Fat Boys, you name me, much love to Joe Ski Love. This song is timeless.
Man this song is a classic ROSELAND BALLROOM...1985 86 as soon as this came on the part grt busy yall either we was dancing or wilding out! Especially those Brooklyn cats!
EXPERIENCE, CONTRIBUTION, RESPECT AND FOR THE LOVE OF HIP HOP. I'M FROM THAT JUMPSTART ERA OF HIP HOP AND NO MATTER WHERE I'M AT I WILL TRUTHFULLY SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE OF HIP HOP TO EVERYONE. M.C. JOE SKI LUV MADE EVEN THE HARDEST OF THE HARD GET OFF THE WALL AND DO THE PEE WEE DANCE, AND STR8 FACTS TO THIS DAY THAT RECORD GETS MAD LOVE FROM ALL AGES AND CULTURES.
j-dilla, say huh what! that joe ski love ladies and gents. when i see cats rock this t-shirt , i alwayz think of joe ski and how the dj'z back in the day use to cut that part like dilla did. good work D-Nice!!
Thank you for that insight. I'm from that era and some of our contemporaries have either forgotten what it was like for us or had it twisted from the jump.
That is real talk at the end Joe. I like ICE-T on Law and Order SVU , but I don't agree with him when Ice-T says that the 80's were wack, He was in the movies Breakin 1 and 2 and he dissess the 80's. I dont understand why he disses it and that is a part of his genration.
Yeah!! Joe Ski Love is the man. I remember when this song came out. Wise words spoken about how everyone's contribution to Hip-Hop should be respected.
Awesome interview D Nice, damn I remember when this used to come on Video Music Box, this song had that hard kick whaaaat. pumping it loud always, and we can't forget his other hit My girl which was blazin too.
Peace to you Joe-ski...For a brief time in our Hip hop lives...we had a "SKI" in our tag...thanks for the jam too....and ur right...It WAS OUR OWN EXPERIENCES..who you knew and their particular flavor, as long as it was def.....
I hear what he saying. But the difference is his song was actually dope. Commercial or not. There's a lot of commercial gimmick rappers that made good stuff and also made a decent career out of it
Joe Ski was deep on this. I respect him so much after hearing him talk. Pee Wee dance definitely formed my early interest in "rap music", but I can totally see what he's saying.
Ambitionz az a Ridah, wow I didn't know that I was dancing to a song that years before 2Pac's double album dropped was about Pee Wee's dance. Déjà vu for real!
joe ski diss his dj cool chris back in the days.But look at this vidio make me understand better. we was all so young. he said he was 17 at the time. I think it was to much for him to handle be so young.I glad that man has a family that care about him. And still got his health. and he not one of old school rapper. that had they time. and is mad now.
Good interview, seems like he have Jerz in the Background over the Hudson! But he made some good points on the Soulja Boi/Crank Dat and what they/we were doing/listening to back in the day. But back then, we had other types of Hip-Hop (Lyrical, Gangsta, Conscience, etc) to 'Offset' (no pun intended) the Commercial Happy Stuff that we really didn't have during the Crank Dat/Chicken Noodle Soup Dance Era.
Sorry, Joe. Ice-T was required to read Soulja Boy the riot act. I know Soulja Boy gotta eat, and a "dance craze" is one thing, but....dude is wack. It wasn't just that song, it was the other songs that followed. Ice-T is trying to preserve the art form, and when Ski came out, it was really just forming. I appreciate him giving a different perspective on that beef, though.
Man, I loved Pee Wee Dance, cause the movie was one of my favorites. I recently picked up Joe Ski's single on vinyl "Say Joe/My Girl" Couldn't believe it when I saw it. $1.00
Damn! i fell in love with this song back in the day, the beat was off the hook, and i fell the same way about Ice dissin Soulja Boy, cuz i remember him being in the video, i still love Ice t but i think u gotta let everybody do what they want to do in music, if u don't like it then don't buy it it's that easy,
