Im about to cry...Life was easy,nothing but going to school,sneaking out the house,eating peanut butter,and getting ya ass whooped..Parents was still together..hahaha!
Hip hop will never be this pure agian...this is when the artist had control of they music but utfo of hip hop gods...and i wish i had this instruemental to smash these youngin's in the head wit sum classic raps and beats
this song came out in 88, I was in the navy as a Hospital Corps student, I miss those days. You could go to the clubs and house parties without fear. My kids could never know what that's like.
Kangol with the jeri curl..lol...I loved UTFO..Full Force on production...along with Lisa Lisa and Cult jam as well as Real Roxxxane...they were holding it down...these guys could sing too.
Damn this song takes me back to High School of Art and Design. Everyday afterschool watching Ralph McDaniels on Video Music Box. With my butter crunch cookies or dunkin stix with ice cold milk. Damn thats when I was still a lil innocent.
too all young people this is how we used to get down pure-fun till the sun came up be-clear hip-hop was young but it was all ours no-homo somebody pleas bring it back home
The beat comes from Grace Jones-"Slave to The Rhythm" album (1985) I believe the specific track on the album is "Don't Cry--It's Only the Rhythm". Don't specificly quote me on the cut; but I know it's the album because I have the cassette.
G Rap was telling street stories while maintaining artistic integrity unlike todays rappers that come off like, "Black people sell drugs, black people kill each other, Bitch shake yo ass. Wack ass lyrics like that kill the credibility of the song. Oh yeah... soulja boy......lol
