So grateful I still have my best friend from childhood we are both 52.... I fell in love with this song in high school. RIP Ecstasy!! Thank you for your positive influence in my soul and spirit.
Girl I know, me (52) too! I was 13 when this song came out! lol There were 3 of us that ran together, one passed on but this was our song! I looked up this video to send to a homeboy that I haven't seen in years! Known him since kindergarten and we were about 16yrs old lady time we saw each other... Good times and our Genre back then... Wow.. just wow! lol
WHODINI, notice how good they sound live, JALILL AND ECSTASY,no screaming, and good rapping not like today's rappers. one of the top best rap groups of all time. ECSTACY RIP
@@Freshmachine Escape was released in 1984 by whodini. It was Platinum by early 1986 before Raising hell it was platinum. However they trying to erase whodini for Run Dmc. Their marketing team was great and still this myth exists. They try and say Escape wasnt certified platinum. It sold over 900,000 before 86 from public releases.
My friend, I know that it's been 12 years since you've messaged that response, but "RAISING HELL" dropped on May 27, 1986!! RUN-DMC was the first to break an album in hip-hop!! It was a groundbreaking moment for hip hop culture. That album quickly sold OVER a million copies within a few months, becoming the first rap album to achieve platinum status!! 💯
I was fortunate to have seen them at least 10 times over the years. Earliest I recall was 1984 in Charlotte NC. Last time was in Aug of 2019 in Durham NC. Great 30+ years of memories. Thanks, Ecstacy. RIH.
I must have been 8 or 9 the first time I heard this on the radio. Spent years looking for this tape or cd, sure glad for youtube. I listen to this a least once a week.
