[SuperMpare]

M P A R E!

[MrJuskickinit]

@ Quad1014 the sample is actually a song called "risin to the top" by Keni Burke

[colinv01]

his dougie looks nothing like what these young kids do today with theire so called "dougie"

[erika2012vsu]

My fav Doug E Fresh song.. give it all you got give it all you got..

[Quad1014]

Wat song did he sample

[305whistleblower]

@Quad1014 The sample is taken from the Mary Jane Girls song "All night long", they were an all girl group started by Rick James in the early '80s.

[DubStackG]

I was like 7 when this came out and it was and still is on point, good music for real. I just had to school this old head on where the Dougie dance came from. There is a video on here of Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air dancing to Teach Me How To Dougie and it says that is where the Dougie Originated, LMAO.

[fluffybunny333]

@Realnaijaqueen I know that my generation wouldnt be anything without people like doug e fresh, dr. dre, ice cube, nwa, slick rick, run dmc, notorious b.i.g., tupac, or any other rap legend, if they never rapped i dont know wat music would be like today

[MonteHay20]

The Dougie didn't start in Dallas, Texas...it originated right here with the real Doug E. Fresh. Everything else is just a spin-off. Give credit where credit is due.

[Orbot]

Today's "rappers" need to take more notes from joints like this from back in the day! Notice how the lyrics flow so effortlessly with the music, and how the beat is so on point and makes you want to actually DANCE! These were the good ole days of hip hop! (Sigh) Nas is right.......!!

[sweetsmcgrif]

The man

[Realnaijaqueen]

I just showed this to my kids and my niece to show them their generation is UNORIGINAL!

[BDizzleNY06]

@Realnaijaqueen LOL, well I guess everything goes around and comes back around in another form. I saw a video with MJ's moonwalk in the 1930's but it was somewhat different.

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@BDizzleNY06

I saw that vid.I also saw a footage that appeared to be from the 1930's of Black Men & Woman executing Break Dance moves.

[BDizzleNY06]

@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING Yes! I saw the video on Youtube and I wish I could find it again.

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@BDizzleNY06

If I come across it tonight I'll send it to you.

[ednoroirika]

@Realnaijaqueen And our sample generation is? When this song came out my dad was like... who the hell is this dude remaking Keni Burke and Heatwave? lol There is nothing new under the sun... let the kids have there fun!

[BDizzleNY06]

@ednoroirika Yeah every day it amazes me how nothing is really new. Some artists are good at adding their creative touch and making it their own while others can't do it.

[ki3ran191]

@BDizzleNY06 Kid Cudi :)

[chj2]

@ednoroirika I guess your Dad, like many, didn't know that sampling has existed for a long time - and while not all samplers use a turntable and sequencer, they are "sampling" (or in cases outright stealing), i.e., Elvis, The Beatles, and other white rock groups that sampled Black Musicians and didn't even credit them; Jazz musicians who when improvising, would use each others' riffs, and several others. The difference now is that much of today's music is mind-numbing, imbecilic, minstrel drivel

[thatman234]

@Realnaijaqueen I love you for doing that! I just schoolled my nephews

[bigguy2128]

@Realnaijaqueen Yeah, i see where the dance comes from.

[TheAngelJibreel]

Yeah this Song was hott...Im actually in the Video. Im one of the dancers. Man how time flies

[GlobalStooladry]

you better believe it

[randyallday1]

nice

[johnied8509]

this is the only song Iiked by doug e fresh

[angelraresome]

before his time ... love his swag the beat is ridiculous

[itube612]

Doug E was the hottest shiznit back then, and I think he was hardly ever beaten. btw sound here isn't very good

[Orbot]

@itube612 He was no doubt on point, but then again, alot of rappers were hot back then! I'm tryin' to figure out what the hell happened to hip hop today!

[bobadigilatis]

@Orbot Technology is what changed hip hop, samplers, notably akai, became a centerpiece of the studio, hip hoppers and rappers jumped on the new kit, they most likely spent so long messing around with the sound and samples the raw nuts and bolts of hip hip - the beat and the lyrics took second place. This tune is '88, in '89 Jungle brothers released 'done by the forces of nature' the azimuth of all hip hop and technology. As you say, what happened after the 80's?

[chj2]

@bobadigilatis I'll say this is what happened after the 80s: a bunch of IG'NANT (pun intended) white execs and ig'nant non-white execs and their lackeys, started commercializing what was said to have started back in Central Park in the 70s(which actually has roots in ancient times, but that's another discussion entirely), and they diluted it, distorted it, and mutated it into the garbage that pollutes the airwaves today. At the same time, they locked out and ex-communicated the originators.

[millfordsange]

he still okks exactly the same, I love Doug

[Drezyful]

the world's greatest entertainer....doug e fresh

[maasonmom]

Dougie looking good.... This that funky dope fresh shit. Original

[rocklobsta1415]

"you aint got, you aint got, CUZ WE"RE THE GET FRESH KREW! roflcopter

[rocklobsta1415]

the definition of fresh

[CJ4Tha9Tray]

.this looks like Rap City bacc then

[doncer]

When Dougie E Fresh asked me to Choreograph this video at the World in NYC I had no idea how that was going to happen. Two days later Lionel C Martin the director called me & asked if I was available to choreograph a video for Dougie. This was my first choreography job as a teenager I had no prior experience just a great desire to freestyle. None of the dancers I hired showed up so I had to work with the extras to get the crowd moving. Glad people still doing The Dougie!

[msbutter29]

This was true Hip Hop without all nakedness... I love old school hip hop!!

[delf124]

We need that 4 finger rap back

[puddin3702]

love doug 

[coolymac]

Flashbacks of Video Music Box w/VJ Ralph McDaniels - LMAO!!! NOW THIS REAL SHIT! I hate the trash these microwave rappers put out 2day.

[xtr1gunf00lx]

DAMN HE CAN DO THE DOUGIE. He is obviously lightyears ahead of his time.

[ramonesc831]

@xtr1gunf00lx dem otha niggas took his dance why else would it be called THE DOUGIE...doug e....dougie....doug e...sounds alike dont it

[Nikelea]

@ramonesc831 The sad part is a lot of people don't even know this.

[invincibleironman3]

@Nikelea ...they know "The Dougie" dance.  Even Drew Stanton of the Detroit Lions did it when he scored..a TD last Sunday.!!!!

[Nikelea]

@invincibleironman3 I don't mean the dance, I mean where it originated from. Look at the comment I responded to and the comment he was responding to. You'll get what I mean. I'm not referring to people who grew up with it. I don't know who Drew Stanton is but I'm afraid that if I do learn who he is it will further illustrate my point. Heck, even some people who know who Doug is or those who only know him as "beatbox guy" don't know about his signature dance.

[ozulu45]

ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS THAT HAD "REAL" DJS SCRATCHIN ! BARRY B WAS RIPPIN ALOT OF STYLES BACK THEN! MOST OF YOU TURDTABLIST NEED TO STUDY SHIT PRE QBERT! YOU DONT NEED TO CRAB AND ORB ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH NO RHYTHM TO BE DOPE! AND ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU CYBER TWATS USE THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! LEARN HOW TO DIG FOR "NEW" SOUNDS TO CUT ON A RECORD!! BUT GEE MOST OF YOU ARENT EVEN BLACK NOW! SO IT'S HOPELESS!

[rapattackwax]

@ozulu45 You talking smack, I'm sure you don't even know how to do what any of those guys that made a name for themselves do, Past or Present! You're just like some of them ugly bitches that criticize other chicks that look way better than they do. If you can't do it better than shut the fuck up nobody truly gives a fuck about your dumbass opinion anyways, you're just some Stupid Ass Internet Nerd trying to spread your virus around.

[ozulu45]

@rapattackwax sounds like i hit a little touchy girls feelings? must be that time of the month for you? to go on cyber rant! you cant even talk on shit that i just said BITCH! try a dildo next time your on the rag! and WHO THE FUCK ASKED YOU WHITE GIRL!!

[Rappalot126]

This was 2 years before I was born.

With that being said, THIS is how you Dougie.

This is the only way.

[Sonoranwind]

[TheGemini90]

I usually don't like the samples better than the originals...but THIS one?! Yes ma'am!

[billyripp]

I still bump this song like it just came out. Old hip hop lives on. 1988

[MysticSandRuler]

I'm only 15, but even I can see the music blasted on the radio today is nothing like it was back when rap and hip-hop was actually good. I'm black and I used to hate rap, until I started listening to underground and oldschool..

This is sweet,

[watchdis1977]

[lomos72]

[leroy592]

@lomos72 That was one of the easiest dances to do. Everyone could do that and the wop.

[lomos72]

@leroy592  I wasn't saying it was a hard thing! lol.

Just stated that it was a Dougie classic, thats all. ; )
