Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force

[whitejasper13]

ratm fuckin suck, cmon metal rap? anti establishment (and frankly crap) lyrics whilst on a major label that simon cowell owns. fucking shit, although their cover of this track rocks.

[ANTHRAXCUDA]

I'm not too sure what to think of this.

[PompeyStevieSoul]

Geez do you lot know anything about music -afrika bambaataa is the pioneer of hip hop and to say that RATM version is better is utter lunacy.....this guy is a genius...FACT !!

[houseofboom]

@fr3shjr-All ya' have to do is look back to the 70's & observe a l'il band called Parliment/ Funkadelic.

[MrNightro]

Now you can see where Black Eye Peas got their inspiration from.

[11joshman]

i like RATM's version better

[marleySux]

not as bad as todays r+b

[loilk]

Dam loved it!!!!! Funky!!!!

[psymon2005]

I can appreciate that these guys did this song first, but i prefer the RATM version. That's just a personal view though, probably influenced by my love for rock over rap. This just sounds like sitcom intro music to me.

[JCDC110]

i wish i knew a club dedicated to this awesome funky 80s hip hop shit

[fr3shjr]

Okay, the music is dope

and all but I would love to

know what posessed them

to wear what they wore! They

looked a hot mess! lol

[TopGunOriginal]

This is one of those classic examples where the original is not better then the cover. Ok im ready for the thumbs down.

[ramiro1105]

Funky!

[Fobio4004]

wow compared to this RATM sounds like hardcore version of funk

[suklaakani]

RATM is Funkmetal band or was.. :D

[sincerelykeith]

Agree (:

[balas31690]

wow..this is old school hip hop at its best..

[Gtherocker]

wow, this is like, early hip hop or disco, or something like that. and the rage version sounds like heavy metal.

[GFFGhost]

This song is amazing!

[theegyptianlover]

bbc must of been huge in the 80's

[phailez]

Is this Disco?

wtf

[theegyptianlover]

no its electro-funk

[gasto1980]

no this is the ferst pure hip hop

[StrictlyBG]

This is Rap ..e-Funk ...or in other words HIP HOP

[lLikeMaple]

i agree :P

[girleosso]

they just don't make them like this..... shame! i know music has to move on but it's still a shame.... could someone please send me perfect bet thanks....

[missbehavior01]

funky as can b

[rocksation]

hahahhaaaa hahahaaa

[B1SCOOP]

RATM version is cool, but original is still better

[dumd1ddly]

lol this is funny but yea I like the Rage version better

[BlueBlaze55]

totally, Rage FTW

[BLACKSHADOWRK11]

if u have grand theft auto vice city stories listen to fresh 105 fm and den listen to this song its mad in rap

[Audioman45]

Like Chief Sitting Bull!

TOM HANKS!

Dr. Martin Luther King!

Malcom X!

...just kidding, but that's what I used to think he said.

[bodies42099]

hahah...same

[kk1313]

i respect this song but the lyrics dont flow as well as in the ratm version

[filogonio]

niggas only blues

[AxBARxOFxSOAP]

Im putting this on my iPOD!!!

[Gustavrum]

ratm version is better

[GPPro99]

Yeah, and Snoop Dogg did Ladi Dadi better too...

[AxBARxOFxSOAP]

well without this song..RATM woudnt done a better song..

[Xelso69]

that doesnt change the fact that RATM version is better lol

[AxBARxOFxSOAP]

if you put it this way..who are the ones that first made the song...music changes..this version was in the 80s..RATM's version was in the 90s

[killyourown25]

If Rage were in the 80s the would have changed shit then. Your argument is pointless. Its just a matter of opinion if someone prefers the Rage version to this.

[AxBARxOFxSOAP]

soul sonic force and afrika had the brains to come up with this song...and most people who heard the RATM version probably don't know this version exist.if RATM did this in the 80s,then it wouldnt be known by many people..

[tomatokatsup]

RATM's version was a lot better produced, afrika came up with the words, but RATM and Rick Rubin's version has its own orignal music. Which is better than this pile, lol

[AxBARxOFxSOAP]

yeah because this was made in the 80's and RATM's made theirs in the 90's..technology improves..

[chestdubya]

what are you trying to prove, the guy just said he likes the rage version better you just keep repeating that this is rom the 80s like its gunna change his opinion the decade's irrelevant to the guys preferance of this song, david bowie wrote man who sold the world in 1970 and i prefer the nirvana version from 93, i still love all bowies music especially the old stuff, and there was no new technology involved in their version, it was acoustic.

[AxBARxOFxSOAP]

i would like the guys who first wrote the song first to get some credits..how would you feel if someone re-wrote your song and their version is more popular...people will think they made it and somehow you would feel *let down* and forgotton..

[chestdubya]

thats fair enough i see your point

[onerighteousdude421]

The RATM album Renegades is strictly covers, no duh people know its a cover.

[willywonka091]

i like the kraftwerk ode at 1:32! bambaataa is the illest.

[Banaszkiewicz1]

man, i wish i was 18 years old during this time period

[CicatrizESP1992]

Dude i like rage but nothing beats this.

[gangstanaruto3]

is this the song from Vice City Sories?!

[Banaszkiewicz1]

that it is my son, that it is

[tjockiiz]

yes it is

[autumnshade41]

i really do prefer rages version. this seems proper odd

[liverrush1]

Takes me back. Simply awesome.

[selmabaysal]

The perfect breakdancemusic,

inmydaysanyway....

peace.

[sannyme]

brill...........

[Chaosridden22]

Afrika Bambaataa RULE.

[eromane]

NYC ROCKS

[scatterman66]

lol dummy get your facts right this came out first youngster

[Steffilum]

How?

This track is years older!

[seeem]

is it fuck. Ye it's an original, tommy boy record, africa bambatta, produced by arthur baker

[FYTYTY]

lol i didnt know that the song rage against the machine did was a cover -_-

[funk24]

Well Since Rage's "Renegades" Album Was A Cover Album...How Did You Not That? They Did Afrika Bambaata, Bob Dylan, Cypress Hill, Eric B & Rakim, etc.

[GlassCheerios]

yeah there are only like 3-4 original songs on that entire CD

[nexia4]

I'm pretty sure all the songs on that album are covers, no orginal songs at all, they did alter them quite a bit tho, as u can tell if u hear their version of this song! Amazing album. x

[GlassCheerios]

yeah my friend couldnt find some on his cover site...so we just assumed they snuck new ones in...

they may be covers we just couldnt find the original artists of some
