KURTIS BLOW - " IF I RULED THE WORLD "

[BillyKayn]

somthin about this video seem vice lord like

[adam6699able]

I know Kurt had to be sweating with that Jery-curl perm on top of his head,plus those tight black leather pant's and jacket had to be uncomfortable;but this is a true classic for all music fan's.

20 million people all unemployed while you rich men try to play Pretty boy Floyd while the working class just struggles hard try to make ends meet against all odds while the poor man cant even deal with life you know he tried to escape by smokin coke from a pipe...

[MrTrackfreek]

[mookeychase0907]

@MrTrackfreek If only people knew...

[LortheBlair]

Check out my FACEBOOK page "I Survived the South Bronx in the '70s & '80's"!

[edwardoalvarez22]

It's people like this that ruins neighborhoods and make it a less attractive place to live. There are called Ghetto Niggers that should be strongly discriminated by State and Federal Governments.

[zfree8]

This song from the movie has lyrics that are a lot more politically conscious than the radio version:

While the working class just struggles hard/

try to make ends meat against all odds/

while the poor man cant even deal with life/

you know he tryin to escape it smokin coke in a pipe/

And more. Incredible.

[ummabdurrahman1]

I LOVE KRUSH GROOVE!!!! They don't make music/ movies like they use to. SMH

[djfernando00]

/watch?v=O7axo3k1pok...vejam esse e muito bom...

[AChozenSunn]

UNDERSTAND that if you think hip hop today is crap, stay out the maistream, check the underground. Visionaries, 2mex, K-The-I???, Wu-tang & Wu Fam, Busdriver, Immortal Technique, Killah Priest, Guilty Simpson and many many more. ya aint lookin hard enough

[KurtisTheGuy]

@AChozenSunn hip hop and rap suck

[AChozenSunn]

@KurtisTheGuy y are u here?

[dved2265]

@AChozenSunn they suck cause all they talk about is ass and tits who cares about that crap

[AChozenSunn]

@dved2265 i do. but most of the music i listen to is deeper than that. u must not have been refering to the MC i listed. either that or you didnt listen to them

[lusteeluva]

This is where it all began <3

[CHOZENBY3]

People must understand that RAP & hip hop IS NOT THE SAME, THEREFORE, HIP HOPPERS AREN'T EVEN ON THE SAME LEVEL AS RAPPERS. RAPPERS RAP-hip hopper "PERFORM" fake songs!

[Haktuspit]

@CHOZENBY3 Uhhh you kinda got it screwed up. "Rappin is something you do, hip hop is somethin you live." Ask KRS. Problem is everyone is focused on a bunch of rappers and their jewelry and MTV cribs and the true students of hip hop are underground and their only hope of making it is selling their skills out.

[Robin4ever1970]

Kurtis Blow can SING!

[qloudz]

This song is fucking amazing. Way underrated.

[olmec19]

@Bkr0127-A Few Of The Artist U Mention I Like Esp Immortal Technique But I Stand By What I've Stated-Todays Hip Hop Is Crap-Look At Clowns Like Soulja Boy,Young Jeezy,Rick Ross And Even Kanya West At Times And Personally I Believe That Lyrical Wise You'll Have Your Hands Full With Likes Of-Rakim,KRS-One,Chuck D,MC-Lyte,Kool G Rap,BD Kane,Q Tip And Others. Respect To The True School Of Hip Hop!!

[CHOZENBY3]

@olmec19 -AMEN-!

[LionBeatsProductions]

[jacksonrrr]

I mean not all rap sucks look at Lupe, B.o.B and wale there pretty good

[nastyblock]

[flair777ytube]

one of the best hip hop songs ever

[1cyndy]

i love him so much !

[zfree8]

This version of the song is amazing! It has a much more political message.

[PeekaBooo08]

lol look at LL Cool J with the wheelbarrow @ 2:40

[cubanbrown]

Brilliant!!

When this came out, breaking was still widely unknown to the young 'BLACKS' on the street.

The scene started on the streets of Covent Garden & under the silver dial dirty floors of Liescester Square.

Great times!

[youngmook88]

hell ya

[columni06]

[tytyboogy]

[olmec19]

Yes Today's Rap Music Is Crap!! We Need More Artist Like Curtis Blow,PE,KRS-One,Big Daddy Kane,Kool Moe Dee,X-Clan And Others Who Not On Some Chaotic And Destructive BS!! 1 Luv!!

[bkr0127]

@olmec19 Today's Rap is not that bad. Try to tell me Papoose, can't lyrically slaughter anyone you just mentioned. Brother Ali is the truth. Immortal Technique is amazing. Lupe is sick. Nas, Jigga, Ice Cube, Eminem, Dr. Dre and others are still making music. Mos Def & Talib both are on the same level as those you mentioned. And thats not everybody. Hip Hop is doing just fine.

[kevzero11]

@olmec19 I agree,original BBoy from Bonnie Scotland.

[thesouthrapsucks]

@olmec19 true that !!! fuck lil gay wanye fuck souja boy fuck gucci lips fuck lip gloss rick ross aka tha fat cop fuck dj khaled aka tha arab fuck drake tha cakee fuck b.e.t and that fuckin baby boy movie they play 24/7 fuck tha homo life stye in hiphop and fuck RADIO!!!peace curtis blow im 17 fromohio but i know real hiphop and i bow to this HIPHOP GOD!!!

[librastar88]

@olmec19 You Got that Right!

[rrvyt]

@olmec19 hey 50 thumz-up for olmec19's comment ! 

[ericcontroversy]

nas version might be better...

[pyrouzi]

It is better.

[MzSherice]

I think Kurtis was the first sex symbol of hip hop and FINE (still is)!! Many claimed to be sexy and was azz ugly!!! But Kurtis, was GORGEOUS and a gentlemen who made sense!

[violetcloud]

LOL the part where like 50 white folks just walked in, but only RUN DMC gets stopped XD 2:42 - 2:47

[fux967]

Watch my Rapper's Delight!!!!!!

[skee37wee]

Yes, this was when Rap was cool and safe to listen to....

[MeaningCorrupted1]

what do you mean safe?

[the1mills]

PC, now I feel like I am gonna get shot or shoot someone on rap

[MeaningCorrupted1]

lol like a zombie, i'm a rap zombie... whenever i hear NWA i just gotta eat some brains, uh, after i shoot them of course.

[jkbezo]

Back when rap was fun.

[lahcymqq]

Eight million stories by Kurtis was real nice, just like the Message by Melle-Mel and the boyz.

[lahcymqq]

Kurtis was dope. Melle-Mel and KB were the first hard-core rappers. Rakim, Kool G Rap, Chuck D, and KRS followed.

[sholtube]

1st time. thought Nas was the only one... Kuris Blow did it for Rap..

[raider8sox]

Classic!.

[DIZZLEyrf]

i have explored more than you apparently ...hip hop is not dying, it's on the come up. There are plent of high calibur rappers in the indie and underground scene, and i'm confident that people will eventually realize that the current mainstream[or waynestream as i like to call it] is garbage. You ironically seem to have a pretty pessimistic view point considering you're complaining about negativity in music.

[DIZZLEyrf]

you clearly haven't explored ALL hip hop...not all artists talked about killing, drugs, and debauchery. You're using unfair examples like souljah boy and 50 cent. Good artists still exist today as well...even by your standards[unless you can't handle the complexity of their lyrics.]

[ManNOhnEKopF]

to say the new lyrics are only about killing and stuff is at least that dumb like saying the old lyrics were only preschool poetry..

sometimes that are easy lyrics u dont forget sometimes complexe ones.. and sometimes lyrics with a background.. now and 20 yeaars ago..

[DIZZLEyrf]

too bad their lyrics are as simple as preschool poetry projects. Hip-Hop peaked in the mid 80's to late 90's...then it fell down the other side of the hill it climbed

[heres22]

this was the jam i was like 9; i rule the world. all the diamonds and pearls.

[oeandme]

was this off crush grove?

[obogalooga]

its amazing how back then they could make u dance and still spit a message.

[ColoriaCleo]

Check out Obama "Today is my day" feat.Coloria

[nakiar2004]

maaann, i remember going to see this in theaters...South DEKALB MALL>>>Atl...i remember oh my goodness..too siiicckk!!!!!

[zfree8]

What is this version of this song? The studio versions that I have heard are nowhere near as politically conscious. This is just amazing.

[honeyb115]

His curl was sooo nice....he had that shag too. SEXY!

[mekos]
