CLASSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[KurtCobainof21]

The MCs rappers or whatever you call them sound American? Are they faking the accent?

[bartlemy]

@KurtCobainof21 - Rapping in a Uk accent was never gonna be cool my man...so a compramise had to be made..

[KurtCobainof21]

@bartlemy Not quite true, most UK rappers these days rap in their brit accents

[bartlemy]

@bartlemy I agree - but thats called Grime and its basically rubbish....

[BimbleB]

Ahh nostalgia :)

[TheDalstonPonys]

Saw them in concert in 1985 .. everyone in the audience was breakdancing..

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@TheDalstonPonys did u really

[RadiumAudioLtd]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 yes.

[Cyrillion]

I like prodigy and I'm not anti-sampling, but damn, girls is basically a remix of this track oO

The rhythm, drumtrack, bassline, progression

[Zer0kill001]

@Cyrillion welcome to the world of electro music man...

[FinnishHopToYT]

@Cyrillion What part of dj'ing you didn't understand? Every song from daft punk is sampled, because they are djs too.

[RustyNex]

if you came here just looking for the Prodigy sample it starts here: 0:46

[pontello3]

cool!

[RitmoNo1]

I remember these guys practising every week at Wigan Pier on Tuesday nights. Greg Wilson the resident DJ became their manager. I remember this played for the first time on Radio Piccadilly (later Key 103) in Manchester on Mike Shafts "Taking Care of Business" (TCOB) on a Monday night. I have it on an old cassette somewherein my attic with Greg and Mike Talking about it briefly.

[kmne11528]

Does anyone have the original vid for this tune? It had two crews breakin against each other on a council estate, it was probably the first top notch UK breakin vid.

[stevefoydickinson]

i remember seeing this crew on No 74 , that shit saturday morning back in 1984 , wiv dat dyke Sandy Toksvijc

[lemonproject]

@stevefoydickinson they used to have loads of djs on there back in the day, chad jackson amongst others.

[stevefoydickinson]

@lemonproject I have djayed wiv chad jackson , i had a record shop / recording studio in uxbridge back in late 80s early 90s and he was good friends with my business partner Joe Borgia , we done a lot of work for jungle brothers , rocky n diesel all the junior boys own lot - terry farley pete heller and the like

[lemonproject]

@stevefoydickinson Yeah respect mate, went straight into dance scene when got too old for breaking..lol

Loved jnr boys own/jungle brothers. Have a look on here for the street machine renuion, well worth a watch/nostalgic trip.

[stevefoydickinson]

@lemonproject Same as mate - although when drunk enogh the breakdancing tends to rear its ugly head - which my mrs loves - NOT !!

[bugstrut]

@stevefoydickinson 73 mate, 73. Your memory must be fading in your old age!! By the way, speaking of which, did you know that the ginger bird,, who used to skate around the house on roller boots, won an Oscar a few years ago, for a documentary she made?

[entrokid]
