Mixmaster Gee and The Turntable Orchestra - The Manipulator

[navyman4]

This is the ABSOLUTELY HARDEST rap song to date.

NOT ONE CUSS WORD.....

NOT ONE MENTION OF A GUN....

Yet when I hear this I'm not afraid of anything or anybody!

[patlew86]

I remember this from back n the day

[MrSpeedking41]

I'm now 42 years old and this jam was the shyt when I was 17! I remember cruisin the strip in my home town in my Feiro GT jammin this cut to like no tomorrow, over and over again!

[Moviaque]

One of the greatest tracks in electro-history. ("I pee u later." LOL)

[CAB4SHO]

This is the SHIT!!!

[Evile9669]

@CAB4SHO a classic

[sminnims]

killa

[48state]

One of my all time favorite rap tracks. I bought this with the original sleeve design and someone stole it from me. I managed to buy another copy but could never find it with the original artwork. Thanks so much for uploading this.

[ticoinjapan]

@48state you can find it with original picture sleeve on ebay, if you check it regurlarly, appr price is $40

[traeday46]

[500cherish]

[tmdkone]

Anyone know where you can buy a legal mp3?

[TheAmbassador11]

I'm in my 50's and I like this... What's that you young people say? "This is stupid main, dude is comin' correct"!

[pstrscott]

This song kills alot of this mess out here now. All he's talking about is his craft. Back when Hip Hop was real.

[MrOgkawboy]

now this is some lowdown dirty south funk swangin n bangin ride claen n on the creep

[JoeAble72]

[MuuzarMusic]

[50331]

[babah77088]

The Manipulator MANIPULATOR

[chrisarriaga1209]

i used to have this jam when it was 85' i was in 6th grade homie!



[YellaDevil1]

Who is the WONDERFUL crate digger that found this gem? I haven't heard this one since I was in like the 8th grade.

[ticoinjapan]

@YellaDevil1 hello, did anybody call me? hehe

[jkftl]

I dislike ALL rap and related garbage BUT this one jumped off the radio BACK THEN and has stayed with me all these years. I bought the 12" vinyl and would sell it to an interested person. I just need a digital copy first. As an electrical engineer I noticed right away that the speaker was actually a good technician, who had adopted the 'rap' genre to make a living. I have transcribed (as best I can) the lyrics and still find them entertaining.

John

[TheAndre396]

this is legendary

[NINJATRONdnb]

dam i havent heard this shit in years , cheers

[iamslam2012]

DJ Slam is one of the best dj's I've ever heard, He is more than a dj ,much more.

[MyNatboy]

M-A-N-I-P-ULATER!!!! ENUFF SAID

[palomino13]

a few years back i talked to a local radio jock that scratched on the air.(i was airbrushing a shirt for dude) he was younger and he said he knew this jam..he went to his closet and pulled out a silky windbreaker with the cover of this album custom embroidered in tokyo.i bugged out for a long time. the baddest jacket ever. this was and still is the shit ..

[thebrickmaster]

the best stride skate song ever to date dam my legs still hurt lol...

[bugstrut]

@thebrickmaster Stride skate?

[ultramag88]

massive ultimate classic tune

[cooldjflush]

That bell used to get me. Takes me back to the Jeff Mills mixes on Power 99 FM in Philly.

[turntabliss]

fuckin bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sumdompunk]

One of my all-time favs.  Never had the 12" but it was on a "Crucial Hip Hop" Vol. ? album mixed with Rock the Bells and into Roxanne Roxanne, in 86 or 87. Heavy!

[andrewpaudreyl]

I used to have this 45 with the cover but I didn't keep it ;(

[lala0578]

M A N I PU LA LA LA LA LATORRRRRRRRRRRRR ...I LOVE YOU HIPHOP!

[darealmr9394]

my dad told me about dis song, says it was a huge jam n da 80s...gotta say i like it

[daillmeskin]

I still got my original 12 inch vinyl of this. As a kid I would just sit and stare at the album cover for hours. Mixmaster Gee was an early inspiration for me. After hearing this joint I remember trying to find all sorts of records that had that Godzilla roar on it! It doesn't get any better than this for that time period.

[palomino13]

@daillmeskin i already had the gozilla sound. i had to find the "holly toledos batman" i had a hard time..i remember using a square plastic record cut out of a cereal box for one of the samples.

[kmal16]

A classic, I remember listening to this so many times, and copied this style when I used to perform hip hop on stage. This song got my blood boiling and angry as hell, ready to take the stage like a lion. hahahahah, great souvenirs. Excellent godzilla sample and great lyrics.

[th3azscorpio]

my bro born in '80 plays the hell out of this song to death still! sick beat and flo, most so-called rappers today cant even flow this good!

[AyseaTV]

for sho one of the greatest of all time m a n i p u later

[kaadauwgg]

I bought the single 12" .Sounded & played like someone buried it in dirt & bolts then package it up for me to buy.Damn I was mad.Still have it though.This is the best sound I've heard since the radio.Damn cheapazz no wax pressing record company.Yeah YouTube

[phillyfanatik]

Can you post up the dub version?

[Formuling]

Whhhoooooaaaa!! Maaaan its been a thousand years since I heard this song! Damn son!!! The long version too! I remember rewinding my tape til it popped listening to that Godzilla Sample!!!

[phillyfanatik]

Could you post up the dub? There was an extra rap he did - sick....He sounds like a mad LL Cool J...lol

Who'd think he'd be so prophetic when he said "THAT'S WHY I ROCK THE HOUSE VIA COMPACT DISC!!!!"

[DJJJINSTL]

this beat was sick.. and dude who rapped on spit hard as hell

[nnpjeste]

Man! You got to love it old school hiphop that timeless. This is why I keep me 1200.

[DJDreamy7]

its great! i used to listen to this stuff on mike allens hip hop show capital 95.8FM

[SituationHairy]

classical!

m-a-n-i-pee you later!

[inkredibuff]

he convinced me ..he must really be the manipulator!!!

[homicidelab]

this shit brings back memories...ahhh the scratch-mix chorus was the best...bring that shit back!!!

[zuluexcel]

Peace Tico , listening to this made me pull out my copies and start cuttin up again, love the breakdown to chorus and love the 6:46 section ,nice.

Peace

King Excel

Mighty Universal Zulu Nation.

[skillz1855]

[deeraw78]

Wow this brings me way back i used to bump this shit when i was 8!!!

[michaelsumner5]

Looking for this on vinyl if anyone's selling?

[navyman4]

Without ONE MENTION of guns or fighting, this song comes off HARD without any mention of any of them.

[djfingersflores]

damn!... this was the song that got me wanting to be a battle dj !.. 1986-87 was a great year for hip hop!..

[aandddesign]

This is a masterpiece of recorded music; I've been scratchin' since '84.

[Epitaph72]

Damn!! I ain't heard this song since my guy had it on his mixtape from the 80's. Still bumps.

[defcreator]

Ice T's Ya don't quit is a simular track

[crunk601]

@defcreator Yes, Ice T did sample this for Ya Don't Quit. Classic shit. my favorite song of all time!!!

[crunk601]

@defcreator Yes, Ice T sampled this for Ta Don't Quit. my favorite track of all time. I battled so many rappers to this song.

[defcreator]

@crunk601

no man this ain't true as ya don't quit is from 85 and the manipulator from 86.

[crunk601]

really? ok then. but it's damn close.

[pastorblove]

First song i ever made was off of this instrumental. It was a song about the Buick Regal back in 88-89 when Regals & Cutlass was the joint.

[zeljr]

This is USHAY!!!

[ultramag88]

[hostile4life]

[aandddesign]

I am still "member' of 'Bring Back The Original Facebook'; the more anyone looks at it; the more fb can charge for ad revenue. That peaked about one year ago. My recent Alarm was not false[Apple failed to identifySummer'09;]that is whyThey stayed digital all this time, and wonder why...

I am not laughing as I write this.

[dah72007]

I got this track on an electro album, awesom stuff!

[demoremda]

[mrsixty5]

[ticoinjapan]

So all you newshool lovin' bitches get the fuck off of this channel because the dj is scratchin' and cuttin' and rappin with a lyrical format. Good post...... Daaaaaaaaaaamn good post ticoinjapan, you definately no what true hiphop is.

[FrankWagtmans]

Still my favourite rap song of the 80 ies !!!

[billbiggsby]

This is a classic hip hop song! I remember every weekend someone would be bangin' this in their whip pickin' up chicks.

[mrdough32]

I had this Song but nobody could ever tell me who the artist was.THIS SONG Brought ALL the GIRLS OUTSIDE and they began to dance, no matter Where I went, if I had this song in the box, THEY ALL CAME OUT JUST TA GROOVE ta this SONG. Straight up homie

[derekrobinson356]

to leeallisonisgod, mix master "gee" was called greg" ski "royal" which is a name that is only given to a untouchable mix master , not like these wanta bee's that are out there now, greg got into doing remixes for alot of artistest and on many radio stations here in L.A.the orchestra some thing they tried in new york were he is from that didn't work out I think but not for sure but they were real, look up -greg ski -royal aka mix master gee he has done so many remixes for many artist.

[the40king]

I've been on the D.J. competition scene since the early 90's and been street battling dudes since the middle 80's, they used to call me DJ Melody, but for you young cats, take it from us old school dj's, people didn't used to take mixin' and scratchin serious, they thought we were jokes, movin their hands goin "wicky wicky". This was the first song to truly express that WE DON'T FUCKIN PLAY WHEN IT COMES TO OUR TECHNICS 1200's! So to all dj's out there, keep rockin those turntables. 419 4 eva

[MrRGOFF]

goffslidell- Dude i remember this cut when i was in high school and jr high. Man we used to blast this on the blocks like we owned it. and block parties house parties. This was the breaking yrs was all about (FUN)...

@the40king word!

[NatCargil]

@the40king no doubt homie, you hit the nail on the head

[bugstrut]

@the40king What battles did you enter? NMS? DMC? I used to battle myself. I must've spent thousands of hours hunched up over my turntables practicing juggles and scratches, and I never made a penny out of it, because I was a straight up battler, and wasn't interested in playing in clubs.

[jointbuttz]
