[2441883]

@kylefont1 Could it be Cedric the Entertainer doing his thing on Kings of Comedy? He was really funny talking about how gangs used to be about busting a move instead of busting a cap! He did a dance to this song.

[Motherfucka01]

[THEGetFreshCrew1]

DEFINITELY, old school hip-hop is the dominator in music!!! 1978-1990 is the "KING" period of rap. The "Golden Age" of rap.....nothing better or fresher!!!

[omfgomfgomfg123123]

This is now my themesong :D

[721rem]

back in the day when rap was synonomous with ghetto dance not synonanous with gangs and death.

[721rem]

[NarutoLoverify]

I am i the only ine brought here from watching the Proud Family movie. By the way, love this song^^

[TheDoormat2u]

[Shelby502420]

The first 45 seconds of this song are absolute perfection!! Gets me so hype I could run up a wall!

[kiepomas1]

[JEWNOO8989]

[Hazardiousmatze]

best 240p quality ever! awesome :)

[TheWicho46]

13 people can't feel the perfect beat.

Or there own beat, so just beat off...

[BabyTorres]

After 30+ years this jam is still relevant. These over autotuned youngsters don't know nothin' about this. Musically we had it so freaking good in the 80's. I still like some of today's hip hop and R&B, we will simply never be able to capture music like these beats ever again.

[jahinfinite]

I'm at my desk at work trying not to pop. I'm ready to battle right here and now!

[bheinz57vids]

@jahinfinite Get the cardboard out in the break room...

[julsman1]

@bheinz57vids or a piece of linolium lol

[eehab1234]

@jahinfinite LMFAAAAAAAAOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[djfoil]

@jahinfinite I'm doing the same damn thing. LMFAO. I had bust off 4 or 5 pops!!

[jcortiz9]

@jahinfinite Made me laugh for real!..I'm trying not to do the same right now.

[tuffty69]

@jahinfinite hahaha siiiick

[elspoko]

@jahinfinite You just made me choke on my drink. I'm doing the same and feel the same exact way.

[SYLVIAtunerrb25dett]

Im 43 years old , Yeah I had a crew back in the day, tore shit up , had a killer routine to this , still remember my part . Everytime i hear this it takes me back to the 80s....... What fool ?step to me a hell nawwww!!!!!

[low72]

@SYLVIAtunerrb25dett no, you're not 43 years old, you're just trying to get thumbs up, but you failed ;)

[SYLVIAtunerrb25dett]

@low72 I dont even know why Im replying to your trolling comment. . If you dont believe me thats your problem .I can prove my age , but why should I ? I dont give a shit about thumbs up count. You fail @ life by trolling youtube and making stupid assumptions.Who put you in charge of being the truth police ? Your the one who fails , Dont you have anything better to do?

[tuffty69]

@SYLVIAtunerrb25dett massive respect brother, i'm 42 and this tune always sent chills down my spine..just had to get up and start poppin , lockin and breakin...SSF and Africa bambata ahead of their time...

[MrJmedeiros40]

Oh yeah,loving this. memories, awesome. Cant help but to try to dance in front of the computer.lol

[discomusic1966]

13 people are NOT looking for the perfect beat

[teleseism]

Even in Iceland it was listened to in the 80's ;-) Today the music industry recycles the 80's music !

[AlgisKemezys]

cool tune.

[whyyoulidl]

can't add any more than posted by MrLimon below. Amen. TGF youtube and you guys out there. keep it real :-)

[MrLimon74]

I don't know how many of you grew up to this...but this is when music was REALLY music...now of this cursing women, nothing about shootin someone, nothing about how much money they have...none of that. These were the days when living life, going to house and block parties were all we looked forward to. no worries about what would happen. Now-a-days...there are too many people trying to be something they know they are not. This music will never die.

[MyTeelee]

@MrLimon74

Yea back when people heard a song and wanted to dance. Now we have songs where people get up and want to fight.

[djpio707]

this song is much better than 99% of hiphop music today THUMBS UP!!

[Aceninja4]

Heard this On the Proud Family Movie :P

[BsCeltics]

@Aceninja4 Me To Lol !!!!!!!

[jericho4004]

Warning to my older peers: DO NOT try to uprock or pop lock. We do not need to break our hips or have a heart attack. We gotta be at work in the morning. LOL! j/k

[darcy9094]
