Stetsasonic "Talkin All That Jazz"

[ff43v3r]

This was what hip hop was all about. Not the poppy manufactured shit you get today. Thank fuck for the underground.

[LeaderQuest]

thumbs up if Prince Paul bought u here

[RockingTheFro]

Holy jump cuts Batman.

[KeepinItReal0247]

Music today is now ran by rich businessmen. They don't care about real music, culture, and poetry. It's all commercial now and it's destroying and brainwashing the youth. The 80's music was definitely where it was at.

[DavidivSPARQ11]

The funny thing is that today's "hip-hop" isn't creative, inspires violence and the artist don't make anything new.

[PS3xMedia]

can anyone help me out?

i seem to have a different version of the song than most people do, mine goes on for 5 minutes and 17 seconds. it sounds a little different than this version but it still sounds fantastic

i heard on the re-release on this album they had 3 different versions aswell as the original on it

[Cwally8]

Wait, Wait, Wait hip hop without singing about drinking, shooting someone and fuckin bitches. It's a miracle this actually makes sense it's got a good beat and it takes talent. It's like current hip hop actually had to try and fuck something this good up.

[clevelandtyler2]

@Cwally8 Back when hip hop was actually fun.

[MicroWave2O]

lol "thievery in the form of sampling"

[skeletonbite]

"crap" was censored. come on...

[BookingBossDC]

@skeletonbite LOL, right .. i'm lik wtf they blankin that out hahaha

[oldskoolrichba]

you dont get flow like that no more.smooth!

[Hoover5823]

Troop was owned by the clan , once that came out, troop died real quick in hip hop culture. M.C. Shan put them on blast !

[kmovado]

@Hoover5823 Urban legend but I remember calling folks out for wearing Troop. No internet then to refute the silliness.

[LILCBOY15]

one of the most influental songs and group in history of hip hop.

[garrettjackson1000]

Much respect this group i havent heard knowledge like that forever

[manfocused]

Wait. Did they really censor the word "crap"?

[geetarxist]

[derrawhide]

[ayoitsmeeeh]

All i hear today is idiots "Talking Jazz" about the considered hip hop today. But idiots dont know what REAL hip hop is. It aint that autotune pop tacky beat shit they play nowadays.

[randomhenchmen]

Everyone in this crew did great, Stetsasonic+Rza+Poetic Aka Grym Reaper=The Gravediggaz.

RIP Poetic

[hotandspicy666]

Seriously - this is hip hop caviar. Stepta are too good. Brilliant.

[stormgt2]

[wilzusuki]

[operationmongoose1]

Stetsasonic's music is great. They are in the top ten of 80's hip hop groups.

[ONEZ2K6]

Dayum Hot shit... What was the James Brown drum beat that was sampled in this? it is the sickness to this day!!

[sprv4good]

Liked it as a kid and still do, BUT , the part that says "tell the truth, James Brown was old, til Eric B. & Rakim came out with (I know you got soul) was all WRONG. That's not by James Brown. It's Bobby Byrd- I Know You Got Soul

[vellyvell33]

old school rap had purpose and meaning...now we have more confusion in rap today...mouth be movin but they ain't sayin nothin..fa real

[IceManLikeGervin]

Stetsasonic the 1st live hiphop band in full & total dope cognitive hiphop e-f-f-e-c-t!!

[paulmoity]

I find myself saying this a lot. Rap died about 91

[COUNTCARDULAR]

@paulmoity struggled then finally died by 2000 AD id say. i never bought another piece of vinyl after 2000

[ratm1211]

Daddy-O is the voice of Dead Mike (rapping of course) in the movie CB4.

[charlyblues]

that's the dude from kid creole behind the bar. damn never spotted that before.

this joint by the way, used to be played at nght in the nineties, and at that time I would be sleepy, but this joint would wake me up instantly, and afterwards leave me with trouble getting to sleep. That's hiphop!

[eleesmith]

[therealbrooksie]

[efxqxtyjzbl]

[msguss04]

I hope O'lSkool comes back around like bell bottoms. Sure miss the REAL rap. Can't stand today's CRAP. Keep the music alive O'lSkool cats

[bluescousa]

@msguss04 this aint old skool! its TRUE SKOOL! hip hop fo life! hip Pop sucks!

[MRRWJ2]

[Shormik]

Every time I listen to this track , i have stupid smile on my face . :)

[Decadent36]

"...is not creative" if only the white guy with glasses at the beginning knew what was to come he'd think this shit was like Beethoven and Bach in comparison!

[andyk21]

Get out the old Troop Tracksuits and BK Kicks !!! Come on!

[aappiinna]

@7briguy The producer of the song was Delite.

[Cappadonna72]

@7briguy - Yep

[rob122458]

This is real hiphop , check out the bassline alone with the raps that are saying something with meaning . You cant beat old skool hiphop .

[LakeRafiD]

@rob122458

I totally agree with you 100%.

[bluemonkjd]

[atlanta4950]

1986-1990

[lift0dem0weights1]

Man this is when it was good. Makes u wanna flip up da bills on ur Adidas again

[fourtrees44]

This is a classic song, from the period of time when people liked hip hop were truly into hip hop, not this commercial crap which dominates, with corporate influence of music.

[canecreek00]

i remember back in the lates 80's we used to have a video juke box in our local pub and we used to play this all the time , one of the best rap tracks ever made.

[Insoniax2]

They definitely don't make them like this anymore!

[MrCheffie71]

[S17mma]

Lil Wayne and all you fools learn from the Old Skool Masters that paved the way for you...bring it back to REAL HIP-HOP!

[Formuling]

@Gravity...Cosign boss!! That garbage on the Radio today is nothing like the creativity back in the Day. Hip Hop was fairly new and improving everyday...it peaked when it turned Gangster and all the Drug Slinging Lingo and hood Rats started rapping about their illegal lifestyle. Be they Lies or truth, It has played out. Now we got Trap music talking about absolutely NOTHING...Rims, and Candy Paint.. Seen it all before and tired of it. UNDERGROUND is where hip hop lives now.

[hightillidie69]

18 year old from da new generation, jus showin my luv 4 da olda generation and their music, keep it real

[ENOCHwithaGLOCK]

one of the first songs i fell in love with, when i was 10 or so, it was on the video game "thrasher skate and destroy".

[francklb]

THANKS FOR VIDEO

[RAIDERS58th]

Quality! Pure and simple quality!

[MetroidMgsDude]

I give my thanks to Thrasher,, if it werent for that game i would have never got into hip-hop :P

[TheReapersSon]

@MetroidMgsDude

Thrasher: Skate and Destroy? I remember that game! Talkin' All That Jazz & Planet Rock were both top tunes on that soundtrack :)

[jonnboy27]

Hip Hop aint dead not yet atleast just being forgotten but now we left with lil wayne and drake....

[staticshock904]

Hip hop classic! They sure don't make songs like this anymore.

[berma051]

[trufiend138]

[DJCW]

[superflyqpr]

[SwatDawgg]

DeepSoulStetsa

SuperSonic

ForcedBreakFunk

Amazing!

[TheDuddaMan]

They all need to get on one label and kick ass

[SmooveJamminJames1]

I still have my cassette tape.

[rwetz32]

I remember jammin this back in the day when I was 8 or 9 years old.

[Wh15ky]

@guerillapro - "am i old or am i just not into the new SHIT?"

I'd say it's a bit of both, by the sounds of things your turning into the guy at the start of this video, but we all do, it's inevitable.

If parents are'nt complaining about the music their kids are listening to, then the people making the music the kids are listening to aren't doing it right.

[Lohnerider]

Hey i'm a skinny white-ass cracker and this is some cool music! This is the real shit! :D

[Daniel55556]

@Lohnerider No doubt.

[grizzuh]

brings back memories..... the police caught me, while i was steeling the STETSASONIC cd!

holy shit, i have allmost forgotten about tthat. LOL sorry mama!

[alanXxX95]

nice chanel bro ill scribe ;D

[Avraps]

awesome

[engage7632]

I listen to metal and I'll be damned If this isn't great... What the fuck happened to rap/hip hop! It's absolute shit now!

[pscomics]

engage7632

It got dumbed down to appeal to the lowest common denominator. You mentioned metal. I often compare this era in hip hop to the so-called "hair band era" of metal, where (in my opinion) skills took a second place to image. My hope is, there will be some new sound that resurrects hip-hop, just as (in my opinion) grunge resurrected rock. I hope I didn't offend anyone with these statements.

Peace

[realityme]

@pscomics

You comment was on point and a very clear analysis of the state of rap/hip hop music.

[pscomics]

@realityme

Thanks, bruh.

[macflow14]

In this channel I find the best rap old school songssss

(L)

[rootsless78]

I want those days back..

[actionjackson4441]

Originators the Hip hop band, real music and serious MC'S

[gravity5]

just when i start to lose faith in hip-hop, i remind myself of songs like this

[mrpapafunky7879]

@gravity5 also remind yourself the crappier new music gets the better the old music sounds today.i feel bad 4 this new gen growing with this crap. lucky us

[LakeRafiD]

@gravity5

I know, right?

[lommylom]

i was blessed to grow up in that era

[irndemon]

This sampled Lonnie liston smith - 'Expansions'

bassline!

[Br4ZuCa]

love this. Amazing 5*

[funderburkefundi]

(C) 1988 Tommy Boy Music

[ballerxp]

CLASSIC...

[printer944]

Love this tune, when on youtube I listen to blues jazz dub this kind of hip hop everything people seem to get more eclectic in musical taste all the time thanks to things like this

[SAGE144]

this is the culmination of hip-hop

[selfexplanitory]

This song should be geared towards WMG

[guerillapro]

amazing song! why isnt there music like this anymore? am i old or am i just not into the new SHIT?

[lommylom]

i feel ya on that

[catnip2002]

@guerillapro Not just you Haha! A lot of that new shit is just that, "SHIT" Music like this is what makes Old Skool, real music. Kinda sad to see good music like this replaced by crap like Kanye... Yeah the future is screwed. Lol!

[Daniel55556]

@guerillapro See I can sontimes accep new rap but I am most of a rocker. But this is really well composed, unlike others that always talk about raping people and drugs. :l

[bmdu69]

That's what i call the real sound of the hip hop-jazz, jazz forever man !

[behinderteleberwurst]

@guerillapro We're old, sorry. There are very few examples of good rap music, but those are the ones you don't see or hear about anywhere. And I'm 23 if that matters in any way.

[Dazast]

@guerillapro

It's here, all around, in pockets. I'm hittin 30 soon, but the past 2-years, I feel the vibe of raw creativity in the streets. Even the undaground was becoming over-produced and was starting to sound like 99.99% of garbage on the radio. But catz are coming back to the reality that a few baselines, with strums and a 2 or 4 samples with major adjustments is better. I saw some 16-yo's talking about WU & how UGod was the dude with the deep voice, that came out of nowhere! Only 16

[gpoyt]

None, its the music industry crashing which any self respecting human being wouldnt be into. (Infortunatly, most of humans of today are exposed to it almost since birth).

[MrNapt]

@guerillapro its because young kids like me are just dumb and dont understand music should be more then beats with words and that they should mean something and a whole generation is missing out on great music like this

[weezlebum147]

@guerillapro there still is music like this thats being made daily, just ya gotta look for it

[haykikos]

@guerillapro youre like me, youre just on teh right way! FUCK MAINSTREAM!!!!!

[snubbs741]

@guerillapro nah its not about age, i'm 17 and i cant fuckin stand the new mainstream hip hop

[missjenn35]

@guerillapro

trust me hun, you ain't old, i'm on the same page as you. the shit that's out is straight gahbage!!

[Sunnyyyyification]

whaz funny is aint a thing changed...peops still talkin all that jazz ...lovin that good ol true hip hop shit...much love and respect...
