[donovartronic]

Nice radio.

[ULTIMIXER2010]

What great music not like todays garbage Keisha anybody. Shaun fron Oz. Totally agree domconrad.

[MrJames07111]

The greed that fuels hiphop ,is the same greed that will destroy America.The quality of music went down ,so will the quality of everything else.

[SKOTP69]

Truly...one of my absolute FAVOURITES ever!!!!

[JazzyDoede]

Took me years to learn to play that piano solo by ear but finally did it..

I think it's being played Thomas Dolby. He's a BEAST....

Nice post Ruff Ryder..

Classic Hip-Hop

[Orlando2Vegas]

@JazzyDoede

the piano on this one is so good :)

[Finnsnor]

@JazzyDoede Im pretty sure the Piano is the work of Anne Dudley, she and Trevor Horn (the producer) was also part of Art of Noise.

[ssslobasss]

Bravooooooooooooooooooooooo!



[domconrad]

Now look at you you're sittin' there bitin' your lip

The whole world sees you as a hypocrite

Live out the first law of nature - self preservation

If the show doesn't help ya - change the station

If you don't want peace in the world

Love, peace and happiness in an endless twirl (?)

If all you want to do is keep the whole world back,

You're the one that's wack,

And we're World's, World's, WORLD'S FAMOUS!

The 1st rap I ever learnt by heart. From a 43 yr old honky in London

[0ucantstopme0]

@domconrad Right on man. I'm right there with you, 42, growing up with classics like this.

[SkorpionOne]

@domconrad Respect mate!:):)

[dos3dmusic]

[tulsa4life]

This Made My Early Radio Days At KALU 90.7 In Langston Oklahoma We Bumped This In the UNION!

[R0NOPOLY]

OMG I USED TO BUMP THIS IN DETROIT NYC WAS KING IN THAT DAY.

[kennyfame]

@R0NOPOLY hell yeah NYC was king back then

[Alexltavares]

Man, I've been lookin' for this for a LOOOOONG time. Me and my homies used to practice our breakdance moves in a friends basement apt. back in '83 in the Bronx. We had a routine to this and used to perform this in the park around our way. At the end where it goes "round-round-round..." we would end in a backspin. :p

[EsteemQuashIKana]

THE GODS DID THIS COMPOSITION CORRECTLY, ALHAMDUILLAH TO THE TEAM FOR THIS CLASSIC, BROWNSVILLE PERPETUALLY

[davew833]

Piano is by noted session musician Anne Dudley of 'Art of Noise' fame.

[meechamaka411]

@davew833 Yeah...Art Of Noise have alotta to do wit' that whole Malcolm McLaren/World Famous Supreme Team DJs thang!!! They were like the "beat-makers" so-to-people...LOL!!! I was 'bout 8 years old back then, 'n go hook'd! When I heard this 'n "Beat Box" (by Art Of Noise), I knew somethin' was up, 'n when I check'd the credits...that's what made me a big fan of Art Of Noise, then!!!

[jackthehatuk]

@meechamaka411 Was a big fan of them too. A lot of their stuff has been used by various people over the years.

[DjDedan]

timeless - the production is clean!

[KuttyJoe]

I used to wear this one out back in the day.  My favorite was the one coming on next. Hobo Scratch.

[DJPOLE93]

R.I.P. Mister M.M

[MrJames07111]

how did hiphop fall so far from this

[slw7920]

@MrJames07111

Once people (record industry) saw how much money could be made in it by exploiting rappers even more than artists from other genre's, it was a wrap.

[meechamaka411]

@MrJames07111 I really don't kno'...this was my routine morning wake up call back in my elementary school days!!! This was my favorite group...I fought over a couple of dudes strivin' to rob me for this ('n "Buffalo Gals") record (vinyl). Hip Hop evolved...it was cool...BUT THEN, it jus' too damn crazy...greedy hands got involved, 'n pull "rap music" up out into the forefront!!!

[Eightfold11]

@MrJames07111 apathy greed ego

[Kingcire72x]

@MrJames07111 Just Listen...This is HIP HOP ...The trash they are pushing now IS NOT HIP HOP...it is a poor tacky imitation no positivity no love no hope .. If you believe in Real HIP HOP support the artist that you feel make a difference!

[jazzlicka]

@MrJames07111 yeah

wasnt it truly a thing of beauty back then

[deansusky]

@MrJames07111 How did Hip hop FAIL far from this

[maccagrabme]

@MrJames07111 When it stopped being an artform.

[uzipolo]

@MrJames07111 it makes me cry to hear this and its soooo true,,,this was real hip hop..my thing is at the time..this was more realer than blck hip hop and the buffalo girls video showed that..it was more realer than nthe lionel ritchie all nigh long video..the blondie r5apture video and the gladys knight and the pips video save the over time for me ..COMBINED malcolm mc clearen was the truth..

[actionmantodiworl123]

@MrJames07111 Because of greed and excess.

[OnkelHelmond]

great piano playing (also in "scratchin"), played and produced by the "art of noise" easy to recognize... : )

sounds always great and as fresh as new...

[44tom11]

is it funky enough?

[feistychick70]

The breakdown @ 2:05 has always been a serious thing to us youngsters back then!

[Alexltavares]

@feistychick70

No doubt! Used to go off on that part with some sick poppin' moves back in the day. :p

[feistychick70]

@Alexltavares - LOL!!

[archicosta]

R.I.P Malcom, you were the Genius of contemporay music.

[MrJames07111]

not only is this hiphop,this is great music,peace to the hiphop garden of eden,NYC.....todays so called MC,followed the serpent away from the essence of the culture,thats why hiphop went to hell.

[oldschoolbx1970]

@MrJames07111 i agree with you 100%. So would Afrika Bambaattaa and the rest of the Zulus.

[quietstorm609]

wow no mention of his passing. thumbs down to the entire hip hop movement for not paying tribute to one of the greatest . damn shows you where hip hop has really gone

[oldschoolbx1970]

@quietstorm609 Right on,brothah!!!

[MisterDoubleU1]

I like this guy's music. First time hearing it and I really like it.

[sweatyk]

2:01 is wicked

[arod1122]

The piano playing in this song makes it THAT much better! I am truly amazed.

[OWN12S]

@arod1122 Its my favorite part too. Kurtis Blow had some good piano solos on his records too.

[sturdle]

@arod1122 who was the pianist?? not researched it, just wondered.....

[CuckooMan22]

@arod1122 you are right about the piano. I cut it out and used it for a ringtone.

[MadLogistix]

@Sakiera423 Don't worry man, took me 20.

[londonfresh74]

i still have the original vinyl of this when it first came out,nice to know people these days appreciate

[smurf78705]

Rest In Paridise

[SgtDevilDog3381]

Awe man, I didn't even know. Obviously because no one thought that the originators of Hip Hop were important enough to be remembered, it seems like making all the money and selling out is more important than recognizing who should be worthy of getting a place in the history books.

[gecko2gecko2]

Piano = class.

[maccagrabme]

@gecko2gecko2 Fully agree that is a wonderful bit of piano and synth.

[UBZUKI]

@gecko2gecko2

DEFINITELY. Very special moment.

[funkysexy69]

Awesome record! Old skool is da best!! :o)

[mpar91]

Gone from earth but Never forgotten, his music brings memories of when Hip Hop was true to life, diverse, and powerful. From Compton to New York and the rest of the world. R.I.P eternal Malcolm Mclaren.

[sirsilver1968]

Amazing track, not heard this since back in the day

[dexterSS55]

His stuff IS amazing. Only now finding out that he helped pioneer Breakin' and Scratchin' thus transforming music into what it is today. His music bridged the gap between Punk and Hip-Hop. He will be greatly missed.

[mr4dee]

R.I.P. Malcom Mclaren ,the true godfather of the uk hiphop scene

[6743Peoria]

In 1985 this was the first album I bought when I was in high school. The summer after my 10th grade year, I went to Peppermint Records here in Atlanta and bought the Do Ya Like Scratchin album

This was my favorite song on the album. RIP Malcolm. You will be missed

[ieatlotsoftoast]

formula 1 will never be the same without mclaren rip

[Lukvr1]

A great musical genius! Peaceful to him.

[eyesley]

Man, Malcolm you had a great mind. Innovative and loved hearing the stories about your ventures to witness hip hop at its best. In its beginnings. I used to wear this track out on my radio show in college. Wearing all of my leather beanies! I still pump this joint, along with Buffalo Girls, Hey DJ. I still got to get my hands on another copy of Duck Rock. Love that album with the African influences. Peace to your soul.

[ramrod20042000]

Takes me back to the house parties of my youth. R.I.P. Malcolm Mclaren.

[musik4life71]

R I P Malcolm Mclaren...Thanks for all the music

[MrAirstation54]

rip malc pil to your image god bless

[bks591]

Wow, this will remain a classic! This was the perfect joint to spin on radio show intro's/outro's or just play! This is when basement parties had cats with 2 turntables, a mixer, crates of records, and people shakin' their asses. I'm so happy I was there in the beginning when hip-hop, rap, whatever was fresh and new! RIP MM.

[Navegante08]

The best moments my life! Os melhores momento de minha vida foi curtindo este som!!!

[dexterSS55]

This is an Amazing Song. He bridged the gap between Punk and Hip-Hop. Transformed music. R.IP. Deeply Missed.
