Redhead Kingpin & The FBI - Do the Right Thing

[ironman67]

Damn, Teddy Riley productions skills are all over that record! back in the day Teddy was the man!! yep! yep!

[SnuffDizz]

mc hammer, doodoo brown , this shit, yeah was mayor positive attitude back then , probably because black artists started taking xtc too in early nineties,

[Eoinposse]

Those were the days. And I was born in '94.

[jpsa5]

I just realised that this song had a major positive influence on my life.

[AdamNYable]

Oh damn, I love this song, and I accidentally clicked "dislike." LMAO

[BrotherApexx]

They had some jams back in the day. They came back in the mid 90's as Private Investigators. And that was it for them.

[MrKhalidhamad]

The Best i Love this Song WoW

[MoxicoMC]

Ah Yeah!!! Check this out...DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!! 8Os track...CLASSIC!!!!

[zevluvfresh]

"not talking about a Black and White thing"...man we had it good back in the days, now a days it's all soft, wack "rappers", talentless people and gimmicks ruining what so many cried, bled and sweat for.

[zevluvfresh]

sorry didn't see the the other comments.

[zevluvfresh]

@GMODCREATOR ...ESG-"UFO"

[GMODCREATOR]

What is the name of the beat at the start? Its used in loads of classic songs like Aint No Half Stepping and I really wanna know it?

[ugasziz]

are they dead...

[DaNewJack2009]

This beat is K.C. and Sunshine band...'' i get lifted''

[Feelin2nice]

Instantly I'm back in high school, listening to his positive message. Enjoy life everybody! It slides by fast.

[Theomite]

Man, I miss the SHIT out of early 90s music videos.

[Soulvoicesinger]

Trop bon son! Enorme! Merci Teddy R.

[fasbinder62]

@ yobsam again, got it, it's UFO by ESG

[pluizerd1]

Heimwee naar vroeger..

[fasbinder62]

@ yobsam, your right there, but I'm talking about the sample in the actual song

[Hammermill619]

just realized that "In Livin Color" stole their theme song from this song...damn Im dumb.

[extremewayz]

Hmmmm..........Ok buddy!



[blackmanta07]

This is a very classy rap video

[aabslb]

whateva happnd 2 positive rap

[fasbinder62]

what's that horror music sample in the background?

[yobsam]

@fasbinder62 I think it was used for the last song in a movie called "The people under the stairs"

[drchoc22]

do the right thing and buy more pixels!

[cullenstalin]

ESG + KC and the Sunshine Band + New Jack Swing drums...

[CazK88]

@cullenstalin

Whats ESG and KC? This is all New Jack Swing.

[cullenstalin]

@CazK88 ESG made "UFO" and KC + the Sunshine Band made "I Get Lifted." They are the two main samples in this track and they are two of the most heavily sampled tracks in hip-hop. You can check out both tracks on YouTube.

[FunkyMonk31]

[MrGaryo64]

should all stayed old school, late 80s early 90s, its all ganster crap now,wheres the fun

[nutlil2]

@MrGaryo64 the problem is that the streets were real gangsta back then so eventually it would spill into the rap game....i remember the late 80's early 90's and a lot of the shit was all about robbing people drug dealing . boosting....and just catching wreck.....so it was just a matter of time until that element moved to rap..that was the enviornment in new york at the time...it is better now..

[freaky7377]

[JDOTB81]

Music today vs. Music back then...UNDISPUTED CHAMP- Back then. I miss this feel, this flow, style, creativity, etc...Even lyrically better than today. Music has lost it's meaning. If u agree, cool, if not. We call that "CONFUSED"

[21sttnmemphis]

When music was music.

Preppy concious rap. No wonder music and we are a mess now

Funky beat from KC and the Sunshine Band (jammin mf's)

[Robert30561]

I can still punch, .... you were somehow stripped music very cool

[MrHope911]

[TheBookWorm1718]

For some reason I think this was in the right place as the ending song in The People Under the Stairs.

[tmix923]

Now this is hip-hop...I long for these days once again!

[DaJayCash]

[TheKomboOfKaze]

[workitjtworkit]

This was supposed to be the opening theme song to Spike Lee's 1989 film Do The Right Thing but at the last moment Spike chose P.E.'s Fight The Power.

[soloafele]

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

@LiquidSoul0404 and the artist used to dance- most rappers dont dance anymore

[SupastarDjs]

[Goluckymusic4life]

Music over Image not Image over Music

[urbantaz]

@Goluckymusic4life Umm did you see the video of his for pump it hottie? Old school Hip Hop had plenty of half Naked Ladies and bragging

[TheBookWorm1718]

@urbantaz Not like today's though.

[Monigyrl]

@Goluckymusic4life

I agree with you, it was more about the message and making music with a message and to dance to back then.

[sjonhigh]

@Goluckymusic4life: amen.....

[TendrilsofTurmoil]

@Goluckymusic4life Absolutely right, dude. Absolutely right. A voice of sanity.

[d0nk3yM4n]

If Abortion is a mind distortion... here's an idea, wrap that sucker or keep your cock in your pants.

[exkimo64]

"I asked my man victor what he used to do for fun, he said he learned to shoot a gun before the age of 21"...

Sounds like Victor is avoiding the damn question... but I'm not going to argue with a man that switches topics like that.

[Timario007]

lol people used to say i looked like dude lmao wow n i was 11 at the time

[BROWNBOMBER2K1]

IN LIVING COLOR, you can do what you want to do, IN LIVING COLOR.

[kukuturke]

[Badboy2249]

i love this song i remember it playing on the credits at the end of a movie called people under the stairs.

[thatstheguy07]

@Badboy2249 haha I remember that movie. Shit was creepy when I was young.

Speaking of that tho, PUTS is a sick underground hip hop group. Check them if you dont know.

[Badboy2249]

@thatstheguy07 yea i had to turn my head everytime they killed someone and ate them LOL.

[TraffordReds9]

I miss this guy and I miss that era of Rap. I LOVED Hip Hop culture back then, when there were Conscious Rappers who used the artform to accentuate the positive.

In the early-mid 90's I thought groups like The Roots, Arrested Development and The Fugees would take Rap back to where it should be. It was short-lived.

It's been killed off by the nihilistic, materialistic, misogynistic gangsterism that pervades much of it now. I've given up hoping.

[thatstheguy07]

@TraffordReds9 Yup..thanks to the record companies. What we get is what they givve us. They want all this society degrading bullshit to be eaten up by the kids. Its sick, evil and on purpose.

There are lots of underground cats who sound like theyre from the early 90s, but new fresh shit. Of course that stuffs never promoted.

[mikelindsavvy]

@TraffordReds9 Dont give up san, theres plenty good hip hop out there. The Roots still do it for me man. It aint all gangster sheet

[kingrob29]

Holy cow, I remember running at ECSU with this on my walkman!

[Richie2k6]

biggie sampled this for "Respect"

[QMcFresh21]

Brothas need to bring back the hop top fades. CLASSIC!!!

[MONEYAINTATHANG100]

GOOO PEOPLE.....(-:

[1015287]

This plays @ the end of the movie The People Under the Stairs

[kingrob29]

@1015287 You're right. I wonder why Wes Craven didn't get an Oscar for that cinematic gem?(lol)
