[5710bryantk]

My all time favorite Kurtis blow track followed by the song "Basketball," famously made over by Little Bow Wow or should I say sampled?

[emmitt201]

All you people need to chill the f out. Let all go to roller rink!

[kidmetallica99]

kanye looks like Kurtis...in a way

[gfine2000]

@carliarago Everybody knows your white fool! Black people wouldn't be so stupid as to post this on a relatively black music site. Only someone racist and ignorant like you would do something so dumb! Some people aren't worthy of the things that life offers them. Apparently you're part of the problems in life not part of the solutions!

[weatherallc05]

Underrated as hell

[Tiwzeg]

[LOC7755]

old school 4 life!!!

[bjedo3]

"dislike bieber, gaga, kiesha, or rhianna. but anybody that spent time between headphones or on a dancefloor: it don't make sense to dislike Kurtis! That shit is blasphemy!!

[xXteknomaticXx]

Ahh when hip-hop was all about fun. I blame N.W.A for bringing hatred and violence into hip-hop.

[orlando0999]

i remember when we were young and at that part where he says "somebody scream" my cousin grabbed his brother balls and made him scream! lol! we were dying! funny as hell!

[77LeBon]

rap has changed so much, im not sure for the better.

[luckydudebuyshouses]

The sister in the black leotard suit is sexy as hell!!!!!!

[weatherallc05]

i would clap my hands all day for kurtis! such a legendary song, and i wish i was 18 in the 80's to get a real chance to appreciate hip hop. thankfully, i still do and rap, hip-hop and rnb remain my true favourites. and plus, i dont care if it aint "cool" to some groups, i love it, appreciate it, and listen to it again and again. shame i havent heard it in a club yet:(

[rome71rome]

love this song!!

[cybermatufia]

[cybermatufia]

[falloutgirl902]

I would do anything to grow up in the 80's being 15 is 2011 is absolutley SHIT.

[noiseheard]

that shit sounds familiar..

what sample is it

[Kohntarkosz]

Is this the show where Don Cornelius admitted he didn't get rap music, but he played it on the show because the kids dug it?

[theblakgeek]

@Kohntarkosz Yup. Total disrespect.

[paokthes]

[30minutepigorgasm]

Positive rap, YEA!!!

[younghoss]

@30minutepigorgasm

This rap was the VERY early days, long before "kill the cops" or "kill whitey" was popular.

[dontblush33]

@younghoss

when was the last time a rapper put out a kill whitey song?

[freznedz2]

I'm a white drummer and I'm very impressed with how this crowd can clap along with the beat and not fuck it up

[bballdaniel]

[datkid72]

Zero people have never had the breaks.

[R12Freon]

[MsCargento]

[V3CZ]

Probably one of the Law-Pussies erased this video from youtube. This has not the quality like before but thanks for uploading.

[chadae84]

OMG Kurtis Blow was fine!!!!!! Im 26 years old I wish soul train was still on air I would definately be a soul train dancer.

[christStrothman]

Nigga I'm so oldschool, even kurtis blow bit my flow.

[radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip From The 336th Edition Of "Soul Train" On September 27, 1980.

[TheDOLMET]

I love when when they mix, DISCO, FUNK, and HIP HOP------- that shit sounds so much better than Lil Wayne. LIL Wayne is always HIGH or DRUNK, when he's making his shit-------------THAT'S WHY HIS SHIT IS GARBAGE

[ELIJAHCARable]

we lov u krtis this is the shit

[TheDOLMET]

@ELIJAHCARable

LOVE DIS JOINT-right here---------Seemed people were having a good time in Videos back then. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Now a days, everyone is just talking SHIT.

[thatJimwiththenes]

dont you hate when you lose your job, you get a whopping i.r.s. bill, and your your girl friend runs with a man to japan. DAMN YOU BREAKS

[NaturalMystic101]

I can't get over at how creative and free people were , what happened to us

[williewill037]

Those were great times, rap music was about having a good time and enjoyment.

Today rap is about killing someone or boasting about material things and calling woman bitches and hoes. There were times back in the days when I was depress and would turn these great tune and fell better fast, now if I listen to todays tunes of rap I get angry and depress.

[Erionnacirema]

Another timeless "rap" Classic.

They just don't make these kind of rap songs anymore.

WE Babyboomers remember ALL the lyrics to our music from over  20 yrs ago because the lyrics MADE SENSE.

R U "getting this" NEW BREED?

[louheff]

THIS IS COOL RAP NOT THE SHIT WE HAVE TODAY

[longn4longhair]

@louheff Preeeeeaaaach!!!! lol.

'shit' is right...there is no other word for it.:)

[TheDOLMET]

@louheff

AMEN, TO THAT

[louheff]

@TheDOLMET yea and you can actually dance it ,todays rap does not have the same style and for those of us who apreciate music we are forced to endure todays shit

[TagPosse]

@louheff

True ..

[1CBRDUDE]

@louheff I agree today"s music Is Rap Crap !

[KDub47]

Jim Rome uses this

[doctord2]

See the reaction of the people everytime when the "break" sounds. That's what Bboy is about. Nice!

[britneyslut]

Kurtis got moves to he was getting down .

[williewill037]

@britneyslut I saw him break dance on a recent show, at his age over 50 is impressive.

[Caroldvs]
