BLACK MOON-HOW MANY MC'S!!!-BUT I LOVE THIS CLASSIC ORIGINAL HIT RT HERE IT'S JUST TIMELESS!!!

[MrDphilster]

The name is grover not glover and without a question was one of the best.

[GrindTimeMoments]

There are more Hiphop fans on here then Glover Washington fans !This is what I love about Hiphop It United the Old Generation with the new .I could Throw on Ed O G When i was 17 and my dad's dad could hear it and say hey thats Glover Washington and a 17 year old and 60 year old could both jam together

Thats what makes Lil Wayne and Gucci Mang and Nikki NOT HIPHOP all their music sounds like R2D2 C3PO and has no connection to Jazz and gives no respect to Hiphop Legends

THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE

[desertdetroiter]

@GrindTimeMoments That's because the new hip hop producers are too damn lazy to sample records since it requires actual crate digging and record shopping. It's easier to go in the studio with a shitload of keyboards and drum machines and put some bullshit together. That's why it lacks melody...it's pathetic, and it all sounds the same. Like you say...R2D2 AND C3PO ticky tack garbage.

[SDBugg]

When Grover Washington Jr, Bob James, Louis Johnson and the entire Kudu crew got together to make this classic, they couldn't have known that this would be the platform of so many of the dopest beats in hip-hop history!

[MrVerncoleman]

@SDBugg don't forget about EARL KLUGE

[taildragger53]

Loved this in the 70s ...STILL there's nothing to beat it!

[rohitganesh100]

That Bass just murders it. Wish I lived in the 70s man.

[CrazyRaider77]

Hearing this track along with several others, I just became a GW Jr fan. However,if it wasn't for hip hop, I'd have no idea who he is. Ive heard this song sampled many times. Long live the old school!

[Nedzny14]

[directorofmusc]

I remember living at Lake Shore Plaza in Chicago, over looking the Skyline at night, sippin on cognac, smoking my pipe and listening to this funky riff of Grover. Man, the funky groove never fades. This is real music to chill to.

[CharlyGanja]

[coltoncrawfordjazz]

[CharlyGanja]

REAAAALLY LOVE

[rob122458]

This was back in the day when we use to step to this , in Cleveland you can feel this kind of music i miss this kind of music , now days all they do is run their mouth about some nonesense .

[lowendfella]

Look-out ! It's the smoothness of "Hydra". Just like it's name, flowing smoothly & sometimes with a gentle rush. That's how we got it done. I know my Mella' "D" is out there plying his skills with some cutie. Don't forget mella' ; gently elevate her to her toes, and glide her through the universe. I can vision the motions; of your gazelle like movements. (I'll always love the great times boss!)

[ma23gh]

i don't care what ppl say to me sampling is just the next evolution of music (as long as it's done artfully). if it weren't for that classic "A Touch of Jazz" by Jazzy Jeff back in tha gap I probably wouldn't be into Jazz Music the way I am now. Peace from Houston,TX...

[JEFFAR420]

@theoriginalschool Brotha Lynch Hung - Nigga Deep
