Much props to the guys that brought the slang ' Pig Latin ' to the rap game. NOT SNOOP....Fa Shizzle My Nizzle. Double Dutch Bus doesn't qualify.... unless you want to count Nipsy Russel as an MC. Lol
I remember those days. 8th grade dances @ HSF. That white kid was me for sure. Now I my kid dances and makes hip hop music. Good times... No drugs or Booz needed at these parties.
growing up during this time was so much fun; we just partied, danced, had fun. No guns are stupid drama. No girls gone wild types or wannabee gangsta's. pretty pathetic times we livin in now
Ah MAN! Full Force killin' the background vocals!!!! I loved this album back in 1985. I played it ALL THE TIME in the summer of '85 while stationed in Pensacola Florida.
that was justin timberlake when he was a kid...lol...this joint was played on yo mtv raps alot...and u.t.f.o. was the pioneers of the "dis" record..and the creaters of the dance that went along with the song roxanne....The Smurf...lol
LISTEN IM SHOKED TO FIND OUT THAT UTFO WERE B-BOYS ALSO DID YOU SEE KANGOL KIDD HE WAS DOPE BUT KEEP IN MIND THERE WAS NO MASS MEDIA TO PLAY THIS VIDEO THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE 1ST CONCEPT VIDEOS FOR RAP.IF YOU WASNT FROM NEW YORK THEN YOU WOULDNT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS
@ancohen123 i was there when they filmed this at VCS on 10st. the fat guy use to be the maintenance guy and ran the after school at gym, no? I forget his name. and the kid popping in begining I think might be Dave, vin diesels boy back then. I forget. My friend Frenchie was also in vid. Fun night. U would never think they would film this there.
i fucking love this song, i bump it on my tables all the time, and in my car too. great thing about utfo is they actually break dance, what other breakin rappers actually dancing in their videos none
Break out the Panasonic 10 " D " battery stereo with four " 6 inch midrange speakers with dual cassette player, Pumas, Parachute pants, and Kangols....Don't forget the slick floor to breakdance on.....1983-87 yrs was the height of it all ( I didn't forget " My Adidas " )....
Hey dude.I get where ya comin from. But with all due respect the group U.T.F.O. & Full Force sought them out! Aiight ?? And the two young brothas dancin' attended that school(V.C.S.)also. As for the "Fat Kid",..lol,well thats no kid. He's a grown ass man who was the building manager / B-Ball Coach of that school back in the day. I should know cuz I attended that school & "The Man" happens to be family to me. Thats justs how it was in videos then. Was humorous to me back then as it is today.
THEME: An all white school. And would'nt you know it, the "real" Black kids( read: at risk) are dancing to entertain their "classmates." But that wasn't enough, the school had to hire real Negroes to entertain. And the fattest kid in the school is Black. Do you see anything wrong with this picture? Any stereotypes? Class distinctions?
If you don't understand the point i'm trying to make chances are you were one of the white students.
I remember when I first UTFO... I was like damn, these guys are the newskool sound! F'ing dope!!!! Ain't that a trip? Now it's like almost 25 years later! They deserve madd props!!!
wow man whats up with hip hop and rap these days it sucks you have to go underground to find real hip hop but theres still nothing like the classics. this was probably made before i was born kind of sad bu the beats real nice
Holy fraking shit! I haven't heard this tune since I was a teenager! This tune along with PLANET ROCK were a significant part of my introduction to rap. Classic old school. I think this tune used to hold the record for longest time at #1 in the U.K. rap charts. My God; Why do we have to grow up? Why?
UTFO is def. an old skool relic that only we would know of, they have faded away. But that makes it cool, kinda like an old Elvis album for our parents ya' know? Don't get me wrong UTFO is no comparison so don't kill me w/ the comments.
the last verse by kangol kid was old school "NY dialect" not spoken much these days. I didn't know he was Haitian. I thought he was from "the South". UTFO was a talented group of cats; they could do it all, sing, dance, rap & play musical instruments--true HIP HOP (as only the EAST COAST can produce)!!
"I'm a law abiding citizen I don't break the law..." Wow how the lyrical content has changed since then. I remember DMC bragging about going to collage too.
Even though I'm on tha West this shit was cold flav back N the day. Love the sing song harmony ahead of their time. Full Force hooked them up with what was the tightest beats back then. NY get mad love for creatin the game and these boys took what RunDMC did and added their own element.
Ahhh yeah! I remember this vid way back in the day. I thought those moves were so crazy to do. I was too young to buy a tape of U.T.F.O. so I'd listen to it on the radio and "dub" it from there...including the commercial breaks and the DJ talking. Haha, so ghetto back then. Memories.
Nah, this video (I think this is their first video since Educated Rapper was'nt in this), "Roxanne Roxanne", and "Leader Of The Pack were the only videos from their debut album. Not too long ago, I found out that Kangol Kid is from a Haitian decent. I during his childhood and the height of UTFO's career, he kept that a secret cause he said that "it was'nt cool back in the day."
