So sad that you follow people lie lemmings. Why would you stoop so low and sell yourself out and do shit like this. Would have been a lot better if you guys where not so gay (on a totally non homo level so that is what makes it so bad)
**You knowww...the guy above mentioned something about hip-hop..I'm 1/2 African American & I can say, I really agree. I like hip hop, don't get me wrong..but hip hop is loved by certain people. This music, Prince, The Time & others it was definite Funk music and it was loved by so very many different people. You loved it, wanted to dance to it, they lyrics you loved...it was just music that almost everybody loved..white black, asian, older, younger. It's just so different today!
@AJm53206 Wow such a child to call me a dumb ass. Let see I was there at the beginning when mark put the band together. I was in a band with mark before Prince call Phantesy. Do you know the original guitar player for Mazarati, His name George. I might have been the drummer but I wasnt going to quit my job to do it. At the time I had a wife and kid. Iv been to there rehearsals in marks mothers home. To there gigs. I know jerome since jr high Prince did not discover these guys
@AJm53206 BTW The reason why Mazarati got cut from Prince record label is Mark was going to quit prince's band. Prince made it clear if he doesnt stay in his band Mazarati will be cut from the label. Mark quits the band gets cut. Now if prince discovered the band why cut them if Mark quits revolution. Hmm and all you can do is respond with is dumb ass. LOL
Blu, yo unc and the rest of the band have MAD LOVE here in CALI, we appreciated them for their raw funk'kay funk'kay jam's, they can come here to the bay area anytime and blow this spot up ! MAZARATI C O O L CAT 4 LIFE !
Found their album at a local Goodwill for .99, in great shape. I about crapped my pants. Had been wanting this for a long time. Another great funk band of the 80's. Prince connections are hot shyte.
Hey every 1 my name is Blu Casey im the niece of Terry Casey(lead singer) i have been answering all his fan mail, for him lol
there doin really well and they miss all the action of performing ,lol i tell my uncle they need to get back on the road, he just smiles , i have met alot of his fans over the years and i show him that you guys still play their music, I want to tell the fans , you are not forgotten.
Tell your uncle if Mazarati gets back together and release an album please do not play hip-hop or put a rap artist in their songs come back with the glam- funk- rock they are known for and us fans will buy their albums with a passion. Real fans young and old don't want Drake or Micki Minaj on a Mazarati Jam !!!
@TheNewsoul2 Nahhhh lol , Mazarati is funk all the way , lol Rap really isnt my unc Terrys thing, and thank u very much for ur comment, ur letter put a smile on his face : )
@blu11777 When I was a young Funkateer growing up in Brooklyn NY this was the cut for the summer of 86' this was another HIGH POWERED Jam from an underrated group do tell your Uncle that he has my respect for life this Album is still one of my favorites and still holds up to the majority of what is supposed to bemusic Today. God bless Kyle S. Christian
Blu, please ask your uncle why Mazarati canceled their gig at the Ritz (in NYC) back in the day? I had tickets to see them but instead of being able to get my money back I had to settle for Billy Preston who was their replacement.
@ThePookie27 No there not dead . LOL They still play but for them selves really , there all holding jobs , my unc is working the night shift so the week end is really the only time they get 2gether and rehash memories , lol and play some music , my unc Terry says there all to old to travel , lol lol i think thats bull , but u know what can u do , right
@blu11777 yeah i remember when i first heard them boys i was like 8 years old and everytime i hear the intro too 100 mph i would always say thats my theme tho im a prince fan he should have never did terry and them boys like that but thats old shit another jam i remember is strawberry lover that in 85&86 was the twin city shit and his lil yell he use too do priceless
listening to mazarati on a daily basis was an amazing time in my life.i started my first job and grew with many new friends.its is such a blessing that we have the power at our fingertips to take us back to the funky days.thank you to mazarati and all the new revolution of prince proteges that flew under the purple ones wings.these were sunny summer days of fresh love and character.the feeling of being sexy and honing a power of control from this music.was a great feeling
@blu11777 Would you happen to know how I could get a hold of their version of Jerk Out? It's a little different from the Time. I actually like the Mazarati version better.
If you look at them, they all look like a different version of Brown Mark. Check out the Purple Rain tour live from Syracuse NY and you"ll see what I'm talking about. Tamara and the scene as well.
I say this with love, but this is probably one of the most hilarious R&B videos of the 1980's. The song's lyrics are goofy enough, but the guys look ridiculous with those outfits on. Believe it or not, it was actually Prince who pushed the members of Mazarati to dress them up the way they did here. The guys unfortunately look rather clownish and it ends up causing the song and video to be so hilarious and ridiculous that it practically borders on self-parody.
"I bet you think the way I look -- I'm gay/don't be afraid, I just dress that way" LMMFAO. At least dude was honest. I liked Mazarati's album (especially that song "Suzy", LOL), but that androgynous look that Prince made famous was beyond hilarious.
I have the extended 12 Inch of this in my closet. I think the B-Side is one of my favorite ballads of all time "I GUESS ITS ALL OVER". This song was cool but my joint is 100 MPH written by Pri ... oops ... I meant "Jaimie Starr" lol.
Careful what you say... Hip Hop did not destroy anything. It's naive consumers mesmerized by contrived "images" that enabled industries to rape and steal Hip Hop elements for their own monitary gain. It was stripped of it's true flavor to sell to mainstream white audiences. You don't know real hip hop you just know pop music that STEALS from the culture.
People who cannot play instruments speaking rhythmically in rhymes over music they don't have the musical education to create? I think you're talking about lyrics, not music. Real hip hop is a lyrical art form, not a musical one. I fully support the old timers who were more social critics than uneducated morons talking about their rims and being at/in "Da Club".
Pop music steals WHAT from WHICH culture? Popular music is a mix of things from all over the world, not WHITE stealing from BLACK. Jazz music did not exist in Africa. So how is it that people of African descent get brought to this country, get influenced by the instruments and music that did not exist in Africa, make music WITH OTHER CULTURES that evolves into many different styles yet all you can think is that it all came from Africa? Not everything comes from Africa, my friend.
John Coltrane's innovations came from studying modern classical, (European) music. Why don't you say he was stealing? Because he wasn't. You like something you hear and you add it to your own music. It's always been that simple. You think the Hip Hop pioneers weren't doing that shit to get paid? You don't think every black man or woman who has their own label would be doing it if there wasn't money involved? The devils in the world aren't exclusively white. I do it for the art. I am very rare.
This was when music was music down with that mess they call music these days, couldn't get any of them in a room full of instruments to play anything, a rat pissing on cotton would sound better
The last of the great FUNK bands. Non-existent now, True Funk bands like this didnt have that stupid Hip Hop attitude that supposed "bands" in R&B have today.
@GazamYT You are soooooo Right man. Is there still a scene in Minneapolis? The only band from that area to be doing it is Mint Condition. Although thier style is different from Mazarati's
this track kicks ass,great band,underrated album these cats never got the attention they deserved fom Prince, between this and the Family albulm Paisley Park could have been more than a boutique label
It was the eighties and a LOT of Minneapolis bands looked like this.....Prince started it and the music was kickin' so enjoy or don't watch...either way get over it. Very few of the bands today make dance music this good anymore.
Ohh I forgot! It was the 80's....that explains it and gives it a great reason for this to be an over dramamtic , quasi homo, colossal failure. I remember all the guys in my hood wearing pearls from their grandmother's jewelry box.
lol ive seen you on multiple mazarati videos complaining.if you think they are such gay failures yet still watch the vids you must be supressing some quasi homo feelings yourself.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So you're a fan of me? Thanks. And if that was an attempt by you to see if I'm gay so you can date me, I'm sorry I'm not. But I wish you well in your search for homosexual love.
a fan of mazarati. dont try to twist my comments around to suit your fantasy.i watch these videos all the time and i see your little comments. (some of them date back over half a year lol what is your secret agenda against them? you have a problem).you are a joke who apparently has no taste in music so please continue to listen to your depeche mode(yes i looked at your profile. ) and whatnot while i jam this heavy mpls funkrock Combo YEAHHH!@
The answer is still NO. I won't go out with you or send you a pic of me. I have no problem with your sexuality. It's fine by me. BTW, I own this album, and Good Question, and The Family, and Madhouse, etc etc etc....I like the music. Their visual is disturbing . End-o fact-o. Please stop your obsession of me. Bye pal.
My God they are wearing SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH makeup - still funky as hell though. They were trying to be the new TIME! Didn't work though - i still had this album.
BTW, here's a little unknown trivia about Terry...he sews and he would sometimes make his own outfits!! I was talking to him at one of the MN Music Festivals and telling him I made my dress and he said, I made my outfit too. I was WAY impressed!!
hey sweetie thwere is 2 of them on da right?...the one all the way on da end is tony christian (rhythm guitarist)...the one on da left of him is craig "screamer" powell...he is da lead guitarist....does that help?
Yeah, it does hes the one with the black guitar so im guessing that would be Tony Christian, omg i wonder if hes still gorgeous like that?...lol lol thank u for responding
OMG!!! I almost started to cry. I haven't see the guys in so long! I am probably in the crowd. I miss following them around and going to all their shows. Wow, Terri, Romeo Blue, Bruce....miss you guys!!!
Actually I loved Tony, that's who I was referring to by Bruce. That's his real name and I forgot that he went by Tony. His brother's name is Vernon and I was friends with him. We both worked downtown so I would go and visit him during my lunch break!
I was definitely there. I saw them play where ever I could get in (I was only 17-19)! I also worked with their bodyguard Joe at TJ Maxx so I saw them other times too! So many awesome memories. The night I played poker with Terry & Joe, they called my apartment at 3am to invite us over and I was asleep. I answered the phone and the person on the other side said, 'Hi, this is Sir Casey Terry!' I almost died!!! Their shows were so much fun!!
its been said some of the members was accused of some kiddie porn shit ...is that true?...if so then maybe thats why no flashback radio play, but then again what about r kelly
where did you hear that from?...tell us please...you are among friends now...i work in radio and i never heard of that...yeah kelly is pathetic....guilty or not...peace
i think the reason why the kick dance looked so tight was because of the angle of the camera...lol...it's a simple dance, but the shiot look tight as hell...peace hahahaha
with all due respect, you are so wrong, lol...back then all minneapolis protegees' could get away with that look because that is what they did...now anyone else outside of that cult, helltodanaw!!!!
maybe its just me. i liked mazarati but i just never thought the look was rite. but it was the 80s and i remember a few looks that I rocked that i think were not rite either. respect.
Well look at it this way, 20 years from now the way we dress now will look weird to others...things change maun...but back then that look blended in with all the other stuff we wore...peace
there are thousands of old school videos on this website bu this may be the most classic because seriously, i can't think of any radio stations who play this song....or even 100 mph anymore...this is a lost video....peace
Wow! What men would do to get women back in the day...

You know for us who remember when they came out this was a hot song and group. They really had an edge to them.

That's not true. My older brother was a member of that band. They played thier music live and sang for themselves.

These guys are trying way too hard. And I'm not sure what sex one of the band members is....what a freak show.

It was the eighties and a LOT of Minneapolis bands looked like this.....Prince started it and the music was kickin' so enjoy or don't watch...either way get over it. Very few of the bands today make dance music this good anymore.

Ohh I forgot! It was the 80's....that explains it and gives it a great reason for this to be an over dramamtic , quasi homo, colossal failure. I remember all the guys in my hood wearing pearls from their grandmother's jewelry box.

lol ive seen you on multiple mazarati videos complaining.if you think they are such gay failures yet still watch the vids you must be supressing some quasi homo feelings yourself.

So you're a fan of me? Thanks. And if that was an attempt by you to see if I'm gay so you can date me, I'm sorry I'm not. But I wish you well in your search for homosexual love.
fatograph 2 years ago
a fan of mazarati. dont try to twist my comments around to suit your fantasy.i watch these videos all the time and i see your little comments. (some of them date back over half a year lol what is your secret agenda against them? you have a problem).you are a joke who apparently has no taste in music so please continue to listen to your depeche mode(yes i looked at your profile. ) and whatnot while i jam this heavy mpls funkrock Combo YEAHHH!@

The answer is still NO. I won't go out with you or send you a pic of me. I have no problem with your sexuality. It's fine by me. BTW, I own this album, and Good Question, and The Family, and Madhouse, etc etc etc....I like the music. Their visual is disturbing . End-o fact-o. Please stop your obsession of me. Bye pal.

Thanks so much for posting this!

hey you didn't mention tony christian....he was kewl too, lol.
mazaratialbum 3 years ago
Actually I loved Tony, that's who I was referring to by Bruce. That's his real name and I forgot that he went by Tony. His brother's name is Vernon and I was friends with him. We both worked downtown so I would go and visit him during my lunch break!

Thats COOL! So you were THERE in the mid 80's MPLS Funk scene?! Tell us more!
GazamYT 3 years ago
I was definitely there. I saw them play where ever I could get in (I was only 17-19)! I also worked with their bodyguard Joe at TJ Maxx so I saw them other times too! So many awesome memories. The night I played poker with Terry & Joe, they called my apartment at 3am to invite us over and I was asleep. I answered the phone and the person on the other side said, 'Hi, this is Sir Casey Terry!' I almost died!!! Their shows were so much fun!!

Do you ever get the feeling all of these Prince spin offs would have done better if they just acted a little bit more masculine?
fatograph 3 years ago
I don't know, the heavy metal acts from around that time looked just as feminine with the tight jeans, long hair and eyeliner.
