Full Force/UTFO - Roxanne, Roxanne

[bucinaus]

Look this song up in Wiki, it has a contentious history by various groups who performed it.

[713swscrewstontx]

middle school memories

[BklynNYbabe1]

I was on our tour bus & Full Force (the dancers at the time ) were on our bus - My Amazing friend till this day The Debonier Doc Ice - took out a cassette and asked me what I thought of this new Rap they had put together - when I listened I turned to Doc & Said Yo That right there is a HIT!!!! and it was The rest is History - All I know is That Doc Ice is Badder Than ever his Style is Amazing and he can Still Spit Fire !!!!! Love to Ya Doc !!! Kim-A-Kazi

[WorldWideMMAFights]

[octoberapple]

my dad was a doctor. i'll never forget the look on his face when he actually listened to this and heard someone rapping about medicine. those were the days... unfortunately, my vinyl of this got warped in the hot car that summer.

[nealandalexi]

[Krait99]

I blew my father's speakers listening to this. I think I still even have the wax somewhere.

[sf0tacticalguy]

I was 16, living in Southern California when this came out. We blasted this all of the time in my friend's old hooptie. Driving around, 3 black kids, a Mexican, a Filipino and a white kid, just jamming out, stuffed in that car like sardines. Those were the days... LOL.

[CrGiRLAzy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[theiccemann]

I just had to look this up. I've been sayin' these lyrics at work, for the past two days. lmao Ain't nothin' better than the '80s and the '90s, .... except the '70s! lmao!

[dipstarky]

shit i feel 8 again ...in a good way :)

[airsoftboy62]

lil wayne has nothing on this

[songojin]

Are the lines at 1:23 and on considered multies? Cause that would be 1984, at least a year before G Rap. Of course G Rap ran with it and there are always smaller unknown freestylers who pioneered styles, but it's a pretty good attempt.

[millfordsange]

1ist song i ever danced to

[minero2525]

dude, this song still the shit.....

[SuperLizzie73]

back in the day this song was it, I still know all the words by heart.

[jb68025]

[wesleypresley1000]

TUNE TIL I DIE MAN.

[DjLukeySmoke]

Roxanne,Roxanne!!!!!!!!!!

[cats2cents]

Loooooooove it!!!

[insanelook]

Selling my whole collection of rare old school hip hop and funk, mainly original vinyls from the 70's and 80's. List sent by requested Pm.

[MultiDENRI]

good song I like that ...

[mzdeepdimples]

wow these were the days lol

[MystroMusicMan]

Arguablly, The best use of the Billy Squier's "The Big Beat" drum sample in hip-hop history. Yep, I loved how free hip-hop was back then. You could talk about "Hanging Out", how a woman stood you up "Roxanne Roxanne", how you "lived on a farm and never milked a cow" ("Beats & Rhymes") or even if you wanted to show you were super-talented and SGIN as these originals did with "Fairytale Lover" (what's AutoTune?).

Hip-Hop would never be this diverse again.

[pelonh67]

Stocktone 209

[Gigaiath]

roxanne beat this shit out of this song

[313MEXICANBLACKPRIDE]

10 PEOPLE are lil wayne fans !

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

@misscookiejar87 you are intitled to your own opinion but you have to admit all of today's hip hop sounds the same no versatilty. Making it rain no story telling that's what made hip hop hype back then mow everybody in the kitchen and everybody get's the girl no one gets stood up the shit iz stretch up a morning yawning boring! But that's just my opinion

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

This was definitely the jam. I remember my cousin(Schnia) RIP and myself wrote the lyrics to this song down. By using play,stop and rewind lol Damn I missed those days

[74darkchocolate]

@ThaFlyestMoor72 LOL...I did that too

[BUILDINGWITHBULLION]

@ThaFlyestMoor72 haaaaa yeah I used to do that too to Rakim songs back in the day. Now all you have to do is look up the lyrics on line. kinda cheapens it.

[tanquantwal]

@ThaFlyestMoor72 lol I thought that I was the only one who did that. The 80's were the best!

[natalieryan1]

bring back the 80's jams !!!

[parisel313]

this was the jam!

[wardenofthewoods]

True That heat!!!

[heat5457]

One of the key lines omitted from this video:

THE DOC: "Please let me walk you to the corner, my rap will be brief. She said I seen you before, you look like a thief. I said me? the doc? a hood? a rock? running around the streets robbing people on the block? Na... that's not my style, to crime I'm not related, as far as I'm concerned I'm too sophisticated."

How many rappers would dare say that today?

[BUILDINGWITHBULLION]

@heat5457 yup , it was a different time. Remember Slick Rick being pissed off at Mona Lisa for thinking he was a thief too.. hahah sit down eat your slice of pizza and be quiet.

[soulchildsacomin]

@heat5457

This video was in 1985 and back then, many Hip Hop artists lacked the budget for a music video so they were forced to cut it short (probally due to record company restrictions who probally paid for the videos). Force MD's video for "Forgive Me Girl" was dramatically cut short with the third verse omitted and intro trimmed down. Rock Master Scott and The Dynamic 3's video for "Request Line" had lyrics almost stripped down (compared to lp version). That sucked!!

[BlossieGirl]

@heat5457 Yeah how many this is so lyrical and actually made sense

[fieldg100]

@heat5457 those are some strong words!!!!! they dont make lyrics like that anymore!!!

[pinhead22]

@heat5457

Probably the most brilliant comment ever left on Youtube and agreed 100%

[12107170]

@heat5457 Hmmm??

[highfivemaster12]

hell yeah !

[aishaparker]

Cause she wouldn't give a guy like ME no rap !

[143drizzy1]

[143drizzy1]

[97kyriakos]

[axjavelin74]

[ealbeal]

She doesn't want a guy like you she wants a guy like me with a high iq.

[roccprofit]

story and actual music, with the added bonus these people know how pants work unlike modern rappers

[patrickwayne]

this was the first album i ever bought...good stuff!

[thebes3500bc]

It just so nice listening to original material as compare today....Todays rap you have be a NIGGAH "which is really sell-out to the black race" and please don't confuse it with "NIGGER" they were strong enslaved unbreakable caring humble just a great people created by the NIGGAHS in africa who sold them into slavery...Not much different then the NIGGAHS in rap today selling false dreams, drugs and prison to young black people.....That is why old school is better it was sung by uplifting NEGROs

[misscookiejar97]

all ya old school ppl think today hip hop is not really music but the only thing is things change all the time in my opion i think todays hip hop is better the old hip hop is so long and tells stupid storys but i cant lie i like both

[beanboi16]

@misscookiejar97 Todays hip hop is better?! All they rap about is drugs, bitches, and how much money they have. It has no substance. Back then each rapper had his own distinct sound and unique flow. Now, you can listen to 20 different rappers and they'll all sound the same.

[RichyJA]

I just want to post up in my Adidas track suit or Terriclaw with a fisherman hat on and just party the night away with a sexy fox.

[tupac007boy]

bring back 80s and 90s

[chessarama]

Damn, I was in the 6th grade when this came out. I remember kids walking through the streets carrying their boom-boxes playing this song.

I remember in class, when the teacher stepped out, some kids would do a desk beat and others would sing the lyrics to this song. The teacher would come back and say: "What was that noise?" and everyone in the class would be still and say nothing.

[Ibucfio]

Gota luv it ya boyeeeeee.

[kadgek]

Ahhh god I am luvin this. Those were the good old days lol

Luv it! Luv it! Luv it!

[t3606au]

Always brings back nice memories... I used to have this memorized as a kid!

[Shaunaley]

love this song

[marcel01ism]

Every time I've heard this beat it takes me to a special place where also other hip-hop legends like LL Cool stepped out on the scene as well as Run DMC. UTFO is def one of my classic hip-hop favorites right along with them.

[fatshoolaces]

[boompsie]

[rexboogie]

What 7 people did not like this song?!?!?!?!?!? Maybe some chicks named Roxanne.

[DatGirlG]

This Is Rap Used To Be about FUN.. No Bang Bang Shoot Em Shit. In the Words of Ricky Ricrado.. "WHA HOPPIN??? LOL

[TroubleMan21C]

Damn, brings back memories... this song touched of the biggest rap battle in the history of hip hop... what was it? about 30 Roxanne songs going back and forth? LOL! the good ol' days!

[CrashmagnetMusic]

UTFO was so unrated, "when I see you on the street I'm gonna hit you with a brick"

[Kellogs43able]

1984...this was the shit....

[littlefingers]

Old School Rap rocks!!!

[OGDoccat]

UTFO gave us rappin 'style & word play that 2 this day is respected.

[jwjh1269]

this takes me back. classic.

[illadvised50]

Kangol's verse is still my favorite. 

[illadvised50]

You want a talk about song taking the game by storm. I lost count of all the "Roxanne" response songs. If you're pushing 40 (like I am) you gotta be reminiscing to the fullest right now. lol

[rsarchie]

Damn, this takes me back..

[KalaBeautiful]

This was the first album I ever bought. I'm telling my age. lol

[CHYNAHDOLL10]

Looooove this joint and these guys

[DutchSplitter]

Ahh the good stuff.

[Dante95nyc]

I think of the movie Krush Groove when I hear this.

[sk8kidd22]

song is dope

[lala0578]

Right now baby you're the talk of the town

Please let me walk you to the corner, my rap will be brief."

She said "I've seen you before, you look like a thief."

I said "Me? The Doc? A hood, a rock?

[Djtonystewart]

Dear hip hop..can u get real again like this!

[TheEman67]

i lik the change rap made today but the message an the songs r just wackk

[regiha92]

[chessdrummer]

[Nadine91273]

[idontnoapassword]

[07jackd07]

It's amazing that rap went from this to "I kill you mutha fugga, money over bitches yo!!"

[maskanio1]

ppl actually disliked this?

[chessdrummer]

@maskanio1 Don't get thrown off by this wack video. Listen to the rhyme and flow.

[tbizzleable]

[lommylom]

@LocoHernandez15 thats the truth

[nedswebjunk]

@bjukjuj

Dude, if you think today's hip hop is wonderful, you've got MAJOR problems.

[peace6311]

[Jay1898]

@peace6311 great point!!!

[KiCreativeStudios]

@LocoHernandez15 Don't worry, today's hip hop isn't really hip hop.....so it don't really count.

[2009KnockoutKing]

Ahhh I'm only 19 and I'm obssessed with 80's hip hop! Today's shit can kick rocks. This is REAL music.

[momina103]

i went to their concert back in the day... thoughs pelvic thrusts are completely legit

[tamra1975]

haha! those were the days when the guys walked around in the sleeveless shirts, bandanas, berets and the big boomboxes (then called jamboxes) on their shoulders. The thing of the time was to see who had the biggest box on their shoulders...Rap Wars

[btammymcneilpaul]

Now this is Hip Hop.....Can't stand this stuff now...Now wonder Heavy Left the Game...

[zankhe43]

it's missing some spots...

[AgaMbadi]

Holy shit! I'm back in 5th grade. It's just wacky listening to this again. The last time I heard it was on an Emerson boom box while playing with Transformers on the playground.

[swineburn]

"and would you believe, after all that, all i received was a pat on the back"

[ThePrincessmegz123]
