Ready Or Not Here I Come- Delfonics

[BadVizion]

[djcountry1985]

Thred 6 mafia - who run it sampled this

[chuckinla]

The Delfonics were the DEAL !!!!!!

[suzmattable]

Lauren Hill also sampled this song

[elemental12345678900]

what LLoyd Banks song uses this sample? ahh on tip of my tounge

[b1o2b3]

@elemental12345678900 5 or better off the return of the PLK

[Dickified]

This is why i like remixes!

[dumbbitchville]

i only know this song for dubstep remix :D

[211bkmob]

i think the three 6 mafia who run it is by far the best sample,they just fukin fliped it!

other producers dont flip it.they just sample and dont flip or chop it.

[BillyT531]

Great tune...I remember listening to this on the "Big 8" CKLW growing up here in Detroit...

[MrNooneseesme]

fantasic, Ive got this recorded and listened to it over the years - still as fresh as ever, the true greats only get better in this world which is otherwise shit

[checko5555]

why is there an extra 5 mins?

[jinxyjack57]

omg I only came on here to listen to one tune now I can't get off. I've forgotton how many great tunes there were in the 70's and each link takes me to another memory. I'll get nothing done today. Ah well, who cares, the mess will still be there tomorrow because today I'm reliving yesterday. Love to all my 70's friends xx

[TheBigbody2009]

the beginning blows my mind everytime!!

[Cozmik1Won]

I love the Dramatics but this sounds like a STALKER SONG! LOL

[viciouspurple]

The Fugees!

But this is simply amazing. I love the original so much.

[drwhatson]

When I read comments like "so-and-so stole this" and "what's his face sampled that", I can't help wondering what the kids listen to from day-to-day now, and how bloody appalling American Radio must have become since the 70s...

[missteama]

the first few seconds of this song sound so much like nobody's perfect by jessie j.........very similar...........does anyone else hear it????!!!????

[MrBigpapi01]

@missteama Who??

[PmMidnight]

WHO RUN IT!!

[wampach20]

Iwas lucky to live through the 70's. Can't beat the music.

[lisadiazsmg]

[McPfoot]

[ACTPAHABT]

@10lettername yeah there are definitely more but the sample is not so obvious. Grat song by the way

[54nomore]

They are one of the reasons I consider the 60's and 70's as the greatest decades in rock & roll music history.

[caligirloler84]

Song for the ages.

[vintageclassik1990]

The Original

[jorgealbertobaron]

Bonita canción dijo JORGE ALBERTO BARON

[MissGene13]

i love !

[Honestabe86]

Fugees, Three 6 mafia, and Missy Eliot sampled this song.

[RealDonlio]

@Honestabe86 the fugees did it the most justice

[SKATBLUMPKIN]

totally real, love it

[Tompenni]

this is so shit

[Niuka112]

Three 6 mafia - Who run it

[adubb78]

@kdd What the hell is an "aconym"?? Could you possibly have meant acronym? If so, can you please enlighten us, O musical genius, as to what 'sampling' can possibly be an acronym! If the rappers talk like you type then I would be forced to agree that rap is terrible.

[MrVicnash]

just listen to this ! pure quality, how can anyone dis it ? "dis" as in dislike lets all "get real !"

[gorickard319582010]

20 people (as of 2/9/2011) disliked this great classic? They are probably Justin Bieber fans. Anyway, one of many great classics by the Delfonics that mainstream FM stations rarely play nowadays. Thanks for uploading this great lost classic!

[rapfiend206]

I love it, great music. This song has been used to make at least 2 other no 1 hits for Lauyn Hill and Missy.

[SyrupJones]

MISSY!! and THE FUGEEES

[use2slam2]

WOW, surprised some talentless peice of shit rapper hasn't sampled this classic and RUINED it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[doktorjakyll]

@use2slam2 like this better? :-/

/watch?v=Rk78yx0AFXw&feature=r­elated

[kdd3051]

@use2slam2 you mean 'steal' this classic and ruined it. They use the aconym 'sample' when in reality they're stealing these beautiful classics and then 'talking'  or rapping as they like to call it.

[sssasssw]

Cult brought me here!

[Villeneuve27]

I learned about these guys from the movie Jackie Brown

[liamvg]

Hell Rell (Get Ready) and Missy (Sock it to Me) sampled this.

[falseistrue]

@liamvg The FUGEES made this song before them... ready or not by fugees is much better than hell rell and missy shit...

[47SLA]

For all that love Lauryn Hill - this is another oldie that she knew and used. Still works today even the old school way.

[sherylsworld]

Another one of my favorites...

[jo22338601]

Keep a look out these group are still performing "7O Soul Concerts" all over the country ,and I do mean the old great groups.

[doc2skate]

BTW, those old school tunes should have won more awards than they did. I'm sure those old farts regret this. Now they have to honor Justin Timberlake and Old Dirty Bastard. Good luck with that.

[doc2skate]

Once upon a time, musicians used to go to schools, practiced until their fingers bled and studied with pros; following them to "gigs" and concerts. Today anyone with a turntable and a microphone can "sample" some old tunes and make a couple of hundred thousand.

Can't argue that, but I do miss groups like Stylistics, Delfonics, and Chi-Lites. Number of groups today compaired to groups of the 60's/70's seems to be the same. What a difference from when Ike Hayes covered "Walk On By" to today.

[jo22338601]

@doc2skate Keep a eye out these same groups are still performing all over the country it's a real treat ,I catch them every year. Chi-Lites, Delfonics, Manhattens,Stylistics ,OJays ,Whispers ,Maze, too many to name .

[jeffkatt]

The copied "samples" don't sound HALF as good as the originals in MY opinion....... sorry!

[susej1able]

The classic R&B music stands on it's own merit....great lyrics, arrangements,great song writting skills,talented musicians...Rap music will never achive the same...death and distruction will be its legacy.

[blodachia]

You idiots ought to be glad Rappers still sample Old school songs,if it weren't for them half of these singers of yesteryear would no longer be relevant.

[kdd3051]

@blodachia Are you kidding me? Are you really serious? Rappers sample (or better yet, steal) these incredible songs because all THEY can do is talk. They are not musicians or artists. But, THEY do make ALOT of money off of uneducated, unworldly, low IQ people who have not been exposed to any other type of music except rap. So sad, really

[TheMasterOfSounds]

@blodachia yea right, douche, new rap sucks, at least some of the old spirit still floated in the rappers of 90s, now its all about being though, this music and beatiful music is always relevant to people with a good music ear

[blodachia]

@TheMasterOfSounds I never said that I was a fan of the rappers of today you DOUCHE,I grew up on the rappers of the 90s myself,I'll pick them over Drake and Lil Wayne any day.I'm highly aware that rappers from the late seventies on up have done nothing but sampled music like this,I'm not a late bloomer on oldies,get lost!

[TheMasterOfSounds]

@blodachia youre the douche, douche, coming here on a delfonics video and talk about rappers sampling oldies, and if they didnt this music wouldnt be relevant?? LOL, what do we care, theyre relevant to us, i hate sampling, and i hate most of rap from 90s too, go somewhere else with your shit music, fat joe big punk shit, you look like the shrimp guy from forest gump. This music is way better then rap, im not glad they sample it, get lost yourself

[blodachia]

@TheMasterOfSounds What do you know about this type of music? who cares if you don't like sampling music is music,saying that I look like Bubba from Forrest Gump that is so childish the fuck you doing stalking my page?you like a cross between Bieber and Pete Yorn.shouldn't you be at nearest theater checking out Harry Potter?Get a Life fanboy!

[TheMasterOfSounds]

@blodachia you know, im trolling, youre trolling, were just douching each other out. i know about this type of music, I listen to howlin wolf, sam cook, delfonics, sun, beatles, the doors, so on and so on. I listen to music from the 50s to today. I like sampling, its just that rap is NOT what makes this music relevant. And you know, youre childish as well considering that last line. i have a life, at least i dont post shitty videos of myself talking about my irrelevant life, like you do

[temartinfrajokke]

@blodachia Its kinda harsh, and maybe he was childish. But you DO LOOK LIKE BUBBA, even talk like him to, hahahaha.

[blodachia]

@temartinfrajokke God Damn! another one stalker Fjord Fuk land! you have anything else to but to stalk my page? guess not go get laid you god damn loser!

[blodachia]

@joaped Get off my dick!,you are irrelevant.I tell you what's irrelevant you having an american flag on your profile but you live in a country like Norway,a country that censors the internet and bans R-Rated movies more like bore-way.

[blodachia]

@joaped You get laid faster than I do?judging by your bragging rights,I can tell you don't get laid at all,it's all about the game not about the looks you fuckin spaz.How many men do you pick up at those Fishing docks? and besides Sweden has better looking women.

[temartinfrajokke]

We have alot of fish down here you dumbass, we dont import it, i think you mean export(youre from america and you cant even spell right) our biggest export is petroleum. And We are the richest if you see how much money we have and how much money we make even though our population is 4(?) million people,.USA is poor, you owe money to china, and i only saw 1 of your videos 1 time, anything more you wanna teach me about my own country?

[temartinfrajokke]

@blodachia We not the richest country if you didnt look at population and size, but if you do were the richest. we have over 400 BILLION DOLLARS just from oil money, a regular job here pays 3 times then what it does in usa, were rich, idiot. Biggest import, congrats douche, you just got a little dumber. I at least know youre country owes money, many people loosing their jobs, their home, does that happen here? No, norway has been crowned the best country to live in 6 years in a row now.

[temartinfrajokke]

[blodachia]

@temartinfrajokke Little black Ape?your'e showing yor'e true color's you fuckin racist! I guarantee you wouldn't say that to my face,it's amazing what people say behind a computer that they wouldn't say an inch to somebody's face.

[temartinfrajokke]

@DeportAnchorBabies oohh im sorry didnt know only BLACK AMERICANS could listen to this. why im on this video? ohh i dont know, maybe it was some idiot from usa had to tell me what kind of person i was. Im such a big racist aint i? HU? O oh oh ill stop listening to black music, btw im not a fisherman, thinking im a fisherman just because im from scandinavia is like me thinking youre a gangster just because youre from usa. Youre right, White people can only listen to white music, thanks :)

[blodachia]

@temartinfrajokke Yeah some of Norways Revenue and Controlled assests are equivalent to the US but you are still ignored and plus that money belongs to the bank of London,lecture you on what Fjord Fuck? you have so much knowledge I'm such an ignorant american and I don't know shit about your country.By the way the term "ape" is an offensive word I know 85% of the people in Oslo don't look like me.

[temartinfrajokke]

@blodachia 85% of the people in oslo do look like you, see youre being ignorant, off course im being racist to you. Cause you clearly dont know shit about my country!!! Ever beeen to oslo? More blacks then white. I grew up in tøyen and then95% of the people there was black, they called me "white boy" and threatened me with knifes and guns, dont tell me about being offensive, ive been trhough what youre grandfather went through, whatever, fuck off now, just please please, fuck off.

[TheMasterOfSounds]

@blodachia Know what you should do? stalk my page, and see my favs, maybe youll find some more good music you can rip on. Thats the case here, are you ripping this song? thats what makes us react, and why the hell bring up rap and sampling? I dont HATE rap, but i think most of it is shit. I may seem like an idot to you but you seem like a idiot to me, so theres no going on this. You say: Fuck you, i say : Fuck you, now let us leave it be, dont have the time or energy for stupidity

[blodachia]

@TheMasterOfSounds Dude I don't listen to one type of music and I already told you where I stood I never ripped this song I ripped the people who bashed the artist who sample songs like this.This is getting old

[84regal]

Ready or Not Here I come!

[beyondfamous]

Missy and Timbaland .. Lauryn Hill and the Fugees.. Who else. Personally. I like all the songs that use this sample. :)

[beyondfamous]

@beyondfamous my bad.. The Fugees used the chorus.. not the sample.

[southwest702]

@beyondfamous haha T.I. "get loose"

[mslimmy21]

Missy Elliot used this track on Sock It To Me.

[gayle2020]

loved this group

[1pinkman]

Ordell Robby!

[darintaylor79]

One of the most sampled songs of all time

[prettycountrygirl2]

Still sounding Great.

[D201RECORDS]

This Track is so Hot!

[connmanstephen]

this is suck a popular riff!!! wtf it starts out like bad ass, and goes to a gay love song :(

[TheAndval]

Thats What She Said!

[yarl100]

choochoo time.

[93lovelythang]

The Fugees took it and made it even more sick!!

[yutube221]

the orchestra... da... da da da da dom... the strings, ready or not here i come, oh mann i am sooo glad to be able to come back... when all gets muddled in earth and in each year, the heart of love, yearns for Love and cant be consoled with nothing but the truth, nothing but the LOVE BALLADS... and you know its true. ! um so glad for you tube and for being able to go back to find my love...

[ernestot1000]

these guys sang good together.

[legithater]

The Jackson 5 did this song and made it even more popular than it already was. That was the first time I remember hearing it. Now when I go back to the J5's first 2 -3 albums a lot of those songs were covers not new songs from groups that came before them but were re-introduced to "the young folks via the J5"

[ladycat629]

Does anyone know where the Delfonics are from and any bit of history on these brothas? R they still with us here on Earth?

[esmith2691]

sound familiar anyone?

[anncaesar90]

@esmith2691 The Roots used the hook n concept

[anncaesar90]

@esmith2691 sorry imeant the fugees

[NowUknowJoe]

@esmith2691 The intro beat stolen by Missy Elliot.

[PmMidnight]

@NowUknowJoe and by three six mafia...Who run it

[sakpase19]

did anybody notice t.i. or tip whatever he uses these days

well he used the intro horn bit on the intro of one his songs.

i didnt see anybody mention it

[chynadollbitch]

It takes a genius ( or a madman) to be able to flip stuff like this. Its already gold. Im glad Missy and The Fugees were apart of my generation and made a true gem like this relevant for me.

[dalonewolf420]

and hell rell stole the intro track

[alphoonz1]

this is there song not a remake.

[206Nish]

Whats the brass in the background? Trumpet?

[pinero176]

i grew up hearing this my moms would play this song

[tiwstape]

three six mafia killed this with who run it

[simplexyz38]

missy sock it to me was the best

[tiwstape]

true she was nice

[miff1957]

Fugees ruined it.

Leave classic music alone.

[mychalsimonzmusic]

When Music was MUSIC..... I don't know what the hell they are doing now.....

[Chicago10281]

@mychalsimonzmusic And also, music made a lot of sense back then! But not today in this day and age now!

[COCONDECK]

Fugees is the best remake

[m123tzz]

okay, what ever!

[COCONDECK]

remake yes thumbs down no, Who has a better remake thaan Ready or Not Here I come U cant Hid im gonna find you lol huh??

[SIRnonsense123321]

[AFCA4EVER]

Wow... never knew Missy and Fugees stripped this track for their hits.

Cool to hear the original song :)

[johnodrum]

Just Love the original version dont BUTCHER IT!!! with ur lame hip hop

[m123tzz]

I totally agree with you I can't stand the freaken singers of today.

[TheAdamo92]

[rightknowledgeman]

j5 did a decent cover of it

[humblejumble2]

they copied bliss n esso

[royale67]

[drabh1]

@royale67 haha kids these days lmao

[Flur0Lipstick]

[c2a13]

I Wanna Sample The Beat And Turn It Into Some Hip Hop Joint'

[Daycounter]

Timbaland Sampled this...for

Missy elliott - Sock it to me

[911BattleScars01]

3-6 mafia did on "who run it" too.

[dopescale]

fugees used the chorus basically

[911BattleScars01]

Yeah, thats right. Thats what I have in my head when I first hear it.

[DCASOI]

No they did not the instruments only sound the same

[911BattleScars01]

NO, they did. They sampled it in a way that you couldn't tell. That bass horn intro is what they used.

[DCASOI]

they only used the horn which is not sampling. sampling is when the rhythm or vocals are reused or mimicked to sound somewhat like the original rhythm

[Fyeagass16]

...whats tha name of the song in fighting movie, they use the same beat, but different, does someone kno?

[mausolos8]

This song brings back memories of the Jersey Shore....Great song...Thank You
