[TheCaddy84]

LANSING MI  !! ZUP BUTCHER FROM KUJO

[Timario007]

Who has thee original?

[ProudScotsmanRex]

New jack swing sounding version

[commodorecrush]

This version stinks.

[tinkame2]

what about CRAZY OVER YOU AND SITTIN BACK COOLIN???????????

[elektrosoundwave]

The Butcher used Kraftwerk to beat the Devil. Awesome

[WingoStar313]

I wish i knew what the "devil's groove" sample was from..

[chanpain]

@WingoStar313 its a james brown track.. on another note this isn't the original version to this song i have it on vynil and it s way sicker than this one...

[mrmusicsnob]

@chanpain hi-five for having this on wax. I will pay you for a .wav of that track.

[KickSnareNichtsMehr]

@WingoStar313 I'm pretty sure it's from possibly the most-sampled record of all time, James Brown's "In the Jungle Groove." The horn sample is from "Give it up or Turnit A Loose", but the live guitar riff that sets it up is altered from the original.

[favwhiteboy517]

too bad they started snitching once they got busted

[metairie33]

almost as good as dj magic mike

[KIRKLINHALL]

The KMC KRU from back in the day. DJ Butcher is still the man! Enjoy...

[JTinGR]

@KIRKLINHALL

Yes, the Butcher IS the man. I'm in a club in Lansing, MI right now and he just came up to the booth to chat with me. I haven't seen him in over a decade. He's actually spinning at a club across the street from where I am right now. Good to see him again and see this video again for the first time in many years.

[wetdogkilla55]

hate the cracker one

[pacmanfever100]

Wow, I remember this from back in the day.

[brokazell]

just found this album on casette at a thrift store, didn't think there was a video for this song though. I gotta say it's not that bad.

[iheartap72]

That cell phone is HUGE.

[djsaulgood]

Yeah dude, the Chitown cut was waaaay tighter

[KidMuscleJaguar]

@djsaulgood Dude I concur!

[xclicks]

мощнейшие мобилы...

[rickeshey]

wow this is Quite awesome but yes it was made a long time ago!!!

[Raixor]

This song was cool for about a week in the clubs (in the EARLY 90s) until you saw it on MTV and realized just how lame the lyrics were. "He had some doublemint gum, so he put it in his mouth, I guess he enjoyed the taste". I mean c'mon now. That's lame even for Rap still being in its early stages.

[enforce007]

that version of the song is realy a fail !

[MathewRusso]

No offense...but this blows. Why? There is a version called "The Devil Came Up To Chicago" which is almost exactly like the original C.D. song, but house music, and no rap... it's primo, but where can you find it now a days?????

[SinsterKO]

definitely the chicago version was way better with the house music but the kru still rapped. i wish they did have this version.

[kdobes40]

@SinsterKO Ive got the chicago version on a cassette tape somewhere. I recorded it off the radio back in the day. Wish i could find it. This version, although almost exactly the same, seems ridiculous compared to the chicago version.

[mareli82]

hehe nice mixup

[GOTYEYO]

WTF

[DLM28659]

great to see Charlie on this video; I knew he was a great sport! :)

[jakhammer122003]

i have all 3 versions of this on cd ripped of course this is the remix the background fillins are different all you here on this one is hey , hey, hey on my other version it's not on there and i have the bass version also

[gunthorr]

this version is OK but sucks compared to the version i'm used to...

[cocomolsu]

I was just thinking the same thing.

The beat is different on this one. But I'm not sure which one I'm used to hearing...the bass version I guess?

[99Boogies]

Anyone know how to get the radio version of this?

[3rato]

wow, i have this on casette single.. yea.  LMAO!!

[MeinErsterFilm]

always preferred the uptempo stuff. 1:38 reminds me of band called son of berzerk. 2:50 is a breath taker.

[JasariaD]

i love this sond because my dad is a dancer and my uncle tracy!!

[favwhiteboy517]

this is a old classic from lansing and i smile evertime i hear it but it's too bad what those boys ended up doing but atleast tracy is now a preacher

[rbertellotti]

I think I know what version everyone's talking about. I have an MP3 copy, but the first 6-7 seconds are pretty fuzzy. Otherwise it rules! Thanks AJ1059x for posting this.

[krafteame]

I agree, I rememer a bass version of this. Im glad I found this though I have been looking for a long time for this. Does anyone hve the bass version???

[chefjeff2002]

did you ever find the bass version? if so what did you find it on

[Flight58]

WOOOOOO!!!!!!!11

[DJJIMMY214]

man this was good, i think there was a different bass version that sounded good,

[dirtybawbag]

Devil's in the house!

Love the scratchin on this

[PhilosopherSocrates]

Best version is the original but the best cover by far is this one!

[perservereandconquer]

What is the origional??

[PhilosopherSocrates]

"The Devil Went Down To Georgia" by The Charlie Daniels Band

[bbriiannz]

lol, Charlie is in the beginning sleeping and snoring.

[MarkPusch]

Been searching for this for years, THX!

But I remember a different version and a diffeent video when it was on MTV

[SteelerJsun]

OMG! I ain't heard this in a minute! Good lookin out, man...

[popcyclezz]

hahah same thing i said 'cause someone said this to mee

OMGOSH I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS IN A COOOL MINUTE!

[IOMexiclown]

this isnt the version i know ......

its ok

just different

[nedenstretcher]

i mean their cd version is much better!!!

[DanielDemented]

yeah it is

[nedenstretcher]

this is a weak version of this song

[kbotta]

Let me clarify what I do know is fact. Lead singer - Tracy Edmund, has a gospel song out. Was on the Evan Almighty sound tract. He is a pastor of a church in lansing. The lord does work in mysterious ways! Blessings to him and his family.

[kbotta]

Naw. Lead singer went to prison. Butcher's still cutting it up in lansing Michigan last I heard. Sarge is out of prison now. Heard he was going to do a gospel hip hop album. Slim and stretch dancing. LOL!! They used to break it down...>LOL!!

[fistjedi]

Wow. Classic. How come I have never heard of this group?

[xSp3c7aCuLaRx]

im only 21 years old and i had the cassette to this, there was only 2 songs on it, wow that seems like forever ago.

[cincyimages]

I am a little embarrassed to admit this but I had this CD and the song on the CD was much better than this remix with the annoying track overlaid over the song.

[freakwilliams]

MAN hOLD UP That IS Cowboy Troy!!!!!!

[freakwilliams]

is it just me or does this guy sound like Cowboy Troy?

[ponchpi]

I loved this song as a kid. Put it on a mixtape about 9 years ago after finally finding it via the digital age. Damn they were ugly tho

[thabizzo510]

HAHA

[zsyed12345678]

Portable phone! LMAO

[Spartiala]

I love this! It was AWESOME!!

[unico]

very amusing version.

[kokujin1982]

He had a brand new Nissan truck, convertible,

With a portable phone.

He had a Kenwood deck that was pumpin' loud,

As he stopped in a "No Parking" zone.

[kokujin1982]

The Devil came up to Michigan,

He was lookin' for a soul to steal.

He had trouble in mind,

As he drove on the line.

He was lookin' to make a deal.

[kokujin1982]

i have been looking for this. i even got the tape.

[chrispdx]

Charlie Daniels in the video makes it 100x as dope as it could have been.

[cocheese79]

Agreed! Awesome find by the way, I taped this song off the radio as a kid and used to listen to it all the time, but haven't heard it in the last 15 years. THANKS!

[pyenapple]

Great one. Why is it so tiny though? Any way to get a better version?

[41music]
