[SymonDymond]

LL cool J there at the start. I remember him on this. I though what a supremely lovely guy. Nice bloke. Respect. MC tunes and 808 state. Great.!! except for the nonsense about manchester being the capital of England!.

[SkaBeatPete]

[michaelleedham]

[ifedthehorse]

Reverb too high, can't understand a word, except it's in an American accent. Gotta love the awkward early 90s.

Still sounds cool though!

[twobyfour]

I love that Stone Roses "I am the resurrection" bass loop.

[kimbow1965]

[pchumbod]

[michaelleedham]

[adeofspades1]

"Manchester, Dance capital of England" - class.

[Blswa]

Betty Boo................???????????­?????

[69waveydavey]

I hated this kind of thing back in it's day, but fuck me this sounds good compared to all this modern shit.

[StyleSessions]

Nickey had flow, and this kind of rap/dance hybrid was pretty original at the time.

Only Rhyme that bites is still better tho.

[thatdippytwat]

Christ.. I had this on Vinyl!

[JonMcElectro]

Were is MC Tunes this Day and Age?

[skywalker1973]

@JonMcElectro MC Tunes formed another band called The Dust Junkys, I urge you to track down their album on itunes or whatever, its classic.

[JonMcElectro]

@skywalker1973 I'll give it a Listen.

[beenyroy]

It's a shame he's rapping in an American accent

[JFAINTER88]

@beenyroy hes been doing it since 14. he not gonna change his style for u. and no its not a shame.

[acidhouse1988]

Why the fuck is rapping with a yank accent?

Chump.

[MrRedbullvettel]

[agghtee]

Sounds like John Cooper Clarke!

[august251976]

Wicked rapping - he was up there, white guy, English smacking it to the yanks haha. Atari St, i had one of those - exciting times - the music to come out then was amazing. 808 state, best mixers in the world

[force101978]

Loving the Stone Roses sample

[Royst]

@force101978 me 2 mate pure spankin :)

[lesterlives]

Never get tired of hearing this song - real energy and attitude. One of the few songs from that era in this style that is still worth listening to. This is a great performance as well.

[mandie1977]

yea defo

[oldschoolbeatsrock]

Mint original and refreshing for the time MC Tunes aka Nicky Lockett. 808 State loved them too pure electronic LSD lovin.

The word " I d do anything to get on telly " some guy snogging an old woman mingin lol

[mrmrscosanostra]

the only thing that matters from the madchester era

[andrewt008]

Yeah dont forget the happy mondays, stone roses, new order, Gerald, the great acid house music from that time & 808 state obviously!!!

[fascistamericadotnet]

haha thats a fucking atari st no less - blimey

[headfullofmusic]

fantastic dancing

[goggamaz]

Sounds like background sample from The Stone Roses Resurection.. somebody please confirm..

[mr2gti]

100% Bud :)

[weecoby3]

Correct sir!

[Errikksen]

this is the shit

[ruth1488]

this is brilliant....love it...swansea.

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Circular shades ftw

[djwilduk]

Great track, great show. Everyone had a go at The Word, but it was fresh and cool, like nothing on TV at the time. I once went to see the show in Wembley. Great night, met Terry who was lucid and intelligent... Like they said on the ticket - DO NOT WEAR GREEN!

[PokerKnave]

could take or leave the Word then but now looking at programs today it was brilliant. LLCool J and Mc tunes should have done a track now that would be interesting.

[nprintheshit]

Nicky locket got his tongue right up cool J's arse there

[forestfan69]

doubt it you retard!!! you cocksucker!

[awattscurnow]

Atari ST

[uglytings]

Yeah MC TUNES is still recording. To see what he's up to just join my uglytings channel. He's also due to release a remix of The Only Rhyme That bites for the upcoming reissue of the North At Its Heights Albumn

[armalyte]

fuckin nora, this takes me back to club nights galore. This is before martyn pryce left the outfit, and 808 state became more proggy and YMO influenced after that.

[gerrad1973]

atari ST-eeeee!

[petelee67]

Top sample, Top Fuckin Tune.

This tune was made for heavy rotation.

[gladiator346]

whats the sample called,

[davidsan01]

The guitar hook is from Stone Roses 'I Am The Ressurection' As far as the other sounds sampled im not sure.

[monkeymajikman]

the "aaahhh" vocals in the background are from a Byrds song, cant remember which song though

[DINKYDALTON2]

Used to run a r'n'b come jazz night at PJ bells , now matt and phreds on tibb street , pj bells used to be oldham street, heard he'd wrapped a baseball bat round someone's head over money they owed, was well ripped of by 808 state and there record label.

[kotrie]

My mum told me they followed him to his house so he went inside and got out the baseball bat (aluminium!) and disabled them(!).

[davidsan01]

Came from Moss Side but originally from Bowden. Moved to Moss Side to improve his street cred.

Still a genius though, does anyone know what he's upto these days?

[pablokahuna]

bob on, fucking quality - riff nicked from stone roses i am the resurrection 3mins 54 seconds and it well used here mc tunes the man!!!

[ruth1488]

[cormack32]
