Slick Rick & Doug E Fresh Tribute 2 - The Show - 1985

[MangoSpleen]

@3litricthunderkat

Rapping about stupid shit like fuckin bitches, smoking, or how bad ass you are ain't cool. It shows how fake you are.

[holyeggsbatman]

@MangoSpleen

im 18 and I completely agree with you, thunderkat just has no taste in music. :(

[brettpedersen15]

@MangoSpleen is this serious?

[Simulated100]

Ohh my god.... ohhh my god...

Excuse me dougie fresh....

[ib2raw06]

Reading the comments you would swear all new music is trash. I agree we can't forget about the classics, but there's plenty of good and even amazing music out there if you're willing to look for it. Unless ur happy with being stuck in the past.

[girlracer77]

@ib2raw06 Could you please share the names of some of this music? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, it is just that I have completely stopped buying hip hop because the music has gotten so bad. I believe you that there is good music out there and it is just not getting exposure. It would be great if you shared examples when you are commenting so that these artists can get some exposure.

[TheASsAs1]

true hip hop, the new generation take on the old example, you forgot the essence of hip hop, the party, the rhyme, the beat, and the positive message, fuck 50 cent and IS commercial music, hip hop is not an industry, it is a philosophy ... weak emcee meditate on it ...

[macewindu67]

@TheASsAs1 The problem is that this generation has NO IDEA what hip hop is. They dont know about grafitti, break dancing, beat boxing, and what it means to grab a mic and be a MC>

[3litricthunderkat]

@macewindu67 

[3litricthunderkat]

@macewindu67 yo fuck up im sixteen and our generation deff no wat being a reall mc is havin u smell like S.H.I.T STRAIGHT UP BITCH and i gota mic and my lyrics so deff im noed as speacail thunder kat u walking clit and excusse my languge but ur gramother toled me this so bite down and enjoy sucking on my generations new born ass dick

[DJCW]

Street Sounds Electro 9.

For those who know!!

and I bet there ain't many..

[bossshun9]

It doesn't get no better than this. I am so glad I was born around this time. Music today is not even alright any more. Thank God for letting great rappers pass music on to remind us of why old school is sometimes better.

[EricV1]

I'm always on duty!

[KrazyC2008]

Flashbacks are so amazing. 1985 was the year!!! Thundercats, Robotech, the greatest hip hop of all etc,etc.

[HeyManThatsMine]

my right ear liked this but my left ear didnt

[ajerez99]

Yo, dis jam is so old-school!

[gg10035]

dog e fresh was born in da carbbean, my girlfriend used to live next to them, and they went school 2gether... YA

[vanassa625]

Uhh...this is the JAMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CaneFu]

I remember being in a neighborhood disco in 1985, it was nothing more than an old converted garage. This was one of those unreal places that was tiny on the outside but seemed to get magically larger when you walked inside. The place was packed with people & so full of smoke that I could barely see across the room. As soon as this song started playing all these gorgeous black women hit the dance floor & started shaking their stuff in time with the music. Right then, I knew what "heaven" was.

[TheBAYBEA]

"oh my god'

[praetordigital]

its ashame that Doug E. Fresh is a scientologist lost repsect for him big time hey, why would u do that lol

[SnowBuzz1]

This was my song when I used to go ot the club many years ago.

It brings lots of good memories back.

Thanks.

[AtheistFMD518]

23 PEOPLE...

[TheNikkaNinja]

[Un1qu3gaMeR]

[lowell502]

[Monstylicious]

[PS3xMedia]

[395muriel]

[sameolegirl]

Love this and remember it well. Does not get any better than OL SKOOL rap. Give me RUN DMC, Mantronix, Whodini, LL COOL J- Rock the Bells!, Kool Moe D, and just about any rapper that was on the set for the 80's! You could not go wrong

[987Eyeball]

i love old school rap, not bruno mars or whatever his name is

[chargamer]

@987Eyeball Bruno Mars isn't a rapper.

[987Eyeball]

i love this song..........and i am only 11 years old

[blackpowerfreak]

@987Eyeball I love this song too! and I'm only 2 years old!!!

[sprouse9]

Finally a version of the show that says, "Michelle my bell...." while all the other versions cut that part out.

[1themusicgurl]

omg i'm 13 and I love this song. to be honest when i listen to old school music i think it's waaaaay better than the modern music. most kids my age luv nicki minaj and all that crap. But I love slick rick and doug e fresh haha

[sayzy517]

@1themusicgurl me too :)



[1themusicgurl]

@sayzy517: Yay!! SO im not the only one!! *high five* lol

[sayzy517]

@1themusicgurl nopee lOl . iilisten to this music all the time &&' my bf is always like "uu too ol' skoo for me"

[MikeBellinger]

This iz MY SHIIIT!!

[Change2be1]

Dougie still looks the same not a day over 18, but I know he's older but he makes the new school rapper look like 80 year olds. Whatever you're doing or not doing Dougie keep it up looking good.

[preciouskiss3]

Im in my late teens and my uncle played this song every since then i fell in love with 80s and 90s songs and some 70s i still to up to date music but i still listen to old songs because it will never get old

[Chuckclc]

These guys deserve all the re-recognition they are getting. I saw Doug-E on ESPN live a few months ago! Its awesome, they started and did all this stuff, even when it wasnt sold in stores. imagine that.

[171TITO]

I was about 12 when this song 1st came out.We were in shock cause it sounded like nothing else ever. Went 2 a wedding last nite & this song brought the house down!Almost 30 yrs later we now love this classic.

[nicodagger]

First heard this coming out of someone's car at the Puente Hills Mall in 1985 when me and Melinda were there...we only heard the little bit, "oh oh oh my god" and searched forever until we found out the name of it...classic song

[flyboymj100]

go hard for a old song.......

[aldreiron]

luv n dis song

[MusicalObsessions]

still remember hearing this for the first time. back when you used to get excited about all the new releases coming out. just dont get that feeling about music anymore!

[snap1920]

@MusicalObsessions ya got that right......,musics gone down the tubes.......i think it died in '95....

[pro1chevelleSS]

Epic Video for an Epic Rap from the early days......RIP Slick Rick!!!!!!!

[TheRiobezerko]

Damn, this shit brings back awesome memories.

[MFoRMiLLeR]

God why cant music be like this nowadays. Im only 17 but i wish i was alive when this music was released. This is better than any shit nowadays

[malikusj8]

awesome



[WilliamHarris007]

The 21 dislikes go fuck yourself fucking bitches

[cror]

@WilliamHarris007 the 24 that disliked it were born in the late 90s and early 2000s haha pussies!

[pro1chevelleSS]

@ruffbizness I would say they were better :)

[danBLAZED]

[davisbloke]

I was was 10 years old when this came out.

Recorded it off the radio and played it all day every day for a month, hilariously trying to beatbox along :)

[davionic2]

[malika395]

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!

[jerk2thebone]

20 people dont understand what hip-hop is, they're stuck in soulja boy's ass

[Damirness]

[kaj34]

If any1 was wondering he wears an eyepatch cuz one of his eyes was cut by glass

[yeahgirl11]

@kaj34 Really? Ouch. I thought they would've taken his eye out or something.

[ItachiPkedYou]

@yeahgirl11 It was when he was an infant... I guess they figured it might heal eventually or something.

[rasta1724]

[xxxbankrollzxxx]

Nobody knew who Slick rick and doug E fresh was... but they brought out a double sided single... with ''The Show'' on one side and ''La Di Da Di'' on the other side. The rest is history.

[funkypasta]

@xxxbankrollzxxx

I have said double single on vinyl!

[KillianBeast]

This is where they got the theme for Inspector Gadget :D

[beautifulopusoflove]

@KillianBeast The Show's melody is interpolated from Inspector Gadget, not the other way around.

[skillz8me]

Oh snap he has a badazzled eye patch O_o

[wallyworld776]

19 dislikes were about to pu their Bally's on, but could not find a shoe horn...as a result, their corns got crushed

[thehumanshin]

@wallyworld776 youre trying to hard

[msprettywoman1000]

Hip hop was so much fun back then I wish they could make something new to get us back to that fun

[VaTuRa1]

CooL :)

[DOKt00n]

[boldcreation69]

REAL HIP HOP!!!

[TheMrSpam]

[sbarajasjr]

Slick Rick making a Beatles reference in this song....who says two opposite genres can't work together

[TheJoey1s]

I went to Columbus High in the Bronx. I loved this shit. We all got along and were friends. I wish we could have it back! RACE DIDNT MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheJoey1s]

I went to Columbus High in the Bronx. I loved this shit. We all got along and were friends. I wish we could have it back!

[Sadukar7thLegion]

My first rap single, old skool, stiiiiill class.

[kimmy1984]

Hands down my favorite rapper of all time Doug E Fresh!!!

[MultiArisai]

Here's a joke!

You know how Slick Rick is blind in one eye because his was cut by broken glass as a baby?

Well, I believe that piece of glass was Lil Wayne in disguise because he was mad that Rick was the better rapper, even as a baby. Lil Gayne wanted revenge, and killed hip-hop altogether. Lil Gayne was also jealous Rick is from england and said his words properly and had a cool accent, unlike lil gayne with the accent of a retard.

joking

[kristenmhilby]

They don't make rappers like they use to.

[shawndjequinox]

wow looks like 19 Justin Bieber fans saw this video

[eblasphamy1]

everytime i listen to this it makes my day! so playin all this at my wedding! so much funner n cooler than everyone else!!

[JennVISUALdesigner]

Thanks 4 posting video...brings back good memories on why I loved Hip_Hop when I was a teen in the 80's...when Hip-hop ROCKed.

[ludacris449]

this stuff is better than new hip hop so fuck this

[goodmanfilife]

I still recall the summer of '85. Some 26 years later, this still sound so 'FRESH'. Dougie Fresh hasnt aged at all. "Now you gotta be... To rock with.... Cause Im D o u g i e...".

[miyan12]

"I was goin downtown.... WORD Rick...WORD!! lol Kick it

[RapxNxRoll]

wheres the download

[SEHANO]

Ever seen Slick Rick's eye? If you look for a picture, make sure not to do it while eating.

[MusicFromRobE]

@SEHANO - I remember you could see his other eye in his debut single/video "Teenage Love", he is talking to dudes(including Big Daddy Kane, who eventually takes his "teenage love" at the end of the video) and he is wearing seeing/reading glasses and you can see his other eye. You can see what I am talking about because Slick Rick has a VEVO account. So, search "Slick Rick - Teenage Love

[MusicFromRobE]

Who remembers Salt N Pepa's diss song titled "The Show Stoppa" from their 1986 LP/CD titled "Hot, Cool and Vicious" ?? Anyone?

[IconVanity]

@MusicFromRobE - I do. lol Love their debut album.

[Louizabiza]

Remember this in the 'hood. Don't like comments about women but this is great...Old school original rap is the best rap. This is creativity when this barely existed, coming out of a crap neighborhood (one way to look at it).

[Louizabiza]

Remember this in the 'hood. Don't like comments about women but this is great...Old school original rap is the best rap.
