I remember listening to this at the same time as En Vouge - Hold On. Both using the James Brown sample The Payback (1973).

[blkgnuz2007]

This song was the only reason I begged my mom to buy me that album on casette tape. Back in '90 it was a rare video on those low-budget hip hop tv shows that used to come on after midnight & it blew my fuckin' mind. The atmosphere & feel of this song with that setting was like a weird dream on LSD. ..feelin' the retro digitized-graphics, startin' @ 2:42 it always reminded me of those full motion videogames during the SEGA CD & NEC TurboGrafx-16/CD era. "It Came From The Desert" LOL!

[MrUrosSrb]

[AntiCrackerLiberals]

When you listening to the court tv show Judge Mathis going off and listen to the drums in both this video and his show when it's going off, they sound almost alike but this video drums sound more slowed down and the judge tv show used this beat sample

[invincibleironman3]

great song...even the spirit of the video was good..mad max style...post apocalypse...not bad.

[alexanderdewey]

"sunroof open so i could feel the wind blow, i dont give a damn if it cracks my back window"....i never forget that line after all these years,.

[travoescobar]

man dis used to bang in them hatchback ford escorts

[missqueenbeezk]

I havent head this sonq n al0nq azz tyme.. HEYYYYY TY FA THA MEMOZ!!

[scabvomit]

The lesson to be learned is: If you're going to make a video, make sure it visually incorporates the best elements of Mad Max, CHIPS (or T.J. Hooker), "The Wizard" (or "The Last Starfighter" or the video game "Road Blasters"), and Duran Duran's "Rio". Musically, throw in sampled James Brown "the big payback" & "funky drummer" reworked by Marley Marl and you have gold. As Stan Lee would say: 'Nuff said.

[taxkng]

...girlies wanna ride wit a brova like, cuase they here me gettin fonkey constintly!!!

[therealraybaby]

COOL IN FRONT CHILLIN!

[tiddlerz]

@Deschain420 ...pass the Heinicken/mind your business/then pass it around/lay back hypnotized by the funky sound

Still looking for his DVD/VHS collection called "Future of the Funk" with all the videos

Also check out the "Mama said knock you out" 20th anniversary mixtape by Kevin Nottingham!

[Sixfigas]

@dirtdevil808 Roll up a fat one and pass it around/layed back hypnotized by the funky sound.

You had it just one small error. I'm very passionate about that line cause it took me years to finally find a copy with it uncencorsed! lol

[dirtdevil808]

@Sixfigas yeah, you are right! My version is on some tape I did way back when I used to sit in front of the radio and record Tim Westwood-didn't hear it for years so I totally forgot about what the missing part was. Do you have a mp3 copy you could send me? Plus, do you have any idea about where to get that DVD collection I mentioned!?

[Sixfigas]

@dirtdevil808 I only have the uncensored version on LP unfortunately. 

[DJSexStyle]

Yeaaaaa!

I got this on wax. It has 2 other versions on the single.... not remixes, but LL spittin' different lyrics.

[ledzep000001]

Too bad you forgot the volume STUPID. Go look up HD now STUPID.

[jbreezy103]

[KhalilRaekwon]

@frankwhite432 lol you said pac man. i really dont think its him looks like him at a glance. but he was with digital underground at the time and they were from california and were not really associated with eastern groups. but again this is what i think soooo..,.ya

[jetit]

[juliustheman]

When RAP was all good...

Original MCs, original videos,etc...

[str8kuntry82]

Man 3:30-3:38 is some freakiness!

[str8kuntry82]

"Roll up a fat one and pass it around/ lay back, hypnotized by the funky sound" is a line that the DaBrat sampled for the hook on the song "Let's All Get High" featuring Krayzie Bone from Anuthatantrum album.

[bockybalboa]

[DrOCkABlEs]

[amarvinwinansfan]

after 20yrs this is still ish!!!!!! oooh it still sound so good!! I love LL!

[NotoriousANT24]

bumpin this shit in bmw yesterday

[Brugality]

This is still one of the greatest songs of all time to pump if you a great high powered audio system in your car. Big amps and subs only! Don't blast this in your puny factory speakers bitches!!

[Xone7]

drippin sex all ova the floor

[ObjectiveApproach]

I still have this album, he really covered a lot of subjects on it real talk from being broke to crooked cops to staying true to god to the foul ghetto to females and of course battling Kool Moe and Ice T. Met my 1st girl while this joint was playing in the background...LOL..Ahhh the memories.

[ObjectiveApproach]

He went with the whole mad max theme in this vid

[MrCandlewax]

niggas cant deny this shit is dope

[AntL]

this is still one of my fav songs.

[blaze9169]

the video is wack; the song is phat.

[JasonWllms55]

this was probably the first rap song i ever learned word for word ( i was born in 85). love this song. have the utmost respect for LL and what he has done. i will keep it real though and say the video is not that good. lol

[desertflower001]

I love the videos they r so out there!

[YoungroDDieTV]

yea, still bumpin that in my car!!

[grocero76]

haha those original ninja 250's?!

[jdosia]

and En Vogue had the ill bass flow added that this song never did

[lpc0615]

Both versions was cool. I like how En Vogue did their version for "hold on".

[OhioBoneThugz]

The song is fire , but the video is wack as hell !!!

[torchiest]

Awesome song, but lol man this video is so cheesy, it's great.

[tonyybailly]

cool beat

[rhoggard76]

J-Roc says Know what I'm Sayin

[squarecnix]

that nigga ll cool J been swoll since forever lol hahahaha

look at this video . that chick at 2:21 is fuckin fine is her amazonian outfit or w/e

[chronwell]

Laidback Hypnotized by the funky sound!

[BlackLaw2020]

Always a sweet jam but too bad he had to jack the beat from En Vogue's "Hold On" song from March of 1990, but still nice to hear.

[blakwidowbambi]

Actually, LL did not jack the beat from En Vogue. BOTH En Vogue and LL sampled that beat from James Brown's "The Payback" aka "The Big Payback" from 1973. Get your facts straight.

[iluvkoolaid78]

@blakwidowbambi STRAIGHT UP TELL EM BABY! GETTIN DOWN WIT MY GIRLFRIEND...... THAT AINT RIGHT! HEEEEEEEYYYYYY!

[honeegrrl]

@blakwidowbambi Okay why was I trying to tell people that and they didn't believe me. The Payback has been used many times by rappers and by a few singers :-)

[AkquellaS]

@blakwidowbambi You tell'em what it is!

[xpoondiggy]

@blakwidowbambi ahaha thumbs up...GET EM

[BassBeatsProductions]

"C to the O to the O to the L to the I to the N

To the F to the R to the O to the N to the T to the I to the N

That means I'm chillin" CLASSIC

[shaveyourtaint]

This was the shit that had anyone with a license and a car building downright outlandish-assed speaker boxes for projects like junior/senior year woodshop. Nova, pickup, VW, Bronco...you name it, no one was immune. Fuck rims, you spent all your coin on watts.

[sonick808]

LOL truth. you know i had the 15" kickers and the 400 watt concorde amps in my 77 nova

wtf happened to hiphop. we used to listen to ll, cypress hill, shit like that on our boomin systems. this coke/trap/murder rap is bullshit

[thehognias]

right! i just heard some ridiculous bullshit from game (with ray j) talking about eating pussy. the whole song. about eating pussy. you cant bump that shit in your car.

[stephano32]

lol

[agentbl]

Can someone please tell me why real hip hop like this is being phased out or pushed underground while that other crap rap is out there?

[juliustheman]

LL COOL J, one of the best to rock tha mic ( before the botox injections off course )

[jabari27]

man i just dug up this cassette haha i been bumpin in 24/7 for like a week haha

[l0vef00l0s0pher]

u know it old school when you use the word cassette :)

[jabari27]

yup haha that thing is like as old as me haha

[Sameolg100]

"Cars ride by wit the booming system" classic shit, great video. LL a legend, he has a great catalog.

[igotit2009]

i like this song n im 24

[tateavery21]

get LL's return of the goat and exit 13 CD

[Hot80s]

what's behind that video game? COMMODORE 64. lol.

[bigjerry69]

if you had the whip chicks was on this shit when you was pumpin this beat it was serious man lol

[hymen2]

the best song to test speakers

[TheBlackAviator]

Agreed!

[therealraybaby]

Back in the day, this guy was what we all wanted to be like; good looking and cool. Only problem was we all hated we didn't have his fame and money. Girls illed out over this dude back in the day. I once dated a girl who dated him before me and she told me it was a one night stand that she wished could have never ended. So I told her don't worry baby, u got me now? And she said "u ain't ladies love or cool like James". LOL True story

[Pzjh]

Interesting, how can you compete with a famous rapper? Even if you gave her better lovin than LL, she'd still want him cos of his status! Bitches....

[BassBeatsProductions]

@therealraybaby haha thats dope
