  • This was tha s_it...these were REAL feel good records that covered many topics, didn't get offensive & KEPT you dancin'..It's nothing more than the era that this came out in..things were new, positive & not so drama laced..this was a new genre & in the present Hip Hop needs to learn from this era & create something that wont warrant the amount of critisisim it recieves.

  • I remember going out to buy a hugh [buttox] weather because the dancers looked smooth in em :D Being 6'4" it was a bit of a challenge but I found one :D

    I needed some space on the dance floor for this joint!!!!!

  • no disrespect intended but funny how a speech impedement could make such a signature sound for EPMD. Always loved this song

  • This is my favorite EPMD track of all time.

  • Scratch destroys it on the cut

    PLEASE put EPMD in VH1 Hip Hop Honors!

  • @olskoolrich for real, they should have been in the hip hop honors

  • @pbrown711 yeah any of us around at that time remember EPMD , they should definately be in there.

  • untouchable

  • Drums by Soul II Soul - Fairplay.

  • 90s rap video were weird with all the dancing and stuff but EPMD is UNTOUCHABLE.

  • Man, the new cats coming up these days is scared to dance. Back in the day I couldn't wait for the weekend so I could go cut a rug. Must be why all these little nickas is fat. That ish is History right there man, part of Hip Hop culture. Nothing weird about it. Young Cats act like it's not cool to dance. To busy holding the wall up Ice grillin other men... Yall missing out.

  • This is '89.

    There was a little less dancing in the 90s.lol

  • " Wax a sucka like mop n glo" do they still make that shit? LOL Damn this shit is old. But check out Scratch on the cut!! Wow, still stands the test of time to those in the know

  • what are you talking about? The videos back then were what real videos were all about.. Lyrical skills and people actually dancing .. not just tits and ass

  • The untouchable decade of hip-hop. Real hip-hop.

  • One word: Untouchable

  • Ahhh back when rappers were about originality and everybody had their own style. Today's rappers are now so cookie cutter.

  • Somebody take me back to 1989.

    P.E. De La Soul, EPMD, NWA, Silver Bullet, Ice T, so many great acts.

    They just don't make 'em like this anymore

  • i hear ya man i lov Ice T and de la soul and nwa i which dat the rap era would come bac and i can listen to this shit 4 da 1st and yall can hear in for the 2nd times of yalls lives

  • i wish i was back in time

    Missy Elliot is in???

    C'mon man!

    If any of yall is old enough to be at a party when this joint came on...it was ON!!!!!!!

    Me and boy used to hit all the dance joints off this....

    Oh...I'm sorry I got caught up...

    Back to this era..."You a jerk..you a jerk...

  • @olskoolrich that's funny but your write about today's music BS... leave tha Auto-Tune alone

  • I know

  • @olskoolrich

    Yeah man they should have been in befor alot of cats that where honored no doubt! You tring to tell me MIssy or Teddy RIley or Master P had more impact on hip hop as Erick and Parrish? No way. No EPMD no Das Efx, Red Man,No Keith Murray and countless others but will forgive Erick for that whole Shadez of Lingo garbage.

  • @olskoolrich stop hatin on Teddy. Teddy has produced some classics in hip hop. do "How Ya Like Me Now"; "I Get the Job Done"; "We Got Our Own Thang" to name a few, ring a bell? there were numerous other. EPMD did make it in, deservably so.

  • the beanie siegel and bleek version was fire too

  • I agree, Rap has changed, No real flavor like back in the days.Used to hit all the clubs around nyc to hear thess groups flow.* Old school or No school* !!! real talk!1

  • Legends......true shit right here...rap sucks now.. lollipop rappers today have no talent...even a bum can make Cd today and it will be air out next week for dummies to listen...lets bring old school back!

  • LMAO...3:00...that Luther Vandross shit was hilarious!!!

  • Luv that dumfuk sounding vokal (yes im being nice!).

  • Awesome. So what you sayin'. Hail EPMD.

  • nice watching the greatest break of all time ...peace

  • Why did they have to have a machinegun in the video?

  • dis is my shit please believe it

  • you know this, what a classic tune

  • absolute bomb track timeless

  • i have this since years as ringtone

    at my phone (only the beat)

  • ucle murda version shits on disss

  • great song...but eric sermon looked suspect on dat luther vandross shit

  • im glade we wasn't callin every thing gay back then.. wackiest ishh we ever started doin...

  • It's better than all the crap that's out today - today this genre isn't even a genre of music...it's a stinking pile of gopher shit mixed with possum piss.

  • thats an insult to gophers!

  • This is the best Rap Dou of All-Time. EPMD is & will always remain Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop Honors is straight BUGGIN'. EPMD held Def Jam down when LL, Public Enemy, and everybody else wasn't selling. You can count EPMD to move units. And they stayed with the best DJ to scrtach an album. You Heard?!

  • There are some records that are born to sell!

  • I shall boycott the VH1 Hip Hop Honors until EPMD gets in!!!!

    No way in hell they not in yet!!!

    Who wit me?

  • ME!!!!!!!b

  • @olskoolrich Who gives a fuck about VH1?

  • THIS GOES HARD!!!

  • hip hop needs more lyrics and rhymes stop the hooks!!!

  • they did this before cube did jackin for beats they're ones he stole it from.

  • Timeless!!!!!!

  • i know this beat from Jackin for Beats by Cube LOL

  • wats that harmony sample in the hook?

  • Genius mixing.

  • Sampling is what made hip-hop what it is. This is a CLASSIC example of how real rap was and should be. Need I say more?

  • this is what real hip-hop sounds like! not like the shit you hear on the radio today!

  • Agree....one of the greatest beats EVER!!!

    Whoever said they not an EPMD fan...You crazy as shit!!!

  • B.T. Express - If It Don't Turn You On (You Oughta' Leave It Alone) (1974).

  • Yes, and also Funkedelic's "One Nation Under a Groove" at the chorus.

  • to the e the p the m the d

  • ahhhhh...such a classic jam...nothing better than the old skool jams...and i cannot say it enough...until rappers work more on their lyrics than the shitty production they will never be this good. Get rid of the synthesizers already and start using the old formula of storytelling when rapping...its not that hard to figure out!!!

  • Who killed JANE?????

  • The Smush Factor! The Ultimate ROBOT Killers! Big up EPMD forever!!!!!!!

  • Don't follow the sheep.

  • fuck the west coast, the east has and always will rule....big up green eyed bandit

  • I Rember Wene This Came Out Back In I Think It Was 88 Or 89 I Was 14

  • If this track is "dropped"at a proper Rn'b or Hip club anywhere in the world. It still gets people on the floor. Its the funk favour in the track, and the rapping which gets you. The combination between the two rappers is so good as well.

    A tribe called Quest, Gang Star and Epmd were so good at this time.

    Now that they don't release anymore we now know how good they truly were....

  • 30 DAYS LATER,THE LP WENT GOLD!!!

  • i have this ringtone...that was best of times back then .....priceless
