I was a DJ back in the 80s and this was the song that got people on the dance floor to do their cabbage patch, running man or roger rabbit. Kinda scary that I remember that.
i met AfroRican at The Casa Camino Real in Los Angeles in 1985 along with Stacey Q., Copper, Mellow Man Ace, and all of N.W.A. my good friend and fellow DJ named DJ Bubba still has the 12" vinyl records we got signed from everyone there that weekend it was the shit this is still a cut and in my crates even today there is nothing like the real Hip Hop of that era today's music is such crap compared to the original stuff... long live Old School & KDAY...
To sum it all up - todays artist have no talent. No talent No talent - from Douche PAC - To Dorky Wayne - Its amazing how pea brain people idolize junk. Timeless classic's they will never create. Peace ...
There is nothing wrong with sampling music. The problem comes when most if not all of your popular songs come from other artists. It's the same issue when Gwen Stephani broke out on her own and almost all of her popular songs are other songs. It's not creative or unique. To quote philosopher Tom Lehrer "Plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize. Only be sure always to call it please "research"'. Or in this case call it tribute.
Everyone knows what sampling is you fools. I think people just are bummed about how all these songs get sampled and sold to an audience that thinks its totally new and original since they are too young to know any better.
@ILustFor84 first off..will i am makes beats not fergie.second...hip hop is about sampling from the past,you barely can find an r&b,pop or hip hop song without jackin something from the past. third... THIS VERY SONG WAS MADE FROM SAMPLING A "KRAFTWORK" SONG! fergie aint hiding nothing,if you you actually buy your music instead of stealing it,you might read that the credits are given. not a fan of fergie to much, but other than missy eliot,shes the only one bringing that old school flavor.
@702bully fergie and missy elliott both suck. While I'm at it so do the black eyed peas. I even thought they were corny when I first heard them in 98.
@702bully Nope. I am perfectly happy with what I have. I don't need millions to make music, I do it all myself. And I can sleep well at night, artistically. Material shit comes and goes.
@bunchof6 most hip hop artists will admit its to get paid!!! is there love for the art?,sure there is....but anyone says its all for love and no money,is full of shit! thats why we talk about them good or bad....and you're just........well idk nobody with a dream
@702bully Not sure what you're trying to say here. I mean don't get me wrong, if my shit started blowing up I would be happy about it, and I would be glad to be getting paid, but I am not going to craft my music specifically to get popular so I can gain material wealth. If it blows up it blows up, if it doesn't it doesn't. Either way it is going to be on my terms, and I am going to own it.
@bunchof6 i hear you,but the game is always shady! so much politics,thats how this monsters wheels keep it moving. all about the youth,whats popular,marketing and so on... you sound like a real hip hop head.most like you stay underground.nothing bad about that,but to make it you gotta put out corny bubble gum commercial bullcrap too...jus saying,but hey good luck to you!
@702bully If you want to sell millions of records (or you have to because a label owns your ass) you better make pop music. If you own all your shit, do what you want. When you go independent every dollar someone spends on your album goes straight into your pocket, so you don't have to sell a million albums. At $10 a pop, you make $100k off selling 10 thousand records. So the opportunity to do well is still there, and nobody can tell me what to do. Thanks for the well wishes bro.
@702bully well said, everyone samples ... even old hip hop artists did .... only thing is i hate when peeps dont know thier music and they act like it's something new, when it was rocked by many generations ago!
@702bully im glad some one has some sense about music ive read loads of comments for tunes and they jusy say oh such and such us shit theve got no talent because they sampled! i dont get it?

I wish everybody would chill. It's rare for musical artist to produce their own music so don't blame Fergie blame Will.I.Am. He produced the song and I bet Fergie didn't even know it was from another track. But hey guess what Fergalisicious was a hit and Will.I.Am is just doing what he knows best.
@iloveit201 im glad some one has some sense about music ive read loads of comments for tunes and they jusy say oh such and such us shit theve got no talent because they sampled! i dont get it?
@iloveit201 im glad some one has some sense about music ive read loads of comments for tunes and they jusy say oh such and such us shit theve got no talent because they sampled! i dont get it?
@iloveit201: haha wrong, sorry. Will.I.Am asked permission to use this and fergie definitely knew fergalicious was made from this song including Supersonic by J.J. Fad. Both of them would of been sued without permission, so clearly all you idiots don't know shit if you're trying to blame them for bringing back a song that died a little.
@Dennis060796 Fergie and will.i.am did get sued about the samples. Fergalicious samples a total of 7 different songs altogether. They got sued by JJ Fad for taking the beat off one of their songs called Eenie Meenie Beats, and taking the flow from their song called Supersonic, but the other 5 samples (including this one) were legal.
Back in tha Day we called this "The skate song" At skating rinks they would play this when they did fast skate. Mix ins of salt and pepa were also used.
Sampling is not bad. But how creatively bankrupt do you have to be to sample someone else's fucking samples? Seriously now. I guess Will.I.Am is too busy with his wonderful career to go crate digging.
Fergie is a no talent pop music idiot, and The Black Eyed Peas really sucked, unitl she joined them. Now they're just a pop band, with stupid music made for dorks to listen to.
Kraftwerk had a fairly strong influence on hip hop and started the birth of what became known as Electro, if you listen to their songs"Trans-Europe Express" and "Numbers". Both of those songs make up Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force's "Planet Rock". Miami Bass is basically Hip Hop and Electro mixed together. So it all comes full circle. Fuck Elvis and The Beatles; good pop music all comes from the Blues, R&B, Kraftwerk and Black Sabbath. That's the nucleus of everything around now.
Doesn't make it wrong either bub. Lil Wayne samples alot of his beats doesn't mean people like him anyless. Same with a lot of bands not just rap and pop but rock also
@austinfqt Ok we can agree on that. It does make it lame though & that isn't up for debate. Reading through these comments, I see I'm in the majority in that view.
this is the dope shit you hear being born in 1991. i remember when they used to play this song on the radio. its funny how you dont think anything of it when you hear it on the radio, then 14 years later, you hear it and your like, "omg i remember this" great feeling
@thizzney I don't see how you can reminisce about how you listened to this being born in 1991. If you were born in 91, you wouldn't be paying attention to music until at least age 6, so that's 97. This song came out in 1987, I was 14. It wasn't being played on the radio after 1988.
stfu! u people know nothing about music do u seriously think afroricans came out with this beat originally they sampled this shit from some 1 else aswell. Basically music 4 the last 20yrz has been based on sampling ..congatulations u just fucking learned something..now stop hating.
To all the idiots accusing Fergie of stealing, do you realize this song is made of a lot of samples, too? It samples James Brown and Kraftwerk, you ignorant dolts.
@sameromarasadmimi I feel that all these complaints about sampling are an ironic much ado about nothing. Hip-Hop has been sample based from the get-go. I remember being confused when hip-hop artists started complaing that R&B artists were sampling classic hip-hop tracks even as hip-hop artists themselves continued to sample classic R&B tracks. This song itself contains samples from: Kraftwerk's , James Brown, and Foxy.
@gilmourish I think a lot of the older music lovers feel the same way about sampling as people my age 30 (and older) about today's popular artists sampling the artists they grew up on. Today they just sample too much but you are right. Sampling has been going on in music forever... not just with sampling but covers as well. That's what a lot of the most popular artists of all time have done (Elvis being the biggest one of note) in covering other artists.
Fuckin fergie took 95% of this sample to make her stupid ass fuckin song "fergalicious" more like "stupidlicious" cuz i cant make my own beats and i have to borrow from others.... this is original right here...1987 a new beat known as Miami Bass. I am so mad that ppl think that this beat belongs to fergie and cant recognize, and give credit to the original.
Thanks to my uncle Dj Slice(Dj and producer for Afro Rican) for being the source of my inspiration. This track is a classic and everyone goes bananas when they play it in the clubs. Yeah,we were pretty pissed at hoe bad of a job Will I Am did with Fergalicious. He barely changed anything... se la vie
ummm....this is original babe! fergie took this sample to make her stupid song "fergalicious" cuz she doesnt have enough brain cells to make up her own beats...this song is from 1987, known as Miami Bass, which started at the very end of 1986, when old school rap was no longer known, and new old school rap was hittin the stage around 1987.
Most things are "stolen" ,"borrowed" ,"sampled" etc., One person creates and innovates while the rest just bite off of it . This was the jam back in the day , still pretty bad ass .
I remember hearing this when it first came out back in 88 or 87 on KMEL. Back when Cameron Paul was there. Just like "Boyz N The Hood" or "Planet Rock" It still hits.
Oh man... Cameron Paul???? That was my shit back in the day... KMEL was the super joint back then. Remember SummerJam? That shit was stupid foolish... LOL
All those giving this guy credit and bashing Fergie need to REALLY do some research and check out Kraftwerk...the fathers of techno from the late 70's and 80's. The best sample in this song was taken directly from a Kraftwerk's "It's more fun to compute"...
tis was the jam!!! I in the 3rd grade. I remember I had a b-day party an the DJ played the hell out of this u couldn't tell me nothing I was dancing my butt off lol
Now this is a blast from the past, I remember they had some hot back up dancers, Safari & Safaria they were hot - anyone seen them lately or have they fallen off w/ Afro Rican
this reminds me of when the neighborhoods used to be like a kick it and no one had to really worry about gettin shot or nothing and we'd just hang out on someone's porch and listen to this song on an old school boom box and watch our B Boy neighbors break it down...those were the 90's man.
Old School Rap Vol. 1....so freakin great, thanks for posting!

@austinfqt sampling is taking a small snippet and making another track out of it.. What she did is straight bitting.

@sameromarasadmimi I feel that all these complaints about sampling are an ironic much ado about nothing. Hip-Hop has been sample based from the get-go. I remember being confused when hip-hop artists started complaing that R&B artists were sampling classic hip-hop tracks even as hip-hop artists themselves continued to sample classic R&B tracks. This song itself contains samples from: Kraftwerk's , James Brown, and Foxy.

@gilmourish I think a lot of the older music lovers feel the same way about sampling as people my age 30 (and older) about today's popular artists sampling the artists they grew up on. Today they just sample too much but you are right. Sampling has been going on in music forever... not just with sampling but covers as well. That's what a lot of the most popular artists of all time have done (Elvis being the biggest one of note) in covering other artists.

Fuckin fergie took 95% of this sample to make her stupid ass fuckin song "fergalicious" more like "stupidlicious" cuz i cant make my own beats and i have to borrow from others.... this is original right here...1987 a new beat known as Miami Bass. I am so mad that ppl think that this beat belongs to fergie and cant recognize, and give credit to the original.

Thanks to my uncle Dj Slice(Dj and producer for Afro Rican) for being the source of my inspiration. This track is a classic and everyone goes bananas when they play it in the clubs. Yeah,we were pretty pissed at hoe bad of a job Will I Am did with Fergalicious. He barely changed anything... se la vie

peter300792 2 years ago 2
ummm....this is original babe! fergie took this sample to make her stupid song "fergalicious" cuz she doesnt have enough brain cells to make up her own beats...this song is from 1987, known as Miami Bass, which started at the very end of 1986, when old school rap was no longer known, and new old school rap was hittin the stage around 1987.

I don't like this 'remix' version - never did. I like the original 'Doggy Style' version from early '88. Still got my crates and records!!!!!

Most things are "stolen" ,"borrowed" ,"sampled" etc., One person creates and innovates while the rest just bite off of it . This was the jam back in the day , still pretty bad ass .

I remember hearing this when it first came out back in 88 or 87 on KMEL. Back when Cameron Paul was there. Just like "Boyz N The Hood" or "Planet Rock" It still hits.

All those giving this guy credit and bashing Fergie need to REALLY do some research and check out Kraftwerk...the fathers of techno from the late 70's and 80's. The best sample in this song was taken directly from a Kraftwerk's "It's more fun to compute"...

this reminds me of when the neighborhoods used to be like a kick it and no one had to really worry about gettin shot or nothing and we'd just hang out on someone's porch and listen to this song on an old school boom box and watch our B Boy neighbors break it down...those were the 90's man.
