Everlast (HOP) and Divine Styler were friends, and I think label mates as well. (Not absolutely sure though.) But Everlast does do a shout out to DS on a track and I'm sure "Jump Around" was, in a way, a respectful nod to their friendship and influence.
@BayanTheOne No doubt. you were right and wrong at the same time..LOL.. I had the same reaction when I first heard Jump Around. I started digging for breaks around 91 and that sample was one of the first ones I found.
@zimmerbahn I think, Everlast gives a shout out to DS on every HOP album! DS is in the "Fed Up( remix )" video featuring Guru of Gang Starr! Off and on in the video DS is wearing a mask.
@repo136 You're wrong...a lot of joints were sampled; even B4 1983. Sugar Hill sampled "Good Times" by CHIC in '79. Flash and the Furious Five sampled "Seven Minutes of Funk" in "Superappin'" in '80. You must be young. Should I go on? I was there, Dude!
@skronnyrotten I hope that you didn't get your info from the History Channel...they haven't even touched the base of what we know. That was for show. Anyway, where did you get that in Divine Styler's jam? I heard him building, but there was nothing Masonic in it. Not getting on u, just get ur facts right! I am of both sciences!
@skronnyrotten Freemasonry? LMFAO! No, my friend..not that! I have traveled to the east; and I was also a 5 Percenter..which is what Divine Styler is. Get your facts right!
This was when rap music was fun. There was room for EVERY style. New styles were always welcomed...some caught on and some faded, but creativity was the norm. Today's hip hop is controlled and lacks creativity
lick shot at all the graftin, place em on the staff then, unroll the scroll of a million facts,and touche la black defence, exploit the unknown, the vexed intense, subconcious trickery must dispense, before the Uprise, touch eyes, take a whiff of the scent....but Styler me,is planting trees,for the scheme of enlightning,properties undermined, underline for a request of surgery,you heard of me Divine M.D.,on the clergy of G.O.D.,would you believe we aint coloured, we originally......
his rhyme patterns are crazy, no one else ever rhymed like Divine, him and Brother J are 2 of my favourite MC's ever cos they so original....CLASSIC ALBUM
ice t made a BOLD move by helping this artist get signed but it paid off real well this is my favorite albulm out of the afrocentric area because of its realnessDivine Styler is a convert to Islam; he influenced the decision of Everlast to become a Muslim. Many of the songs on Spiral Walls Containing Autums of Light are songs of praise to Allah, and the 1999 song "Make it Plain" (recorded for the Funky Precedent compilation)
@coldrockdaspot Did Divine Styler get a lot of airplay and videoplay back in 89 when he dropped this album?? A couple of months ago I just found out about Divine, and I'm a hardcore hip hop head, but when he dropped this I was probably about 4 years old, so I don't remember him that much. But i check some stuff out from word power and he's definitely a dope mc. I wish he was a able to blow up more, but hey I guess that's how things work sometime in this industry.
@Thebeewise459 I live in Wellington,New Zealand and heard about Divine Styler because I was a big fan of Ice-T and Rhyme Syndicate and I remember buying this record (which I still have on vinyl) because of that association, down here we didn't get a great deal of rap videos, but I know that none of Divine's ever screened down here, Word Power is a great album, but his other material is dope too.
@coldrockdaspot Everlast shouts him out all the time, he was down with Rhyme Syndicate too, Ice had a posse cut on the Iceberg album called "what you wanna do(party)" i cant remember if Divine was on it though...but Ev was...
Pardon me butting in. If I recall correctly, in NYC, this was the only song and video that was really pushed from this album. It had a good buzz, but didn't take off. Sony seemed to want to push it as a Daisy Age/De La-type thing, but it was on a different vibe.
I love everything about this era, Divine Styler's lyrics are prophetic, the video unconventional and trippy, the clothes, hippy brothers with silky paisley shirts and baggy pants (not showing your ass like them clowns do now), cracking dreads, and cool as TM step dancing....these brothers had it going on....
Won't stop till I drop science to the black people"
Classic. The Scheme Team and Geronimo (the dance cannibal) of LONS is the reason I got into dancing. Styler, Zev Luv X, Q-Tip lyrically were taking it back then on the abstract. Ofcoarse Pos & Tru also.
The dancing, the clothes, the music was a heavy movement in L.A. / San Diego. They labled us "House Dancers" (not dat Maddona Vogue crap). Think more like "The Soul Brothers" (Dej Jef's dancers). Great time in hip hop.
I was looking for this song for SUCH A LONG TIME. Something just told me to check You Tube and here it is. LOL. My friend and I use that phrase a lot, "Do The Flambookie". LMAO. Wow. Wait till I tell him I found this joint. MAAAAAAN, OLD SCHOOL! I remember me and my boys when we were kids, dancing to this song. These guys and Poor Righteous Teachers.
This reminds me of all the brothers (not speaking about race) that got their ass's down to the local halls and were reppin with the stone wash genes and paisley shirts not caring what the gangbangers thought back in the day. We would put in work on the dance floor and watch all the suckers hate and walk out with all the fly girllies. Peace to the Scheme team, Nerds in Effect , Devotion to Motion, and Reality... (Samerika Hall 87)
@slanguage1 Yo man...I remember those days...we used to rep it in Carson...One on One dancers/Southside Troopers....I remember Charles when he used to dance with the Unpredicatables...
@slanguage1 I used to be from 1 on 1 dancers from Carson. Southside Troopers.....we used to battle all of those cats...haha..I used to groove with Charles before he got in with the soul brothers and divine stylers camp...he used to rock with the Unpredictables...
We ain't really call it nothing, this was a time when hip hop and house crossed paths constantly, so a lot of what applied to hip hop also applied to house.
You could easily find these types of cats battling in the house clubs. that was our whole style...ragamuffin, if you absolutely HAVE to call it somethin...baggy raggedy jeans, paisley rayon shirts, scarfs, dreds, John Fluevogs or Doc Martins...rayon suits with hoodies built in....lol
on the straight tho why always the light skin brothers (lord jamar,afrika babaybam,farrakhan) the most pro-black, like they ashamed and shit? got sumpthin to prove?
divine styler was the illest mc of the that time.... that scheme team shit raised a lot young brothers such as myself...... to put it plainly simple divine styler and the "good life" family tree started real west coast hip hop. period! Peace and Blessings Kalani... c-arson stand up!
ice t took a bold step with signing this artist but it paid off i am 40 years old and i have the tape cd and ALBULM this was my favorite of the aficiacentric movement this was ahead of its time too divine is still making music as well Word POWER will take out ALOT of these niggas thats ot now,, you can feel the realist of this brother i also credit him for the first spoken word on rap as well says uzipolo-king of decatur
this track was abstract house dancin type hip hop at it's finest, even funkier and jazzier than q-tip or a tribe called quest and more abstract than anything the great house dancin tracks def jeff put out although they were all great.
if anyone has the gall to dis this, they don't know what the FUCK they're talking about. if u don't remember this, just chill & learn & appreciate... pure golden era flave... timeless classic !!!
Not really, remember Q-Tip was around in 1988 on The Jungle Brother's Straight Out the Jungle. This came out in 1989. But he wasn't a Q-Tip wannabe like dude said.
woooooooooooooooooooo!!!! yessir!!!!! see me in the club still getting down like these brothas....word! HIP HOP LIVES!!!!! THRUS US ALL! HIP HOP LIVES!!!
Yo, this was the shit right here.. And you know what's so dope about this cut? It goes to show how lyrics can hold a track DOWN.. There wasn't shit but the drums rocking during the verses.. Somebody tell these fools out here about SKILLS son!
You really took that literally when he said: "Fella's can we still do it?". I wanna know how in the world could you concentrate with that piercing lick this song has? Man, that what I call determination and drive. And I do find your comment disrespectful...perv. (Ha,ha)
yawl givin it up for styler but NOT the SCHEME TEAM? HIS DANCERS? i remember speaking to charlie b from back in the day at the water the bush (later 'united nations)......dude was tight.
the funny thing is we didnt call it anything, we just didnt want to dress like the "gang bangers". We felt it was Hip Hop. I think some may have called it "house" or "house-er" because of the Hip Hop house dancers back then
where do i start with divine styler ahead of his time very influencal when he moved to la early 87 and he had one of the freshest dance crews in la called THE SCHEME TEAM RIP KALANI SOME OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE DANCERS I HAVE EVER SEEN STILL TIL THIS DAY DIVINE ALSO HAD A HEAVY INFLUENCE ON DEF JEF WHO WAS ALSO FROM NEW YORK AND MOVED TO LA AND HE ALSO HAD THE WORLD FAMOUS SOUL BROTHERS CRAIG E,V-LUV AND LEGEND THESE 2 CREWS SINGLE HANDLED INFLUENCED THE WHOLE WEST COAST AND THE WORLD
I totally agree with you Pokkey, if it wasn't for great music like this and dance crews like the Scheme Team & Soul Brothers I probably wouldn't be doing the things I love today which is designing and still enjoying music and getting my soul boogie on! A great inspiration for many just listen to the lyrics son. Word power.
back then I thought he was trying to look like the dudes in De La Soul, but then that's when some were copying or emulating them and A Tribe Called Quest
Oh word! I remember this cut but never knew this was Divine Styler! Aint this the same guy who had a song where he says, "Beware the all-seeing retina....written out....gamma tech".
You're an idiot. Don't keep trying cuz you'll just keep on sounded dumber and dumber. First of all. "eboy" wtf? Second of all. You can say it either way. Breakdance Song. Or Bboy Song. Flipping Dumbass.
Wow, this is coming from a little bitch that has no videos. You know what? Lets go. Put up a video of you breakdancing, and I'll put up a video of me breakdancing. Then we'll decide who's better. You have no idea who you're talking too. I'm trained by Pete Nasty and Chemisis themself. Why don't you back down and shut the hell up.
No you flipping dumbass. I have my video already. Why should I upload it when clearly you don't have yours? Where's my vid? On my destop. Where's your vid?

This was a great album, and Divinde styler definitely had his own unique persona and flow. My favorite track was "koexistinuforia".

You really took that literally when he said: "Fella's can we still do it?". I wanna know how in the world could you concentrate with that piercing lick this song has? Man, that what I call determination and drive. And I do find your comment disrespectful...perv. (Ha,ha)

what was that style called?
alvanson 2 years ago
the funny thing is we didnt call it anything, we just didnt want to dress like the "gang bangers". We felt it was Hip Hop. I think some may have called it "house" or "house-er" because of the Hip Hop house dancers back then

where do i start with divine styler ahead of his time very influencal when he moved to la early 87 and he had one of the freshest dance crews in la called THE SCHEME TEAM RIP KALANI SOME OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE DANCERS I HAVE EVER SEEN STILL TIL THIS DAY DIVINE ALSO HAD A HEAVY INFLUENCE ON DEF JEF WHO WAS ALSO FROM NEW YORK AND MOVED TO LA AND HE ALSO HAD THE WORLD FAMOUS SOUL BROTHERS CRAIG E,V-LUV AND LEGEND THESE 2 CREWS SINGLE HANDLED INFLUENCED THE WHOLE WEST COAST AND THE WORLD

I totally agree with you Pokkey, if it wasn't for great music like this and dance crews like the Scheme Team & Soul Brothers I probably wouldn't be doing the things I love today which is designing and still enjoying music and getting my soul boogie on! A great inspiration for many just listen to the lyrics son. Word power.
