[dkinetik]

r man .... such amazing , clever different music , i loved every minute of these old tunes back in the day , doing u know what :) !!!!!

[mandycamden1]

It's Ragga Twins Step Out!

[sUNaRMYK]

"Ragga Twins Dey 'Bou", there sayin we ere...sight

[newyorkian2000]

My copy of reggae owes me money is shite, it's the quietest album ever made. The vinyl is about a millimetre thick.

[unclepops74]

We used to think it said "Ragga Twins Dey 'Bout" so tobitera's right on the money. It definitely doesn't say "Step out" n it's got fuck all to do with rabbits you tit!

[MrJuiceylucey]

@unclepops74 ..i think it was a joke mate.

[tobietera]

It's actually "Ragga Twins Deh Bout" - i asked them personally...

[Sleekdjs]

Dis is serious, so shut up...........

[jklash1987]

@eddiepjt Its "RAGGA TWINS DEHBOUT" Dehbout, not STEP OUT, Dehbout, a Jamaican Patois/West indie Creole way of saying about.

[arcevih]

Boredom

[AdriansDiary]

love this one, i grew up in Tottenham in the 80s/90s and my mate bought this on Vinyl from Just For The Beat in Tottenham High Street, love it :)

[N15man]

RAGGA TW|NS DEH BOUT!!!

Big Up All N15 N16 N17 N18 N4 E5 E8 E10 E17 massives!

[Boric78]

as for that Top Buzz..............disowned both those muppets.............never the same again

[Boric78]

grooverider..one of mine too. And Mickey finn - he is white but not as much as he thinks he is

[Boric78]

By the way I am disowning / disshoning / disswhoring / dissing both of you. Your both far too much of a bunch of fannies to be even discussing this tune to be related to me.

[Boric78]

forget about your dads. This rocked back in the day so much I remember it. And I am old enough to be you Grandfathers. And given my WWII merchant shipping activities I probably I am.

[sweetharmonyuk]

Thanks for the memorys :-D xx

[sweetharmonyuk]

[philipjohnhomewood]

@3500P5 lol

[philipjohnhomewood]

its ragga twinns step out!!!!

[nickshel]

To clear this up I'll quote Ragga Twins:

"We wanted to mix the ragga with the hardcore,we recorded tracks like SPLIFFHEAD with the hook RAGGA TWINS DEH BOUT,HARD DRUGS,HOOLIGAN 69,ILLEGAL GUNSHOT,JUGGLING & thats when Ragga Twins was born & that is the beginning of what we call JUNGLE/DRUMnBASS today."

[neen1970]

[lunny74]

@sezzabb2010 Shut Up & Dance - Lamborghini is the tune your looking for

[samscott101]

Still kills it 20 odd years later. All time classic not much comes close.

[ZaPpaul]

I always thought it was 'Ragga Twins Debut' just with a Jamaican slant to it.

As it was their debut single.

I like my idea and I'm sticking with it.

[ArchitekOGP]

Fuck I love the low bass on this tune. Kills it.

[brockneyc]

I bought this in 1990. To this day I thought it said 'Ragga Twins Demo'!

Now, I am caught well between Step Out and Deh Bout!!

Nice one tho ;)

[titch38]

[WhateverMrToughGuy]

@harrypagetflashman1 Ragga Twins step out

[djjoshb]

@harrypagetflashman1 its RAGGA TWINS STEP OUT your the plum lol

[harrypagetflashman1]

@djjoshb hey kid, see them flyers on your home page youre starching your little spidey kex over, i went to a good half of them raves....come back when you know what youre talking about...flash harry original 91 junglist.....

[djjoshb]

@harrypagetflashman1 first of all my dad was a well known dj called seduction, i play all his tunes and make up to date mixes to keep the vibe alive for the true ravers, what do u do u fuking troll?

[harrypagetflashman1]

@djjoshb hang on, am i sposed to wank myself raw now or later? and as for trolling, i werent the one started answering your comments back....

[djjoshb]

@harrypagetflashman1 how old r u? 40? grow up son, this is why the oldskool scene ended, cos there wer muppets like u that cant take a joke

[dodgydodds]

@djjoshb you owned him with the seduction comment. from an outsiders point of view,,,,, peace.

[paulnodpod]

me gonna dig ya granny upm8. nigga.

[KymBradshaw]

Grade-A classic from back in the day. Contrast and compare with Intelligent Hoodlum's 'Arrest The President', which Smiley and PJ raided heavily for the backbone of Spliffhead. :)

[3500P5]

I thought it was step out,only because of the album title. Remember Steve Jackson playing this on mornings on kiss...when they used to actually play real tunes,and not Katie fucking Perry.

[g7swr]

@3500P5 kiss is so dead now long live the kiss that was real dj's real music at the cutting edge not the blunt hyped durge they pump out now for whoever pays them the most, i have the same memories

[ClamChowderUK]

hahha, i bought "Reggae Owes Me Money" on lovely shiney CASETTE back in the day (so I could listen to it on my AIWA personal stereo!) an I thought it was "step out". Still a main tune tho, along with pretty much the entire album.

[HardcoreJungFunk]

deh bout, step out whatever.All i know is that this was and still is a mega tune!

[danielsanichiban]

@2009davy

@lloydo1993

it's Ragga Twins deh bout.

there's a compilation called Ragga Twins Step Out but that's not an album from ragga twins it's not even from shut up and dance, if the people that issued the comp thought that is the lyric then they made a mistake.

someone get flinty and deman up here to settle this.

[lloydo1993]

ragga twins STEP OUT, it was the name of their album

[yellowwcali]

YEAH YOU KNOW THIS WAS A LONDON PIRATE SPECIAL....../././///

FFFFFFFFFFFAAAAANNNNNNNTTTTTTT­TAAASSSYYYY FM KEEP IT LOCKED

[SuperJASONGRAHAM]

legand of a tune i remember stickin mi head in the speakers 2 this 1

[ThehypeUK]

[vegunited06]

it's ragga twins demo

[shaolindreams]

oh the memories xD

[paulperrin64]

mixed this classic tonight on the sl's.

[tubemech]

Seeing their 2008 compilation album is called 'Ragga Twins Step Out', I hazard a guess that they say 'Ragga Twins Step Out' on this tune.

Their finest tune as well.

[EmperorofCartoons]

It sounds like "Rape a tin steamboat.".

[BruvaBob]

Its ragga twin step out  people!!!

[thatgammon]

Open ya ears man

[BruvaBob]

i would love to know what you think it is....

ragga twins step out was all over the posters for da tune back in the day

i was djing back then so i had those lyrics in my left headphone every friday saturday night. also if ya have a copy play it on 33 and your'll understand it or play on normal 45rpm and take a gram of speed

[thatgammon]

@BruvaBob

I think it says ragga twins deh bout.

The poster you saw was for the whole album named step out. Why would they advertise step out on the poster for this tune when its called SPLIFFHEAD???????

This post has a 50:50 split on this one.

I'll take it all back if i'm wrong but there myspace page says deh bout on this tune so I'm just gonna have to trust my ears. You can keep the speed mate...

[robertpisarek]

1st its "ragga twins devout"

Then "ragga twins the house"

[vegunited06]

rRrRrRrRrRagga twins demo !!!

[qster]

Come somone help me out here.. in the background there's a siren noise, I remember an instrumental song with that in the background and a serious baseline.. no idea, when it was or who did it.. would love to track it down though

[dphillips180102]

i reckon "clubbed to death" is what your after.

[qster]

cheers for the reply but nope, was around the same time as spliffhead I think

[MrJacksonBollock]

@qster Did it have a ''Rukus leads the way'' sample? If it did, Its off one of the Kaoss theory tapes, Messiah tune I tink....

[jubulsuglee]

might it be this? Kicksquad - Soundclash (Champion Sound) (HYPER MIX) or an instrumental version of it at least. good luck.

[23stickygreenshit23]

matrix theme tune. goldeneye?

[liverpoolman35]

hey qster....try: friends of mattew-out here

[vkp660j]

Ragga Twins on Kool FM, smashed up the place.....

[gregtube88]

@thatgammon

Hehe - I've spent 20 years thinking this was 'Ragga Twins step out'... but on reflection I think you're actually right. Nice one - quality tune, anyways.

[flanj1]

HA HA HA i always thought it was "demote" and ive got the 12" ha ha ha but "demo" it is

[Fossy420]

why the subtitle on the video says "ragga twins step out" is beyond me....

how very wrong.

[iAzzaDee]

@Fossy420 i always thought it said "theyre bold"...lol

[ipposteve]
