Damn this song takes me back to High School of Art and Design. Everyday afterschool watching Ralph McDaniels on Video Music Box. With my butter crunch cookies or dunkin stix with ice cold milk. Damn thats when I was still a lil innocent.
this song came out in 88, I was in the navy as a Hospital Corps student, I miss those days. You could go to the clubs and house parties without fear. My kids could never know what that's like.
I remember djing at KJLU in Jefferson City and having a rap slow song hour on my Quiet Storm! I played this rap love song classic and phones just lit up! You know I couldn't disappoint, so I followed it up with Heavy D with"Don't You Know"! Everyone talks about "I Need Love" all the time, but I talk about this or either "Fairytale Lover"! I know you smiling, go ahead and think back and smile! PEace!
Hip hop will never be this pure agian...this is when the artist had control of they music but utfo of hip hop gods...and i wish i had this instruemental to smash these youngin's in the head wit sum classic raps and beats
the sweatsuits are awesome.... straight up hip hop 80s!.... i wish i had one of those suits the UTFO boys were wearing in this vid.....and this jam is awesome too, the 808 Is KICKIN'!
That's it!!! I'm fed up with today's idea of Hip-Hop. I'm going out today and and buy 14k gold rope chain, some fish head (shell top) adidas, a kangol and a troop sweatsuit and force the 80's back in style! Anyone care to join me?
Looks like Kangol Kid was one of the last brothers on the East coast that didn't want to part ways with his Jheri Curl; he would've fit right in out here on the West coast back then (LOL). Classic song though; takes me back to middle school.
Kangol with the jeri curl..lol...I loved UTFO..Full Force on production...along with Lisa Lisa and Cult jam as well as Real Roxxxane...they were holding it down...these guys could sing too.
i wanted the girl with the white skirt so bad it was stupid damn im gettin old what happend to us why are we so hard all the damn time even gansta love?
This brings back so many memories... I must have listened to this song and the "Lethal" album all year long. They were underrated, but yet they also shot themselves in the foot by not focusing more on hip-hop. They ventured too much into R&B.
G Rap was telling street stories while maintaining artistic integrity unlike todays rappers that come off like, "Black people sell drugs, black people kill each other, Bitch shake yo ass. Wack ass lyrics like that kill the credibility of the song. Oh yeah... soulja boy......lol
recently saw doc ice preform wth his brother jahlil of whodini down in atlanta...man he has'nt aged and he killed it with all the old school dances....the whop...the snake...the rocking chair....the last year of hip hop for me before it started becoming industry and sold out to thuggery
The beat comes from Grace Jones-"Slave to The Rhythm" album (1985) I believe the specific track on the album is "Don't Cry--It's Only the Rhythm". Don't specificly quote me on the cut; but I know it's the album because I have the cassette.
too all young people this is how we used to get down pure-fun till the sun came up be-clear hip-hop was young but it was all ours no-homo somebody pleas bring it back home
Im about to cry...Life was easy,nothing but going to school,sneaking out the house,eating peanut butter,and getting ya ass whooped..Parents was still together..hahaha!
I remember this song from when it first came out and I think it still sounds good today.
