  • Got damn you, Just Blaze

  • Old School Rules!!1

  • The first rap group to sample these beats.

  • Crash Crew real Hip Hop Pioneer's..The Bronx, Home of real and Classic Hip Hop!

  • A is for apple J is for jack if you don't get down you must be wack!

  • Who originally used the melody to this song between Disco Dave or Grandmaster Flash? I know both of these songs came out in 1980

  • @Doobie1975 I'd put my money on Grandmaster Flash, this was the Crash Crew's first single and feels like a demo (probably an homage to Grandmaster Flash's track since he was already big at the time)

  • this song sure is way ahead of its time for 1980, love the early era of hip hop music

  • Rappers today can't hominize like old school rappers,just listen to g-man and nice and smooth and fource mc. remember they was called fource mc before they changed their name to fource md.

  • Remember this on the bus going to high school and off to sports games. Crash Crew had a tremendous run and great impact. It just psyched us up where ever we were. Go CC!

  • Im only one month old and i like this music!So everybody thumb me up because im one month old and i enjoy this music..........Nobody cares how old you are

  • I'm 15 and I like this Better than the music we have today. I would prefer grand master flash and the furious five than lil Wayne, I would prefer the sugarhill gang than T.I and I would rather prefer crash crew than any other new hip hop artists out Now.. Hip hop is not the same...

  • @navalwarfare ...yOU HAVE TO Add as a fav and then write and pause....till you get them...time consuming but you can do it...hopethathelps...

  • thasswassup..real hip hop.. take a listen and take a lesson

  • All rapper's today should have to be able to sing this song word for word before they can get a record deal. Then learn some cold crush songs.

  • Harlem Hip Hop!!!

  • Got tons of original old school joints from the early 80's for sale, hit me if interested.

  • Comment removed

  • From 75' to 85' no one touched the Bronx when it came down to HIP HOP we started it and that cannot be taken away from us...PATTERSON PROJECTS STAND UP !!!

  • Takes me back to when we'd get imported tunes at Domino Records in Pompey.  One of my first tunes - sweet!

  • Jigga sample, hectic!

  • lincoln projects, mike and dave and the crash crew skip and rob the boogie boys w/keith short the mace monsters devastating three w/barry bee b4 dougie fresh with dougie fresh the lincoln was legendary better recognize

  • Ah yea! The Bronx was on fire back in 1980, 1981, 1982! Anyone between 40 and 48 from NYC know what I'm talking about. Bee Bop, Hip Hop, Graffiti and Break-dancing was all ONE

  • @kimdayne --man you talkin the truth...but isnt funny how all the stuff we did back then other labled as getto. Now look...a culture of music, dance and art created by children of the african dispora, enjoyed by others. Wheather their copying, sampling or mimicing...they can never duplicate what we did back in the day... Im 45 man...from nyc so man so i feel you...I remember seeing the crash crew perform, at some armory in the bronxs

  • I wonder if Drake and Weezy know about this High Power Rap.

  • Look how simple RAP used to be. Pure, Classic, Talented MEN that rapped about simple things and was just as effective as selling songs and making people feel good. Nobody is disrepecting anyone - Nobody is being disrespected. I MISS those days like no tomorrow - everybody in the joint was boogying and they had to literally throw us out when the clubs closed.

  • Just pure fun.....classic!!!

  • J5 sample mid song :D :D

  • When this song was out. I had to be about nine or ten years old. This is still one of hottest jams. These new rappers don't have nothing on the ole. They probably don't know any of these records. Do your homework kids.....

  • This is the best rap ever !!! I love it. It's definately on my Zune player. I'm 45 and still remember most of the lyrics. People must trip when they see and hear this old lady (me) jammin' to this in my truck.

  • Comment removed

  • these are my boys from NYC

  • Man! i was 10 when this shit came out and i still listen to this muthafucka to this day

  • This has to be one of the all time best hip hop records>

  • @rootjam15 I have to agree with you

  • THE GOOD TIMES...IN HIP HOP...

  • this Joint just took me back to 1980 livin in Harlem on 136th. Moc neck sweaters, Lee suits, Talelord Jeans, BVD nylons, British Walkers, Bottles of Pink Champale...aaah the real Good ol Dayz of Hip-Hop

  • @elriheim67 Man you forgot Sweedish Knits, Puma's, Cazals, Kangols, Gold Name Plates and Belt Buckles and so on... Man you are so damn right... The Good Ol' Dayz!

    You got me with those Talelord Jeans and the BVD's! Fam, I had to respond.

    Chuck Nastee-

  • dont forget mark 5 sneakers, chams de baron and sergio valente's!!!nyc baby!!

  • one of my favorite hip hop cuts of alllllll tiiiiiime

  • ahh ..remind me of the days when we had big speaker in the parks blasting this kind of music till the cops stop it !!!!!!!!......

  • You mean SWV sounds like them... a lot of the songs that are playing on the radio stations have "borrowed" their beats from rap in the 70's and eighties.... It's not a competition folks... old school vs new school is dumb people trying to make something out of nothing... it's music... if you like it listen if not don't hate just turn it off...

  • c larock give this song 8 stars

  • Sounds a lil like SWV Anything remix

  • oh my gosh! where did you find this?!

  • Now this is da jam dat always made my butt jump & dance my butt off where ever I was... I miss Coney Island and all my peeps from C.I. I use to hangout with.

    BK in da house!!!!

    1LOVE, Giggles

  • Positive k and stezo both used girls,girls,girls before Jay-z.

  • No Hatin' Boiz an Gurlz...it's all about tha love, and raisin' people up, not hatin on people... like a bunch of crabs in a barrel, soon as one starts to make his way out, the rest of em bring him back down by tryin to climb up on top of him, instead of climbin on their own

  • this was the shit

  • lol this song is gay lol

    but back then klol

  • @chess202

    you don't know shit bout hip-hop. go back to listening the top50.

  • WOW!!!!!

    I forgot about the crash crew...my bad...I have to go to moms house and check the albums

  • at 5:31 jay z sampled the hook for girls, girls, girls

  • I'm lucky 2 have 2 copies.R.I.P. DJ DARRYL-CEE

  • REAL RAP!!! LIL WAYNE would be WINDED and wouldn't be able to PRONOUNCE half of the words if he tried this.

  • raw!!!

  • this is what you call "REAL HIP-HOP"...cats going in for 7 mins and more....no auto-tune,no corner boy dope slinging,no guns,

  • nice

  • history

  • its upsetting that this music is much better than rick ross, fat joe, 50 cent, and any other rapper of around the current area we are in, i wish i could re-invent this type of hip-hop but im young white male, and and its obvious that everyone likes the type of garbage music justin beiber and company make :(

  • So This is where ppl got that "And you say NYC" from....

  • Yup lol For ex Grand Puba's I LIKE IT. That's one there. lol

  • ..."and you say New York City" that line been repeated so many times.These guy's are legends.Only MC's to put out a single with mo side "B"!!!

  • Better for ya head...lol...that's that shit!!

  • i remember blasting this in Drew Hall at Howard University back in "79-'80. Room 312. They didn't know what was about to hit em!

  • " and you say New York City " yeah LL sampled that in his song. This song came out in 1979, and it's still bangin. When flash/furious five came out with "freedom" a few weeks later, that cause some beef between the two groups.

  • We were Young ,we had a little problem being afterwards on the same recording label. We were young yet it never went to fighting just doing our thing on stage. Furious are role models of this thing,yet we never disrespected each other and we held our own everytime. And it is always a honor to rock with Them.

  • Damn so much came out of this song...can't believe this is my first time hearing it..."and you say New York City"!

  • Its been around since the Beginning of the Culture..Yes

  • I can not believe i found this here !!! Thank You !!!

  • Thank You and all the other true Hip Hop Heads for continueing to Uplift the essence of Hip[ Hop!! Peace

  • what do they say at the beginin of the song sounds like "& u say new york city" but i dont think thats what dey be sayin LL & jay be sayin that too in their songs

  • "And you say New York City" is exactly what he says

  • well thanx man

  • You're welcome

  • When Rappers Delight first came out no body believed they woulsd let us record a Rap Record and so when it was first heard on the radio everybody thought it was live in the radio station and that is what sold their record for real! And so this one's intro sounding like the real record in the background no band and the way they intro the rap like a Jam was always introed ROCKED THE STREETS WHEN THIS FIRST CAME OUT!

  • is that "J.J." from Good Times on the far right. lmbao

  • REAL RAP!!!!!!!!

  • Darryl C RIP.

    The Crash Crew was sick. I remember watching them. Damn, I was young but loved this because they rocked off of "Freedom". I had a crush on EK Mike C.

  • I love this song, but in cast you didn't know people from NY know the the song sung by Gman and the end of the record was stolen from Rayvon and Johnny Wa Wa from the Maginficent Seven.

  • @nyaaron926 OG!

  • To McReggieReg135...you and your crew are TRUE HIP HOP PIONEERS AND LEGENDS..This is my favorite old school. I remember writing down all these lyrics and 30 years later I still remember them all...lol...such good memories..."You don't stop 'Cause I'm super cool and got a high potential necessary element and essential rockin' the house with the greatest of ease....." Your rhyme was ALWAYS my favorite part...super cool with a HIGH POTENTIAL...I luv it.....you are the best...

  • It was a Great time and a Honor to be a part of the Foundation Of HiP hOP Culture. I Pray and Know it will continue to be a Upliftment for people for alot of years to come. Thank You for posting Much Respect..Peace, Reggie Reg Of The Crash Crew

  • @mcreggiereg135

    oh shit!

    is that really you reggie reg?!

    damn nigga i grew up listenin to you and all the other HipHopPioneers.

    i remember my metal tapes wit all the live recordings, where was this recorded at...?

  • @mcreggiereg135  HE'S MC REGGGIE REG AND HE'S OUTTA SIGHT!!

  • @mcreggiereg135 yes sirrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

  • and then you hear G-man on the radio rappin!

  • Man, this is hard as Hell. Smiled all the way through the jam!!!

  • First heard this cut in 81 when I was in the Navy. Met a brother from NYC and he busted this out on his box during a party.  And that set it off! What a night! I hadn't heard it again until today and what wonderful memories came to my mind! That's the wonderful magic of music...it can really take you there! So I wanna give a heartfelt thanks to ALL the Old School Rappers who laid the foundation for Hip Hop...GM Flash, SugarHill, Crash Crew, Sequence, Funky 4 + 1 and all the rest! 1 LOVE!

  • BETTER FOR YA HEAD!!

  • Let the new school rappers listen and learn and be schooled by the OLD SCHool. Can't touch this son.....

  • I had this 12" back in the day.. it was THE jam.. Between this and Freedom by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five my childhood was unforgettable.. 7th grade changed my life.. THIS is TRUE old school for all those thinkin different.

  • WoooW! It puts a smile on my face to seeI'mnot the only one to remember those crazy,sexy,cool days of real Hip-Hop.For the record I knew Dave of Mike & Dave (they were the managers of Crash Crew and party promoters) because Dave's younger cousin was a kid named Buddy who DJ'ed himself in St. Nicholas Park.We used to lug the record crates out of Dave's house in Lincoln projects in Harlem to Randy's bingo spot or the Celebrity Club on125th so he'd let us in free!

  • this song is so hot yall we r here 2 show the world jjust who we are shocking females cause we r superstars

  • this vibration is real music nothing negative up lifting and positive they stoll our hiphop from us yall and used it against our people

  • The ending for this track, where he starts singing? Top 10 hip-hop moment for me.

  • 1981...I remember this record use to have 1 side... Classic...

  • What rappers used this beat and the lyrics

    Were calling out zodiac-signs?

  • That was Grand Master Flash & the Furious Five

  • No rapper should make a record until they can sing this song word for word. But not Soulja boy. I dont care if he can say it backwards.

  • i agree lol

  • I don't care if he can do this track in Latin.

    And backwards.

    While skating.

  • lol Thats for real

  • You should be banned from youtube for bringing up Soulja Boy's name out of nowhere. That fake ass nigga has nothing to do with real hip hop, stop talking about him.

  • i agree with you they dont know what it was about back in the 80s real hip hop

  • true dat these youngins nowadays don't know what real hip hop is about & if it wasn't for these cats & some other pioneers of real hip hop when wouldn't have had this Real Hip Hop to represent what Hip Hop is really all about.

    ONE LOVE,

    Giggles

  • ya man we have too school these new heads,,,,,,,,,peace my dude check out my new single called [do you really love] c larock youtube also breakloose from 1984 younger generation i wrote that song and perfom it.history is in the makings
