Surf MC's - surf or die

[Hatafuriyamanokaiju]

So rad

[sasquatch13ja]

OMG, i haven't heard this since the fall of 1987 when i had recorded it from my radio. i never knew they made a video for this song, so i'm 24 years late in seeing it.

[KlilOurMoon]

this kind of style is used nowadays by many CALI artists..OMG SWAG

[nmivey]

What about "I can't get a tan"? I'm so cool but I can't get a tan - I feel like I am 12 again.

[zodiacchiller]

worst song ever made but I fucking love it

[Mssamattybeno]

soooo....what's happened to all the guys? I miss Ivan sooo much!

[streetmadrox]

Heavy bands like Leeway, Cro Mags and Motorhead got the Bone from Arista too. Really fucked up. Run-D.M.C. was the only group that was continued to be marketed by Arista. That's too bad. Those other groups were good too.

[streetmadrox]

This should be on compact disc. it was only on cassette and vinyl. And when Arista bought Profile...they never brought it back out. Not even other artists like Murphy's Law or Rob Base And D.J. EZ Rock. Dunno why they slept on that music. Its really good music.

[KMFCM]

oh man. . . . . . . i saw this once, and they never showed it again.

i'm glad I bloody found this.

[cindyao]

LOVE IT!! CLASSIC!!

[MrPj74]

this used to be my favorite song in the mid 80's . Surf mcs for ever .

[HCadrenaline]

This song and video totally has that 80's vibe to it

[texman00]

this video is funny as hell - there is no info on the net about these guys - they are probably working regular jobs now

[mrjimmyg]

The guy with the dark hair(don't know his name), doesn't he look like Mario Lopez?

[Eilicec]

RA RA RA RADICAL

[dabassplayason16]

[TrentCobain]

This is beautiful

[mwo1859]

[sbarudzija]

this real rap. not public enemy, screwed up click, tupac, biggie and all that garbage. this is the realest you can come to.

[cleboy09]

wtf? you cant be serious! lol

[sbarudzija]

name any rapper and they will lyrically murder them! haha you caught me. i was hoping someone would not get my sarcasim and be like your fucking stupid and get all internet gangster on me. haha. you know youtubers. i was just testing the waters. no but this shit is a joke and borderline racist

[MSISOAD]

LOL are you serious? You seem like really serious. As if this is like some deep s**t or something. Better than Biggie? I don't think so.

[sbarudzija]

Nah i was just bullshittin on that comment trying to see the responses all the internet gangsters would give me. not saying your one though. these fags aren't better than anybody...especially the folks i named like pac and the s.u.c.

[MSISOAD]

Cool.

[cchavez1]

one of the best good/bad things to come out of the 80's!

that's saying alot!

ironically...

LOL!!!!!

[Xetrof]

I never want to go back to whatever year is currently going on. Let me stay in the 1990s. Please.

[MsGrammarnazi]

This is great!

[marko31415927]

[HooDaBabba]

Freakin' flashback and a half!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

I dont think this was in the top 40. I have the 45 rpm, and some embarassing memories.... I think it was the record companys were making so much money that a surf/rap combo sounded like a good idea...1987!!!

[kalimambo]

lollllllllll

[xusnlt]

We surf past Magellan

We surf past Columbus

We surf around the world

And don't need a compass!!!

I don't care what anyone says, the Surf M.C.'s are/were bad ass!!! This song reminds me of the Skate or Die skull shirts in neon colors...

[jonas8]

Oh man, this brings back memories. Bad ones, mind you, but memories. I'm amazed someone actually has this! Thanks...

[titansflamehead9]

Probably the best non Phil Collins or Hall and Oates song ever created. The lead rapper's asshole used to clinch on the high notes the legend had it.

[anonymousent]

OMG ... i can't believe i actually purchased/played this back in tha day... Remember " Thats Cali For Ya " ?????...... I still got that horribly made tape around here somewhere ..... CLASSIC GARBAGE ...... If i ever wanna clear out a party / I'm gonna play this shit .... THANKS FOR POSTING !!!

[Alleykattt]

I have the ORIGINAL cd. AWESOME DUDE. TOTALLY AWESOME!!! I first saw the video on Sufer Magazine program on ESPN in the 80's. Gnarly efects.

[rlauwers]

I can paypal you for a copy of this track.

Please

[anonymousent]

I'm gonna load a better quality of this and others from the album .....

[heatseekersmusic]

Wow, I was there when these guys recorded in starlight sound. The record came out horrible and should have never been marketed as rap. The guys are actually real talented. Scott Roberts is One Drop Scott with over 45 album credits. Tony G is Tone Capone with lots of Platinum records He produced i got 5 on it one of the best hip hop jams of all time. Paul Xavier owns a media company specializing in music for film and video games. Ha mother fukin ha they made millions. Google and see!

[jerrysch]

So Tony G was "Cool G"

Scott Roberts was "Sidewalk"?

Paul Xavier I belive was I.V.E., right?

Then who was "Philly Phil"?

[heatseekersmusic]

Paul Xavier Sidewalk

Tony G Cool G

IVE Ivan Mumm

Philly Phil Phil Ketner

Rick Ross the former president of Delicious Vinyl was the original DJ

Scott Roberts was d-minus but left before the release to sign with Warner Brothers

[BCParris]

Shut up bitch. Back in the old days this ran all the time on MTV. Back when MTV showed videos.

[renagadecoupe]

i loved this dam song what ever happen to these people.

[jordanx867]

Nostalgic! You guys should do a re-make of the song to make a modern version. You're still hot Paul!

[lillieroc]

I just want you to know you all to known that you made my brothers day. He's one of the Surf N Mc's!!!!

He's going to try and get a better copy to post.

[xXxcheezwhizxXx]

I still have this tape in a box somewhere, I'll mail it back I want my $6.99 back lmao ;)

[madgopher9]

not that I want to keep it

[madgopher9]

I have the Surf MC's "Surf or Die" LP...

[spinfin]

Whatever happened to these guys.

[idogcow]

That's Cali for ya!

[jmsgen]

[GeminiChild27]

Thanks so much for posting this been looking for this song for a long time... good work!!!

[armhunter]

[antmck]

Loved the Video. To be 15 again! It was one of those deals I saw the video once. Went out and got the tape and lost it. Had some pretty cool tunes on it. Thanks for the video!

[GeminiChild27]

wow, it's been years since I've seen this thanks !

[liechty]

one of my favorite music videos

[hahnbird]

I only wish they did a video for "Rock That Beach" or "This Surf Is Live". Does anyone know what these guys are up to now?

[ravenmccloud]

I agree with the two previous comments. I recorded it and VHS died. Great job and mucho thanks.

[flottenheimer]

Watched, loved and recorded this incredible video from Yo! MTV Raps Europe, when it was aired in the 80s. Unfortunately my VHS recording died in the 90s and I've missed the Surf MC's ever since. Thanks cqz4oooo - I love this sh*t. Surf or die!

[TimmBland]

Excellent! Thanks for posting this vid. I haven't seen this clip in almost 20 years!
