Damn this where Case "Touch Me Tease Me" beat came from!

[MrStreetjams]

damm im from the west coast and i remember hearing the mini nissan low rider trucks bumpin this dope ass beats as they drove by. good old days

[SnowyCapone]

im not saying real rappers dont write lyrics. what im saying is that a real rapper can write, freestyle and go off the top and make a song completely going off the top without writing any lyrics and make a banger. thats what rapping is is flowing to the beat. so its all right to write sometimes but if you cant make a song completely going off the top then your not a pro rapper. a pro can flow and make a whole album without writing and it usually ends up better than writing.

[SnowyCapone]

it just means he is freestyling..real rap and hip hop is freestyling going off the top. thats what it means. it means he created the flow of going off the top.

[SnowyCapone]

p for the People who cant understand, how one homeboy became a man, s for the way we Scream and Shout, 1 by 1 im Knockin out, k for the way my dj Kuttin, other mc's man they aint sayin nothin...rockin on til the break of dawn, make more money anytime its on

[CAPOJONES101]

Dis dat shit dam I wish I could to back the 80s to bad I was bron in the midd90s

[ajshirey76]

@CAPOJONES101 It was fun, I grew up then. It was like punk rock and hiphop were brother and sister.

[GrumpyOldAssFart]

@ajshirey76

or at least cousins.

back then break dancers (and wannabe break dancers) practically wore the same things especially the spiked belts and bracelets.

[thisgame2]

so sick i jam this in the car all the time, i love blasting oldies in 2011, vanilla ice gets very girl dancing everytime

[dymonhell1]

I heard this song on Planet Rock: Hip hop the impact on the drugs and hip hop in the 80s

[ajshirey76]

@dymonhell1 I heard this song when I dubbed off power 99 in 1985.

[GrumpyOldAssFart]

@dymonhell1

I'm watching it right now.

It sucks that of all the rap songs I heard in the past (no I'm not some new fan or a pop rap listener in fact my elder brother was a DJ) I never heard of this.

Makes me sad

[sp00kym0nkey]

Wow - I finally found the back-beat used in Siouxsie & the Banshees, "Kiss Them For Me"

[DJRckwl]

lol. Schoolly is misspelled on the record label at top.

Took nuttin' away from this jam though.....

[ampecsu]

Planet Rock.

[DJRckwl]

[essy05]

i'll admit, i just found out this was by schoolly d from vh1's latest program about crack rock, but like everyone, always heard it sampled from some other songs. i heard it on: case "touch me"/crazy town "revolving door"/etc. now mary j. blidge. i always loved this beat, hands down one of the best "perfect beat" lol. ATHF!!! :]

[50derrick50]

@essy05 im watchin that show right now,on vh1

[ampecsu]

@50derrick50 me too.

[djsnatchandgrab]

Ice T borrowed (stole) this sound for 6 in the morning. So did Easy E. I always thought he was the first Gangsta rapper, but nobody called it gangsta rap until NWA came out. I still have this 12 inch..he did all of the art on all of his covers.

[WorldWatcher9]

This was my theme Music ...This was ME Bra

12" woofers Blowin up da Block

[nirvana2297]

thumbs up for philly

[bmrcutiepie]

So Kiss Them For Me by Siouxsie & the Banshees sampled this? you learn something new every day

[WorldWatcher9]

@bmrcutiepie damn just realized that myself

[TimTimGorilla310]

S for the way you scream and shout

One by one I'm knocking you out!

[Joyvid]

west philly of course

[advantage73]

Excellent! ;-)

[banklikefrankwhite1]

[madslasher18]

[Sanvorae]

[smith3362]

[fdsaks]

[fdsaks]

I played this until my "tape" broke. lol Then I would get some scotch tape hook it up and keep going hard. lol

[DrNinethousand]

is the beat from Kiss Them For Me, or vice-versa?.

[mutedisease]

@DrNinethousand ...Siouxie and The Banshees sampled this beat. This guy is the original creator.

[Iridium242]

@DrNinethousand Vise versa. Kiss them for me came out before this.. but its still a dope beat.

[dlarremore]

@Iridium242 uh yeah....no

[cabalofdemons]

Where it all began. Straight gangsta

[zahirboss1]

this is my shit

[Onslow74]

One of the first tunes that got me into hip hop. Cheers Park Side...

[lukejeter7]

big sampled this and now dj khalgay did

[twosmooth2009]

niggas back then wasnt rappin about shit like this, they was only rappin about where they was from, what kind of sneakers they wore, and how fly they dj was. SCHOOLLY D brought the streets to wax and thats my word ....CASE CLOSED.

[insanemacbeth]

@twosmooth2009: well, i would say that the first 'gangster' rappers were ICE T. SCHOOLY D., and JUST ICE. however, KRS-ONE touched on street issues to, on "CRIMINAL MINDED'; RAKIM spoke of being a stick-up kid, on'PAID IN FULL'...and KOOL G. RAP really spoke about the road/ streets with graphic detail, cadences, etc...on 'ROAD TO THE RICHES'. for me, it's about KOOL G. RAP!

[twosmooth2009]

@insanemacbeth tru, but schooly d had a cut called saturday night that was out about a year and a half before this and it sounded like your local neighbor hood gang just got a record deal. he was the first to me that sounded like a gangbanger on wax. ice t would later go on to say that he adopted schooly d's style of rap .

[NotoriousSLUG]

Thumbs up If you Started Groving to the beat after you pressed play.

[MrRegg69]

I guess there's 1 hater in every bunch.

[sinetravel]

You can't improve on this it's raw and original. Shit went down hill from here on as I'm concerned.

[disasterhead]

thumbs up if you noticed that the vinyl is gettin bigger. lol

[lollers]

@disasterhead hahahhhahaa LOOOOL

[charmcity401]

im 43...philly always rep'ed...2hours from it...3.5 from the rotten,40mins from Obama niggas...Bmore runs the web...

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@charmcity401 but not the nfl...they'll always be our little sister

[InterpolFL]

God.... first gangsta rap song or not, it is bad, thankfully people improved on this.

[HanzSygnal]

@InterpolFL BULLSHIT< THIS IS HOTT

[beowulven]

@InterpolFL

I guess you had to be there.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@beowulven hell no...this is a little before my time,  (not before i was born, but before i started discovering good music) first hip hop album i had owned was n.w.a's straight outta compton when i was around 9. but i can not be a douche, and look at it for what it was at the time (pioneering) and enjoy it, that guy is just a douche

[jerudoriginal91]

@InterpolFL By today's standards it sounds outdated, it did not age well at all, but for the time when it was made, it's not bad

[dray3000]

ParkSide Killers

[Haleyo92]

Siouxsie and the Banshee's song "Kiss Them for Me" samples this song.

[DJRckwl]

Wow, I finally found this after some serious detective work. Couldn't think of Schooly D. Nice to finally hear that classic rapid-fire hi-hat beat........ "Boom....t--t--t--t--t--t--t--­t--t"

[boombap28]

Schoolly rapped and controlled the 909 simultaneously via a foot pedal. It was also recorded in a classical music recording studio with old reverb plates. It was done in one take and very loosely rehearsed. Don't remember where I read this.

[villiemack]

geah

[Kaniki80]

This sample was used later on in Chapterhouse's 1991 song "Pearl".

[AntonielEllis2010]

@Kaniki80 And biggie smalls - BIG INTERCLUDE

[bigjaybarr9]

so wrong six inthe morning camr ou 2yrs before psk

[Triton88keys]

This is the first gangsta rap song ever made!!Then Ice-T copied it & made 6 in the morning..FACT

keyz-

[Svperstarr]

Kiss them for me is a better song tho

[bridson10ak]

dunno how i got here but its shit!! song is caked in reverb.awfull

[edweens]

[bigbrothabruno]

'K' is for the way my djs kuttin!! Schooly D is layin it down but hid DJ is kuttin and scratchin like krazy especially from 5:30 till the end!!

[benympls]

THE GOD FATHER OF GANGSTER RAP!

FACT!

its funny how he was also sayin "Homie" & Homeboy before LA

Hahahahaha!

[erohDGC]

THE LABEL IS WRITTEN IN FUCKIN BEROL PEN. THAT IS HIP-HOP.

[detroitMC313]

@erohDGC Don't COPY his song. Put it this way, I'm an MC, say I make a song that is Great and becomes an instant classic... I DO NOT want somebody taking the whole fucking song 20 years from now, re-spittin' it and changes 5 words from the whole verse. That shit is madddd disrespectful. ALSO, keep in mind, if some young kidd is trying to get into the biggie/pac/nas/big L era and don't know about this old 80's shit he's gonna think Biggie though of the song, then hear this and realize da truth

[uralumkinman]

this song is drowned with reverb and it sounds so good.. like a stadium blasting this out.

[OneOfThePartyPeople]

uh, this is still my favorite hip hop old school song. i can make beats like this too

:D

[GoatV8]

It's weird hearing that all you older people listened to him and us younger people today listen to him still.

[lanicolet]

this my jam, used to have da cassette tape. all da way live 85'

[theaznlvr]

@lanicolet

i have the 12" screw your cssette

[14408395239]

@lanicolet i own am i black enough for you on cassette. i just had to hear it and it was the cheapest copy of the out of print album i could find. luckily for me it was still sealed so it sounds like a mint!

[selfresonator]

word the fuck up!!!!real philly shit

[GhEttOEthi0pianAnGel]

♥Whats it mean *LOL*♥

[nicknameSGB]

This sound is the brick that Jay Zee built his house on!

[EatLibertyCaps]

425 represent

[detroitMC313]

Wow.... Take one point away from Biggie... I cKan't belive he bit this whole song. That's some wack shit.

[BanginOnTheStreets]

@detroitMC313 man if people only really knew about biggie bro most o hs shit was ghost written by nas

[detroitMC313]

@BanginOnTheStreets Really?? Are you serious?? I never heard anyone say that... Did you read that on a website or something?? 

[BanginOnTheStreets]

@detroitMC313 im dead serious and yes i did hear that on the internet on a video i watched with ice-t talkin about the creation of gangsta rap look it up on here and youll find it no jokes homie REAL TALK IN-LIFE

[MrMessyb]

@detroitMC313 Ur very dumb. Biggie was a rap fan and probably did it as salute to Schoolly D. It was only an interlude on biggies album, not even a whole song. And he even did it on the same beat. Rappers do it all the time and then change the lyrics up. They do it as tributes or even to use as diss records. For example, Nicki Minaj has done a lot of her own versions of Biggie's songsn which shows it still happens today

[BKaneNp8]

@detroitMC313 i dont think BIG bit it, it was more of a paying homage type thing, but he could have shouted Schooly D out

[thegarbeen]

@detroitMC313 I am always interested in what goes through people like yourselfs brain.

[detroitMC313]

@thegarbeen You should be interested in people like myself and our minds... You can learn a lot from us. lol. Dude this is what I'm saying... You see how Biggie is SOOO GREAT and his album is SOOO one of the best albums. Why would he waste ONE WHOLE TRACK to make the exact same song that was already made?? That shit's retarded. Then people like you say, "Bro, he's just giving him props" or whatever y'all wanna say. Alright, then give him a shout out in a track and show love. (continued)

[malodorous1994]

That is some sick record spinnin bro.

[DjVinylFrontier]

Schooly-D....FIRST GANGSTA RAPPER??

[Harlemheat69]

One of the BEST tracks EVER! This was true storytelling and a simple hit flow. I will never forget this track, ever! "People always say what the hell does that mean.." BIG even used this on his 2nd CD cause it was soooo fiyahhh!!!!!

[ayjay36]

My brother was a big fan of this song, may he rest in peace. I miss you Todd. 11-23-60 to 03-20-07.

[DaxxXyrax]

[muggledon1]

"Rockin on to the break of dawn, I make cold money when the time is on!"

[boombap28]

[karey26]

PSK was also sampled by De La Soul on their song Brakes from Stakes is High album.

[Refrescospepito]

Siouxsie and the Banshees used the backin' track of this theme as a backgraound for their song "Kiss them for me".

[burningxdimx]

@Refrescospepito So did Chapter House with the song Pearl

[dvargashell]

[sk8guy09]

BLASPHEMY

[solidrecording2012]

[ominousg2]

Might be my favorite Schoolly D song,

She got me to the crib, she laid me on the bed

I fucked her from my toes to the top of my head

I finally realized the girl was a whore

Gave her ten dollars, she asked me for some more

[soulshower]

Anybody else notice they spelled it 'Scholly D' on top of the label, but then correctly every place else? LOL

[tallcoolbeauty]

This is the joint - takes me back to my high school days, for real!!!! What a good time we had!!

[TheMrt567]

schoolly d should be on vevo

[Bamfism]

IMO one of the all-time DOPEST Hip Hop joints....

[cocteautwinsfan]

I hate rap with a passion that is literally canyon deep. BUT I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG!!!! There is nothing like it... EVER. Thank you so much for posting this, KingPivit!!

[gravity5]

[WARRIORPARK]

psk makin that green, man, psk!

[LosAngelesRaiders]

This is one sick old-school tune, bangin'

Thanks for putting it up.

[jamiirali1]

when i moved to cali in 86 and heard ice-t's six inthe morning i was like he jacked that style from schooly-d! they never heard of him!!of course back then cali heads got n.y. rap months after it was played out if they got ot at all. also listen to 357s song(they only had a few ) and you can hear this style in their lyrical pattern.

[i000110001100]

@jamiirali1 according to wikipedia ice-t even admitted that he bit off schoolly. but it's pretty obvious so it kinda goes w/o saying whether he admits it or not. lol

[jamiirali1]

@i000110001100 you would be surprised how many heads would still disagree even if you played the song in front of them. actually i would be flattered if somebody took my style.

[i000110001100]

@jamiirali1 maybe so. but if the dude that ripped my style went on to make millions of dollars while i faded into obscurity i'd be a little pissed.

[jamiirali1]

@i000110001100 hell yeah i would be too but ice came out with his record a year after schooly's but if schooly wanted to protest he missed his shot.

[i000110001100]

guy does aqua teen hunger force now.

seems more rap than hip hop though. soulja boy seems more old school, classic hip hop (at least crak dat is). when the mc was second to the dj and was only there to hype the crowd. that's basically what he does as much as purist hate him, he's kinda pure mc. i need someone 40 plus to correct me if i'm wrong

[tresoul]

Thanks, first record set i got with my Gemini's. Brings me back

[HCadrenaline]

I love the old school scratching sound in the intro

[muggledon1]

@HCadrenaline HARD!!!!!

[155DJJ]

ahhhhh  yeah!!!!

[altaariq]

I still got this on 12' lol

[natefullahate]

take me back folks to when rapp was real.

[slim4real]

yo i was in the third or fourth grade when this dropped...lol

i miss real dj's lmao. this is somethin hot!!
