magic carpet was the bootleg copy that downstairs records sold in nyc...it had the sesame street break on the flip side....the original version appears on greedy records
this song is such a classic. I remember standing in the jams back in in the days in the bronx in the 70's on university ave & 176st J.H.S. 83 school yard.
Three Classics ... Catch a Groove *Juice*, Last Night Changed it All(Telephone Jam) *Esta Williams*, I Cant Stop*Cerone 4*(not to sure on the producer...). But those are classics.
This is one of the grand daddys of hip-hop right here. I caught so much wreck off this at parties when I through it on. I had a whole routine for how I brought the music parts in and the break is just dead on...it's that moment and sound that says THIS IS IT. This is when you need to react. The song was hardly ever played unless I was building to the break lol. Fantastic drum sounds...I've never heard any producers use them...but I WILL! ;)
THANK YOU....I LUV NYC....you heard it everywhere Afrika Bambatta v Disco King Mario jhs 123, Bronx River Community Center, Bronxdale, or Flash at the PAL, or DJ Breakout and Baron uptown at the Valley.....or the T-Connection, or The Disco Fever...too many to name NYC was a different place
Ronnie Greene would bring out the music wether it was in Taft,Foster, Wagner, 1199,Jefferson,Schomburg,MT.Morris, or Lincoln, we would be getting down. Being from Harlem I didnt have the Bronx expierence but everybody came down to get the money... hence Money Making Mannhattan!!! We would always shoot uptown to the parties an get the tapes.. AAAh then I moved to Jersey circa 79/80 a whole new world hahaha that was yet to be conquered..
its good to know that folks are still here and enjoying the music that had so much effect on our lives. i grew up in Johnson projects and this with I cant stop, apache, lets dance,dance to the drummers beat,Paradise or La Pregunta,Blow your head, and many others were the foundation of hiphop breaks and B Boy Classics that went on to influence the WORLD!!! as far as the HIP HOP Culture is concerned. We were kids too young to get on the mic but we sure could dance so when Louie Lou,Flash, or
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS WAY COOL TRACK - CALL IT HOUSE/DISCO/SOUL/R&B/HIPHOP/SOUL STILL MAKES THE PEOPLE MOVE AND IS STILL RELEVANT TO TODAY. WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG I HEAR THE BROTHERS JOHNSON AND TONS OF FUNKMASTERS! GREAT SONG - DAVEDJ
@ddrums001 I was there and remember ALL THAT! Wow..brothas like us are STILL HERE..we witnessed the birth of a "movement". Don't like where its going now, though..so weak, this new age rap bs!
@imakebeats65 Yes, my brotha...WE AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE..Bboy for life. That was our "craft"..an art shared by the few and the talented! I love all of you, my hip hop family! WE WERE THERE..AND STILL HERE! The hell with this new shyt!
OG Tic Toc(NYC-left side don't know about this, people..LOL)
To the YouTube family who "were there"...this is not only one of the more popular break beats, but a classic. REAL HIP HOP, yes? Rappers rapped to it; DJ's loved to scracth it; and BBoys like myself danced to it! Another timeless classic, people..and I BEG TO DIFFER!
Aw MAN! Back in the days of D.J. Battles at 21 park in the boogie down! Breakout, Timmy Hall, Cool Herc Grand Master Flash! My favorite Super Disco Break!!
Me Being Kool Hercs'Brother,All I think about besides THe Imperial J.C. and Clark Kent is How the F*ck did they used to spin back the 45rpm '33 size record!!...and my Brothers' vinyl is so thick!Word. So short to catch being in the middle of the record;you had to be nimble with it.Different from a short break at the start of a Jam.
Disco King Mario Jamz @ Noble Park Bronx,NY with Tex DJ Hollywood on the Wheelz & MC LiL Dee on the Mic, and the whole Mighty Zulu Nation deep on the scene!
I just discovered recently (or realized) that the break part was replayed on Sugarhill Gang's Sugarhill Groove. LOL! For the longest time, I was listening to Sugarhill Groove, and I couldn't figure out why the musical stabs were so familiar. I guess the title should have been a clue as well, since both cuts have 'Groove' in the name. ;)
THIS SHIT IS UP ON MY BREAK BEAT HALL OF FAME.. I BROUGHT MY FIRST BREAK BACK IN 76 1 25 TH BETWEEN 8th AND LENOX AND I'VE BEEN CATCHING A GROOVE WITH JUICE EVERY SINCE. . .MR.SOULS WITH THE FLOOR LORDS AND THE METRO MASTERS B BOYS across from foster that was real hip hop...
1st Armory Disco with Flash cutting "Catch A Groove"... u had to be there and experience the walls shack each time he caught the getg down part. Sick. Need i say more ?
OMG!!!! Ive been searching for this track since last year. Damn I miss those jams in the park. Thank you for uploading the track. Hopefully it will not be removed
This is another official early Hip Hop joint. Kool Herc & The Imperial DJ Jay Cee use to cut this joint up so hard that the record formed permanant grooves at the break point. That made way for the needle drop.
Just sold an original copy of this on ebay. One of my favourite jams! The compressed snare sound is incredible! Classic Jazzy Jay spin!
