[B1gChuck35]

I think Woody Rock had the best verse.

[joes1455]

this is so classic a true 1st as far as videos in the 80's

[jackhammer250]

Hey Hey Ha Ha He He "PAP MUSIC" Nigga Pleease! Then again its a nice way of putting it PAP ("POP AND RAP MIXED WITH SOUTHERN MUSIC") Too be honest with you, you haven't lied about that one. I am in 100 % in agreement with that statement; also nice way to use and acronym I will do best to spread the word.

That just goes to show you that Hiphop is still in the building even if the true roots and foundation is not gettin much spot light as of now. Other than that check out Rita J dope femMc

[kinstube]

THIS WAS MY GROOVE !!!

[reel1840]

I am still number1 rember that

[erickrassle]

First off i danced for the ICONs back in the day Public Enemy, 2 Live Crew and many more.been everywhere son. The fact of the matter is the Euro's I am speaking about are some try harder, nerds trying to flip this new style. It sucks! Period. South Bronx, NYC home and domain of real hip hop. Yes black folk invented every music you right. But those Brixton boys and what I see on youtube. Save that shit Europe. It's wack!

[ColdMedalist]

That's pretty funny.. Here in Europe most of the pop-rap we get is from the US, and us 30+ consider the younger generation to be the pop-rap generation.... And if you really think that black people created every music culture you really need to travel a bit.. Or just get out of the house more.

[gronlaf]

PEOPLE JUST DONT KNOW HOW THIS WAS THE TURN OF HIP-HOP

[slimmsayton]

It still kinda hurts to see Chill dancing and shit. He's in that chair now. Still acting, though.

[erickrassle]

You so wack. Every generation is different..So quit trying to do your daddy's generation. Wayne and all the other garbage rap is LYRIC_LESS, STYLE-LESS and beats are doo-doo. That would be like me trying to do my mom and dad's generation. 50's style music and what not. Finf your own shit and quit butvhering up hip hop. This is a classic joint. Sorry your dumb ass young generation can't understand vocab and style with dope beats.

[Jekyllthejester]

Every generation is different....... Man, this absolutley sucked.

[gronlaf]

@Jekyllthejester IGNORANT MUTHAFUCKA, THIS ERA IS ONE OF REASON YOU ENJOY SHIT-HOP TO THIS DAY

[13ScanTron]

who rapps after woody rock...?

[rexboogie]

half these group never made it. Or were wack as hell. puff saved uptown.

[TheThirdEyeCeesU]

rexboogie: Yeah, most of these groups never made it because back in the day, Hip Hop had it's own policing system, which you can think of as the "Wack Patrol". If you weren't cuttin' it, you got no love & subsequently dropped off the scene. We need this system of control to come back, because the shit that is passing for hip hop music is embarrassing. How did this happen??!!!!??!!

[rexboogie]

I agree.

[lougrantheone]

Groove B Chill does murder it. I remember this coming up.

[VaughnMead]

Grove B chill was the best part @3:45

[MrIncr3d1ble]

Nigga I hate you for this lol....funniest shit ever

[erickrassle]

The editor is white. Uniformed soul. A white guy that was mentored by Proffesor Griff from Public Enemy and many more educated minds. PAP is REAL! Pop and Rap music music attempt. I made that "calling card "for a reason. To teach young folks about the art and culture. Your racism is jealousy. Black folk invented EVERY MUSIC CULTURE OUT THERE. So what you knew a bootlegger. You thoughts should be wrote and spell checked. I see the DMC on your WACK page. "Like DMC U NEED ST JOHNS UNIVERSITY"

[oldschoolhunter]

that definition of PAP is WACK. That PAP music that the editor don't like ,well it paid those black motherfuckers back then when they own NEGROS was bootleggin they shit. RACIST BEGINNING TO A GREAT SONG AND VIDEO.

THEY BLACKS NEED TO KEEP THE VULGAR SEX AND DRUG TRASH TALK TO THEIR HOME UPBRIGGING.

[noirnoticvibe]

My dude Woody Rock was an ill lyricist...ahead of his time...one of Strong Islands unsung greats...

[houseofjrk]
