@sugashack74 --- Shout out to South Side Queens. This was the anthem. whaaaaat!

40 projects, Hollis, St Albans, Farmers Blvd, Rochdale Village, etc. Grandmaster Vic blend tapes were everywhere.

[msbots12]

I WAS born in 1988, my boyfriend who apreciate good old classics introduced me to this song and we'v ever since made it our song...the song is so diverse goes beyond age, and even tho he wants me to kip holdin on to our relationshp whneva i hear it, it's also inspirational on a personal level to kip reachin to the top.

[sugashack74]

The DJ that made this song famous is from South Jamaica Queens Named Grand Master Vic. He used to blend this song with either a hip hop song or another R&B Track. The other mix I know Grand Master Vic for is his Phil Collins/MC Lyte blend.

[Babygrace07]

This is the JAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YES!

[Marosi60]

I first heard this track in 1984 in Sydney and it was part of a compilation cassette a DJ in NYC had put together called 'Late Night Rendezvous' there was another track with the lyrics

Sunshine..... your my sunshine baby......

Sunshine..... your my sunshine baby......

and another track with lyrics

really wanna get close to you , don't you know I wanna get close to you .....

The tape was my all time fav, sadly some arsehole stole it and I would really like to get a copy of it if anyone knows how

[dalovemaster16]

Mad props to this positive song. If u got the likes of Doug E. Fresh, Mary J. Blige and others sampling from this than your music mission has been completed. This song will last forever. DJ Kenny Mc.

[vkap]

sampled in Nas - Hey Nas (God's Son)

[ezearl]

Did J Dilla Really Sample This For Take It Back? lol Sounds Like It At The Beg...

[lesterroberts1]

I've been lied 2- someone told me this was Roy Ayres.

[Kingmanification]

gta vice city stories all the way to the top

[SmokeyCSULB]

Did Mary Jane Girls sample this song for "All night Long?" Sounds just like it.

[robinvanheerden]

@SmokeyCSULB I was thinking EXACTLY the same..

[Jubeski]

Love this. Late 90's summertime, sun is shinning, temperature is just right, got the beamer gleamin, this song comes on the radio, mind starts to reminisce....

[LOOPWHOLEBEATS]

@Jubeski RESPECT~ great visual to this classic.

[senseijenkins]

This is the formula for success!!! Thanks for posting such a clear version.

[djsugah]

oh goddd i love this song so so much

[MissBrooklyn87]

Love this beat. KEEP RISING 2 THE TOP PEOPLE. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!!!

[notrut]

A massive track in the same league as Booker Newbury III

[Thefunksoulbro]

Nice video,saw him live recently it was a blast

[jonesjames43]

one of the greatest songs ever in history.i love this joint

[nistramo]

ll cool j around the way girl......intro....tune!!!!thi­s and that.

[djbakpane1]

@cradleofjohannes. Your points are correct. I should have used the adjective 'borrowed' instead of "stolen" Pete Rock and DJ Premier are the kings of beats in my opinion.

[SUPERSOUNDBANK]

NEVER GIVEUP.. . .



[craigywavy]

one cool tune. X

[sp00kyPT]

Sean Price - Sabado Gigante . ^^

[djbakpane1]

What do you know about Keni Burke? Well, Pete Rock and CL Smooth stole this to make the song "Take you there" in the mid-1990s.

[cradleofjohannes]

@djbakpane1 stole is not the proper term...Pete sampled it. Plus Pete gave credit to Keni and any other artist he samples. If he hadn't sampled this great song then we wouldn't have one of the best hip hop song there is.

[northerngrooveTV]

Keni is playing Band on the Wall / Manchester this February the 19th. Can't wait!

[harddivej]

i was sittin here and when the bass crept out.......i closed my eyes and a super cheese grin came up. heartbeat skipped.

[lytee]

this only song, worth more than all the lady gaga and other bullshit that we can hear on the radio today...lolll, that's what i called real music!!

[KINGWYCO]

luv ol skool music

[Marosi60]

one of my fav's

[MrKing8050]

Pete Rock and Cl Smooth - Take You There

[LU2013Aziz]

inspiring lyrics unlike todays crapy songs

[jlawton22]

@LU2013Aziz Yes because every song unless it is from the 80's is crappy... keep it up champ.

[IsaacBroadnax]

@LU2013Aziz u know how much crappy music came out in 1982? get over it.

[LU2013Aziz]

@IsaacBroadnax 80's music rules

[IsaacBroadnax]
