[pisceanqueen1]

Anybody know what the samples for this track were?

[kgrimes2nd]

@pisceanqueen1 , there's a lot of songs in there, but they used two songs by The Blackbyrds - "Runaway" (opening horns and the hook) and "Reggins", and "Holy Ghost" from The BarKays (about 30 seconds in).

[ltinsley2]

[JEDI7ACEN]

I had the video on my favorite, but you tube took it off.

[BOX5]

In 1988 I was 17 years old and crazy about kid. He still looks good.

[teeblack06]

[2700SKIDOO]

[27andkickinit]

[StoicTwo]

Eeeeee oooo thats ill!

-Stosa!

[DJOVERDOSEMUNICH]

This is definitely an old school *platinum* track!!!

[dabachaleor]

i use to love this video when i was little. i remember the first time i saw it on yo mtv raps. they was in the streets dancing wearin the 2 hype outfits lol

[crunk617]

20 years later and this joint still rocks. i recall going to a club recently and the dj put this on and me and man who used to be in a group together went and turned the club out. heads was bugging that cats in their 30's can still get down like we did back in 88-89

[rbrown0607]

HA HA HA, didn't you know 30 is the new 20? Do yo thang!

[cre8tinme]

[rgunter1981]

MAN ALL i GOTTA SAY IS BASEMENT PARTYS!! MY COUSONS USED TO START OFF EVERY PARTY WITH THIS ALBUM. 1988=GOOD TIMES.

[djswirvinirvin]

good song wish i could find video on here cause i luv the dance they do on here

[2blakandbold]

Who said Hip-hoppers don't dance?They must have never seen House Party or Whodini ,or even Heavy D and the Boyz.

[DanRafter365]

Dope...DEF...AND FRESH........Ole School MUSIC DEFINES Hip-Hop and what it truly is!!!!

[Monicadominguez2393]

i remember i bought this yo mtv raps cassette and it had this on their. plus some others as well from that time.

[SoulDawgUGA97]

I'm sure all of you have seen the commercial where LeBron James clowns a dude over a Kid N' Play CD. I got my laffs off that, and, well, I guess if I caught one of my 30's-year-old potnas with a KNP CD in their ride I'd be like WTF, but yo, Kid N' Play was the ish during their prime. I still bob my head when I hear their stuff on XM 65.

[rbx10]

Man I recall this was the era when Hip Hop was fun and exciting and I know some of you do to. Everyone knew the lyrics and was doing the dance steps. I used to write these lyrics on paper, memorize them ,and go spit them in school as a freshman with my homeboys. Today I cannot remember the last time I try to memorize a hip hop verse...so sad :( And who would want to... All they rap about now is rims, sex, and guns. Somebody please bring the old hip hop back. Please bring it back.

[sillyposter]

If they come up with a 'serious' new school of version of this I'll Be Happy

[donivanl]

Takes me back.

[jarbon5]

This is from a time when hiphop used to be fun, about nothing else but just getting your boogie on. Miss that kind of hiphop:(

[djteggy]

wish i was around for that

[sillyposter]

Yeah.

[CoQ10z]

Loved their albums and movies..."Eraser Head"...lol

[cashmoney110]

Still...the...shit.

[kingston62206]

Shout out to all the old heads back in Youngstown Ohio who remember Star Palace......this song brings back memories......this is true hip hop......we use to fight back then...it wasnt about gunz or killing each other......Im glad I come from this cloth....it;s wonderful being my age

[huss1212]

brings back childhood!!!

[70sbaby80schild4life]

This is my shit! I was 11 when this was released in 1988, and the video kicked ASS!!!! I don't know why YouTube took the video down.

[Snaffleur]

Cause youtube sucks right now. They pulled alot of good videos off of here. If not, the videos, then they took out the audio clips.

[70sbaby80schild4life]

You can't really blame it on YouTube. It's these selfish ass greedy ass record companies and distributors that be telling the owners of YouTube to tell the one that had the video to pull it out. YouTube is just doing what they say.

[dukenthaylor]

yeah, those suit-wearin', Rin-And-Tin-jockin' muthafuckas! GIVE ME MY BROWN SUGAR, BITCHES! XO

[stevefromPA]

u would think the record companies would leave it alone...How many ppl that are under 20 dont even know about true Hip Hop and the u tube audience reaches more ppl than when Kid n Play were hot. But first you have to realize in 1986 mainstream media , radio and society were still warming up to Hip hop

[rutgergtf]

someone got a link where i can download their albums? i cant find them in any store or on thepiratebay:(:(. I gotta have it!!:P

[Snaffleur]

Did you try I-Tunes?

[brucelee7525]

lol my uncle was testing the vcr recorder and recorded this video for no reason

[sweepstar1]

i got to find someone to do the kickstep with

[1spidersymbiotepool]

cmon lets go!

[sweepstar1]

ok lets go im kid lol let me blow out my flat top

[1spidersymbiotepool]

Ill be Play and Ill go shave my head to a high fade flattop

[dukenthaylor]

oh, shit! my MONITOR can't dance! ;)

[kaodik]

I cant believe the video isnt on Youtube. I was peeping their jumpoffs today after watching House Party. This was my favorite joint by them. Classic.

[amazingspidey71]

This was one of my favorites to jam to back then, we used to copy all their moves, wish I could see the video. Thanks for posting the song though.

[victornewman06]

Thank you. I honestly wish I had the video, but hey...thanks again for listening :)

[feetnick]

The video for this was dope, had me tearing up my Mommas house trying to them moves.

[enviops]

It's some ungrateful, emotional mofos commenting on this. This my joint.

[hoodrichGMP]

yeah man cuz this shit is classic !

[victornewman06]

LOL

[psychotropic7]

This is my absolute jam from Kid-N-Play. Another add-on to my favorites.

Thanks for the post!

[phillycat1128]

Because this is the best vid they did...just about 2 notches above the "Do this my way" video. Hip Hip heads love to see these dudes do they thing.

[mxpassion17]

wack without the vid , thanks for nothing fool!

[victornewman06]

You are an idiot!!!!

[amf004]

I need the video!!!!

[victornewman06]

ok...

[victornewman06]

I have a question...why is everyone trippin' on here cause I don't have the video??? It's all good that you want to see the video, but why are we fixated on imagery instead of the quality of the song itself? That's the problem with music today. We are inundated with appearances than quality, once that happens it becomes formulaic and cookie cutter. I'm not bitching, I'm just wondering why people are so adamant about the video?

[1lightqt]

I know that's right!!! MESSAGE!!!!!!

[CrescentSword]

People are trippin' because this cut is not that old and we can remember the video. Plus this is the only post and it's audio. There is no alternative. If there were, viewers would simply go there.

Stop acting lost. You know that this is from the video generation of hip hop. We're all about the total sensory experience.

People asumed that this was a vid post when they clicked in because again, this wasn't that long ago. They're disappointed and pissed, thats all..

[victornewman06]

I'd have to disagree with that. The purity of the music itself should be enough. I'm far from lost, I love music videos like the next person, but that doesn't mean that I'm resolute on seeing a video if the music is just as good. It's not a package deal to me. I try to think outside the box and not be a spoonfed consumer...as far as music is concerned. Some people assumed true enough, but I'm hoping others just listen to the song and enjoy quality instead of imagery.

[CrescentSword]

You should post on Jango then.

This is YouTube.

[dukenthaylor]

i'm old school, VN06! but never too purist where I fail to recognize YouTube as the world's premier interactive MULTI-media "thru-let" it is! People aren't really hating on you, cuz! They are just letting you know that they prefer to experience the fullest media expression of a hip-hop treasure!

so it people want to TEXT you that they want to see a VIDEO of this SONG, don't hate and "should" on us! Throw in that bonus: 3D GRAPHICS of Oompa Loompas dancing KidNPlay's moves on our desks! 8D

[crunk617]

i wanna see the video. they need to post the video it's a classic

[crunk617]

i love this fuckin jam

[MrGoingHard]

i think kid n play probably everybody in all the hoods across the u.s. doing the kick step dance.

man i still watch house party!

[quietstormz3]

what the heck going on? where the show at?

[scimitar08]

somebody post the video pleeeeaaaasssseee!!!!!!

[GilLindsay]

I remember dancing in front of the tv watching videos before we went to the club that night. And trying out the dances at the club.

[brucelee7525]

i remember i was 4 and my uncle taped this video cause he was bored and we used to play it and i just loved kidnplay eversince

[bckatcha08]

used to luv it
