[batchmister1]

Which Doug E. Fresh song has a GUITAR solo and the words alligator and refrigerator in it?????????

[queenerica]

I fell in <3 with Hip Hop on this song!! 

[TYCOONLAGOON]

The new Dougie looks feminine as shit. The original Dougie was some G shit.

[grextchen7grenxade]

This whole album wich came out in 1988 was the shit, period! From the track title, got too get some too africa!

[jrichman21]

[Blackaveli1000]

This Is The Shit .

[40jesh]

special it is it takes me back to the 80 90''s when we where breakdancing.

bring back the old days

[mocha0030]

this reminds me of jams in front of the state building on 125th street, and the rooftop roller rink. harlem world baby! 80's hip-hop was the best.

[mocha0030]

@mocha0030 can't forget bamboo earrings and $54.11's. LOL

[lordvespatron]

It was 88 actually i think

[lordvespatron]

Back in 86 in Venezia Italy only one record store carried RAP, and i couldnt get hold of this record so i had to make do with the 12" version. Wicked tune!

[emakopoulos]

[rarafrom215]

[lewdiggz]

and a crisp pair of levis

the 80's were the sh#@!!!

[TutsRevenge]

I would rather listen to the last 30 seconds of this song for the rest of my life than any song they play on the radio today.

[TheDPG63]

1988 was the year this classic came out!

[MRbigballn4u]

i was a young boy beeatn this shit !!!!!

[Smokeshadey]

Stop Dissin the Young ones and their music. It's not fair. We have to remember that when this came out for us. Our parents didn't understand what we were going though neither. I not saying that I like artist such as Lil' Wayne or Soulja Boy. Because I don't.

[MadScout]

@Smokeshadey: But the thing is guys like Doug E. Fresh, Biz Markie and the other golden age barely got the sort of mainstream coverage Lil' Wayne and current guys do now. Rap music has had an outlaw rep before lame cats like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice made it big.

[RicoCoracao2011]

i grew up with this...proud :D

[curtisjones400]

Want to give a shout out to WBLS kingrob i remember those days

[LILCBOY15]

[justtony21]

[pedrinelastronauta]

@justtony21 I agree with you... Man I miss that decade... I still have my Kangol...

[NinaSimoneDC]

Classic .... REAL RAP!

[saldogg662]

so its been about 22 years since there was a positive hip hop song without cursing or disrespecting ?  Dam !!!

[rexboogie]

This was a good time in music. Dougie fresh always put on a great show. Even when he was not the headline act. I saw a show at Madison Square Garden, Dougie and Slick Rick had not even come on stage yet. Chill will and Barry (the DJs) stole the show. He was doing the dougie back in 85.

[bigoxization]

im only 13 but this is the joint

[doncer]

This is how you do The Dougie check out video on my page

[MsMildred56]

very old school....................yes

[pumpkin343]

OLD SCHOOL LIVES ON!

[leonrav]

This was his most popular song. Go Doug E.

[LGKids]

Saw Dougie do this live yesterday and he still tears the stage into pieces! Had the whole crowd moving and dancing! They had the nerve to put the kids who made the stanky leg, after him! You could hear a pin drop when they got on stage! And a pin drop when they left the stage! They need to make legends, not here today, gone the same day music!

[MrKneeel]

Best live emcee Ive ever seen!

[kingrob29]

Still remember taping this off of KISS or WBLS!

[westwood123x]

@kingrob29 YOu damn right this was one of the JAMS ON 98.7 KISS AND 107.5 FM WBLS. BEFORE HOT 97.1 FM.

[stretcherino7]

@kingrob29 You said TAPING. Lol. Most of these kids won't even know what that means. TDK, Maxell, take your pick!

[KappaKev1981]

@kingrob29 So True!

[PrissPop]

"try to dis me and i'll give you a token"

[pittsburghdoc]

The beginning of this song is like crack to the ears...ahhh... true melodic and lyrical bliss

[PhflyDan1]

Just found out Doug Fresh is a BAJAN!!! No wonder he love Trini Carnival... ha

[onemarilynfan]

all the young kids today need to be schooled on the true roots of hip hop- rakim-krs one- big daddy kane, and be shown WHAT true hip hop is! Def not the shit they listen to, its crap!

[chj2]

@onemarilynfan True - you also can't leave out a much more ancient point of origin as well. There would be no MCs today (even the garbage ones) without the rhymes and beats that were laid down CENTURIES AGO (yes, you heard right) by ancient Griots and Court Drummers who performed in front of Ancient African royalty. The difference now is this: the Griots and Court Drummers and Revolutionaries have been pushed out and the Court Jesters and Village Idiots have been given center stage.

[onemarilynfan]

@chj2 And when will (OR who?) they get there IS a portion of the population who would love to hear some real rap/hip-hop?I have given up completely on it. After Biggie died,I was done,it seemed like that was around the time that this crappy 'crunk' style lil wayne shit took over. I cant stand it. Now I sound like some old lady (35!) saying, this new music sucks, you kids don't know what music is! I am quite proud of my kids,they pretty much listen to old music.(damn, my gen is now 'old'!)

[Clariccy]

@onemarilynfan 35 is old ? Since when ? lol  !

100 is OLD ffs *rolleyes*

[curtisjones400]

@Clariccy Man this song was so cool -i use to listen to this song in the club no fights-everyone having a good time-way before gangster

[boomboi1990]

[rudyinthe505]

Isn't it amazing that one of the founders of it all has only received 531 views when I wrote this?  He deserves better than that.

Here's to Woody Wodpecker!
