The RHYTHM IS THE MASTER

[papiblatino]

YESSSSSS!!!. been looking for this for ever!!!!!...thank you for posting.

[voidofbeeswax]

This is one of the best uses of sampling ever.

[3dmarth]

What's with the overcaffeinated Peewee Herman wannabe at the beginning? :P Sweet video, though, and I'm not even into hip hop. Ah, the '80s...

It's kind of ironic that after they sampled the Talking Heads, bits of this track got sampled in turn by someone else...

"Beat, kicks the beat, kicks the rockin'!"

[Boogers4dinner]

This was my shit back in the days. Actually, it still is.  :)

[lukejeter7]

songs like this make me feel better about living in such a bad area idk y

[thetriplea2003]

Back when you could sample anything with no consequences.

[thesouthrapsucks]

[hellfukk666]

[dabanditisback]

These dudes just came into my head, they were killin' it. I was bumpin the hell out of this tape!

[Boogers4dinner]

I used to have this cassette tape. Damn. I rewound it so many times I didn't even listen to the other tracks on the tape because I loved this one so much. LOL "As the days go by" was the sample from the 1980s. I used to love that song too.

[Parrock1]

@Boogers4dinner the sample was from a Talking heads track, and the 'Slave to the Rhythum' sample is from Grace Jones' tune of the same name.

[CUCHIE68]

Does Chuck Chillout still have a radio show in NYC?

[portobellogal]

Dont remember if we got to see this video over here in uk? But we had the track on those mix tapes we got from NYC,& they always got nicked....

[anthillmob]

the grace jones sample also has the "annihilating rhythm" part but it's from a different mix. was first used by T La Rock in Back to Burn

[icornejo]

[hassafella]

Classic. I still have this video, recorded off of Video Music Box.

[SP99]

Brings back old mammaries.

[SMC799]

I grew up around the corner from Chuck and Chip and the video was recorded right up on Bronxwood Avenue in the Bronx. We were really proud of these two when the video came out and they stayed in the neighborhood. Chip, was always, just Chip (of course w/him being a little older than me and my girlfriends, we had crushes on him and he treated us a little sisters since he was friends with some of our older brothers:-)

[djfoil]

thats too cool.

[MortalTomkat]

[Tigersteez]

Anyone know what the short music piece is right after rodney did his thing?

[intromix]

The drum beat was "Set It Off" remix by Strafe and the music loop was "Once In a Lifetime" by Talking Heads with Clips of Grace Jones sampled into it

[Tigersteez]

Thanks for replying but i mean the piece before the actual song starts, i heard the original somewhere but i don't know who it was or what it's called.

[hoteleden]

Man, back in the day, when they was first was showing this vid. I had a MAD CRUSH on that girl at 2:13, 3:05!!

Hip Hop today need to get back to its roots! Yeah I know about change and everything - but rap today is so plastic, fake!

Aside from Common, JayZ (i'll give it to him)and a few others, there's really no life in it now.

[mwhite36]

Glad to see this vid back on here (hopefully it stays on!).

Yo! Do a YouTube search: "The B-Boys - Two, Three, Break" [posted by vinylmorpher] to hear one of Chuck Chillout's lost CLASSICS!!
