One of the greatest hip hop / rap tune of all time - so mellow, so powerful, so right and just so good. Simply awesome, and more importantly, timeless. I still got the original 12" I bought when it first came out 20 years ago, annd y'know what, it sounds better now than what it ever did. Brilliant....
This re-miix by CJ Mackintosh from the UK was years ahead of it's time and is still very fresh today - a classic case of a re-mix far outshining the original both in quality, depth and insight.
Great track that still gets the house rockin' 20 years later.
First the bass beat grabs you, then in comes that ever-pounding snare drum which holds the whole thing together, combining to make it such a cool sound with some great rapping.
Excellent track by Young MC, and superbly remixed by the master himself, CJ Mackintosh - 10 out 10
"ello i'm Young Mc and i got a story to tell,i just got a free cup from Taco Bell"
i'm from the UK and went to America a lot in the late 80's early 90's and i really liked Young Mc and Taco Bell. We don't have Taco Bells over here......... Grrr!
yo man I just gotta say this...the first time I heard this mix was the same time it came out and you know what, I lost it right then. Since then it never ever left my mind and always thought it just disappeared of the face of the earth. Do you have any IDEA what it feels like..after all hope was lost.. to have found it after 20 looooong years...
reason i fell in love with this mix was the BASS.. never fell in love with a bass line like this before... ever!!!!!!!THANK YOU, I MEAN IT
@TheKedamawi This remix is amazing! The Southern Comfort mix of "I Come Off" can be found in the iTunes Store on the Deluxe Edition of Young MC's classic debut LP Stone Cold Rhymin'.
@deliciousvinyl This excellent version is also available on a compilation CD called 'The Rebirth of Cool", which also has some other great tracks on it.
@lukaas0073 Thanks for the heads up! Personally I think real music stopped after the early 90's...yes there are a few here and there but the deep essence and true meaning of music just melted away... but hey thats just me talking.... thanks again! God Bless!
Genius mix for its time, the orig track was cheezy as hell..i remember listenin to this mix 20 years ago on a sat nite music dance show on 2jjj called the groove train with a guy called Andy Gittra or somethin..
@markzzxx the show on JJJ started around 9pm and initially was called the black music show then changed its name to the rythm method (in 1990) and I too remember this song from that
for those of us at Spike Island, buzzin on the same vibe!!! the place went up upon the first few notes of this top mix, brings tingles n hits yer where it counts, top Young lad with some good old skool mellow braggin, nowt wrong with a bit of that!!!
maybe its a woodblock or acow bell, in qotsa little sister they use a red one on the drum kit and they were arguing over what its called and it was called something else , sounded better to say than a cow bell any way, this trk has my 2nd fav lyric of the moment " i come off like the clothes on a hooker" my no.1 at present is dizzee rascals ability to ryhme "pin colada" with "or what ever youd rather" priceless trk i think holiday? will let u know if not
its the little things that make life more bearable, i like the touch of changing the image , spinning the record label as the hihat/tamberine drop comes in, u know i think i'm 2 easily pleased, but the trouble was gone to to do it and i noticed and i like it very much
Thanks for posting version, it sounds way better than the original and kind of made Young MC sound like a legit MC! Some might disagree and some will agree, but it's nice to hear a actual flow on a record and not all this bull they call rap today!
wow C.J Mackintosh. UK DMC DJ from back in the 80s....Do you remember "The Tables are Turnin" CJ Mackintosh (scratchin) ft. Einstein, Derek B "Get Down", We Papa Girl Rappers "We Rule" Caveman "Victory", Rebel Mc (well??? lolol), Silver Bullet "Bring forth the Guilotine" enuff big tunes in the U.K. That really was the kick-start of breakbeat/hardcore in the U.K. 1988/92.
nope born in london, like slick rick then moved to new york (like many west indian immigrants at the time because as a commonwealth nation britain was easier to enter)
haha!! I was just rappin over this bassline & thinking i sounded dope =) ..... but I am off da meat hook fo' sho' baaybee! "wen i rap a sound people yell 'ur a wigga' .. but i'm so underground ma doorbell is a digger" peice out xx
