  • Ohh Noo, A Skip!!!

  • ah yes, ah yes...when I was young.....

  • one of the greatest records ever made

  • LOVE IT, LOVE YOU! PEACE

  • i like this, too.  :-)

  • No flex my favorite song of all time & i'm 19...

  • @JaQuezstarr16 Your age matters not.

  • Didn't matter how poor you were back in the days on the L E S in New York this song would make you forget it all and realize how rich we were to be able to have a song like this to make us think and wonder just if

  • i like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i disliked this video because u described it as "ghetto", ghetto is a noun NOT an adjective. since u don't know the meaning of the word, it is: 1. an area of a city lived in by a minority group, especially a run-down & densely populated area lived in by a group that experiences discrimination. 2. in former times, an area in European towns in which the Jewish population was required to live. 3. environment where a group of people live or work in isolation, whether by choice or circumstance.

  • went on a roadtrip to Los Angeles in spring 2010. made a mix cd for the trip and it included a mix of hip hop and other genres. this song stood out to my friends and I throughout the whole trip. Now listening to this song and living in LA, definitely takes me back to good times with my friends and all the good times yet to come.

  • @PhatTedz Hey Phat, I also love this extended cut of their dynomite tune! When it first came out in 74, I was with friends and had three or four lava lamps and colored candles goin, plus incense and about a half an hour in (after sucking on two hits of "window pane blotter) we went into "outer space" (OD) > "Out Dere" and will nevah, evah fogit this tune!! Check out Idris Muhammed's "Lorans Dance," as well as Billy Cobham's: "Heather," too! Great "Head" stuff! (with or without any substances!

  • nice,real nice,great mix !!!!

  • Im gunna wake up my girlfriend and fuck her to this delightful song right now!!

  • @crooklynsince1983 awesome,I think I will too,haha,just playin,this is one of those get busy tunes,but a smooth rhythm,like a warm rainy sunday groove, ~~~~

  • ABSOLUTELY GREAT MUSIC!!!! I'm so glad I did some digging to find out what was the sound that the lost boyz used on their intro on their album! I'm a 80's baby and I love this song!

  • Summertime- Will Smith

  • @Shamoles Thank you, I was thinking hard for a minute.

  • Just showered, warming up next to the warm heat. Mind is complete, Music is in Sync with the Mood. Perfect Wind Down until I hit the Key Club... One ♥ Chelle'

  • @msmmayers1 ~ this will always be in sync,its the mood that will transform while you listen ~~~~ I know,it's 3 am,I was dozing off,and it came on the radio,and woke me up,so here I am,yayy,wide awake now,alone,but wide awake,even took the day off,hahahaha !!!!

  • Bit rough around the edges. But thanks for the effort!

  • I'd like to know the type of synth used in this track, does anybody know? Oh and ya'll should check out the song Golden Rainbow by Alphonse Mouzon, if you like this you're 100% guaranteed to like that too!!!

  • The Digable Planets sampled the beginning of this song in thier song Jimmi Diggin Cats. I heard their version before I heard this. Its so awesome hearing the original sample of a song you already love.

  • Dayummmmmmmmm!!! What a flashback. Awesome. I wonder how many children have been conceived to this jam?

  • Ive Listen to this song over 100 times in a row , And cant change it the past couple hours

  • this album should have included a nick, blacklight poster, inscense, and a lava lamp.

  • the big cissor cut at 1:10 is your editing? you really think it turn out well...????? uhu??

  • SMOOTH THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY

  • Some of the most talented brothers !!! luv their music!!! all you need is a drink & just chill out!!!

  • Ace! Well done! 

  • Aww man that was a great edit you did yo thing on it

  • I wanna smoke to this and get high off this.. but im pregnant LMAO so i guess ima have to wait

  • @SiisiiLovESMJ ~~ Dontcha know,great things come to those who wait,so god bless,and enjoy !!!!!

  • When I listened to this high on weed back in '74, the synth crescendos would blow my mind; felt like the notes were piercing my brain, LOVED THAT! Now because I'm an old head and can't mess with the herb I don't get that affect but I sill LOVE this cut. It'll always be one of BEST, smoke, fuck, count, all three or whatever.

  • @roryrook I love the crescendo on this too - it's like the music had an orgasm! I know it's provoked mine a time or two listening to this while making love! ;-)

  • @roryrook hey man, age is a mindset. Fuck whatcha heard, smoke some chiba. Age ain't got shit on us.

  • @LightningCrashes89 Where I come from that chiba is H. Never did mess with that. Never will. I guess chiba is weed where you are. If so, I think you might be right. Hell, I even told my kids, "If I get cancer, I'm just gonna use weed to ease the discomfort." Oh by the way, let me know when I can expect that Rx for the MM. Thanks, Doc.

  • @roryrook cosign.  this song is the truth.

  • @roryrook ~~ahhh,the effect will ALWAYS be there with this classic,enjoy !!!!!!!!

  • @tunnelratlt Yes sir and I do! But I feel compelled to admit that Dr. Lightningcrashes1989's medical advice last month is starting to make much more sense to me now ; )

  • @roryrook You are a cool man.

  • @roryrook I understand you much more than you could think :D

  • @roryrook burn that herb man, and relive this classic

  • @roryrook It's a shame you can't smoke any more.

  • @roryrook and Im so blessed to still be doin all three now and wise enuff to be laid back, enjoying of course there's not much left of my mind to be blown LOL

    you should make a good playlist for sex.

  • These song puts into another dimensions of just pure blissful happiness. I listen to this group for years.

  • I did a video that was inspired by this awesome song. What a crazy tune! This is music at its finest!

  • You did good baby..this is my steppin' JAM!

  • this my wake and bake song :)

  • If you enjoy the song so much pay the small fee for the legal download and support the artists and labels that bring this music out.

  • @DeckstarDeluxe Dawg, this is a mix made by the user, not an original by Kool & the Gang. No artists or labels are involved in this. This is straight up by the people, for the people, and a damn tasty example, if I do say so myself!

  • @TheFlipanator Doesn't mean you shouldn't buy the original after all without that this wouldn't exist.

  • WHOMEVER EXTENDED IT- THANK U!!!! U MADE DA GROOVE EVEN BETTER!

  • This is feel good music.

  • I always listen to this when I feel down and out

  • this is a delightful extension of the original!! Thanks for the posting!!

  • Someone actually disliked this? Jesus!! I hope their dicks or tits fall off. Then they'll have something to worry about.

  • how could anyone dis like this

  • dhis sing akways relaxs me :)

  • I can't stand people to talk dumb shizz. If you can do it better, just do it. Just enjoy what others do to make life easier for us. We have our ups and downs. Enjoy life. Don't waste time in life and If you respond, start by being a positive person and lift someone up. love Mel.

  • If you can find the 'Love and Understanding cd or album get it,it has one of the best Summer Madness on it Live and it is I think 10 to 12 minutes long. If you find it buy it worth every dollar.

  • I was in junior high in L.A. around the 7th grade and had a 8 track player called the dynamite 8 and I would walk around the campus play this and Higher Planes. Those were the days.

  • what do you mean ghetto this is a great classic JACKASS

  • nice try, but the transitions between your cuts are too noticeable. Takes me out of the song every time.

  • @TallAssAdam i didnt see it was your first try, not bad, but still unlistenable for me. You prolly gotten better since this.

  • D.J Premier in deep concentraion

  • Got mad respect for you. In my opinion, this is one of K&TG's all time top 5. In the early '80s, a cat (El Mongo, the groove maker) use to bust this @ the close of his Quietstorm radio show in Miami...(before it was the South Beach scene.). This groove is timeless. First edit = THUMB UP...do ya thing! 

  • @L8NYTESMOOVES Hey thanks man, appreciate the positive comments from every one, keep groovin!

  • Aw yea!!!!!!!

  • TO L.SCOTTREMBER SCOTT BOYS THE BOTTOM

  • This song is awesome for lazy day summer sex.

  • Thanks to all for the kind comments; never thought this would hit 30000+ views =]

  • @YAS62ftw On behalf of all of "old schools" who remember this from our youth "thank you". This really rocks and if you have any more jams from back in the day, please be advised that I'll surely look foward to that day when you post them too.

  • You did a fine job & it's your first attempt at that ! It sounds good enough to lay back and enjoy. What a classic song

  • Still a baaaaaaaaaaad instrumental. Really enjoyed it -- hard to be anxious or upset while listening to this.

  • autechre: lowride !  I had no idea

  • I Like this Dude!!! You've Replaced the other Extended version in my opinion!! THANKS!!!!!!

  • well i got some Green time in my hand bout to light up .....0o yeah ..she feels nice maN.......peace and love 

  • Excellent Piece of MUSIC, and good job on your first attempt. Better than I would have done, just the fact that this piece is still playing and is as relaxing as it was the first time I heard it cruising the freeways of SoCal is awesome.

  • this song is so dam relaxing i love it

  • This jam was for the fellas' & slims of the day. If you wasn't a part of the steppiong-scene; you could'nt & did'nt appreciate the melodic sounds od "SUMMER-MADDNESS". The era of pure "IZISM" has truly dissolved into a clown-arena.
