[duster43]

Chills..if you from 80s...chills

[djzap1]

@MrRhaspyman ...T-Ski Valley Catch the Beat

[msblackbetty73]

Ok who knows the sample used on this song? My brother and I have been trying to remember for a while - it was an R&B group and it's the same chorus PMD uses.

[Kmq1968]

This Is A Slept On Hip Hop Classic..

[kcam213]

is this CD availabe from utunes? or the single as a download?

I really do want to buy it if it is available. never heard it before unsung.

[MrRhaspyman]

this joint is so hot!!!!!! especially using the great hip hop sample... "To catch a beat".

[msblackbetty73]

@MrRhaspyman Could u please tell me the name of the song sampled on the original version of this song?? Everyone is saying the Gap Band but that's the remix - your help would be sooooo appreciated!!

[TheTimeless11]

oh yeah this was was the one!

[TheTimeless11]

oh yeah this was it!!

[Aotterete]

Love this jam.... could I please get the Mp3 for this song ? Thank you.

[Aotterete]

Love this jam.... could I please get the Mp3 for this song ? Thank you.

[grammargod]

Props for posting!! But Yo....who got the MP3 for this joint? I need this for my "Road Trip" playlist....yawl know what it is...lol.

[NitaDave81]

Yooooooooo' havent heard this in years mannnnn!

[blueBlackpurple]

This is nice.

It kind of sounds like Heavy Dee.

[DJRoadkill18seven]

@blueBlackpurple yea he does big time

[jallenundat]

music like this brings us all together, and takes us back to better times.

GOOD MUSIC!

[chumpanddump]

You gotta love the Keith Sweat's "Make It Last Forever" sample looping over and over. Awesome video that I would watch over and over back in 1993 on the California Music Channel in the Bay Area. Great memories!

[ariesespo]

@chumpanddump Where are you getting Make it last forever? The loop in the background was produced by PMD with mixes of jazz horns and High Hats with loop ins from vocals.

[MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

@ariesespo Real Talk. That is DEFINITELY NOT 'Make it Last Forever'. Unless someone got REAL ACTIVE with an MPC 3000. Wait... that wasn't out yet! lol

[chumpanddump]

@ariesespo You're kidding right? 

[ariesespo]

@chumpanddump kidding about what?

[fetishb]

@ariesespo DONT MIND HIM MAN.. HES SPEAKING FROM HIS ARSE

[miamivicepastels83]

@ariesespo he's probably hearing it at around 0:27 ....it does sound very similar. i hear it too.

[ariesespo]

@miamivicepastels83 I think it's a stretch. That rif is faster than Make it last forever at 27 seconds.

[miamivicepastels83]

@ariesespo but they can speed it up

[IRON5]

@chumpanddump CMC was the shit back then....

[brolicking]

@chumpanddump This sample is the Gap Band Outstanding is the name of the song

[DJSkyy718]

this was and still is my joint .

[SlimfromYO]

OMG, the memories of this song?! Whew...thx so much for posting!

[1954mustang]

Loved this song when it came out.

[lightmocha]

@prince1035...if that's you...OMG...just watched youse guys "Unsung" episode today and it reminded me of really good times.I remember our school talent show at my middle school in Detroit and we had try outs for our annual Spring Talent Show and everybody and their Pops tried out to the "Fat Boys" Stick 'Em". OH....MY...GAWD...that was the shiznit. And everybody wanted to be or thought they were a "Beat Boxer" and wanted to be your bandmate soooo bad. Good memories. Good Times. TY 3xs.

[TheIG07]

The Original fat Joe...lol

[PhenomAJ]

[chance3473]

[abdullahi892]

[BlackFreemasonsSuck]

When Prince Markie DEE dropped this song it was right on time because a young lady that I loved was in love with a brother who was beating on her real bad, so bad he put her in the hospital because he found my phone number in here Black Book Of Love if you know what I mean. I played this song for her when I picked her up from the hospital and now she my wife!

[kay77764]

@BlackFreemasonsSuck wow!! what a story!!

[ocgg92841]

[str8outtatexas1]

the days of enjoying great music from the late 60's to early 90's are dead. there are no more messages in the music. it's just thugs & gangbangers rapping about killing,beef,bitches,strip clubs,bling,drank,money,beef,g­uns and other stupid prison garbage that they spew out of their mouths. you will never hear a rapper today making a r&b cut like this or a slow jam produced by a rapper like back in the day. hell no! fuck all this new shit except for a very few r&b artist.old school 4ever playa

[reese87]

@prince1035 I love you! You are the true definition of NEW Jack Swing! Hey ariesespo, thanks for the upload!

[Timario007]

@ariesespo not really heavy came out in 87

[ariesespo]

@Timario007 and teh Fat Boys were out in 1983

[Timario007]

@ariesespo i c wat u say i ment as a solo artist

[rocfanfromdayone]

This is still the bump......CLASSIC CD

[NineSeven]

This takes me back. I remember buying this single at Music+Plus back in the day and playing it to the point I wore the cassette tape out, and it ended up stuck in my tape deck. lol. (Gotta love the early 90's) This definitely brings back good memories...good looking on this upload!

[Salam462]

Yo, I hadn't heard this in so long. My man Markie Dee put it down. This is when music was still music. Much love to whoever uploaded this piece. Peace.

PRINCE MARKIE DEE

[ariesespo]

@prince1035 I had to dig deep into my collection to find this one Prince. But as you can see people still dig it, and for those who are first listening to it, it's a new Experience for them

[SpelmanJaguar06]

@prince1035 I love it!!!! I was a little young when this came out, but I miss music like this.

[guccikat6]

@prince1035 man you and corey was jamming takes me back to 14...so dope still

[avielgtb]

[eboneetv]

where in the world did hip hop go? damn shame!

[boogiewear]

[KWON138]

He represented as a Puerto Rican I give him that but he was not the first. Remember The Devastating Tito from The Fearless Four and Ruby Dee from Romantic Fantastic 5 MC'S came out way before him.

[stew127]

[IkeDiamonds]

God, I lost this CD, good to hear it again!

[brothersaid]

I thought this was Heavy D until the D.J. said it was Prince Markie Dee. It was tight! Back when brothers made RESPECTFUL hip hop songs!

[aubergine4444]

Ahhhhhh, memories of good music. I miss those days!

[enmaxus]

Early 90's rap music when it was good and not this ignorant ghetto crap they play today. I will always love this song and its message.

[poundckenoa]

The summer of 92. Seattle WA. I thought I'd never here this track again. ARIESESPO you reign "SUPREME" THANX again!

[bitterblackguy]

cd classic.......way ahead of its time!!! i still pump this in the whip.......92 was a good year.....big up to markie dee and cory roony....

[tbrent99]

Everyone says that PUN was the best P.R. MC.....WRONG....Markie Dee has that title even when he was with the Fatboys he was the frontman as Grand Puba was to the Brand Nubians.

[rediwhen]

I feel you and as far as the Latino Brothers go , the people act like they forgot about KID FROST!!

[swoody34]

This was the shit!! ur right dog. the woman singing really made it happen too. I loved her voice!! it rawks

[BeBorn7]

This is the SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeeJ2275]

WOW!!!!! I LOVED this song!!!!! I remember listening to this hanging out on Linden BLVD back in the day!!! Man...I miss these days!! Thanks for Posting!

[kimintacoma]

it surprises me this cut didn't do better, this reminds me of summer days in the mid 90's, dancing in the bathroom while gettin ready for work...ahhh memories! thanks for posting!

[alstan631]

This is probably one of the most slept on CD's of the 90's.

[bigal838]

What do you mean by " slept on " ?

[hallaprildiann]

I loved this song back in the day!!! You couldn't tell me nothing about this CD!! I would come home from school when I was in the 10th grade and blast the hell out of this song!!! Those were the days...

[VanDiesel242]

Man! Tell me about it. This Cd took me through a lot. This was the Jam the whole CD was bangin. It did get slept on big time!!!!!

[yobba949]

[TheVizionary]

I have to agree... I was one of the only people I knew with this CD..I couldn't get anyone to listen ..but it was sooo great..

[malimlebron]
