Doug E. Fresh, Special Ed, WU damn!!!

[cjjaxxon]

@thatman234 ...and somebody named J&G I believe.

[cjjaxxon]

@thatman234 Correction!! Just found out! It wasn't "J&G", it was "Rock N Gee" Got to Get Some. It came out in 1987.

[thatman234]

@cjjaxxon dig deeper. Doug used the beat. I'm listening to it right now!!!

[thatman234]

@cjjaxxon check Doug E. Fresh's everybody got to get some 1986

WILBUR "BAD" BASCOMB - THIS MUST BE HIS 1972 "BLACK GRASS MUSIC" LP CUT; I HAVE IT ON 7" AT 2:43. GREAT CLASSIC UNDERGROUND TRACK WITH QUIRKY INSTRUMENTALS AND FAB BREAK & THE HORNS AT THE END ARE WORTH WAITING FOR! - THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS GEM - DAVEDJ

[hbarber]

What made records like this so f..kin kool was laying for the break part so you could bust out your best dancin move. LOL. The crowd would get hype when those funky drums kicked in, yo

[DjDedan]

I pretty much remember the whole song was played in a jam, or at least most of it it wasn't just the drum break, but the guitar riff at the start would get the 135th street Y HOPPING... this is back in the mid 80's... needless to say this is one of my favorite cuts of all time - in it's entirety... unedited.

[MelvinWren]

i think the break starts at like 1:40 right?

[ewms32]

black grass come on git sum!! uptown 125th st !!

[DjDedan]

@ewms32 YES! First time i heard this joint was at those parties at 135th street Y. UPTOWN!!!

[Harlemheat69]

@DjDedan

Yessir, my dude. Me and my crew used to be up in the Mike N' Dave sponsored YMCA parties on Fridays and always in the circle tossing in up like a chef's salad, ha. Beats like this always got it poppin' and only the brave, skilled and newly learned could jump in the Cipher and break it down! Uptown Forever!!!

[DjDedan]

@Harlemheat69 oh shit! You all were killing it!! And were an inspiration to me as I was learning to smash in the circles. Those were the days! People don't know what they missed! Magical times.

[UTBigVic]

where is the RZA 'its yourz' sample?

[superstaronrocs]

@UTBigVic sometimes u have to split speaker channels i.e. split each side but recieve one

[DrBrie]

@UTBigVic

the drums at 1:40

[FriendlyWalrus]

@UTBigVic its in the drum beat

[MRshraaf]

@UTBigVic If you play this tune backwards you might hear it , I think !

[thatunit995]

@UTBigVic yea but its not the sample whats used throughout the song, that is sing sing by gaz

[yohanntimban]

@UTBigVic maybe on the drum beat

[weaselbee76]

First time heard this was @ my boy P.T. Disco house... we were gettin F@## up... and started cuttin it in 1/4's

[Gunnercv]

yee hah!

[renaissance383]

Does anyone have " Give a Taste to the Bass" also by Wilbur?

[cjjaxxon]

I'm looking for a song by somebody named "J and G" who sampled this. I believe the name of their song was "Come and Get Some". Doug E Fresh used this song too.

[bboyfaya]

@cjjaxxon isnt "special ed- hoedown" ?

[cjjaxxon]

I don't know. I haven't heard that one.

[cjjaxxon]

Ok. I just played it. I never heard that before but it ain't the one I'm lookin' for.

[hbarber]

Was the party jam in Brooklyn, NY. Heard it on DJ Cameron Flowers badass sound system: Club Future Shock-The New World. And at Empre Roller Rink.

[DjDedan]

@hbarber word they were dropping this in brooklyn, damn i thought it was an uptown classic... welp there you go!

[DJRobJ]

as used by many, mainly Tim Dog's "F*** Compton"

[nptrock]

[streetclothes326]

[thatunit994]

[mld72mld]

[jplus1]

[johmaka2707]

I was leaving Vietnam when this jam came out. I have been looking for the album for years. I am delighted!

[mi777ke777]

Special Ed - Hoe Down sampled this. Cool track.

[spellerlittlewing]

[nyctim1]

Yeah, Baby!

This is one of the orginal jams that you would use "two of them" for the beginning, middle & end to get an "Old School Party jumping!

Everybody, Got to Get some!
