@lytsac1 I was almost in the same state you were in... but I didn't grow up to this song, though I had put it on tape long ago, (maybe 14) , thanks to the radio. The tune was one of the many "unknown obscure funk"-labeled tunes that time had concealed in a corner of my room. I like when I find these gems by pure chance, so I can put some faces on them.

They look like the gang, The Boppers, from the movie and video game "The Warriors"......I hear they're a real heavy set

@EitherEndofAugust. well greens is in reference to marijuana and chicken is in reference to hookers. aint greens in harlem is basically saying the guy cant cut a deal. when he cant get his thc fix he thinks he'll pass the time with the trim of a nice young broad down on the avenue but when he actually gets there, there all busy or holidaying in the bahamas. hope that explains it

"WHAT!? No chicken in Harlem?!" *Cries* I love the GASSSP after that cry. :D
Can't stop loving this song, man! I can't listen to this and just sit still. I gotta move! Believe me, you don't wanna see that! :p

perhaps my all time favourite funk track this. not only is the energy so funky, but i just love the way they have hidden messages for marajunna and prostitutes in this song. absolute classic

(lol) Sound like something comedian J. Anthony Brown would sing.
Nice groove.
'the rats got there before i did' i know how this guy feels. aint no greens in north oxford either, lots of mice though not rats!
