Doug E. Fresh "I-Ight"

The first human beatbox in the rap world, and still the best of all time, Doug E. Fresh amazed audiences with his note-perfect imitations of drum machines, effects, and often large samples of hip-hop classics. Fresh was born Doug E. Davis in Barbados, and his first appearance came in 1983 on a single for Spotlight called "Pass the Budda," with Spoonie Gee and DJ Spivey. His introduction to most hip-hop fans, though, came one year later with his astonishing performance in Beat Street behind the Treacherous Three. His first solo features also came in 1984, with "Just Having Fun," waxed for Enjoy, and "Original Human Beatbox" for Vinentertainment.

THIS WAS TRULY WHEN THE SECOND HARLEM RENAISSANCE WAS IN FULL SWING!I remember traveling way up town to hang with the pretty boys and hip hop! at the time Brooklyn was being ruled by dance hall reggae in the clubs. So, you had to travel uptown to dance to the latest rap jams. When a dj uptown would play this song you know the party was in full effect. I-IGHT!

[Ohcanada28]

Ah yes, this is the song the brought the world the word "i-ight"....then later changed to "aight" because people got tired of adding the extra " i " in the beginning. Hard to believe till this very day I still here people using this word.
