@juanmooreknight WRONG!!!!!!!!!!.......A GROUP CALLED FREEDOM WROTE AND RECORDED THIS SONG FOR MALACO RECORDS IN 1979......GRANDMASTER FLASH SAMPLED THIS SONG FOR THEIR FIRST MILLION SELLER "FREEDOM" IN 1980, THEN THE WEST STREET MOB COVERED IT FOR THEIR ALBUM A YEAR LATER.......GET THE INFO RIGHT!

Sorry folks, the original was done by a band called Freedom, as always Sylvia just rehashed old joints
-
KRS-One Also sampled this in the track You Must Learn. Great Song.

This is the original recording by the West Street Mob, later an instrumental dub was used by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five Tilled "Freedom", on Sugarhill and Enjoy Records. GMF & Furious 5, Sugarhill Gang, The Love Bug Starsky, and several other Hip Hop acts used the West street Mobs instrumentals to Rap on.

back in the days when rap was called fun rap and not all about drugs,pimps,hoes and prostitutes.poplocking,breakda
ncing and the lightning bolt were the moves at the time. -
i thought this song was by freedom



Yes underestimated indeed. I knew 'Breakdance electric boogie' from the start, thx to YT I am learning so much more about my favorite music of those days and even music I never heard before. Like this gem.
I think I recognize a part of this tune being used by Grandmaster Flash for one of his own early partysongs?
