Lyrics:
(Come on)
(Come on baby)
(Yeah)
The ingredients for comin correct we select
On the set beats and rhymes that are both in check
Herby's behind the board cold gettin respect
We are Kid 'n Play in total effect
We're getttin funky, up to par
And that's with a hyped up beat just playin on the guitar
You'll feel the bass, it's soft and wet - yes, honey
You'll get a taste, but not just yet - right, money?
The beat is live, troop, so don't front on it
Get it while the getting's good and just jump on it
Minute by minute, yo, hour by hour
Kid 'n Play got soul power
We're gittin funky
We're not profilin, we're freestylin
Got you dancin in the aisle and, you be smilin
From ear to ear, let's make this clear, dear
Ridin the range on the rap frontier
Here, is where we stand by popular demand
Let's have a hand for the 4 man band
Other MC's in the dust trailin
We got quick on the horns just wailin around
So if you're feelin down we're gonna cure that
With the hyped up sound makin sure that
A troopers gonna say at the end of the night
That the boys were right and they rocked the mic
Gittin funky
Just call me Play I say, you gotta listen close
If you don't dance to this, then you're comatose
Cause I'm fierce, I'll pierce your soul
Step back, relax, Jack, watch the heads roll
A rhymin editor, competator competative
So hyper you're gonna need a sedative
Just take a hike on a bike when I'm on the mic
Told you I'm a cobra, I'm ready to strike
Administer, sinister, right, so savage
Axe to the wax, I'm gonna do damage
Like a volcano about to erupt
Get set, I'm gonna wind it up
I'm gittin funky
I see you standin with the dumb look on your face
Hey, if you came here to stand, you're in the wrong place
You got to move your feet so there's no doubt
Cause when I drop the beat it's time to work out
Onto the floor, let's start to go off
This ain't hardcore.. but yo, it ain't soft
You been throwin wack rhymes at me
Right 'n exact, I'm doin exactly
What I wanna do, and what you gonna do
Is clap your hands when I get in front of you
Hype beats and rhymes are the recipe
Yo man - don't even mess with me
We're gittin funky
A style that's bold, so cold that it'll freeze ya
Numb your mind, give ya amnesia
You'll forget why you ever stepped up to bat
You try to dis, hah, we'll have none of that
Listen to me, I'm known to please, gonna
Lift up the crowd like Hercules when I
I step to the stage the microphone I seize
And defy you to try and take it from me
Your brain must be numb if you think you got my number
Boy, you're just dumb and I think you're gettin dumber
To think that you could handle the Kid, ha-ha, just to dis
Yo, I'm the best at this
I'm gittin funky

we played this at christmas dinner and my sophisticated professional 53 year old father...had a flash back and started hitting all these moves so clean...our house went crazy!!!, man I didnt even know pops got down like that!
That's great, add more memories to the already many memories...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have done the same thing even at the country dance hall.. Sometimes they'll play hip-hop and some of those young kids who think they can dance start dancing and I'll go Slip the DJ a $10 bill so he can play this song and I f*** them up every time
I love this story!!!
48 years old and enjoyed every year of my teenage years with great hip hop like this!!
Me too
Word! We kicked it right, bro!
I’m turning 48 in Aug and still remember these dance moves. Of course, I quickly drop to my yoga mat afterwards 😂
88-89 was hip-hop culture at it's finest!!
Facts
They both could dance but Kid was straight glidin wit the moves
Yep...like 0:55 to 1:06 :) Just too great!
People slept on kid n play lyrically but they showcased their rhyme skills in this one,one of the dopest videos of all time,the "golden age" of hip-hop!!!
+Jahbril30 Amen
I agree. They had skills!
KING KUMARI I think Kid wrote most of their stuff
KING KUMARI people slept on them because there were so many other poets at that time ...krs 1,eric b,big daddy kane
KING KUMARI hell yeah you know it
They probably had one of the more underrated runs in hip hop history
@Mr.J And a Saturday morning cartoon too!
@Mr.J def not underrated. The house party movies pushed their popularity thru the roof at that time. The movies also added an R-rated element to their PG/PG-13 lyrics and image.
I wouldn’t say underrated they were HUGE 88-94
Some of things they were being called sell outs for most rappers and doing now
They brand was huge. 165 haters who don't know ish about the 90's real and lyrical rap💋💖
I'm loving that down south soul music
You could NEVER know how much I miss these days!!
Facts!!!
Am with you
Truly ☺️
Man u have no idea how I missed rap city watching this
Oh I know
No guns, no thugs, no police sweat'n Brotha's......just straight up block party fun.
Hell yeah I miss my children hood growing up we had block party and in the summer time in Brooklyn we have big apple games now it at the same anymore I miss the 80 and 90
Hour
"Brothas"
Exactly
Block parties were the best
The Best.....
Listening to this joint makes me reminiscence about the good ole' days when rap was about having fun. No guns, bling, hoes or drugs... just plain fun. I grew up during these times and miss it terribly. I was at most of the block parties in Brookly and what you saw in this video was typical of Brooklyn block parties.
YhwhKhaiMostHigh delusion is what over 40’s suffer from
That was the same era as 2 live crew and Nwa lmao
@@JTHEJUDGE bro we are not the same
@@freddiematthews5242 auto correct! Fixed it
@@Jadlotian STFU
Greatest thing about this video is that the kids dancing are from the neighborhood and not paid. They saw the video going on and started working out. Kid told the story and that's why it looks so natural.
You younglings probably think this sounds weak ....
But OUR generation was rocking this...
And after the 🎉 was over...
Everyone came 🏠 alive.
27yrs Later And Still The Jam!!
And Kid-N-Play still rockin' in 2021!!
"2 HYPE"!!
2021, still slaps so hard
Classic joint! This song came out when I was a sophomore in high school back when rap music was fun and about having a good time! One of my favorite rap songs EVER!
"Man, don't even mess with me. We're getting funky." 🤣😝
Kid n play to underrated.
Amazing. I'm 22 and vexed at how we lost this pure hip hop. I don't even use a radio anymore.
we all kinda hoping that your generation will watch- break the game down and re-infuse that energy back into hip hop- its all yours now...
Me either way 🤦🏿♂️
You're 28 now.
@@yendyvilma2681 damn
@@yendyvilma2681 lmao
I miss this era. Back then you weren't cool unless you could dance.
CrowdPleeza I try to explain that to the kids I work with today. I told them if you couldn't dance when I grew up you were considered soft. I'm still dancing , will be foreva dancing.
+CrowdPleeza and what fantastic dancing it is :)
Rite💪💪😎😎
Wondering wat that little girl is doing that was dancing.
Factzz
Possibly the best rap video of all time...pure joy and youthful happiness...no weave ..no fake jewerly.....I love it. ✊✊😎😎
No nasty porno looking girls. No mumbling rappers. Clean lyrics. Lots of good dancing and talent. Miss those days.
Right Sister
Oh god not this comment again
@Jordan Westall Too Short, Eazy E, NWA, etc etc
@@burgermind802 Yeaah
Facts
The good old days when rap was the real shit! Nothing but fun, fun, fun! Cool rhymes, cool hair, cool clothes, cool moves(and lots of it) so much energy and a lot more talent! Not always talking about money. mercedes, champagne, mansions, girls, nice threads, etc. way better than the stuff we hear today!
Great dynamic duo from back in the days. Of real Hip-Hop music.
I STILL KNOW THE DANCES 😂😅. DAMN I MISS THIS MAN.
Right
When Itz Time 2Dance Tro Sum Kid N Play,I Love Tha Dancing DOPE On a ROPE!!!
Younger generation don't know about this classic hip hop
I want the instrumental of this jam! The way they flip those samples are just bananas!💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Always thought Herbie didn't get enough credit for the production on this joint.
Here ya go my man
This one was recreated by the UA-camd.

Hurby love bug definitely did his thing on production.
How I miss these days!!! Hip hop was for real!!!
+Chadwick Reynolds Yes it was...
I must agree
Recognize the birth of a REAL HOUSE PARTY LOL LOVE IT!!!!
Knowledge & dancing, deadly combo.
This is when hip hop was....hip hop.
Take Me Back to The Real Hip Hop
This is New York hip hop what happened to them ? They stopped being created and started copying Los Angeles then the South no ones fault but theirs . FACTS
Just said that can’t listen to the new shit at all
Man shut yo lame ass up Lmaoo
This is so trash today’s hip hop is better than this bs. I’m checking this out only ‘cause Kid was recently on Vlad and I didn’t know who he was.
True hip-hop as it's finest!!
Yo man don't even mess with me, we gettin fuuuuunky!!!😆
Ice Cube
This is high school music to my ears!! It was released back in 88’ when I was 17 in high school 👍🏾😎
Wasn't born yet. I missed out on a great era
The first time I ever saw this video and I saw Kid N' Play standing next to each other at the beginning, and with the James Brown scratch, I knew this song was going to blow up.
I fux with your avatar... that John Stewart Green lantern is dope
Got all tha house party movies and albums slap to
HOUSE PARTY will always be a classic!!!
By far one of the dope videos of 88. Always watched this joint when it came on Rap City
Facts!!!! YO MTV Raps@4-Rap City@430 good ol days🥹
Those dance steps will never go anywhere.
This shit still bumps. Classic.
Best dance video ever, this is how we got down back n the day
Troop....video has best dance....
All day long working up a sweat on the dance floor!
I don't know man. People were also going off in this joint too:

Don't forget the video for "Dance for me " Queen Latifa
@@davidgiordano9734 I cannot forget that joint man!! That whole album was sick!
Give these boys they flowers we unappreciate these boys they hip hop pioneers
Men don't want flowers.
@@TheRealNewWhirledOrder....why you trolling here?
@@eternalyfeful "why are you trolling here?"
Why have you assumed that I'm "trolling"?
Are you trolling me?
@@eternalyfeful Are you a man?
Do you enjoy receiving flowers?
@@TheRealNewWhirledOrder ... it's clear you don't understand what that means, smh.... when we say "give someone their flowers" we're not talking about actual flowers, we're talking about giving them props/credit/respect/appreciation for what they do/did. See, you trolling and don't even know what we're talking about.
When a Kid & Play song was put on...dat got da basement party JUMPIN'! GOTTA dance!!! Wit EVERYBODY! Party over here!!!🥳🥳🥳
NO GUNS, NO DRUGS, NO VIOLENCE, AND NO TWERKING........ THE GOLDEN ERA!!!!!!!!!
You damn right
No hair weaves, NO BBL's, NO painted on faces, NO self degradation!!!
Are you crazy? This was the height of the crack epidemic and NYC was the murder capital.
All that happened back then
It did, however we had options to choose the type of hip hop and other music we listened to. Nothing but a good time being had in this video.
Kid & Play were the nicest dancers who could rap....that kick step was vicious...they stayed fresh dipped especially Play...in high school, he was my role model for fashion!
I don't care what anyone say Kid n Play could really spit🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
I jus played four bangers n a row. Kid n play was bring'n pressure in their era realshit.
The kids today can't fathom the fun , style, original beats & rhymes we had back then. Their mentality today is "that's what's working so I'll do it too"
OLD SCHOOL IS #1👊💯
I'm cheesing so hard watching this video. Everyone's creative doing there own thing and dance.
Real Hip Hop. This one is still a classic masterpiece. This was back when the labels show cased and promoted the artists. Rap videos were strong. The labels didn't have to promote the cars, jewelry, guns, and women.
Real Talent .
This song brings back great memories! This song and others made me realize why I stayed so damn skinny, our dances were workout routines, lol.
eekny turn I’m sayin’!!!
I was eight years old when this came out and couldn't wait to be grown to party like this. Now I am middle-aged, would do anything to go back to my youth. Life lol......
This was their coldest cut, it would pack the dance floor.
Crisp clean rhymes with tight dance moves! Real talent. No hiding lack of talent with cursing and jiggling asses! Maybe someday this style will return.
We'll see. ✌🏾

The late 80's to the early 90's definitely the dancing era of rap and R&B.
No talking about catching a body (they just caught bodies dancing) no N words, no cursing, etc..., etc....
Just having fun.
Just GOOD MUSIC 🔥 🔥 🔥
Ok Wu Tang Time!!
Damn these was the days
“Don’t even mess with me. We’re getting funky…” 😔
This was hip hop! Miss 87-88 -89 era
Kid N' Play = Groove Masters
Hip Hop was at its best when it had variety. You had party acts like Kid 'N Play and Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince you had political rappers, you had street rappers and you had more hardcore rappers. You had a choice in what to rock to. Now everything is all the same.
Facts!!!
Kid N Play was hard. We were checking for Kid N Play in the hood as kids.
These guys had guts with all the so called gangsta music about to kick off during this time.
Definitely a party starter back in the day.
Golden Era in full effect!
They tore shit down with this track. Let alone when the video was made. The energy mane!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Say what u want about them. They had some of the HARDEST beats on their jams!!
Who said anything bad about them?
@@gemini4lyfe3001 a lot of people, pussy ass kid and hoe ass play can suck a dong
Back when hip-hop had many different elements. Great times.
Summer 2023 and still slaps. The irony is I had this song in my head all week. Wow, life is funny like that.
They always had a nice combo of dance routines and rappin together. Of course there were others who were better rappers but it takes skill to do both so mad props.
I would rock the 2 hype t-shirts
Me too

yes sir
Right Now like it ain't nothing

My favorite rap and dance group. No one can touch the influence these guys had on me back in the days. They are the greatest!!!! #Kid'nPlay4ever #2Hype #GettinFunky
This is what hip hop is supposed 2 b having lots of fun fun and more fun i miss this era no fighting killing shooting just enjoying each other 🎤🎼🎶🙏😁💯💯

Ridin the range on the rap frontier

That the boys were right and they rocked the mic
Gittin funky
Just call me Play I say, you gotta listen close
If you don't dance to this, then you're comatose
Cause I'm fierce, I'll pierce your soul
Step back, relax, Jack, watch the heads roll
A rhymin editor, competitor competitive
So hyper you're gonna need a sedative
Just take a hike on a bike when I'm on the mic
Told you I'm a cobra, I'm ready to strike
Administer, sinister, right, so savage
Axe to the wax, I'm gonna do damage
Like a volcano about to erupt

Nothing like old school more talent

"Minute by minute, hour by hour/Kid & Play got Soul Power!"...The producer Hurby Luv Bug had that gift!

Right after they said soul power that dance sequence was fire!!
"Minute by minute, hour by hour... Kid N' Play got soul power"! ❄️
They had so much soul. I like they had the black and white cement Jordan 3s in this video too
When music was about moving the crowd! Just clean and fun with great dancing!
Truth. ✌🏾

The dudes dancing in that circle that was dope..
The beats were made to dance back in the day. I miss the parties. Everybody was dancing.
The dance sequence starting at 0:55 I must have watched well over one hundred times and tried to imitate it back when I was 16. lol
Your not alone

Just watch Vlad interview with Play, and he mention how the "kick step" came to be and it was inspired by the move at 2:42 ... Love Kid n Play!
