Thank you for documenting my favorite era of hip hop
I'm so glad the funky four is getting their props!
Dope! Thanks for sharing. Hip Hop Don’t Stop
Thank you so much brotha Jay Quan for all of ur knowledge and wisdom peace and blessings like Nas said One Love
"That's The Joint" is one of my favorite funky rap tracks of all time! It's the joint!
Yes indeed
I remember when this came out I was in elementary school and my teacher taught us the word FAD and its definition, comparing it to "rap", saying it will come and go. I remember feeling so angry and refusing her statement to myself saying that this feeling it gave me will last forever!
41 years later... WE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT!!! ✊🏾
They were calling it a "fad" until 1990!! I remember my freshman year in college campus, I was in a dorm lounge watching Yo MTV Raps and this guy sitting next to me said rap will fade away soon. LOL! Adorable.
The Greatest rap group ever funky 4+ one no one’s even close
‘Sha-Rock’ is top five most technologically sound MC in hip hop history.
Til this day.
She’s slept on, because she’s a female.
But actually, she was the best MC in the group. 💥💥💥💥💥💥
An awesome insight on this band I followed from the early 80s
I was attending elementary Catholic school (2nd grade to 4th grade) during this era, riding on the school bus when these records were coming out. Some kids would ask the bus driver to play these rap cassette tapes borrowed from older siblings. For every rap song the bus driver played, he would play gospel music afterwards the cleanse his pallet I guess!!
From looking up the God rakim I found this site love old school hip-hop documentaries this fly as hell the foundation rocks
Bro thank you again so much for this lesson!
The best Hip Hop group of all time... Especially Sha Rock, her voice is the Hip Hop Punk Rock.
Thanks bro. I appreciate u being a man not only a historian of vast knowledge and thorough, humble research. U deserve this acknowledgement. Real Talk 💯👌🏻
I really liked your vid and must say I see Keith Keith from time to time I have him as a costumer on my NYC transit bus he looks the same and we Convo about his time and the hip hop industry I wish they can get together again to build new memories!

Amazing history... Jaquan, you killing it out here on this internet Hip-Hop shit. Kraze from Industry Muscle is a far 2nd place.
Wow. Thank you for the kind words bro. Peace and Respect...
daddy o, said that Rakim told a not tell the truth about "It's Not Where ur From but Where ur At". That is the main reason that you can meet other people in different States and find out that they are 'Legit'as well. And that ur from NY, NJ, DC don't bust a grape! And what has he done!!!
Us Girls was my favorite part about Beat Street. Go girls!

@@TheFoundationhiphop Can you do Skinny Boys (the true human beat box)
Sha Rock is my favorite female rapper of all time.......She was dope on the echo chamber......The first lady of jip hop!
Lots of these people was teenagers. They did not know nothing about the music industry. The black elders of the music industry did not protect them at all. Many of them took advantage of their ignorance. This was a great group who should have been much bigger.
Salute
The First Generation right here!
Hip HOP DONT STOP
That song think about it is this were special Ed got this idea for his song think about it
THANK YOU
DJ Baron DJ Breakout
amazing video hip hop really use to be so dope and positive back in the day unlike today's so called rap music that do nothing but degrade themselves and black people 24/7 and constantly disrespect the pioneers of hip hop. I can't stand today's so called hip hop at all is not even hip hop is pop even the beats of today's is very digital and artificial sounded it doesn't have the warmth and rawness like it had way back then everyone nowadays rely beats on a computer is sad.
Totally agree. Thanks for looking
The Foundation you welcome
Yep but try tellin ' these people on thier 20's that. They dont wanna hear it
Abraham Palmer thats the biggest problem with modern rap or hiphop, the beats have no warmth, "oomph", or soul. It's lifeless.
although i disagree about the positive messages argument. The old school was still talking about drugs and sex. They just did it with more skill and talent.
Back on February 14th 1981. On Valentine Day the hip hop group was the appear on national live television and to have a graffiti on back of their clothes.
Why did everyone leave Enjoy?
As far as Barz Go it was better then Rappers delight
With the Deuce first doing, "Think About It" should they get something from Special Ed for using their Hook? 🤷🏾♂️IJS
I see it Michael grandmaster flash n raheem I watch it bae
Double trouble(wylde style)
