They was not doing nothing new when it came to stage presence.... Evidence of preexisting examples exits. Now as for the utilization of dancers talent in that respect at that time became huge. So what's left?.... Lyrics and instrumentals! 75% of the times the beats carry the song! The other 30% lyrics!........ Now. Knowing this all i can do is appreciate the organizers! Work done on stage and to promote the music. Nothing new under the Sun! It's about promoting, creating a certain vibe and rolling it out.
Yes, this was a beautiful sampling of Kraftwerk's 'Trans Europe Express.' Afrika Bambaataa and John Lydon doing Time Zone's 'World Destruction' is another masterpiece. It isn't electro, but Johnny Rotten doing a duet with Afrika Bambaataa was magical. The video was subversive as well.

@@TheFate23 dude its called innovation. John Robie, Arthur Baker and Bambaataa knew exactly what they were doing. Sort of like a homage to what Kraftwerk and funk artists brought to the masses.

and getting Bam's man meat rubbed up all over you it turns out.
I’m only 19 but when I was younger want to say 6 I did breakdancing and hip hop classes this song was a good one to breakdance to I know when I’m your age I’m going to feel the same I already do life’s too short
It is a futuristic dance piece it played in alot of big dance clubs across the city where I live in Toronto it is pretty repitive but it really keeps you moving .
Biggest song released that year. The energy released by the Soul Sonic Force just gets more powerful year after year. Props to the Bronx. NYC. The birthplace of Hip Hop.
I’m just an whitey pushing 60, in a small B.C. town…. I love this! I saw Public Enemy and Anthrax in Vancouver over 30 years ago. They did bring the noise and it was killer. Music is like the sky…it’s for all to love
I FOUND A MIX WITH SUGAR HILL, AFRICAN BAMBATTA, ETC. IT'S CALL HIP HOP OF THE 80S. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE IMAGE IS GRAND MASTER, DJ WITH VINYL ALBUM AND MIXER .
When I first heard this, it changed my life, as an East London kid in the early 80's. I was confused, expanded, hopeful. It was a feeling in me, that Aliens had descended and shared a music future. It was truly exhilarating.
benard felt the same as you albeit i'm from Newcastle. amazing especially on a walkman walking about the streets practice all week for the under 16s disco on friday

This goes out to my uncle who I loved dearly, he passed away after a battle with cancer and he loved the oldschool breakdancing beats from his childhood. FLY HIGH UNCLE JAY!
Idc what anybody says this song change the sound of music😍What a time to be a teenager🔥🔥 I was born on the right time for music evolution, 🔥🔥🔥 this generation will never know
Absolutely. Mull it over. Ponder that sentiment. Question. Critique. Try HARD to deny. Negate that ish, even. TRY to turn that TRUTH on its head. Look at it as if you were born in another decade, era. U end right at, “nope, I was a youth during the ZENITH OF AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC, and it permeates my psyche.” O and u could do u about five phd thesis’ FAT AND FILLED WITH THE FACTS SUPPORTING YOUR STATEMENTS.
The power this record had back in the day coming out of the speakers was just ridiculous giving me goosebumps again very special indeed..for me this decade and through to the 90's is when hip hop was at it's best it just to me had more funk and soul to it, it was just happier 🙏
This was one of the most important tunes to come out of the 80’s. They were the sound of the future. Still sounds dope in the 2020’s. An amazing track.
Incredible with Kraftwerk music in the background. Like this way of revisiting music, very innovative. Let's hip hop live another couple of 50 years and much more !
In the Backround? The beat is from the Kraftwerk Song Numbers and the Melody from Trans Europe Express. This is basically a mashup with 2 Kraftwerk songs
Sorry to burst ya'll bubble but hip hop is dead. I too was once in denial but I came out of it. When Hip Hop was established in the early 80's (not 70's because it wasnt established then) one of the goals was to steer the youth away from gang culture. Rap music today is dominated by gang culture(notice I said "rap music" because thats what we have now, Hip Hop is non existent). And thats just one example. I can give a list of reasons why Hip Hop is dead. When we watch old school videos like this all we are doing is reminiscing on when it was alive.
I adore Kraftwerk and read that AB used a sample of Trans Europe Express in his early work, and lo here it is, he's obviously a man of taste! Love old school 80s and 90s rap and hip hop, so very fly, funky and witty, and how they actually made the records took some sheer skill.

Where did you live ? I remember the 70s and the 80s was a wild era. You had to fight , dodge shootouts , and make sure your chain , sneakers, and jewelry were not taken.
The amount of views it has is unacceptable. Modern day hip hip, edm, rap, conerts;all of it, we owe so much to Afrika Bambatta for inventing the future of music
@@bobfreeze You meant we owe to Kraftwerk i guess, this track as well, is a remix of Abzug, a track from album Trans Europe Express, back in 1977. Not a secret, multiple times they have been credited by basically all that mattered, Bambaata included.
Made when music was so expensive to produce that it had to to have heart just to become a hit. Those guys put tremendous work in producing their art. These two groups are now icons and I'm grateful for their contributions to our culture. 🙏
So thankful to be a teenager who grew up and experienced the best generation ever. The kids today missed out on so much amazing music, battle of the djs, and breakdancing at it’s height of popularity.
Take solace in the fact that since this music has been recorded it can be enjoyed for generations to come. I guarantee you there are Gen Z'ers and Millennials (me) that love this track and others like it. As for breakdancing at it's height you are correct but there were kids who did breakdancing at my high school still when I graduated in 2000.
I beg to differ I grew up off the golden age and late to early 2000s and I must say from rakim kool.g rap juice crew to mob style the wu biggie nas mobb deep lox etc I experienced some the most skillfully bar fo bar lyricism ever recorded while most of the late 70s early mid 89s sounds very party oriented and dare I say repetitive minus run dmc L.L t larock to name a few don't get me wrong mc flash the message or whodinis friends is good I just don't tjink prope appreciate the golden era as much as they should tbh too bambata being a closeted homosexual and alleged sex offender really makes me view tjis video in a very disturbing manner
@@wilsonfisk4741 I hear ya. I guess because to was the soundtrack for my teen years it meant so much to me. I’m glad younger generations are still getting the same experience I did. Watching it from the very beginning is something you can’t replace though.
Looking back, it was awesome growing up during this wave. At the time I didn’t think of it as anything really special. Hip Hop was everywhere all the time where I grew up.
@@Plexpara This was an era of New York's greatness from the 70s through the early 90s giving the world music, fashion, nightlife, and not to mention the creativity of the New York art world. Don't know where you are from or if you lived this era and I really don't care. I DON'T THINK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD YOU MIXED ELECTRO WITH HIP-HOP during the time
I'm a bit too old and broken down, but any dance class for hip hop or break dancing really needs to use this. If you're teaching a new generation use the songs that started it off.
TENHO 47 ANOS E NO INICIO DOS ANOS 90 DANCEI MUITO HIP HOP E ESSA ERA A MELHOR A GALERA PIRAVA IA AO EXTASE QUANDO CHEGAVA A VEZ DE TOCAR ELA . HOJE SÓ TEM PORCARIA LIXO QUE TENTAM JOGAR EM NOSSOS OUVIDOS ...
I don't think people understand and appreciate the creativity that was utilized at the beginning of Hip Hop.

Nothing new under the Sun! It's about promoting, creating a certain vibe and rolling it out.
Hip Hop originals never received fully due credit for their innovation in music.
This is not the beginning.
I lived it. Spent time watching breakdance competitions. It was a good vibe for a white guy in 1985.
Electro music is overlooked in the hip hop and techno world. It was the begining but the documentarys never mention it. Electro forever.
Word, Dr Dre is a good example of that. Before his g-funk rap he did a lot of electro.
@@ronperez784 yea world class wreckin cru was electro all the way. Electro was bass music back in the day. Im a sucker for it. LOL

@@bobfreeze You meant we owe to Kraftwerk i guess, this track as well, is a remix of Abzug, a track from album Trans Europe Express, back in 1977. Not a secret, multiple times they have been credited by basically all that mattered, Bambaata included.
The good ole days. ❤
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE OLD SCHOOL
Still sounds really good, that bassline and at the time this stuff was so groundbreaking.
Love the b boy clips in the video too.
A genre was born.
bruh as sumone who makes beats.... i just now realized how ahead of time this song is!!!!!!!!! this track is Crazy!!!
Riot in Lagos. Ryuichi Sakamoto RIP
Beat is actually from the Kraftwerk song "Numbers". The synth is from the Kraftwerk song Trans Europe Extress.
Olha a qualidade dos caras...sensacional! Atitude, Cultura e Talento...
Made when music was so expensive to produce that it had to to have heart just to become a hit. Those guys put tremendous work in producing their art. These two groups are now icons and I'm grateful for their contributions to our culture. 🙏
..... THIS RECORD IS, "STILL", HOT TO THIS DAY, "MY GOODNESS"
This song will go down in musical history as a classic like Beethoven's 5th Symphony...one of, if not the original rap cut that birthed Hip Hop
These are the real breakers that didn't get to go to the olympics
So thankful to be a teenager who grew up and experienced the best generation ever.
The kids today missed out on so much amazing music, battle of the djs, and breakdancing at it’s height of popularity.
Take solace in the fact that since this music has been recorded it can be enjoyed for generations to come. I guarantee you there are Gen Z'ers and Millennials (me) that love this track and others like it. As for breakdancing at it's height you are correct but there were kids who did breakdancing at my high school still when I graduated in 2000.
Well they can still listen to it, I am 20 and still listen to this banger
lol
I beg to differ I grew up off the golden age and late to early 2000s and I must say from rakim kool.g rap juice crew to mob style the wu biggie nas mobb deep lox etc I experienced some the most skillfully bar fo bar lyricism ever recorded while most of the late 70s early mid 89s sounds very party oriented and dare I say repetitive minus run dmc L.L t larock to name a few don't get me wrong mc flash the message or whodinis friends is good I just don't tjink prope appreciate the golden era as much as they should tbh too bambata being a closeted homosexual and alleged sex offender really makes me view tjis video in a very disturbing manner
@@wilsonfisk4741 I hear ya. I guess because to was the soundtrack for my teen years it meant so much to me. I’m glad younger generations are still getting the same experience I did. Watching it from the very beginning is something you can’t replace though.
“It’s like a ufo landing in the ghetto” 😂👌🏼
yup yup yup phenomenal!!!!

@Frank DeFalco why you commenting on it then!

Aye my Sri Lankan brother!🇱🇰❤️
Yessir... 2021 in march.. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The footage said it all Everybody was dancing together no fighting & especially no GUNS!
Looking back, it was awesome growing up during this wave. At the time I didn’t think of it as anything really special. Hip Hop was everywhere all the time where I grew up.
This was when NYC was at its best-delivering music to the world
When MTV was the dopest thing on the planet, had it on whole days, listening to the newest drops of the era.
this music came from the world to NYC.
its just a mashup of 2 kraftwerk songs
@@Plexpara I think we all know its Kraftwerk
@@pepsiq11965 so you know your first comment was wrong? nice thx
@@Plexpara This was an era of New York's greatness from the 70s through the early 90s giving the world music, fashion, nightlife, and not to mention the creativity of the New York art world. Don't know where you are from or if you lived this era and I really don't care. I DON'T THINK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD YOU MIXED ELECTRO WITH HIP-HOP during the time
OMG forgot all about but this was epic back in the day , needs a ten hour version !
Raygun done her best, let her express herself! Brilliant Bambaata! UK 🇬🇧
sure, but not at the olympic games
Back here Dec 2020...
This Joint Never gets old for me!
Facts!!!!
Beat is Awesome😎
I'm a bit too old and broken down, but any dance class for hip hop or break dancing really needs to use this. If you're teaching a new generation use the songs that started it off.
Raygun sent me here...we going for gold
Same here.

Ok Pop Pop Got Some Flavor In His Blood ✊🏾
Sem palavras pra esse grupo fora de serie,epoca maravilhosa...!!
Este é o verdadeiro funk do final dos anos 70 e início dos anos 80: música dos guetos negros americanos que era um protesto contra o racismo.
As a kid this was bangin!!
Pessoal aqui do Brasil tem que escutar muito essa música... Pra entender de uma vez por todas, o que é funk de verdade!!!
real!

Isso é funk se ver não essas baixaria que cantam

This group paved the way for a lot of singing groups.
Brings back memories at the skating rink. When they played this you knew jam skating was about to go down
Game changer.. I remember exactly where I was when I 1st heard this, Ravenscourt Park, Shepherds bush west london eary 80's....
