My uncle was a DJ in the 80s and his bedroom was right next to mine. Got my first taste of hip hop hearing Tommy Boy records, Gucci Crew, and Rodney O n Joe Cooley!
that's why I liked the song. I'm from that Everlasting Bass era.... Mr Magic was what we played when you wanted to test out your car subwoofers at the shop
First heard "Everlasting Bass" on KDAY... and had it on a Roadium mixtape with so many other great songs of the time. When I tell you "Everlasting Bass" is in my top 5 West Coast songs, believe it. I will run it back each and every time I hear it. Peace to Rodney O, Joe Cooley, and RIP General Jeff. Yeaaaaaaah, boy!
Thank you Sway in the Morning. Rodney O love you bro. Rodney O & Joe Cooley my living legends in West coast Hip-hop and Hip Hop in general. So glad the recognition is coming full circle man dang this is really awesome. God bless you all with much love ❤ Sincerely this is appreciated, Joe
The Late Great DJ Cameron Paul broke Rodney O and Joe Cooley in the Bay Area back in the day. He used to mix a lot of their jams in his mixes on record/radio and in the clubs. Rodney O and Joe Cooley were huge in the Bay Area. Cameron Paul was my first introduction to these guys.
As soon as I heard "Like That" it took me back to Rodney O. & Joe Cooley. I never knew Joe Cooley was from Compton either. I always thought L.A. It's good to see a West Coast pioneer still with us. 💪🏾 He was definitely being played in Detroit.💯
Rodney O has been sampled many many times. Especially with the lyric "Baaasss" from Everlasting Bass and "Are you ready, Yeah!" from "Your Chance to Rock"
There was a record store in Inglewood CA on Market street back in the day. I remember being in that store when Rodney and Joe Cooley were buying a bunch of records.
You must be from the 90's era. Riverside and Rubidoux area. I'm having trouble remember the clubs, that were off of Chicago in Riverside and the other around the corner off of University Ave. right next to Baker's
All of us from the IE remember da Metro. Most cracken club in the 90s. We had people from LA to the bay and Vegas come thru our town. And yes, most people were parking lot pimpin.
Also if anyone know about the finger waves history Rodney put it on the map and it spread like a wildfire in the Bay Area Oakland California Richmond Sacramento
The OG finally getting his flowers 🔥🔥🔥
Rodney O and Brother Marquis had a group called "Caution Crew" back around in 1983. One of the first West Coast rap groups.
For reals? Any of their music out there?
Rodney O made me want to get Finger Waves back in the day when i lived in Compton

If you wanna know the origins of “Bass Music” look into groups like Mantronix, Original Concept & records like Run DMC ( Together Forever ).
He's the first westside connection. Their album said F New York. Who do you know on the West Coast had a album cover like that?

“Me and Joe on the go, moving fast not slow. Sporting Filas and Adidas and summer Cangols..”
Yes that was like second rap songs I remember lyric for lyric
Legendary Hip-Hop producer Marley Marl. Said that he invented bass music. When he was in Miami in the early 80's. That's a fact.
Gratitude.
Overlooked song is * MISS CRENSHAW * ‼️‼️‼️
Rodney O and DJ Quik look alike by the eyes.
Important group besides nwa that represented LA west coast
Also if anyone know about the finger waves history Rodney put it on the map and it spread like a wildfire in the Bay Area Oakland California Richmond Sacramento
Pressed up records at Macola records in 1980's.
Inland Empire Cali legend
Could not say u were into HipHop in the late beginning if u didn’t know Rodney O & Joe Cooley!
I wonder what was Rodney & Joe's split on the royalties & publishing because if Joe was left out that would be catastrophic.
Lil Flip had a classic freestyle to Everlasting Bass!! We blow indo freestyle
❤❤❤❤❤that's my favorite screw lil flip song
Anyone know who makes Sway's beanie?
Rodney O & Quick need to do a DNA test. They gotta be brothers or first cousins! ❤
How Sway didn't know 2 Live Crew is from Cali and Luke took them to Miami later on?
