This was/is one of my favorite instrumental songs created during my lifetime! During the 1970's there was Scorpio, Summer Madness, Theme From S.W.A.T. & Was Dog A Doughnut? I love instrumental songs! Around 1996, SEX was another instrumental song which I enjoyed. It's by a trio called: The Necks! But when it came to Whodini, they had some great songs, but this one was the best to me!
You're lyrical geniuses, Prophetic, actually with truth to word! And your songs 🎵 will have a generational affect! Thanks for sharing/posting @WhodiniVevo. Listening still 03/30/2021, #RIPJohnEcstacyFletcher
The official opening theme for Video Music Box with your host "Uncle" Ralph McDaniels. Now twice weekly; early Friday mornings at 2:30 am, early Sunday morning at Midnight on WNYE-TV/25.
Reminds me of the time when electro was starting to get big in England - I hadn't passed my driving test yet when this came out but my mate had and he used to have this on one of the cassettes in his car. 1982/83 amazing years to be young.
Creative Uplift: To the North East South and West world wide. God is good all of the time. So on this beautiful day of the Lord Jesus Christ ❣️ and God 2024. May the blessings of heaven continue to shine upon you and yours. Amen 🙏. RQQ 🌹😘🌹✨. So mote it be ✝️.
The Drumbeat of 5 minute the is sounds great and I would like hear the exclusive Drumbeat of INTRUMENTAL hit o 5 minute the Funk for mm a 15 minute limit!
Video Music Box (VJ Ralph McDaniels). I only saw his face a few times during video music box music box when it was on TV back when I was 14 years old (about 1991) But in the year 2002 when I was working in the Morgan Stanley building on 47th Street and Broadway in Manhattan as an in-house courier, I entered an elevator with two other men walking ahead of me.... ...As we got in the elevator, we all turned turned around to face the door. And when I heard one of the men speak I knew that voice immediately! I turned around and did a quick glance and it was ,in fact, VJ Ralph McDaniels. I didn't say a word. But I still cannot believe the coincidence to this very day. (Also, I didn't listen to a lot of rap music back in the day. So I always wondered where this beat came from when I would hear it on video music box as the opening theme. Believe it or not, I didn't find out where the beat came from until about 2018 when I happened to come across this song by accident, go figure :-)
Cadê a galera do Brasil que curtia (e ainda curte) essa sonzera do Whidini? Eu tinha esse disco e o Back is Black. Melhor grupo de Rap que existiu, na minha opinião.

When, "OUR," music had meaning, don't get me wrong...we had gangsta rap at the same time this group was around, but music exc's, thought it was better to promote our darker ways.....expose how hard life is for us, in those days. The killing was better for for profits for them, the drug slanging was more of a money bag, so music promoted gangsta. Which has evolved into something horrible in today's times. I hope they are satisfied, cause our ppls have lost the greatest expression of positivity we have given the world ...that's our music
Nice track. Rip Larry Smith, underatted producer and bass player. He produced many hip hop classics (Sucker MC, It's like that, RUN DMC first album, kurtis Blow Christmas Rappin, the Breaks, etc. Larry Smith is the guy playing the bass in RUN DMC Rock box video.

We all came here for that dope ass baseline 💯
I was just about to comment about that. I love that bass guitar line throughout the song. It really hits.
Reminds me of Cameo. The bass line is just tough af. I could listen to it in a loop all day.
I thought I was going to hear a synthesizer solo near the end. That would have been cold with that bass line and the chimes.
Classic!!!even in 2024 Thank you Whodini
Forty years later from 1984 with that funky ass baseline I got to flow/Funky ass beat vibratin' the concrete, pop-lockers and breakers dancin' to the beat/ Yessss! Sirrrrrrr!

A super class beat anybody agree? RIH rapper "E"!!!
Now the party didn't start till I walked in
And I probably won't leave until the thing ends
But in the mean time, the in between time
If you work your thing, then I'll work mine
We came here together so we could have fun
Me and you baby, goin one on one
Now this is the last chance for us to get off
So either get loose, or you aught to get lost
Cause I'm just about ready to do my thing
Cause I'm the stone cold, New York, Rap Machine
I'm 'a give you what I got, and baby that's plenty
You'll never have one that rocks so many
I'm 'a make you wet and make you sweat
Just to see how funky you can get
Now when I'm on the mic, I do serve well
And I go by the name of the Rapper Jalil
*Four minutes left*
Now sit back, relax, put on your head gear
Get ready for a trip through the Atmosphere
Gonna take you for a ride through the Twighlight Zone
I don't need a space ship, I use my microphone
So hold on tight, with all your might
Cause Ill be rappin like this for the rest of the night
Its Jalil y'all, your master rapper
And when I'm on the mic its a sheer disaster
Cause MC's crumble when we rumble
Some think I'm soft just because I'm humble
So all you MC's, I hope you're real good listeners
Cause in this battle, I'm takin no prisoners
I'm slayin MC's right on the spot
Cause I'm the the master of the Rap, the doctor of the Rock
The Jack of all Trades, The Master of One
And the thing I'm at, is called havin fun
We got three minutes left to rock this funk
To separate the good stuff from the junk, so
Get in the groove, and feel the sound
And once you're inside, spread yourself around
From the bottom to the top, the top to the bottom
Come on Master Dee, get funky while we got em
*three minutes left*
Me and my partner, from the start
We usually get together, after dark
Sometimes to rap, Sometimes to sing
In the Summer or the Winter cause it ain't no thing
And ever since I first came round
Side by Side, We'd throw down
We came here to this here place
To serve you all right to your face
Because this jam here is our show stopper
We didn't want to do it but I guess we gotta
We're the men of the hour, makin the ladies scream and holler
To hot to trot, To sweet to be sour
I'm gonna set the record straight
And I hope that it is not too late
If you want the best, I won't settle for less
Put your money on me, I'm your best bet
Come on,
One for the treble
Two for the Bass
Three for the ladies
Four for the plaid
Five, minutes of funk, this ain't no junk
So pull your bottom, off the tree stump
Ladies real pretty, from city to city
But now we're gettin down to the nitty gritty
From the bottom to the top, the top to the bottom
I'm gonna rock em, while I still got em
Our rappin shower has style and power
And this, is our disco hour
I don't know what all of you have heard
So its up to me to spread the word
About the man that we feel has got to be real
Our crowned Prince on the wheels of steel
He goes by the name of Grandmaster Dee
So if its alright with you, its alright with me
We gonna rock you people's minds with ease
With some help from the Maestro, if you please
*one minute left*
*Im sorry, your five minutes are up, please begin your ending, or your volume
will be terminated*
Gangsta baby
