YYOOOO ..i'm 54 yrs old used to listen to this on my sony walkman on a cassette that i recorded from the Mr Magic show on WHBI at 1 o'clock in the morning before he went to WBLS 105.9 on the train after school in BRIGHTON BEACH ( GRADY HS ) on my way to work at WENDYs on 14st UNION SQUARE ... all you ol skool hiphop heads know what i'm talking about ..dont live NY no more left 6 yrs ago .live in GA now ..BUT I'LL ALWAYS BE FROM BROOKLYN REPRESENT 718 4EVA ..!!!!
Waited 2 weeks for this to come on the radio on the after school rap attack with my tape on pause so I could record it... When I got on the bus the next day with my boom box I was the man when I rocked it!
When This Song Back In January 1986 On WBAU In New York, Then Going To The Apollo Theater To See RUN-D.M.C. And Watching Them Perform The Song “Raisin' Hell" Over The Instrumental To This Song Before The Album Was Released!!!
the 3 thumbs down gotta be 90s or 00s babies, because those of us old enough to remember this or the masta ace song know that it was phat then and its still phat now.
underground when ALL hiphop was underground. remember the first time played: "this is a mr magic world-premeire...world premeire" make hiphop great again! peace
Continue to R.I.P. Mr. Magic I used to switch between Rap Attack on 107.5 and Kiss Mastermix 98.7 with Red Alert and Chuck Chillout, even WLIB on the AM dial with Special K and Teddy Ted with the cassette recorder on standby!!
On the real, Strong Island was churning out some serious shit from '86 to '94. They gotta be the most slept on area on the hip hop map next to Staten Island.
L.I. wasn't slept on. Each time we shouted out the five boroughs we threw Long Island in there and called it strong because it was so influential at the time.
@@o.p.7619 Brother, sorry if my verbiage wasn't accurate. All I know is that you all pushed the culture really hard. Pound for pound, every artist that put something on wax from Nassau or Suffolk came and repped NEW YORK like it was supposed to be repped.
BS...........LI got MORE respect then SI.........it wasn't until WU came out we got respect! The Force MC's were first then my homeboys UMC came but until WU...........ALL the boroughs $H !t on us.
@@roundtown1769 yo fam, I hate to say it.....but you right. Not only did we sleep on y'all,but, you right....we did shit on Staten Island. It was fucked up.
15 y/o in 1986 Started the 10th grade that year at Berkeley High Busted the "Whop", the "Reebok" and the "Prep" to this joint at the house party jams Tried to buy this single when it was out but bought "Pump that Bass" by mistake Back then I was inclined to buy a single, unheard, just because it a Def Jam label. Don't think I've heard this since my sophomore year, so I smooth never realized Masta Ace sampled it.
That's how I was at the record shop... Anything that had a "Def Jam", "Tommy Boy", "Fresh" or "Cold Chillin" label on it I was coppin. It was, a given for me.
Thank God for UA-cam. This song has been in my head. I have not heard this since '86. I typed in Knowledge me and it came up. Now can some one tell me what this song is about. One of the voices sounds like the guy talking with LL on "That's a Lie"....
Been looking for it Spotify. No luck. Brings back memories of the 80s. Here in Dallas, we had to listen to hip hop hour on a local community radio station to hear this stuff. That, or you had to know a good DJ at school; because the mainstream radio didn’t play this kind of hip hop.
I never knew Dr. Dre and Ed Lover was in the rap group Original Concept I used to play this song on my Cousin's turn tables he taught me how to mix and blend records. I still bump the shit out this song.
Ed Lover was never on a Concept recording. That’s Doctor Dre from Westbury, Long Island and my boy Tyrone "T-Money" Kelsie, Rapper G, Easy G, and Wildman Steve.
This brings back college radio memories. You never knew what you were going to get when you opened that package of 45's from the record companies. OC had a pretty good album, "Straight from the Basement of Cooley High," but for some reason only the intro of this track was put on it.
This should be the only Google search result for "Songs to test headphones with." I remember this like yesterday even though it was from my high school days. It popped into my head randomly...so glad I found it.
Watched Uncle Buck (John Candy RIP) today they used it for the Golfball scene where he hits the kid Bug. However, there wasn’t any credit when credits roll. Never knew this was a Sample for Born To Roll. 🤯
Dammmmmm!! i completely forgot about this one. I remember when my brother would be at school i would sneak in to his music collection and jam to this stuff.
I lived in Canada when i first heard that song whith my best Friend Cristian.Today 24/01/2023, that song came to my mind thinking about him.Africa for ever bro.
ive been searching for this shit for about two years!!!! you know how that go.... funk master wizard wiz is my next search....and like this, that house beat, 1985-86
O sub grave da JBL na Clube da Cidade arrasava com meu coração, eu ficava bem na frentes ads ciaxas, quando tremia minha roupa o som tava bom,né Miguel Salomão???
That's was Russell Simmons on That's a LIE with LL AIN'T NOTHIN LIKE HIP HOP 80'S STYLE 86 WAS SPECIAL I had this record this side Knowedged ME THAT SIDE Can u feel it Real how wht i'm sayin lol!!!

WE USED TO FLOW TO THIS INSTRUMENTAL WAY WAY BACK, This used to be my theme song whenever I left the house.👍👍👍
There is always that song that makes you feel some kinda way .
This one Is it right .
This beat went soooo tough in systems back in the day!!!!!
6x9 lol
Santos Jerez House speakers in the back seat 🔊🔊🔊🔊
It separated the real sound systems from the fake
OMG I can't believe in 2022 this song just popped in my head 🤣. TBH they don't make songs like this no more frfr.
I can still hear all the different mixes in my head...definitely the OG Banger!✌🏿❤️
As a 27 year old man in 2024 this is a very interesting to hear one of the earliest songs to use 808s this way. You guys lived through history.
I'm glad I found this joint. It still goes hard
oh yea we would stay up real late so we could hear hip hop back in the day #STR8FAx my G..
This beat is the shit. I was born to roll.
This beat was the shit, but the content besides that was horrible, lol. I was like WTF are they saying?

Bangin!!!
Ashanti, Wall and Meth did this beat the most justice 💯
