Classic.... Almost brings tears to my eyes.... Sitting on the benches on the side of my building with my crew smoking blunts, and this classic playing on the boombox, many of my friends that I grew up with have passed away, and this song makes me think about those summer nights on the benches with all of them.... Peace to all of them....
I hear you.. those long summer days way bak when. What happened to those friends we had back then. Hope they all ok.. 50 years old now and the sun dont seem to shine so bright for me anymore.. great to b able to close my eyes an listen to these old tunes an remember when we were all kings... peace my brother
Who’s still listening to this funky fresh electro jam in 2019 ? Thumbs up 👍 if you are . This jam never gets old love the beat and the message is true till this day because life is tough so get tough tough tough ...........
Yo. I'm from Greensboro, NC. I remember when I was 14 yrs old when my cousins, from E.Orange, NJ, would come down here for the summer and bring there mix tapes too. I'll never forget when I first heard Kool DJ Red Alert on 98.7 KISS FM, and Mr. MAgic on 107.5 WBLS FM. It blew me away.From 1983 to 1999 I would copy their tapes. When I got older I would visit them up there and tape the mix shows off the radio myself. I still have some of them.
Thumbs up 👍 🆙 if u are still listening to this jam it never gets old word We know the world is suppose to get tough so get tough !!!!!! Song is so tru to its lyrics 1983-2018 WOW GET TOUGH ,
Oh wow what a blast I never seen this video before I am familiar with this group because it was a classic break dancing tune and it was a banger in the clubs in the 80s thanks again You Tube
I was living in a small french city at that time when it came out, near an NATO military base wich american soldiers were bringing fresh hip hop, so I heard it on a small radio called "radio santé" and I never forget about this track, 25 years trying to dig it, so I found it yesterday, one of greatest day of my musical life, discovering the video is another great moment. Hip Hop wasn't only about egotrip and party rhyme at that time ! Timeless.. Thanks for sharing this...
Awesome, have this on vinyl ... Played by one of the most inspirational Amsterdam radio pirate stations in the early 80's Satellite Empire and Futureline
whats up isa, i'm douglass class of 1990. and i remember these good old days. this takes me back to listening to webb and v103 on the radio. oh yeah, i have that z3 mc's on wax as well.
Tempos bons que não voltam mais 'MARAVILHOSO" Queria poder ter nascido e vivido nesse local e nessa época. Muito obrigado a você que postou esse video, abraço.
I've not listened to this since 1983, even though I have the vinyl. I just programmed it into my 303, memories flooding back. I had to check if it was on UA-cam.. A video too. Amazing!!! Greetings to all who love this tune!
absolutely love this song and so happy and proud to have this on my iPod, I love the electro hip hop of the early/mid 1980s, anything from 1979 to around 1992 is what I consider it to be the golden era of hip hop
Yeah don't think that you're too cool to listen to the beat with the rap about school. I took heed and listened. They were right. One or two jokers in the class...but gym was the only class they passed.
I remember in school everybody want to be my friend because I use to dance break one year before beat street movie in South Spain...my snickers, my hoodies, the way I walk, talk...I'm a b. boy Old school 4 ever...
If you remember this jam,you came from a time when Hip Hop was about to take over the world.I was working on my basketball game but Hip Hop showed how diverse it was.Before Tupac and Biggie,this was timeless Hip Hop.
If wasn't there u missed true & pure hip hop...I still got this in my crate's..2 this day.... These are the albums that separate the original DJs from The Youngens..... Salute to the original DJs to help pioneer hip Hop
i was born and raised in the UK. I was bout 11years old listening to this..thanks to my uncle's lp collection- an electro type lp with whodini, hancock, andre cymone- CLASSICS!!
Good times do not come back 'WONDERFUL' I wish I could have been born and lived in that place and at that time. Many thanks to you who posted that video, hug.
HELL YEAH!! THANKS FOR POSTING! CO-SIGN YOU FINDING THIS. THUMBS UP! BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF ALL THE GUYS I KNEW FROM NJ AND NY. THEY HIPPED ME UP TO THIS. I HAD SOME SKINNY TIES TOO! I LOVE HIP HOP TO THE DAY I DIE.
DJ HOWIE TEE...from Chubb Rock and Real Roxanne fame!!! When they in mic booth, he's the rapper in white shirt on left hand side! I know that face...Lol
This jam NEVER I MEAN NEVER GETS OLD WORD’EM UP WE KNOW THE WORLD IS SUPPOSE TO GET TOUGH SO GET TOUGH GET TOUGH SPECIALLY TODAY 2018 THINGS ARE MUCH WORST THAN 83” 84”
I love this jam. The synthesized bass line is fierce. I still rock it today. Love the vintage gear (and wears) in the video. Met Dash (the short dude in the middle) back in '83 when he was talking to my cousin. Man, how did rap get away from these positive roots.
Big UP Hit-Man Howie T I was in Omaha, of all places, during the Summer of 1983 when I heard CD III - Get Tough, off the hook. There was a radio station that was playing all kinds of New York Music way before it hit Cali Same time Attitude - We got the Juice, Bottoms Up - Chi Lites, Electric Kingdom - Twilight 22 Summer of 1983 was the last Summer Disco Funk was strong, Steve Arrington - Weak at the knees, Electro funk was way strong and also early Hip Hop records Bless UP - JD - UCOG
DEF! no better word describing this, at least to me! i love the fact there were videos to all these jams. where i live, we never got a chance to see them...getting those records was hard enough to achieve! this stuff makes me a happy man! thx 4 posting these!!!!
YO! I'm from Martinsville Va, only way we heard these songs was if we had cousins up north (2 in E. Orange Nj) & they would bring tapes down in the summer or we went up for summer. I heard this ONCE when I was around 14-15, feel in love with. I never heard it again for almost 30yrs! The only thing I remembered about this song was the music that was stuck in my head! I remembered the lines "1's gotta gun, in his hand. Soon he'll end up in the can. This is not how it's supposed to......society!
Both yall right it was 83 goin into 84 when this joint dropped trust me I know I was in the 12th grade for the second time.I dont know whats wrong wit these kids today they had to put me outta High school thats how much fun school was for us.
who would it imagine that after 31 yrs this jam is still true to its meaning. today the world has gotten worst since "83" so GET TOUGH!! WE KNOW WORLD IS TO SUPPOSE TO GET TOUGH SOOO GET TOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!! NO DOUBT !!
did yall notice at 3:46 the poster behind him has the movie 'Wild Style' on it being shown at some theatre... is that the legendary 1st hip hop movie ? CLASSIC tune!
They used to play this on WEUP-1600AM in Huntsville, Alabama back in the day. I can finally put faces with voices. Funny, the hook lyrics has stayed in my mind all of these years since, even in 2019.
this is their second single after this one came "succes" also on prelude records i have those 2 singles of CD III but i am searching hard for their debut single "summerjam/and you know that" it´s on vanity records great video thanks for posting

@colombizz I grew up in Miami (Kendall) back in that day, danced at Dadeland, the Falls, local strip malls, and at that skating rink near Killian, I forgot the name.... good times indeed!
Doobie1975 Yeah, those were the days that Comcast was called Adelphia, and old-school rap didn't have it's own channel, it split days with disco. Wasn't that long ago, damn time flies...
I was in a bad place back in the 80s and this song really helped me get out of that bad place. Thanks CD III
I hope you're doing awesome now! Great tune to pick you up and keep you going!
Yeah it was hard with President Reagan and prices going up
