THIS IS WHY SPECIAL ED WAS 1 OF THE MANY UNIQUE PHENOMENON'S THAT TOOK THE WORLD BY STORM IN OUR GOLDEN AGE OF REAL HIP-HOP. WE ALL HED MUCH LOVE & APPRECIATION THE BROTHER & STILL DO. CHEERS & SALUTE TO THE GOD/KING STILL THE YOUNGEST IN CHARGE EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ALL ARE OLDER NOW!!![999]
The James Bond theme with the Roxanne Roxanne beat...props to Howie Tee probably one of the most underrated producers of golden era HipHop. Ed stay having dope lyrics
that's not Roxanne Roxanne (though i hear the similarity) that's actually Billy Squire The Big Beat. it's the same break Jam Master Jay famously cut for Run Dmc's Here We Go/Live at the Funhouse in '84, and the inspiration Alicia Keys used for Girl On Fire much much later in 2012.
Who's here after the drink champs episode!!! This was one of my favorite videos on VIDEO MUSIC MOX back in the Day!!! Under rated Beat as well.....this era was bananas!!
Great memories, love these days! He had a crazy flow. And no cursing or dissing our Queen's! Man, this was talent and good music. You couldn't help but to dance.🤣
man.. i been a hip hop fan for as long as i can fkn remember mid 90s easy. spent sooooo much time listening to all kinds of hip hop past and present and only just heard this song yesterday!! man talk about a serious miss on my part!! this song is HEAT!!!
Jay 'Ontario you were the dancer or/?? BTW where the f is special ed I've been looking up to this guy ever since I was 10 . he brought me to hip hop I remember seeing him on the show my wife and kids on a rap battle episode. He's the fucking man - behind MF DOOM/#1
Slick Souljah Naw....in Junior High and early High school we did that type of dancing... similar to Def Jeff's dancers ( the Soul Brothas) or like the cat that was dancing in Tribes video "Bonita Applebaum "...Skoob and Skrap...who were Big Daddy Kanes dancers........88 to 93 it was in Hip Hop for us......we called it "Groove Rockin'"
Interestingly, after this album and tour ran its course, Special Ed's two dancers in the video (Prancer and Kayzo) returned to Harlem and started their own rap group called ZHIGGE and dropped the underground classics "Toss It Up" and "Rakin' In The Doe" as well as a full-length album in 1992.
@@seanfelder3977 The entire thing died after 1991...I'll give you 1992 but the thug-aspect and the 'death-music' was just that... and what happened? Went down hill from there.... Why? Death music...no matter how great it sounded, if it's death, just like a disease, it takes time but eventually it causes and produces death, not life.... See classical music stands to this day because it's classical music, all genres of music stand but the recording industry is about destroying music, always has been so they take advantage of the poor who don't care and it leads to what they signed up for - death, destruction, chaos, and dancing while jumping off a cliff. Damn shame what they did to that dog.
I remember when Special Ed dropped this joint, we as little kids thought those hovercrafts were gonna hit the streets for sale! 🤣😁 Great story teller at it's finest!💯💯 Rest Easy to Todd 1..🕯🕊🙏🏿
My son is 12 and I try to hip him to gems like this all the time. He just looks at me in disgust and says, "What is that?!" I then commence to school him on why growing up in the 80s to true hip hop was so freaking cool. 😂😂
Can't help but bob your head to Ed. Timeless. He was all about confidence, pride, respect, & romance. Today its none of that: pants at the knees, using women, mumbling, and $.
Massive Classic. I recall the second comedian Garfield was in the movie Mo Money. And the third comedian was a host on Yo MTV Raps and in the movie Who's The Man.
I love this era..articulate.smooth.cultured and HIP HOP ..n the part he called him de la bart hadme rolling Special Ed was Special for real n underrated
I'm 56, I was in my 20's when this was a hit. This is real rap..no cursing, no "N" words, or "B" words required in making a hit. Recognize!
Exactly, there is no need to utter the 14th letter word .
Because it's a BS filler ... Nonsense word, unless you need crutches; handicap "rappers", word !
Ed is just that,special.
Generally rappers who cannot a make a record without a single cuss word or N word in it, have limited vocabulary and low IQ.
I'm 48 now, I was about 14 then, and I remember the N word here as well! Hate to burst y'all bubble of how great things back in the day was but around 3:06, they tried to edit it out.
Just turned 54 last week, I spent my whole day curating a playlist of the shit I loved between 18-20 yrs old 🙏🏼
This is real story telling. Special Ed was a very skilled wordsmith. Word!
True and he was fine too lol.
He still is!
The era of real hip hop 💯👌🏾
Marquise Robinson Are we old or like good music?
Eric Bomberger
Sure I'm Old School. I'm 43.
But I also know good music (and authentic hip-hop) when I hear it.

Sorry pal... Im going to have to correct you!!... NOBODY DID THE STORYTELLING RAP .. LIKE SLICK RICK "THE RULER".... YOU BETTER RECOGNIZE!!!!
Was in 7th grade when this came out I still have the tape and I’m still listening to this now 12/6/23 man I miss them days 😮💨
Too bad Special Ed faded away; he is still one of the most talented rappers ever.
THIS WAS AND STILL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CUTS!!
His flow he killed this whole beat 🔥🔥
Word!
Facts
Him and Howie Tee=Guru and Premier.
Happy 50th Birthday Special Ed!(Born May 16, 1972)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂👍🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
Special Ed the coolest Jamaican Rapper
I believe that in one of his songs he says he is from the West Indies.
He was born and raised in Flatbush Brooklyn, but I think his parents were from jamaica.
Special Ed's videos are straight up amazing.
One of my favorite Special Ed songs ever!!!!❤😊😊❤😊😊❤
Am I the only that appreciates the backup dancers? They were actually really good!
Oladele Olawaiye I remember practicing those dance moves.
They are everything.
Scoob & Scrap were the best(Big daddy Kane) & Fendi (epmd)..& Def Jef's dancers were hype too
The Admiral fo sho.......Def Jeff's Dancers as well...
Yes but the best was big daddy Kane dancers!!!check it out
They killing the dance moves in the background! I'm 37 grew up in the Bronx and remember the dances at the block parties! Real hip hop

1990 was a good year in Hip Hop!
The brothers dancing were among the best features of '88-'92 Hip-Hop.
Special Ed is a brother from another mother...1 of the smoothest effortless flows ever.
I'm 49 and for some of you young folks this was when everybody came with their own dancers. The dancers were not just for the video but they also toured with the MC's too full time, part of the family yo'...

Who In the Hell was the Host with the Mc Hammer Pants?
Special Ed the legend.
The Rambo knife with the hunting apparel. Those were dope. Had a compass, waterproof matches, fishing line and a serrated blade.
I remember when this came out a friend and I listened to this most of the way driving from NY to ATL.
The James Bond theme with the Roxanne Roxanne beat...props to Howie Tee probably one of the most underrated producers of golden era HipHop. Ed stay having dope lyrics
Hitman Howie produced some bangers for Ed and Chubb Rock that's fo sure.

1989 and 1990 were GREAT culturally for hip-hop... we all grew up on this joint.

Hardest line, my favorite

The worst part is, you could tell by the smirk on his face that he knows he killed it with that punchline.
@@ricorobinson3954 yeah watching him smile because of how fire he is
Lol
Threw on the tench, kiss the girl goodbye, she said, "Special Ed, don't go, you might die!" I'm sorry, I couldn't resist!

My favorite rapper special ed
Was only born in 91 so I have a retrospective crush on this one
Special ed was way ahead of his time .. he low key created the early hip hop wave around that time
I really really miss these days of hip hop.
Was actually at this video shoot❤️ My fam🥰
At the Queensboro bridge
Todays rappers don't have the balls to have fun with a song like this.
2021 Still🔥
“Jet it in the jet” most classic hip hop line EVER

Lets not forget Bobby Brown had dope dancers along with Kool G Rap . . . it was just the thing to have back in the "video" era
It's painful to think that rap music might NOT ever be this dope again...SMH
Hip-hop will NEVER be like this again.
#NeverAgain😭😭🎶💐⚰💐🎶😥😥😥
