I grew up in the Dominican republic. I had this Álbum and I used to listen to it everyday. This was my second favorite song after "IT TAKES 2" then I liked. "CRUSH" my God . I can't believe that was 30 years ago. Wow.
shameful that this only has less than 30,000 views. this was one of his top hits! Jacksons sample, classic and a rare sample at the time, plus the house rhythm track.
Rob even says: "Now, 'let's dance'" [let's shout/shake your body down...] It was bugging me that I couldn't remember the name of the second sample. Since Google is my friend it's called _A Day in the Life_ by Black Riot.
the people that play this regularly are old school djs (vinyl) and other physical media in the household. you have to know the demographics, to gain perspective. The Views are in no way a reflection of people that listen to certain songs as views are a fairly new concept to judge a records success especially an older record.
When this came out I was a teenager, I had 2 technique 1200s spinning records doing house parties. Those were super great times in Brooklyn East New York.
love this back then and i still do and rob base what a cool dude he was he should have been massive!! probably too ahead of his time but he is a pioneer for sure i love it takes two as well.
Maaaaan, we used to tear down the house in Norman, Oklahoma on the OU campus when this album dropped. Nothing but good times back then. There was some really good rap & hip-hop back then. 😎🤙🏾👊🏾
"Like a scientist, I'm finding; a new chemical, to get rid of you. It's not medecine, magic or voodoo..." That's the one line I always knew to sing everytime I heard this track as a kid. hehe
Like a scientist, I'm finding a new chemical, to get rid of you. It rings so true spitting the truth right in our faces the whole time. And I remember in the 9th grade hearing it the very first time and I asked myself if that was true.
Back in the 90's these daily vibrant tunes carried unlimited optimism that put the swag in your step, the 90's was a higher level that post 2000 wokeness can't touch.
This piece was epic in the Philippines especially if you have a pioneer stereo component or a sony stereo component that were very popular in the late 80's. Playing this will kick the bass out of your speakers, tweets the most out of your tweeters and attract the attention of your neighbors that they will think your one of the lucky owners of those stock pile stereo components. Bass and high freqs are truly amazing with this piece.
RiP DJ Easy Rock This Song Is manly used in the ''House Music'' community And what i liked about Rob Base is, Back in 1988'' Rob Base Came out of nowhere And Snapped with 1 song lol yall know what it is!!!😎😎😎
If you grew up in NY you know how this jam REPPED us to the FULLEST, SHOUT OUT to Uptown and BX !!!
One of the Best Jams I grew up with. I will be 50 later this year (2024)
I was 15 years old and I had to have this album. Lost my mind and wore it out when I got it.

30 years old just discovering this track. If I'm turning up this much I can just imagine what it was like when it was released.
Glad u found this awesome creation....listen to the rest of their songs... especially IT TAKES TWO...
I was in 9th grade on L.I. NY when this came out.... this was AWESOME RAP!! Rob Bass and DJ EASY Rock were IT!❤👍👍👍RIP DJ Easy Rock
1988 this was the joint classic
I was 5 dancing in the living room
" Puerto Rican, White, Black, Chinese..C'mon lets rock in peace ✌ ♥
Old school still the best music time ever
Back when hop hop had great music that even your kids could listen to..
Rob Base added Michael Jackson shake Your Body down to the Ground. This should of been bigger than it takes two.
Love this music, Brasil 2024
Back when Rappers had dance music in their albums
And at least one slow jam.
The real house music....... Forever classic!!!!!!!!
Isnt this trap music? I miss this stuff

My Favourite Track From MC Rob Base!!! This Was The Jam In The Clubs Dread!!!

This track rocks! It was catchy as hell when it released and it's lost none of its pungency in '24. Brilliant!
I miss these days.

This song captures a moment in NYC culture in the late 80s, real fly remix of a Michael Jackson song wrd!

This song and some groovy dance moves got me gals back in Primary School... Back in the day when there was Disco Dance Championships. Great stuff
I remember dancing to this as "old school music" in the 90s. Awesome times indeed

Gimme something to dance to. Rob always brings it
Thanks Rob Base very entertaining music
