My 13 yr old son just said over dinner “ hey you..” and I continued “ the rock steady crew..” so just had to come on here and show him this vid! Wow!! Lots of memories, lots of synth!!! Love it!!!
I heard this song in 87 I was 6 forgot about it until last year I was in a pub drinking a schooner and on the music channel on the tv this came on. Great song and I'm glad you love it
actually, it's the 80s still out there, Believe it or not,, I experienced the 80s 90s and after 2000, Tech played a big role here, time really goes fast now etc...
I TURNED 20 IN 1983 AND LET ME JUST SAY I WAS ON TOP OF THE WORLD WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT IN 83.NOW I'M 58 AND STILL ON TOP OF THE WORLD.THANK YOU LORD JESUS I CAN STILL SAY THAT.
@@raysterE176Tremont BUT CAN'T WE SAY THAT ABOUT ANYTIME.PEOPLE WERE ON DRUGS WHEN YOU BORN,PEOPLE WERE GOING TO PRISON AND PEOPLE WERE SURELY GETTING KILLED WHEN YOU WERE SEVEN.NONE OF THAT CHANGES,WHATEVER YEAR IT IS.
I am from Belgium. In 1984 i was 12 years and my brother Geerd was 9. I remember us popin on on breakdancemusic at our room. And we both had a BMX bike. 80´s was one of the best decade in my life.
Wow. I grew up in NYC, but I had cousins who lived in Belgium and France during the 1980s. I was so shocked when they came to visit during Christmas in 1984 and they already knew about Breakdancing!! My breakdancing moves were not as good so we actually taught each other some moves! We broke two lamps and some furniture practicing in my mothers apartment all the holiday week!! We exchanged clothes and I was the first person in my school to wear Kappa brand! The next winter I went to France to visit them. Long lost Memories. They are all living in Miami and Chicago now.
Ik hoor je Erwin, Ik kom uit Nederland en je was er aardig vroeg bij😀, Ik was weekend's Zaterdag Zondag 07:00-12:00 ochtend Fun Factory, Het werd uitgezonden via the UK, Ik had ook een crossfiets, Man, Ik kan de hele dag wel hierover kletsen, Leuke tijden, En de 70's hoorden er ook wel een beetje bij hoor♥️
@@onilaw6253 Wat een heerlijke verhalen allemaal :) Ik ben in 1983 geboren en ik herinner me nog dat men ouders dit singletje draaiden en ik heb het nog steeds in mint conditie :) Vinyls, Bmxen met een Walkman op men kop, Mtv... Wat een geweldige tijd :)
I will never forget these times when I was 12 and had friends who used to dance in crews. I had a particular friend who tried very hard, he was overweight and I remember they decided to do a dance-off at a house and my friend did the helicopter. As he dived onto the floor, the floor gave way and unfortunately, it took him with him. We had a huge laugh and also won the dance-off. He has sadly passed away since then but we will never forget the good times
I’m 48 and still remember BeatStreet as if it were yesterday. I still remember trying these moves, never forgotten. The lead singer in this this video is still cute at 15 yrs old.
Haven't heard this in decades ! In NYC in the 80s there were so many dance crews. Rock Steady were one of the best crews. Some of the ones that I recall were 7 Stars, Rockers Revenge, Stone city crew and more !
Damn! I haven't heard this in years .... Used to listen to this on my Ghetto blaster while walking to my Girlfriends house aged 15. Such memories 😊 55 Now and its still makes me smile and sing along.😊
This was Zeitgeist of earlier 80's Hip Hop in the uk, this along with White Lines, the kids today will never know the buzz of the scene back then, gheto blasters, lino, Kappa, Lacoste, Sergio Tacchini gear....feeling cooler than you'll ever know kids!
Ha ha! That's so true. Fila, 012 Benetton, Kickers shoes. Look at any chart listing of 1983 songs and virtually all of them you'll remember. Too Shy probably top song...?!
I remember listening to this in 1983 when I was 4 years old. Loved it then, love it now. I really am nostalgic for it, even though I'm English not American.
Hard to say. Definitely a lot of great distinctive music, but when you think of the calibre of bands from the 60's and 70's - Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd etc
Been through the 80's, totally missed this song when it came out. Heard it for the first time today (that I remember).. Wow 80's hip hop culture waS SO Positive, so happy.. Female vocalist sounds very like the Real Roxanne.
I was 14 at he time an this was the track and vid that changed my life. Fast forward to 2020 and my two grandkids who are 2 and 3 are just starting to listen and watch some of this old skool real Hip Hop.
God damn these memories the great times back in the 80's..i was 13 when this Song came out ...we were breakdancing to this Song..İ miss the eighties so much..
Randomly heard this on the radio, thought it was nice. Somehting I admire about 80s music is it's basses and kicks, they feel so powerful and satisfying.
Always come back to listen to this then I switch over to Beat Street at the Roxy scene. These guys kept pure breakdancing alive for a long time. Big thanks to them, your legacy is secure 🙂
Oh my God … 1984 I had just started school lived in the GDR and got a record from the west, from my uncle... It was a sampler full of banned music!! Among other things, this good piece here! Music videos were out of the question, me Sat there with the record sleeve in hand and loved it!! Today I see scenes from the film Beat Street before me, me after fall of the wall brought to graffiti !!! Amazing thank you Mike from Dresden
Just Found out a couple days ago, young buck and k. were brutality murdered. Some one of the comments i read said that crazy legs snitch on them, but i don't know for what, probably drug dealing
Heard this song playing at Knott’s Berry Farm in the boardwalk section, they play 80s music in that area. Ever since, this song just keeps playing in my head.
Hey You The Rock Steady Crew became a breakdancing contest here in the Philippines thru the variety show, The Big, Big Show, aired over Channel 2 in 1985.
At 47 when having parties round my house and the choonz start playin, my lad asks..... 'Dad, you gonna cut a rug?' 'No son....no rugs round here, but lay some vinyl down on the floor and I'll show you how we spin'...... 😂😂😂
Puerto ricans never got their due in hop hop.They rocked breakdancing,graffitti art,DJ'ing,and rapping too! Im black...but shout out to ALL THE BORIQUAS!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
2022...Rocksteady Forever... Went to school from elementary to HS with Daisy Castro, 199 to MLK... Mad memories off this...Wish my knees could hold up for some uprocking...lol
I loved my Reagan era. This was played one -84 morning at school by friends that just recently had tucked away their Star Wars action figures and moved on to even more cooler stuff.
The year of my graduation in '83-'84, I used to dance everywhere at school and in the streets. I was among the first ones to dance hip hop in France. I remember this video clip we saw once on tv, and how we tried to figure out how they do the windmill. Great memories.
There's a new headline, there's a new sensation 💙🎵 🚀🤸♂️ Everybody's talking about the situation Bodies in expression of music inspiration Tell us when you feel it, 'cause we're gonna rock the nations
Back in the 80s in Dublin we would all head to the shopping mall and bring our ghetto blaster along with a piece of vinyl mat. We eould also bring a tin of Mr Sheen to make the vinyl mat slippy. We'd all practice our breakdance moves and try new raps. Definitely blasted this out many times. I'm 53 now and still listen to my street sound albums and my breakdance vinyls
A massive shoutout to everyone that grew up in this era!!!! Life and Music was so simple.👌👌👌👌👌
Def my era!!!
My 13 yr old son just said over dinner “ hey you..” and I continued “ the rock steady crew..” so just had to come on here and show him this vid! Wow!! Lots of memories, lots of synth!!! Love it!!!

My wonderful 80's 🙂 On 1984 i was 14 and i dance break dance on the streets of my town. Some times i think that all this is happens on another life 😢
Loved it in 1983 when I was 20, still love it in 2024 at nearly 61
I heard this song in 87 I was 6 forgot about it until last year I was in a pub drinking a schooner and on the music channel on the tv this came on. Great song and I'm glad you love it

Would have loved to live in New York to meet with a Puerto rican woman like this girl in the video. I'm in Paris
Ditto man!!!
I am now 51 as well. I remember this song and how catchy it Sounded. Time goes soo quickly.
I TURNED 20 IN 1983 AND LET ME JUST SAY I WAS ON TOP OF THE WORLD WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT IN 83.NOW I'M 58 AND STILL ON TOP OF THE WORLD.THANK YOU LORD JESUS I CAN STILL SAY THAT.
Youre so right, sir. I am born in 1962.
1965 here and still love this music. Kids nowadays have no good music to hear.
@@novicadjurdjevic AMEN
I was only 7. Would of been nice to be around at that time but maybe not. Alot of these people turned in drug addicts, went to prison or killed.

I didn't hear this song maybe for 35 years, this morning I woke up and had 'Rocksteady crew' in my mind, now in my ears.
I will never forget these times when I was 12 and had friends who used to dance in crews.

One of the best earliest and very best songs of the 80s! How original, young female vocalist! great breakdancing just an awesome mix of brilliance!
Ladies and gentlemen this is the real thing not today's talent.
Wow takes me back to 83 wen I was 12 Yr old. Great times. Brilliant sound track to the 80s break dancers.
What a fantastic Song ! So positive Energy. Nice to find them again after long time forgotten.
Such* positive energy*.
a* long time being* forgotten.
For some reason this song just came into my head after all these years. I'm 52 now but still love this song.
Team 50s!
Ha ha, I'm the same age and this number now just came in my mind, so looked it up..
Is it the age? ;-)
.
Someone I knew heard this on the pub juke box + said he liked the song but he should be too cool. No, it crossed all tribes at that time.
Your old
What? You too? This is incredible!!!
I’m 48 and still remember BeatStreet as if it were yesterday. I still remember trying these moves, never forgotten. The lead singer in this this video is still cute at 15 yrs old.
this is hip hop...not just the music the culture....
Look up a song of theirs called "Uprock" where you hear them rapping for real.
Haven't heard this in decades ! In NYC in the 80s there were so many dance crews. Rock Steady were one of the best crews. Some of the ones that I recall were 7 Stars, Rockers Revenge, Stone city crew and more !
Same! (Good work RUclips algorithm.) This was one of my favourites when I was a kid.
Take me back to the 80s. So many great memories.
Damn! I haven't heard this in years .... Used to listen to this on my Ghetto blaster while walking to my Girlfriends house aged 15. Such memories 😊 55 Now and its still makes me smile and sing along.😊

And those smiles!
Neurorican
Massive respect to everyone who was a part of this.
An all time classic! always loved this!
The Legendary Rock Steady Crew! 40 year Old 80s Babies Classic B.Boy Style🎶🔥🔥🔥😎
I was born in 1990, so why does this make me this nostalgic that i just wanna cry.. ??
I remember listening to this in 1983 when I was 4 years old. Loved it then, love it now. I really am nostalgic for it, even though I'm English not American.
Feel the same..🥺💕
This music reflects a better time in society
Me too ❤
super theme of the 80s, classic, they will never go out of style.
You will never ever beat this decade for music
The only generations that’s above them is the 60s and 70s but other than that nah
EVER!
...and 50s. Especially 50s.
True. The 80s really brought heavy metal, hip hop, punk, new-wave, and pop into a whole new level.
Hard to say. Definitely a lot of great distinctive music, but when you think of the calibre of bands from the 60's and 70's - Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd etc
The girl was a natural beauty
fantastica,ascoltata quando avevo 10 anni(1986) grandi suoni con campionature a manetta.mitica
All these songs were the best when we were lil kids. So many memories of being bullied and judged then and now! Technology what have U done lol😂
pure positivity! great time...
Bloody brilliant song! Just oozes the 80s!!!!
Its a song that could not be 90s or 70s
Love this!!!! Was only 9 when it charted... still blast it to this day🥰🥰

@@MegalomanX Old school hip hop is designated as 1978-84, so yeah, this just squeezes in for Old School.
He write it incorrect
Or wrong
@@MegalomanX Nope learn something about Hip Hop first before making a comment lol.
God damn these memories the great times back in the 80's..i was 13 when this Song came out ...we were breakdancing to this Song..İ miss the eighties so much..
Baby Love was gorgeous, so pretty!
This was one of my favourite track's 37 years ago & it's still one of my favourites!! '83'
Randomly heard this on the radio, thought it was nice. Somehting I admire about 80s music is it's basses and kicks, they feel so powerful and satisfying.
there are a few songs I haven't heard since the 80s. this is one of them
my dad is in his 40's, I'm 13 and he does brakedancing with me still
Kudos dude

Respect!
That’s fucking sick mate😁 have fun because these are the best years of your life! And also, your dad is a legend!
I'm 48 and the only thing i can break these days is the dishes and my bones, hahaha
When I was 11-12 Baby Love was amazing and a complete sweetheart!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow it's my childhood passing by when listening to this epic tune 👍🏆😎
Always come back to listen to this then I switch over to Beat Street at the Roxy scene. These guys kept pure breakdancing alive for a long time. Big thanks to them, your legacy is secure 🙂

🙋🏻♂️….😅 Lol proud of it, + so blessed to be an 80s teen!

Wow!32 years ago i used to break dance to this back in high school.
That's cool. My school had us do line dancing instead. In Jersey of all places wtf.
I used to breaknecks
When i was young i thought this was rock steady goose.
Great in the 80's and still great today
Legends in my opinion...I'm 47 and still do windmills... lol
The World is Yours
Hell yes
@@evagelinadicante9840 HELL YES
Hey you the rock steady crew best dam beat that was ever boogaloo
I was 12 when I bought the single. But I were also into punk. And Abba. I have always liked different kinds of music.
Oh my God …
1984 I had just started school
lived in the GDR and got a record
from the west, from my uncle...
It was a sampler full of banned music!!
Among other things, this good piece here!
Music videos were out of the question, me
Sat there with the record sleeve in hand
and loved it!!
Today I see scenes from the film
Beat Street before me, me after
fall of the wall brought to graffiti !!!
Amazing thank you Mike from Dresden
Great track this hip-hop Rock Steady Crew represented back in the day. The 80's were fun social media and smart phones have ruined everything.'
Just Found out a couple days ago, young buck and k. were brutality murdered. Some one of the comments i read said that crazy legs snitch on them, but i don't know for what, probably drug dealing
@@christiant619 Nobdy gives a fuck about Young Buck. I would snitch on a drug dealer to if he was dealing in my area.

Aw man 1980s America, just magical when dreams could be a reality!
Maybe you should try and do some research on that. I think it's because you were a kid and didn't know how bad things were for people.
My dad showed me this when I was 7 now I am 15 and the vibe is awesome
You need to watch "IOU" by Freeez".
"ITs AutoMatic"

I always get happy listening to this song. I was 12 back then.

Mad memories off this...Wish my knees could hold up for some uprocking...lol
I was 14. Best years of my life.
MY YOUTH
Still have this record one of my favorite song to breakdance to.
I loved my Reagan era. This was played one -84 morning at school by friends that just recently had tucked away their Star Wars action figures and moved on to even more cooler stuff.
I won our regions electric boogie championships to THIS very song!!! Good memories!! (yes I was wearing white gloves too, so what! hehehehe)
Pure energy and fun, love it !
my generation the best !!! that of grandiose memories to spend dancing hip hop in the Parisian metro 🤩🤩🤩
2020 anyone??
I remember practicing breakdancing, body poppin etc in the playground & gym back in ‘84 Inner City 🌃 life
The year of my graduation in '83-'84, I used to dance everywhere at school and in the streets. I was among the first ones to dance hip hop in France. I remember this video clip we saw once on tv, and how we tried to figure out how they do the windmill. Great memories.
GENIUS! I showed this a fellow from the good old DDR, East germany... There were making break dance back in the 80s. :D
The movie was in Cinema in die gdr.... i saw it 1984 in leipzig

llevo más de 30 años escuchando música de los '80 y jamás supe de esto... SUENA GENIAL ! ! !
I was only 9 yo when this came out and absolutely loved this song and video.
1983. I was 12. I thought this song was the coolest thing ever. Happy days.
I want this song played at my funeral. "Digital".
Lets make it a fruity version, perhaps with a cherry on top. Dreamtopia...
Head Spinning on your coffin?
There's a new headline, there's a new sensation 💙🎵 🚀🤸♂️
Everybody's talking about the situation
Bodies in expression of music inspiration
Tell us when you feel it, 'cause we're gonna rock the nations
Back in the 80s in Dublin we would all head to the shopping mall and bring our ghetto blaster along with a piece of vinyl mat.
We eould also bring a tin of Mr Sheen to make the vinyl mat slippy.

Definitely blasted this out many times.
