Back when Hip-Hop was our culture...and the music had meaning and made you move...and feel good...Man i miss these day...rapper today talk nothing but JAZZ.
Its. Still. Our culture, why.???? We are the streets and hip-hop is black urban street culture. It doesn't matter how many EMINEMs come along. Hip-hop is too Black. And. When They mimic us They letting the world know Who God is
Great message about standing up for sampling back then, while rockin’ the Troop suits. We all know how that went and the current state of face tat Hip-Not.
Today, perhaps. But back then they had a great reputation. I guess they did get swept aside along with so many other great groups as time passed, though, yeah.
A100% & for every 1 masterpiece banger made in the realm of hip hop it really does seem some creatives are not striving for producing a masterpiece but making songs in volume which nobody could do back in the day because producing hip hop with samples is more meticulous&labour intensive especially if the song is as kool as the instrumental like this pristine example!!!!!
As a musician, Don Newkirk has appeared on several hip hop records including the remix to "Say No Go" by De La Soul but most notably can be heard delivering the funky baseline, memorable lead horn line and keys on Stetsasonic's "Talking All That Jazz" - Rest In Eternal Power Brother*
Lonnie Liston Smith brings back memories. I met him at Joseph’s hair salon when I was a kid….. one of the few high end black owned salons in Manhattan in the 80’s.
I totally forgot about this track. Time flies especially when the rules are changed constantly. Not only in music but everything. This song is so relevant today
The baseline went absolutely ballistic on the non video version ruclips.net/video/fqq9GGONSxY/видео.html from 4:08 till 4:15. I initially thought Prince Paul produced this, wow thanks for this information. This was a classic
Two things I’ve noticed watching this video as an older person now. 1. The tribute to Jean Michel Basquiat 2. Coati Mundi from Dr. Buzzard Original Savannah Band is playing the bartender in this video Very iconic ❤
That bassline though, cuts straight to the soul and is direct homage to the swing era birthed in that very same neighborhood two generations prior... Harlem USA. ✌🏾
I bought the 12 inch of this when i was 16 growing up in Glasgow Scotland. This is my favorite all time Hip Hop track. The bassline along with the lyrics are truly awesome 💚💚🥰🥰
so true had it not been for soul sample me at age 33 would not have a collection of old soul music i have more soul rnb records than i do hip hop ones thnk u to these brothers for saving an artform of music soul blues jazz
Nikki Giovanni had a book call Hip Hop Speaks to Children and I remembered hearing this song from the CD as a kid. Always loved this track. Rest in peace to an absolute Icon.
One of the 100 best of all times, for sure!!!! Soooo many innovations there at that time... These lyrics as so well placed over the beat... ...the sound so natural you can sing them almost like talking... Smooth...
They paved the way for others like the Roots and Digital Underground (R.I.P. Shock-G!) My era was fresh and new with music for errybody. July 13th 24 and a whole lotta people still talkin all that jazz
A Tribe called Quest, US3 and Soul to Soul.....how I miss those days. "I sport New balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path"..... "It's 1991 and I refuse to come back". Peace!
Question - It depends on whether or not I could make it back. If so, I would pay everything I have with the exception of $10,000. That way I could invest in Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Yahoo, Facebook, Amazon, Yahoo, and Google before they blew up.👍🏾
I'm from England and been obsessed with hip hop since 1983 when I was 11. This tune still haunts me in the respect that it's just so still amazing. It seems like last week everytime I hear this classical masterpiece in hip hop!
I feel my youth all in this video. I was 15 when this joint came out. I recorded the video on VHS when Ralph McDaniels played it on Video Music Box. I watched the hell out out that tape.

The Mighty Stetsasonic is Baaaack in 2024!!
5-1-24
Facts
Nov 12, 2024 still listening
Golden Era of Hip Hop! What a beautiful time it was to listen to hip hop!
Yo MTV 😂
Stetsosonic are str8 legends. They introduced Jazz before Gangstarr and a live Band before the Roots. #RESPECT
No doubt. They are a percussion band. The Roots is a all dimensional band.
They was way before the roots
Gil scott Heron and the Last Poets before that-propers!!!
Always will be a fan of Stetsasonic. They were way ahead of their time
Way ahead. A live Hip Hop band! No Stetsa', no Roots..etc etc..
Daddy-O v progressive in the hip hop scene
This is underrated as hell, should be regarded as an 80s hip-hop classic
it is
What do you mean 'should be?'
I mean it should be more well known…
@@Reazy-E
It's well known to anyone who knows about hip hop in the 80's
It is!!!
I watched stetsasonic on TV one unsung Tonight April 14
This beat is everything. And that bassline.
Great bassline, from Lonnie Liston Smith - Expansions
CRH Thank you...
Courtesy of Lonnie Liston Smith.
Prince Paul did the producing
NORMALIZATION OF IGNORANCE your name says it all
Bring back the 80's clothing styles!!!!!
Dapper Dan up in NYC can do it!,he's been making custom clothes for years!

100 % Hip hop in its purest form! No frills, No Drills, No Autotunes!
Completely underrated. These guys were fantastic.
Today, perhaps. But back then they had a great reputation. I guess they did get swept aside along with so many other great groups as time passed, though, yeah.
They were not underrrated in 1988.
@ Not even with Audio 2 re: Daddy O/Milk. Top Billin' is still one of the noted Hip Hop Classics.
This was a great comeback to the frustration our generation felt at the lack of respect Hip-Hop was receiving.
Just saw an interview where Mtume said this song was directed at him: ruclips.net/video/ezods1liwEs/видео.html
It's songs like this that further legitimized the art and genre of Hip Hop music.
I just found out about Stetsasonic and this song, but I can feel that your comment is true because even I feel the same about this topic.
modern mcees scared to admit hip hop has a b-boy origin
A100% & for every 1 masterpiece banger made in the realm of hip hop it really does seem some creatives are not striving for producing a masterpiece but making songs in volume which nobody could do back in the day because producing hip hop with samples is more meticulous&labour intensive especially if the song is as kool as the instrumental like this pristine example!!!!!
That was the Best era for rap music
As a musician, Don Newkirk has appeared on several hip hop records including the remix to "Say No Go" by De La Soul but most notably can be heard delivering the funky baseline, memorable lead horn line and keys on Stetsasonic's "Talking All That Jazz" - Rest In Eternal Power Brother*
Who is Don newkirk and how did he die?
Came back in 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣.
1973 - 2023 - BEYOND.
Hip-Hop was here, is here, & will be here!
As of 2019, this track is now 31 years old. And yet, it still has one of the best bass lines in Hip Hop ever.

Lonnie Liston Smith brings back memories. I met him at Joseph’s hair salon when I was a kid….. one of the few high end black owned salons in Manhattan in the 80’s.
I was Born 1968 ..HipHop rules!! Eventhough they said it wouldn't last Ha!! My Era.
I totally forgot about this track. Time flies especially when the rules are changed constantly. Not only in music but everything. This song is so relevant today
This is just amazing.....props to Lonnie Liston for the bassline.

Absolutely legendary tune. One. More. Time.

Two things I’ve noticed watching this video as an older person now.
1. The tribute to Jean Michel Basquiat
2. Coati Mundi from Dr. Buzzard Original Savannah Band is playing the bartender in this video
Very iconic ❤
That bassline though, cuts straight to the soul and is direct homage to the swing era birthed in that very same neighborhood two generations prior... Harlem USA. ✌🏾

My Old School Hip Hop and R&B.
Hiphop fact two members in this group Frukwan and Prince Paul formed the Gravediggaz in 1992 with the Rza
Taevon Bryant and Daddy o is also rzas cousin
Prince Paul also produced the first two classic albums from de la soul 3ft high and rising n de la soul is dead
Thank you 🙏
I couldn’t pick the name but I knew that voice!
One of the 80’s rap legends 👊
This should be a hymn of rap
Nikki Giovanni had a book call Hip Hop Speaks to Children and I remembered hearing this song from the CD as a kid. Always loved this track. Rest in peace to an absolute Icon.
I grew up with this in Chicago before it went big. I hope everyone listens to the words. Respect
One of the greatest Hip Hop songs ever made IMHO
Yep
Now of the greatest underrated 80s Soul Funk Jazz hop hop tracks ever by the legendary Stetasonic All that Jazz
Absolute creativity.........stetsanic are massive pioneers of what was to come of hip hop
One of the 100 best of all times, for sure!!!!
Soooo many innovations there at that time...
These lyrics as so well placed over the beat...
...the sound so natural you can sing them almost like talking...
Smooth...
REAL Hip Hop pioneers!!!
2020 and still listening! Much better, than modern hip-Pop crap.
Ok old head
Love this song.
Rip Don Newkirk,Mastermind🙏🏻
Jazz and HipHop...PERFECT!
They paved the way for others like the Roots and Digital Underground (R.I.P. Shock-G!) My era was fresh and new with music for errybody. July 13th 24 and a whole lotta people still talkin all that jazz
Nothin like the pure unadulterated Hip Hop.. These kids could learn something.
A Tribe called Quest, US3 and Soul to Soul.....how I miss those days.
"I sport New balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path".....
"It's 1991 and I refuse to come back".
Peace!
Awwww, those were the days. I need a time machine!
@@kingwillie206 how much would you pay

@@kingwillie206 where do you live and how much do you haven
Question - Why?
On some real sh**, sampling did bring ALL that old music back and revitalized a lot of careers.
Hail to the architects. hell to the Architects stetaSonic
One of the best in rap era.
Fantastic oldschool rap + jazz = perfect music
Yes, True Hip Hop. Before Their Time. Always Will Be Fire.
jazz rap was born with this track
The perfect example of a perfect sample.
Man, I love this song. I was all over this when it came out.

1988 none stop hits
These and ultra magnetic
Huge acts
True hip hop bands ...
Rewind back to late 89 early 90 this brilliant hip hop, Jazz fusion track By the Superb Stetsasonic All that Jazz

I'm from England and been obsessed with hip hop since 1983 when I was 11. This tune still haunts me in the respect that it's just so still amazing. It seems like last week everytime I hear this classical masterpiece in hip hop!
I was today years old when I found out this song was about mtume, and sampling in the music industry RIP to James mtume 🙏🏾🙏🏾
The horns are great
This is one of the best grooves sampled in hip hop history, PERIOD!!!
OLD IS GOLD!
One of the best bass lines in the history of rap.

Stet is so underrated Wise is Puerto Rican for all the Latino hiphop heads interested in your culture.

You don’t love it anymore?
This was one of my favorite tracks back in the days.. big up from london uk
They weren't the typical sound of the rap in the 80s def worth a listen too👂👂
I like them i remeber them now that I listen to their songs excellent group
Rest in peace James Mtume.
I feel my youth all in this video. I was 15 when this joint came out. I recorded the video on VHS when Ralph McDaniels played it on Video Music Box. I watched the hell out out that tape.
