@@cryptoisthewaytogo Im 44, Kurtis was the first emcee I ever heard. I know he isnt the first emcee ever, but my dad had The Breaks record and I begged him to play it all the time LOL.
I believe this was Summer of 1985. I remember it getting airplay around the same time as Prince & The Revolution 's " America " from " Around the World in a Day" album.
Curti Kurtis também! Vc acredita que só hoje ouvi esse som na rádio? E olhe que top trópico topico nada utópico. E ainda assim parece surreal de tudo o que está acontecendo agora com o Oriente Médio e a Rússia l..bem pensando bem algo bem previsto já 🫥

Does anyone know if this song was meant to be ironic? Because it sure does sound extremely ironic extremely when you compare it to his other songs. The cover of the album also seems to depict a rather negative image of America.
Shinichi Williams If you are talking about the part where he says "Don't you love America?", yes it's ironic. But, the rest of the song is just how America was at that time.
+Shinichi Williams The message seems to be "America is a great country, but it has done bad things. Also I hope World War III doesn't happen." Rick James and Prince made similar songs around the same time ("Funk in America/Silly Little Men" and "America"), which isn't surprising since the anti-nuclear movement was at its height in the early-mid 80s.
I like this song and this video. Long time I have been trying to write lyrics of this song. There are parts that do not completely understand. Like sample before M. L. King speaks. Any help? Thank you!
Just saw Kurtis Blow in Atlanta this guy dont look a day over 35 man....he had the moves....go see these legends.
2024 here now.. wonder what he’s up too.. he’s a legend and should be mentioned a lot more when they talk about rap history

Kurtis is the man. Nuff said.
Rap legend Kurtis Blow with a true rap classic.
the father of hip hop!
Profound relevant great beats forgot about this one more relevant today than it was back in the 80s
This video is hilarious, I watch it every couple months to stay youthful.
Graduated from high school in 1985. I'm still catching up with all the stuff I missed back then, including this vid. Weirdly beautiful.
Old School. Kurtis Legend.
The legend speaks!
Kurtis blow e muito bom
Uma lenda da música Black, grande cantor, destaque som Rogério DJ jardim das oliveiras Fortaleza Ceará.

This song should play everyday during Black History Month.
I think this is what inspired both Tim and Eric AND Team America

This relates so much to today's world.... Not much has changed or will change..
Change the name from "Reagan to Trump"
This beat is so similar to the freakazoid beat. Gotta be a sample.

Ismail great interpretation.
For those days, he was more like a Full Force dancer (a little weaker, of course!) than the King of Rap,
kurtis your the king.its sad how this wank music we listen to is slowly killing old music and killing the old 80's 90's artist off slowly???
I like this song and this video.
Long time I have been trying to write lyrics of this song. There are parts that do not completely understand. Like sample before M. L. King speaks. Any help?
Thank you!
No help from anyone... I did for myself!
I'm só Glad you figured that out ALL by yourself. Congrats🎉

BRAZIL AT 0:09
@s88fifo Ah i get it now lol. Thanks no probs! Have a good weekend!
I need this lyric for one work,where i could found it ?
Kurtis Blow auto tune before all these new rapper's.
Rap had multiple sides in the '80s. And it all had an audience. Today the audience all wants one thing. The audience is dumber today, that's why.
2018?
Yo what the fuck was Kurtis Blow doing here LMAO...im waiting for the rhyme like "tic,tic,tic,tic tawn,tic tic" lol
Who made the beat...art of noize??
They wouldn't allow this in schools today, too pro American 😂
subliminar...
Is that Vinyls on the deck?
Looks like LaserDiscs
Respond to this video...
Run DMC is tight
@Nuhtin4u is this a good thing or a bad thing
