we played this at christmas dinner and my sophisticated professional 53 year old father...had a flash back and started hitting all these moves so clean...our house went crazy!!!, man I didnt even know pops got down like that!
I have done the same thing even at the country dance hall.. Sometimes they'll play hip-hop and some of those young kids who think they can dance start dancing and I'll go Slip the DJ a $10 bill so he can play this song and I f*** them up every time
@Mr.J def not underrated. The house party movies pushed their popularity thru the roof at that time. The movies also added an R-rated element to their PG/PG-13 lyrics and image.
People slept on kid n play lyrically but they showcased their rhyme skills in this one,one of the dopest videos of all time,the "golden age" of hip-hop!!!
Hell yeah I miss my children hood growing up we had block party and in the summer time in Brooklyn we have big apple games now it at the same anymore I miss the 80 and 90
No talking about catching a body (they just caught bodies dancing) no N words, no cursing, etc..., etc.... Just having fun. Just GOOD MUSIC 🔥 🔥 🔥 Ok Wu Tang Time!!
Listening to this joint makes me reminiscence about the good ole' days when rap was about having fun. No guns, bling, hoes or drugs... just plain fun. I grew up during these times and miss it terribly. I was at most of the block parties in Brookly and what you saw in this video was typical of Brooklyn block parties.
CrowdPleeza I try to explain that to the kids I work with today. I told them if you couldn't dance when I grew up you were considered soft. I'm still dancing , will be foreva dancing.
@@TheRealNewWhirledOrder ... it's clear you don't understand what that means, smh.... when we say "give someone their flowers" we're not talking about actual flowers, we're talking about giving them props/credit/respect/appreciation for what they do/did. See, you trolling and don't even know what we're talking about.
Greatest thing about this video is that the kids dancing are from the neighborhood and not paid. They saw the video going on and started working out. Kid told the story and that's why it looks so natural.
The good old days when rap was the real shit! Nothing but fun, fun, fun! Cool rhymes, cool hair, cool clothes, cool moves(and lots of it) so much energy and a lot more talent! Not always talking about money. mercedes, champagne, mansions, girls, nice threads, etc. way better than the stuff we hear today!
Classic joint! This song came out when I was a sophomore in high school back when rap music was fun and about having a good time! One of my favorite rap songs EVER!
I was eight years old when this came out and couldn't wait to be grown to party like this. Now I am middle-aged, would do anything to go back to my youth. Life lol......

They always had a nice combo of dance routines and rappin together. Of course there were others who were better rappers but it takes skill to do both so mad props.
Kid n Play was jus Sooo Dope & Smoove & they didn't hafta be disrespecting wmn, All in the media for negativity or Anything like that jus to be recognized ijs they were One of the FIRST Rap groups to hav many Great movies that's Still Classics til this day FORREAL💯🎥😍🎬👀😍& they had Fun Clean rap that Any & Everybody can lissen, groove & certainly dance too💃🏽🎶🎙🎶🖤🕺🏽They were mad trendsetters & they Dfntly ARE LEGENDS & Stl are a BIG part of HipHop cos HipHop isn't jus for the newcomers At All itz for LEGENDS FIRST & FOREMOST cos they paved the way💯💯💯💯 & Kid n Play shud be & need to be recognized for wut they put into the industry Shonuff!!💯💯🖤🎶🎙🎶💯💯
My favorite rap and dance group. No one can touch the influence these guys had on me back in the days. They are the greatest!!!! #Kid'nPlay4ever #2Hype #GettinFunky
Crisp clean rhymes with tight dance moves! Real talent. No hiding lack of talent with cursing and jiggling asses! Maybe someday this style will return.
Kid & Play were the nicest dancers who could rap....that kick step was vicious...they stayed fresh dipped especially Play...in high school, he was my role model for fashion!
This Kid 'N Play Classic Hip-Hop track was a Big Jam back in the day. What Hip-Hop track today in 2020, can compete with this classic? This when HIP-HOP was the REAL DEAL. I still love this JAM to this day.
The first time I ever saw this video and I saw Kid N' Play standing next to each other at the beginning, and with the James Brown scratch, I knew this song was going to blow up.
This is the golden age of Hip Hop back when it was fun, no talk about killing people or drugs etc. The Golden Age Rappers made Rap Music mainstream, but they did not make as much money as today's rappers.
I had all this stuff on CDS And Mixtapes.Everything from 1987 1988,1989 yes I was a dancer in Middle School.Great awesome memories I didn't watch their Cartoon but House Party 1, 2, were huge then.I loved every genre of Hip Hop. But I liked Rock,Punk,Alternative, Grunge,So I could adjust to the 1990's well. As soon as Boy Bands and Brittney Spears hit. Music was over and took Rap with it.
Real Hip Hop. This one is still a classic masterpiece. This was back when the labels show cased and promoted the artists. Rap videos were strong. The labels didn't have to promote the cars, jewelry, guns, and women.
I love this time in rap wit kid n play. It was 1988 everybody was doing there thing. And you did not have a million rapper than l miss those times. It was better than.
This is New York hip hop what happened to them ? They stopped being created and started copying Los Angeles then the South no ones fault but theirs . FACTS
***Magical*** I grew up in (Queens in the 80's) the NYC area and remember the days of block parties! This is awesome to see. We used to have block parties like this every summer! So much fun!

This was their coldest cut, it would pack the dance floor.
Once upon a time, when Hip hop wasn't miserable.
48 years old and enjoyed every year of my teenage years with great hip hop like this!!
Me too
Word! We kicked it right, bro!
I’m turning 48 in Aug and still remember these dance moves. Of course, I quickly drop to my yoga mat afterwards 😂
Hell yeah 😂

88-89 was hip-hop culture at it's finest!!

oh yeah!!
Kid n play to underrated.
They probably had one of the more underrated runs in hip hop history
@Mr.J And a Saturday morning cartoon too!
@Mr.J def not underrated. The house party movies pushed their popularity thru the roof at that time. The movies also added an R-rated element to their PG/PG-13 lyrics and image.
I wouldn’t say underrated they were HUGE 88-94
Some of things they were being called sell outs for most rappers and doing now
They brand was huge. 165 haters who don't know ish about the 90's real and lyrical rap💋💖
You could NEVER know how much I miss these days!!

Man u have no idea how I missed rap city watching this
Oh I know
People slept on kid n play lyrically but they showcased their rhyme skills in this one,one of the dopest videos of all time,the "golden age" of hip-hop!!!
+Jahbril30 Amen
I agree. They had skills!
KING KUMARI I think Kid wrote most of their stuff
KING KUMARI people slept on them because there were so many other poets at that time ...krs 1,eric b,big daddy kane
KING KUMARI hell yeah you know it
They both could dance but Kid was straight glidin wit the moves
Yep...like 0:55 to 1:06 :) Just too great!
Lol that let you know that light skinn shit don't mean nothing and he a half breed
No guns, no thugs, no police sweat'n Brotha's......just straight up block party fun.

The beats were made to dance back in the day. I miss the parties. Everybody was dancing.
Amazing. I'm 22 and vexed at how we lost this pure hip hop. I don't even use a radio anymore.
we all kinda hoping that your generation will watch- break the game down and re-infuse that energy back into hip hop- its all yours now...

I jus played four bangers n a row. Kid n play was bring'n pressure in their era realshit.

No guns , no gangsta signs , no huge amounts of dollars being shown off but real beats , dance and rapping .
How I miss these days!!! Hip hop was for real!!!
+Chadwick Reynolds Yes it was...
I must agree
MINUTE BY MINUTE, YO HOUR BY HOUR, KID N PLAY GOT SOUL POWER....
NO GUNS, NO DRUGS, NO VIOLENCE, AND NO TWERKING........ THE GOLDEN ERA!!!!!!!!!
You damn right
No hair weaves, NO BBL's, NO painted on faces, NO self degradation!!!
Are you crazy? This was the height of the crack epidemic and NYC was the murder capital.
All that happened back then
It did, however we had options to choose the type of hip hop and other music we listened to. Nothing but a good time being had in this video.
Younger generation don't know about this classic hip hop
Great dynamic duo from back in the days. Of real Hip-Hop music.
One of the best choreographed videos ever made.
I was eight years old when this came out and couldn't wait to be grown to party like this. Now I am middle-aged, would do anything to go back to my youth. Life lol......
By far one of the dope videos of 88. Always watched this joint when it came on Rap City
Facts!!!! YO MTV Raps@4-Rap City@430 good ol days🥹
Those dance steps will never go anywhere.
Back when hip-hop had many different elements. Great times.

Late 80s and early 90s was the best time for hip hop. It mistly went downhill after that.
The late 80's to the early 90's definitely the dancing era of rap and R&B.

This is high school music to my ears!! It was released back in 88’ when I was 17 in high school 👍🏾😎
Wasn't born yet. I missed out on a great era
Too many cool moves to count on this video - it’s so much fun to watch!!
This song brings back great memories! This song and others made me realize why I stayed so damn skinny, our dances were workout routines, lol.
eekny turn I’m sayin’!!!

Definitely a party starter back in the day.
Being fly dancing and smoothness thats all you need
I remember recording these videos on VHS so I could rewind them over and over to get them dance steps back then. Classic Shit
