This is the beginning of hip hop! This blew my mind when I heard this. We had never heard anything like it. One of the electric beats was sampled from a famous German group called Kraftwerk. Song is “Trans Europe Express”. They were game changing!! Every hip hop band used to sample from this song.
This song was/is so important. It took Hip Hop around the world. Still bangs on any system. Other electro hip hop of this calibre: Arthur Baker - Breakers Revenge Twilight22 - Siberian Nights Newcleus - Jam On It Man Parrish - Hip Hop Be Bop
Kraftwerk was super popular for the younger set in the early 80's and their songs could regularly be heard at skating rinks and dance clubs. Much of this Euro Electro influenced the early days of hip hop and they made a big impression on Bam!
This song was a game changer in the streets in 1982. It was huge in ushering the breakdancing movement and getting "Electro" music moving during the early to mid-80s.
Who doesn't know this iconic song bambatta had influences from new wave electric to blend with hip hop. Pop lockers goes off on this. Everywhere was playing this to death classic
Kraftwerk. They were at their peak around 1977 - 1981 with the albums "Trans Europe Express", "The Man Machine / Die Mensch- Maschine and Computer World / Computerwelt with the hits "Trans Europe Express" which this song is based on, "Robots" , The Model /Das Model, "Pocket Calculator". "Itsh Ni Shan Shi (sp ?) is from "Numbers". That synth solo part is by Ennio Morricone, "Fistful of Dollars" theme.
You've heard pieces of this in different songs. It's been sampled in modern hip hop so many times. The City Girls have a song out now sampling it. When this song came out in 1982 it was so different than anything on the radio at the time. That was a brand new beat in R&B/Hip Hop and everybody just fell in love with it. This song got everybody dancing and hyped!
This one started that term electro-funk in the hip hop world. Other notables: Electric Kingdom by Twilight 22, HipHop Beebop by Man Parrish, Clear by Cybotron, Al-Naafyish by Hashim
I was 7 years old in 1982'' when this song came out. I remember my dad use too pick me up from summer school And on the way home my uncle would be playing this on the radio in my dads van. It was Afrika Bambaata's planet Rock that would be the introduction to Rap music, And Hip Hop in its early baby stages in my life as a little kid in the early 80s. Planet Rocks sound comes from a Europian band group called ''Kraftwerk'' And their sound would be influenced for others to make songs similar to Planet Rock with that new electronic sound like Jam On It, Pac Jam, Egypt, By The Egyptian Lover And so many others. These types of songs represented the B.Boy Breakdance Era of the early mid 80s🎶😎😎😎
It sounds familiar because it's been sampled a few times and you've probably heard more than one rapper / artist give props to Afrika Bambaataa because this song made it's mark in the industry.
Huge,huge club song! dance floor was always packed! I remember me and a friend of mine walked into a club, and they were having a dance contest, and we freestyled and won the contest to this song! such good memories!❤

This was the jam in 82, lunch time in 9th grade behind the band building bumpin this on someones box, with a group of of guys poppin, or blastin this in the car on the cruise after fri night football game, man bringing back memories.
Man you found the ultimate party song from back in the day. This was a must; back when you had the 12" version with the instrumental version on the other side. We would mix several different songs with that same beat playing in the background. GREAT MEMORIES. Good choice my bruh.
if u grew up in the 80's, born in the early 70's, this is as iconic as it can get. A must have in your music library, as this song will never be forgotten.
I was 12 in 1982 when I first heard this. I live on Merseyside, near Liverpool in the UK. It was pretty much the tune that started the popping/locking/break dancing craze in the UK.
This one song was a NUCLEAR BOMB in Hip Hop when this first drop. In Black Music or Hip Hop this song basically changed the world. A million folks copied and repeated this beat. LA went NUTS on these Electro Beats after Bambaata dropped this. Miami Bass and Luke Skywalker stole this beat and created a million records. Luther Campbell created the whole Miami Bass sub culture all behind this ONE TRACK. Atlanta was also heavy into making these beats in the mid 80s. 1982 was an AMAZING year in the early development of Hip Hop. All because of this ONE RECORD. And Bambaata got this groove from Kraftwerk. European techno group from the 70s that INVENTED Electronic Music.
In "Sean Of The Dead" they're completely sh*tfaced in middle of the night, music cranked and jamming out when the roommate comes down and rips into them for waking him with their "f*cking hip hop music!". When he's finally done yelling, one of them quietly corrects him, "It's not hip hop, it's electro"
Afikka Baambaata One Of The Founding Father's Of Hip Hop " The Zulu Nation" This Was A Groud Breaking Game Changer No One Was Making Music Like This The Drum Track Is Legendary And Synthesizer Solo In The Chorus Is From Trans Europe Express By Kraftwerk Aye Jamm Kraftwerk?? Oh My Freaking God They're Someplace Else Absolutely Insane They're Production? Bruuuuuuh
See you gotta understand... In 1982 when this came on the radio, the world stopped!! This sounded like some futuristic space rap. Sure we had hip hop songs before this. But this JJ was different... It engulfed you!!❤❤
It's funny how u say how much hip-hop changed in such a short time because it's true. Every 3 years or so there'd be a new sound and the old sound would become irrelevant. That's what gets us older heads so angry at hip-hop today. The creativity just isn't there. It hasn't changed all that much in the last 15-20 years. Everyone just regurgitating the same thing over and over again.
You'd almost forget that the early days of Hip-Hop had a significant period when the electro sound was dominant. Check out Clear by Cybotron. You probably know it from Missy Elliott's Work It ;-)
I can't underestimate how major this was when it first came out. people lost their minds. a celebration of 808 drum machine programming. nothing sounded like it at the time. and it pretty much gave birth to electro hip-hop and freestyle. plus the kraftwerk references were major. check Looking For The Perfect Beat or Planet Patrol Play At Your Own Risk. or One More Shot by C Bank. then dive into the whole Computer Games album by Kraftwerk.
Hop hip should always have voice for political and social issues…..but let’s not forget it started out as total party and good time music. Sampling Kraftwerk as well🤯
The reason it sounded so familiar to you, is because it has been ripped off like a thousand times by a thousand different artists. You definitely heard it before, you just didn’t know the origin.
Yeah this was a gamechanger. This samples multiple tracks from the German group Kraftwerk, who were pioneers in electronic music.
this song samples Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk which is worth checking out
Kraftwerk is awesome.
I forgot about that!

This was a GIANT hit in 1982! A landmark electro-hip hop cut.
My friend this song was the bomb back in the day! If you could dance through the whole song, putting it down, you were legit!🤣🤣❤
I’m ready to start pop lockin
This is 1 song that's a must at house parties,cookouts ,weddings,etc to this day.old & young🔥🔥🔥

I had to pull out the cardboard for this one. Then I had to call 911 for my old azz!🤣
😅🤣😂….Not the breakdancing cardboard!
Lol!!!😄😄🤣
@@SopranoSistah oh! That cardboard! 🤦🏾♂️😂
There were a number of songs like this back in the day but no one did it like Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force.
Basically with this one song... You felt the energy that the South Bronx kids had been digging for sometime by 1982.❤❤
One of the first proper Electro-Funk Tracks - This song changed everything
I got this song on a tape while living in Germany and immediately started poppin and breakin...buying all the Adidas I could...yeah J!!!!
Changed the world 🌎

Hi JJ! This song crossed over to the R&B club seen, my older brothers & sisters used to jam to this. Peace!
The 80’s had some of the best music hands down
True!

This song is Hip Hop Gold standard that propelled Hip Hop into international waters.
Ah, this takes me straight to the club. Man, those were some fun times.
You should try Jam On It and Jam On Revenge by Neucleus.
I'll forever be grateful for the GTA games for exposing me to so many 80s classics, like this one.
Funk meets rap meets electronica. Word. Dang the skating rink was lit back in the day.😅
This song, jam on it, Egyptian lover...man. back in the 80s it made you want to breakdance even if you couldn't 😂.
Sounded very futuristic at the time. They played it a lot in 1982 on AM 1230 KLAV/Las Vegas.
Play At Your Own Risk is like the same as this track. Both obviously great
Both the mastermind of Mr Arthur Baker
Yeah I actually prefer that version but this is great too.
Breakdancing groove back in the day
One of the most classic jams!
Yes this song did change a lot of things but you have to give up to Kraftwerks... Who they sampled without their permission
His other song,The Perfect Beat was also a house party jam back in the day

I was a kid in the 80s and a B Boy dancer and that was the jam to break dance to especially battling against other crews
the ps1 game skate and destroy
That was the jam summertime 1982
This was the first song I remember that changed the musical influence in Hip Hop music from the snare hit to the bass hit.
NUMBERS!!!
Break dance Era
This was the jam back in the day!

So true☑️….nearly zero lyrical skills…. and resampling the samples of the samples, so identifying anything original peels back too many layers. 🤔🙄😐
Back in the day, we weren’t afraid to let the beat cook for a minute…you weren’t goin nowhere…
👍👍👍👍👍👍💯❤✔ this is the most classic hip hop song... period
You'd almost forget that the early days of Hip-Hop had a significant period when the electro sound was dominant. Check out Clear by Cybotron. You probably know it from Missy Elliott's Work It ;-)
Oops, should be Lose Control, not Work It. My bad :-)
I'm break dancing my ass off!!!
Bambaataa turned out to be a piece of sh.. later we learned, but this song is a hip hop classic and a game changer
This started breakdancing and freestyle music.
If it wasn’t for this music today wouldn’t exist
This was my childhood!!
Have to look for the perfect beat next
I can't underestimate how major this was when it first came out. people lost their minds. a celebration of 808 drum machine programming. nothing sounded like it at the time. and it pretty much gave birth to electro hip-hop and freestyle. plus the kraftwerk references were major. check Looking For The Perfect Beat or Planet Patrol Play At Your Own Risk. or One More Shot by C Bank. then dive into the whole Computer Games album by Kraftwerk.
sounds like aliens landing in the hood amazing
You probably heard the beginning on a episode of Chappelle show when Dave was break dancing with a broom
React to Kendrick Lamar keishas song and Poe man dreams great songs
this has been sampled so many times thats why it sounds familiar to you
