Yes, this was a beautiful sampling of Kraftwerk's 'Trans Europe Express.' Afrika Bambaataa and John Lydon doing Time Zone's 'World Destruction' is another masterpiece. It isn't electro, but Johnny Rotten doing a duet with Afrika Bambaataa was magical. The video was subversive as well.

and getting Bam's man meat rubbed up all over you it turns out.
I’m just an whitey pushing 60, in a small B.C. town…. I love this! I saw Public Enemy and Anthrax in Vancouver over 30 years ago. They did bring the noise and it was killer. Music is like the sky…it’s for all to love
It is a futuristic dance piece it played in alot of big dance clubs across the city where I live in Toronto it is pretty repitive but it really keeps you moving .
I’m only 19 but when I was younger want to say 6 I did breakdancing and hip hop classes this song was a good one to breakdance to I know when I’m your age I’m going to feel the same I already do life’s too short
I FOUND A MIX WITH SUGAR HILL, AFRICAN BAMBATTA, ETC. IT'S CALL HIP HOP OF THE 80S. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE IMAGE IS GRAND MASTER, DJ WITH VINYL ALBUM AND MIXER .
This goes out to my uncle who I loved dearly, he passed away after a battle with cancer and he loved the oldschool breakdancing beats from his childhood. FLY HIGH UNCLE JAY!
Incredible with Kraftwerk music in the background. Like this way of revisiting music, very innovative. Let's hip hop live another couple of 50 years and much more !
In the Backround? The beat is from the Kraftwerk Song Numbers and the Melody from Trans Europe Express. This is basically a mashup with 2 Kraftwerk songs
The power this record had back in the day coming out of the speakers was just ridiculous giving me goosebumps again very special indeed..for me this decade and through to the 90's is when hip hop was at it's best it just to me had more funk and soul to it, it was just happier 🙏
When I first heard this, it changed my life, as an East London kid in the early 80's. I was confused, expanded, hopeful. It was a feeling in me, that Aliens had descended and shared a music future. It was truly exhilarating.
benard felt the same as you albeit i'm from Newcastle. amazing especially on a walkman walking about the streets practice all week for the under 16s disco on friday

Absolutely. Mull it over. Ponder that sentiment. Question. Critique. Try HARD to deny. Negate that ish, even. TRY to turn that TRUTH on its head. Look at it as if you were born in another decade, era. U end right at, “nope, I was a youth during the ZENITH OF AMERICAN POPULAR MUSIC, and it permeates my psyche.” O and u could do u about five phd thesis’ FAT AND FILLED WITH THE FACTS SUPPORTING YOUR STATEMENTS.
The goosebumps i get from this very amazing and creative music video and the fact that i used to breakdance to it from 1992 to 2001! The dance battles at the clubs and special performance for certain music groups that were local and out of states. How i miss those wonderful and peaceful days where the energy was always positive among everything and everyone.💯
This was one of the most important tunes to come out of the 80’s. They were the sound of the future. Still sounds dope in the 2020’s. An amazing track.
Sorry to burst ya'll bubble but hip hop is dead. I too was once in denial but I came out of it.

@@Plexpara This was an era of New York's greatness from the 70s through the early 90s giving the world music, fashion, nightlife, and not to mention the creativity of the New York art world. Don't know where you are from or if you lived this era and I really don't care. I DON'T THINK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD YOU MIXED ELECTRO WITH HIP-HOP during the time
I just turned 56 and I love all kinds of music and I’ve heard some really great songs in my time but to this day if I’m working on something or you know sometimes the radio in your head starts playing something so you don’t even realize your beat boxing to yourself this is the beat that always hits my brain first it stayed with me from the skating rink to the club to now playing it for my grand children and I tell them it’s a shame that they’ll never know wat it was like to be young in that era gangs were having dance battles instead of drive bys not once back then when I left the house to go to the club did I turn around and look back at my house like this might be the last time I see it like I did from around 2008 til I quit drinking and partying in 2018 I got so many scars on my knees and elbows from fighting in the street I give God all the glory for letting me see 56 and I gotta give moms credit the power of a praying mother is priceless I put that on God and everything else I love in this world , but back in the day all love ✌🏻
Where did you live ? I remember the 70s and the 80s was a wild era. You had to fight , dodge shootouts , and make sure your chain , sneakers, and jewelry were not taken.
A definite dance starter! So much soul, creativity, just great vibes!! This will getcha up, movin' & groovin'.......straight jammin'! Thank y'all for sharing this awesome masterpiece with the world. Got nothin' but love for it 🎼😊💕💃
Looking back, it was awesome growing up during this wave. At the time I didn’t think of it as anything really special. Hip Hop was everywhere all the time where I grew up.
Electro music is overlooked in the hip hop and techno world. It was the begining but the documentarys never mention it. Electro forever.
Word, Dr Dre is a good example of that. Before his g-funk rap he did a lot of electro.
@@ronperez784 yea world class wreckin cru was electro all the way. Electro was bass music back in the day. Im a sucker for it. LOL

I'm the same age..I remember being so little and you couldn't drive anywhere without hearing this playing in every car
Hard not to want to, right? Still an epic jam😎
WD 40 my brother, WD 40😎👍🏿
I don't know what I was thinking one particular night when I was gettin' down, but my left foot was swollen the next day...
I'm a New Yorker..from boogie down Bronx..so this song hits home hard..
The AUSSIE RayGun can learn from here❤....😂😂😂
OMG forgot all about but this was epic back in the day , needs a ten hour version !
This was when NYC was at its best-delivering music to the world
When MTV was the dopest thing on the planet, had it on whole days, listening to the newest drops of the era.
this music came from the world to NYC.
its just a mashup of 2 kraftwerk songs
@@Plexpara I think we all know its Kraftwerk
@@pepsiq11965 so you know your first comment was wrong? nice thx
@@Plexpara This was an era of New York's greatness from the 70s through the early 90s giving the world music, fashion, nightlife, and not to mention the creativity of the New York art world. Don't know where you are from or if you lived this era and I really don't care. I DON'T THINK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD YOU MIXED ELECTRO WITH HIP-HOP during the time
Shout out to the City Girls for getting this sample cleared! Thanks Legend!
Raygun done her best, let her express herself! Brilliant Bambaata! UK 🇬🇧
sure, but not at the olympic games
GREAT TIMES TO BE IN THE BRONX...I MISS THIS REAL HIP HOP
I Love this song : It’s so much of an energy wave. The lyrics, the production, style, moves
I will always bring this up among The Best
A combination of Hip Hop and Electronic music 😮
AB is a musical God!!!!
bruh as sumone who makes beats.... i just now realized how ahead of time this song is!!!!!!!!! this track is Crazy!!!
Riot in Lagos. Ryuichi Sakamoto RIP
Beat is actually from the Kraftwerk song "Numbers". The synth is from the Kraftwerk song Trans Europe Extress.
I just turned 56 and I love all kinds of music and I’ve heard some really great songs in my time but to this day if I’m working on something or you know sometimes the radio in your head starts playing something so you don’t even realize your beat boxing to yourself this is the beat that always hits my brain first it stayed with me from the skating rink to the club to now playing it for my grand children and I tell them it’s a shame that they’ll never know wat it was like to be young in that era gangs were having dance battles instead of drive bys not once back then when I left the house to go to the club did I turn around and look back at my house like this might be the last time I see it like I did from around 2008 til I quit drinking and partying in 2018 I got so many scars on my knees and elbows from fighting in the street I give God all the glory for letting me see 56 and I gotta give moms credit the power of a praying mother is priceless I put that on God and everything else I love in this world , but back in the day all love ✌🏻
I remember seeing them live at the Fun House in NYC, god I miss the 80s and 90s, best time to be a teen and alive!!, I need a fookin time machine!!
I remember seeing Madonna there when she was nobody..Jellybean Benitez was the DJ..good times
Can I go with you? Miss these times.

..... THIS RECORD IS, "STILL", HOT TO THIS DAY, "MY GOODNESS"
This song will go down in musical history as a classic like Beethoven's 5th Symphony...one of, if not the original rap cut that birthed Hip Hop
Wish I could go back to the 80s. The music was the bomb, people got along and just wanted to dance.
That’s right. We all held hands all the time. Unless we were breakdancing.
I hear that
"people got along" but it was the deadliest decade regarding black folks? Shiiiiiittt 😂
Where did you live ? I remember the 70s and the 80s was a wild era. You had to fight , dodge shootouts , and make sure your chain , sneakers, and jewelry were not taken.
This group paved the way for a lot of singing groups.
Happy 50th to HIP HOP✊🏽
A definite dance starter! So much soul, creativity, just great vibes!! This will getcha up, movin' & groovin'.......straight jammin'! Thank y'all for sharing this awesome masterpiece with the world. Got nothin' but love for it
🎼😊💕💃
Thank you, Cool J
Looking back, it was awesome growing up during this wave. At the time I didn’t think of it as anything really special. Hip Hop was everywhere all the time where I grew up.
He tried to bring peace to the gangs in NY via music. To some extent for awhile he succeeded. An admirable attempt sir....peace.
It's weird to think that a 20 year old kid that's breakin' and pop-lockin' in this video is now today a 60 year old man!
That fuss wuz us.....
Time runs All over us
Thanks that was once me.......now at 52 years old my bones just pop........and lock now.
(To the uh) Tick Tock (you don't stop).....
At least he's not getting popped in the ass against his will by Bambaataa, though!
