Time goes quicker than quick, man - I'm 39 and this still sounds fresh to me after all those years... I'm still listening to the Cactus album - these guys were LEGENDS!!!
@@zahidkhan5733 sorry, about that.. my great grand-daughter (1 year old) was playing with my keyboard. She loves this song and I must play it everyday for her.. ^_^
3rd Bass didn't have a lot of mainstream success but MC Search is highly respected within the industry. For example he was the executive producer on Nas' Illmatic album.
These dudes always get slept on when it comes to milestones in Rap. They were the only other white rap group to sell out The Apollo. And their beef was great.
@The Actual truth It wasn't unprovoked. A lot of rappers hated Ice back then. For the same reason that a lot of punk bands hated Blink 182, and a lot of glam bands hated Poison: They watered down their genres.
@The Actual truth >"How did Vanilla Ice water down the genre?" Did you ever listen to his fucking music, or look at his style? The black rappers didn't have some conspiracy to take him down. Think of how fucking ridiculous you sound. They hated him because he made a fucking joke of their genre. I don't hate Rob Van Winkle. In fact, good for him for his overall success in life. But the Vanilla Ice of the early 1990s was rightfully ridiculed, because he was a clown.
@The Actual truth Am I at least 40? I grew up around this kind of music in the early 90s, just as much as punk and heavy metal. That's all that you need to know. Even if I hadn't, my age doesn't disqualify my opinion that Ice was a clown. And none of those acts that you listed compare with the level of fakeness and buffoonery that Ice put out in 1991. There's a difference between being a funny act, and a clown show.
Legend has it you just said the dumbest thing anybody has ever said. Vanilla Ice sold 20 million albums and made millions, still making millions. This was 3 bass biggest hit riding the coat tails of Vanilla Ice.
They were talking about the sellouts and made a fair point!! Awesome talent these guys, like most of the late 80's and early 90's. Todays so-called "rappers" don't have any of the talent of the golden era artists!!!
+Johnny Brist In 1991, this video was intentionally STUPID. It was designed and making a satirical point about Vanilla Ice: He sat the bar low for White Hip Hop and nearly erased Beastie Boys from the public memory, with his gimmick,fake street talk, and embarrassing dancing and hit single. Ice also ILLEGALLY sampled Under Pressure and then DENIED he sampled it saying it was totally different. Ice got the satirical ass kicking he deserved here. But Jim Carrey on In Living Color pretty much drove the final nail in the coffin on his career.
3 rd bass, spring 1991. I bought this tape right after we went to see the victory parade from gulf war I in Washington mall. Right before Summer school & football camp. Cant believe its been 19 years...world have changed a lot since then.
@@dgoldstein491 1991 living in Coney Island going to chill on the pier playing this on the boom box. And when I mention about being white and Jewish. No one believed. Some laughed like it as a joke.
They can be whites but Mc Serch is from Far Rockaway (Black neighbourhood) and Pete Nice is from South Floral Park (Blackneighbourhood) they are real boys from the ghetto
This album "Derelicts of Dialect" is a fucken work of genius. The Intermissions are awesome and this song is almost incomplete here on RUclips without listening to the album all the way through.
"You stole somebody's record, then ya looped it, ya looped it, Ya boosted the record, then ya looped it, ya looped it." Well, good thing you guys never did that, right?
Phil H They got Peter Gabriel’s blessing to sample “Sledgehammer”. Vanilla Ice got sued by Queen and David Bowie for sampling “Under Pressure” without permission
I'm not trying to be rude. And I'd say something like if I didn't know who they were, I'd never recognize these dudes just casually roaming around. But then it's like oh wait, Id never regconize them anyways. I'm pretty sure I was still playing w/ trolls back then. Not the I. Net kind. Those things w) the wild hair that had gems in their belly. In a way, some of these groups really don't seem that old, but at the same time do. Like there's ppl who are even up to 60, maybe even 70 that got down to this. But you'd never think that about older folks bc well they're just older folks. I mean it's kinda like coming across a dad type, that looks like someone you'd never talk to 😅. Then you play random sh & he's like, 😯 ohhhh sh. This used to be my jam. & It'd be like 😯 word? Yeah, I used to break dance to this. Liiiikeee 🤔? Yeah, it's almost like a Lincoln telling you he used to rap or something. That's the only way I know how to explain it. I promise I'm not trying to be insulting. Like, the progressive 60s decades folks... Have got to be around 80s by now :/ 🤔🤷🏻♀️. Ok I'll shut up now
I remember when I first moved to Atlanta from Chicago 1990.and then in 1991 this song came out from the derelicts of dialect I already had the cactus cassette now I have them both on c.d. the derelict of dialect brings back good memories it was hot as hell I was 21(1989) and 23(1991) when these c.d.s came out now I'm the big 51 and I will listen to hip-hop till I die p.s. this is real HIP-HOP not this stuff they are putting out today there is a hell of a difference.......
When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I remember I heard some goofy song on the radio, and the only part I could remember was the chorus. Tonight, just for fun, I looked for the song and found this. Hearing this song that I may never have heard again after so long literally gave me chills. Never mind that it's bizarre, it' s still another part of my childhood recovered thanks to RUclips.
I DONT CARE WHAT NO ONE SAY, THEY ROCKED THIS SONG, THE FLOW, THE DANCING AND THAT BEAT........ONE OF THE BEST SAMPLES EVER. AND IM NOT WHITE, JUST IN CASE YOU THINK I AM.
Most Rap IS a bunch of phony entertainers because it sound like a bunch of guys that are pissed off because the guy that was suppose to sing the melody didn't show up.
For those that are calling 3rd Bass hypocrites for sampling Peter Gabriel and The Who, it’s meant to be a shot at Hammer and Vanilla Ice but also a parody of that era in rap in general, kinda like a Weird Al.
All people who gave this a thumbs down must be weak Action Bronson, G-Eazy, Machine Gun Kelly, Post Malone listening to a**holes. This is Old School Hip-Hop at its finest.
it's amazing as a 27 year old man i listen to this and i swear to goodness this song from 1991 is better than any of the bullshit that is out now, it's ironic that 3rd bass said rap was going Pop in 1991. it's like they predict the future because in 2011 all this Nikki Minaj, Drake, Waka Flocka, and Lil' Wayne bullshit is pure CRAP...
In 90 or 91, I came home and my GF was listening to "Ice Ice Baby." My stereo was consequentiality smashed into maybe 5 million pieces. I love this song. it was obvious at the time who it was about. ... To anyone who talked shyt about Henry Rollins: HAHAHAHAHAHA Rollins in GOD. Look over your shoulder before trying to sleep tonight.
its funny because 3rd bass best song on youtube GAS FACE hasnt hit 1million yet after vevo. but vanilla ice, has 56 million., AND IM PRETTY SURE THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE PETER GABRIELS SLEDGE HAMMER
Not the point, the point of the song is Ice and his DJ's thievery of the Bowie/Queen song and pretending they didn't sample it. You won't find 3rd Bass saying they didn't sample Peter Gabriel, they gave credit in the album notes. Ice didn't and tried to say they came up with the loop and it was original, which it wasn't.
nice to see 100 thousand hits, a year or two ago it had like 2ooo and i thought it had been forgotten, this song rocks and so does back to the grill and steppin to the am 3rd bass and Me r from Rockaway peace

This Short Verse Dedicated to Robin Thicke and Pharell you Stole somebody Record Looped It and Boosted The Record Looped it You Getting Sued Kinda Stoopid
I'm 35 as well, so I know what your saying, dude. When I heard this 90s on 9 (SiriusXM Radio, if you don't know, BTW) a few months ago I said to my self "Oh, my god, I haven't heard this song in 21 years." Right after I said that, I felt extremely old.
You gotta love it... They sampled a pop hit to make a track criticizing rappers who rehash pop hits for mainstream success... and by doing so, they reached mainstream success! ?!?!
Thanks for putting this up and the list of the samplings. Kind of a shame that it got turned into a one-hit wonder for, ironically enough, jabbing at the one hit wonders. They're a solid group.
3rd Bass was the shit period!!! Everyone sampled but that wasn't the issue Base had with Ice. Vanilla Ice issue was he claim to have live a certain lifestyle and was caught in a flatout lie.
No his manager put some bullshit bio out & he didn't know! Some shit was true but a lot was this guy making shit up! He always talked about into racing & rap, racing & rap, from day one. You know these assholes don't care who they hurt as long as they get the initial money before it hurts SOMEONE ELSE! They did it & left him alone with THEIR LIES to answer to! Nice to do to a young kid right!!!
So many don't even know this pioneering rap group or their beef with Vanilla Ice, which ruined Ice's rep and career for a long time. I liked them both, but rap beefs were what it was all about, especially back then. Mc Serch owns I believe nearly 100% of NAS's music catalog and has for like 25-30+ years! I'm sure it served Mc Serch well financially and I think Serch exec produced most of Nas's biggest albums. And now he's selling it all, which I think is cool for Nas and for anyone who will buy it...to which there should be plenty of interested buyers. Mc Serch shoud be more well known. But I'm a fan of Mc Serch & the Prime Minister Pete Nice. 3rd Bass will always have a special place in my heart. My memories of of their creative, fun videos and that time of life was just something special. Mc Serch....DO ANOTHER RAP REALITY SHOW!!?♡

It's crazy that hip hop is going through the same issues now.. I feel another golden age coming on..
Is that Henry Rollins as Vanilla Ice??
yep
I'm 35 as well, so I know what your saying, dude. When I heard this 90s on 9 (SiriusXM Radio, if you don't know, BTW) a few months ago I said to my self "Oh, my god, I haven't heard this song in 21 years." Right after I said that, I felt extremely old.
2:20 MC Serch Killin' it.
I am a white Latino. I grew up in Plainfield, NJ. Mostly black at the time. Everybody loved these guys. Everybody had that tape.
I can see why he wanted to battle hammer
+Daigo Pimpin' Pete Nice kills it better!
You gotta love it... They sampled a pop hit to make a track criticizing rappers who rehash pop hits for mainstream success... and by doing so, they reached mainstream success! ?!?!
Thanks for putting this up and the list of the samplings. Kind of a shame that it got turned into a one-hit wonder for, ironically enough, jabbing at the one hit wonders. They're a solid group.
Poppin the damn weasel in 2020...who wit me
just haters that couldn't handle the fame of others.
Na..they were just pissed off with sell out rappers
1991! Gotta love 90's rap. You just can't beat it with today's garbage.
3rd Bass was the shit period!!! Everyone sampled but that wasn't the issue Base had with Ice. Vanilla Ice issue was he claim to have live a certain lifestyle and was caught in a flatout lie.
Third base IS shit....I agree with u there..
No his manager put some bullshit bio out & he didn't know! Some shit was true but a lot was this guy making shit up! He always talked about into racing & rap, racing & rap, from day one. You know these assholes don't care who they hurt as long as they get the initial money before it hurts SOMEONE ELSE! They did it & left him alone with THEIR LIES to answer to! Nice to do to a young kid right!!!
Vanilla ice didn't even understand half of what he was rapping. Facts.
So many don't even know this pioneering rap group or their beef with Vanilla Ice, which ruined Ice's rep and career for a long time.
I liked them both, but rap beefs were
what it was all about, especially back then.
Mc Serch owns I believe nearly 100% of NAS's music catalog and has for like 25-30+ years!
I'm sure it served Mc Serch well financially and I think Serch exec produced most of Nas's biggest albums. And now he's selling it all, which I think is cool for Nas and for anyone who will buy it...to which there should be plenty of interested buyers.
Mc Serch shoud be more well known. But I'm a fan of Mc Serch & the Prime Minister Pete Nice.
3rd Bass will always have a special place in my heart. My memories of of their creative, fun videos and that time of life was just something special.
Mc Serch....DO ANOTHER RAP REALITY SHOW!!?♡
