As a 12 year old this blew me away was the tune we use the break and pop to in lunch break at secondary school when we moved the chairs and got the ghetto blaster on. What a classic!
DEF JAM is T LA ROCK, L.L. COOL J, BEASTIE BOYS, NIKKI D, PUBLIC ENEMY, SLICK RICK, EPMD, ORIGINAL CONCEPT, DAYV D, DJ HURRICANE, THIRD BASS and many more. This was DEF JAM created by Rick Rubin and the first official cut from DEF JAM Records was It's Yours featuring Jazzy Jay & T La Rock released in the summer of 1984 under Party Time Records and L.L Cool J released two LP titled singles I Need A Beat and Dangerous in the fall of 1984 before the album Radio was debuted in 1985. CLASSIC HIP HOP!
@@jayelbee1111 I know that the L.L. Cool J 12" LP Single Rock The Bells was released in 1985 on vinyl. This was the (original version) that used the sounds of cowbells while stealing the same beat from MC Shan.
This was a huge hit on the London, UK hip hop scene. I think it was number one on the Groove Records chart for about ten weeks. Massive tune and still sounds fresh
true that. i used to buy echoes magazine back in 1984 to see what electro-funk was charting in the groove records electro charts. glory days. shame i had to sell my entire electro collection back in 2003 when things took a turn for the bad for me.
@@a0b0 Luckily I kept all of mine and early hiphop, mainly purchased from Groove Records. Remember walking in there almost every week and being blown away by these tracks. I wouldn't do that for any hiphop coming out nowadays.
@@maccagrabme i did make a couple of visits to groove records, once in 1984 and again in july 1985. on the first occasion " granny groove " served me. they were slightly cheaper than manchester's spin inn records. there was even a radio 4 programme on granny groove back in the late 80s.
I have this LP (it's dead common you can buy it on line on Discogs for about £2.99,so that is in no way a boast) but I had the vast majority of all these tracks when they came out ,and I think that years before Puffy ,Def Jam with the likes of Chuck Stanley,Tashan ,Alyson Williams did a lot to bridge the gap between Hip Hop and R&B/Soul ,I know the likes of S.O.S Band,Change,The Controllers etc used big beats on their tracks to work on the dance floorloor but the Def Jam Soul tracks fuckin bumped,the 808s were large and the whole tracks of Tashan ,or Miss Williams banged like HipHop beats.Thats my theory.If you want to own a time capsule of dope Hip Hop ,R&B and ace Go Go (the Junkyard Bands 12"s are not cheap these days)on vinyl,then this L.P is perfect coz it's so cheap (the postage will be more expensive than the actual record)this is an ace place to start, buy 2 and learn to do tricks (all the Junkyard and Original Concept tracks ,and L.Ls I am Bad are perfect for Hip Hop DJ tricks).Plus look into the history of the Junkyard Band and see who were the biggest ,real life gangsters involved in the music scene of the mid to late 80s,they came from D.C, look into it.
First heard this one on vacation in St. Louis in the summer of 1985 recording the Saturday Night Master Mix on KMJM "Majic 108" on a Certron 90min cassette (remember those?)
This my joint right here but Jazzy had another joint before this, not It's yours I think the label was orange cant remember.Yo back in the day DJs cut records all the time it was nuffin the DJ was the most important person man, big up to the DJ.
mookeychase0907 he had a single off the Beat Street soundtrack on the Atlantic label before this called Son Of Beat Street. The Atlantic label had some orange to it at that time so I’m guessing that’s the joint you’re talking about.✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
honestly, God Bless you for uploading this video, it was making me reminisce listening to this record when I first started DJing. Really amazing Rick Rubin track.
This tune has transported me back to the days of Mike Allen on a Friday night! Doing his Allen's army countdown. R.I.P. Mr Allen. Your contribution to UK HipHop will NEVER be forgotten!
this is the shit. got this record when i started djing 10 years ago as a hand me down along with Whodini Escape and some other classics. needless to say, my life was changed and i knew what REAL OLD SCHOOL was.
we were lucky,,,except that we are both in our 40's...... my son loves 80's and early 90's hip hop.... I can play music and not have to worry about m.....f....er I do not even bother with todays hip hop.. respect from UK
When I first heard these records back in the 80s I heard those sampled stabs and cuts and thought they were decades old yet they were less than a decade old but old funk sounded ancient back then for some reason.
@@VBaskin2010 The true Golden Age is up to and including 1984! I was saying that already in 1988! Before some people started referring to the 'New School' as the "golden age".
let them have the money....popular music for the masses. Back in the 80/90's my Dad would not let me play that shit on his turntable.... Imagine imy surprise in early 2000's he bought a P Diddy CD. He would not go and buy any Audio Two,,,would he ??
Rick Rubin and Russell Simon was the best producer's, money making,and they had the best and most fresh MCs and DJs in the history of Hip Hop industry,my personal opinion the had the best recording enterprise in New York,💯🔥
....First heard this joint in my jr.high school talent show in 85.......2 guys were poppin and breakin with a lit light bulb-while the stage lights went dimmed.......looked awesome for its day.........
dear ronnie When Def Jam was Def Jam, rappers were not saying mother f@@@@@@@ The shit now is never going to be as good as it was....my grandad told me that. We all like to go on and on about how much we know about old skool hip hop, but this does not make us any younger,,, Fuck I need a shit..
MC Zappa That was like his second album & not the early stuff from 84 & 85. Plus that was the only curse he did on the Bad album except for a spoken word part that E Love did on Get Down. You’re splitting hairs brother.🙄🙄🙄
Yo this is the joint does anybody remember the joint JJ had out back in summer of '84 before "It's Yours" dropped? It was on a orange label it was instrumental JJ was scratching horns and the song had cymbals I cant remember the name. I asked Jay at the "tools of war" in the summer he said he would get back at me when he came back from Europe can anybody help me?
We would walk through the hallways between our classes and rock this..on about 5 on the volume level because we didn’t want security confiscating our shit for having it so loud😂. Def Jam (the Label) was KING back then!!
I hate it when people talk about hip hop classics and talk about ninetys hip hop there would be no east cost west coust with out beats like this the real beginning of hip hop
Dj Colo EPMD - Strictly Business - Sleeping Bag Records/Fresh Records (1988) EPMD - Unfinished Business - Sleeping Bag/Fresh Records (1989) EPMD - Business As Usual - Def Jam Recordings (1990) EPMD - Business Never Personal - Def Jam Recordings (1992) EPMD's first two albums was produced from Sleeping Bag/Fresh Records and the record label went completely under in 1992.

RICK AND RUSSELL HAD TO GO UPTOWN AND RECRUIT BAM AND JAZZY JAY FOR THIS PIONEERING CULT CLASSIC!!
IT WAS NOT A CULT CLASSIC JEFF, THIS WAS A ICONIC CLASSIC TO SHOW EVERYONE IN THE MUSIC WORLD ON WHAT THEY COME TO EXPECT FROM DEF JAM RECORDINGS!
When I first heard these records back in the 80s I heard those sampled stabs and cuts and thought they were decades old yet they were less than a decade old but old funk sounded ancient back then for some reason.
I never got tired of this.
I bought this.
I was doin Graffiti in these days. Still am. World wide. Tdt
This really is final days of Hip Hop stuff. Brilliant, and bitter-sweet!
Actually 1984 was the beginning of what everyone calls "The Golden Age Of Hip-Hop".
