And 2024, the year the United States of America came to an end. One day Calvin Broadus will have to ask himself was it worth denigrating black people with "gangsta rap" and sending more blacks to the California prison system in lockstep with each song that came out of his head, when he could have instead honored his elders, that is the original Hip Hop artists and culture as manifested in my hometown of than New York and I have the birth certificate to prove it, not like all those illegals they got up there now.
I was an 11 year old little girl, living in Bronx, NY and this song was BIG! Wouldn't changed growing up in NY during these years for nothing! We just about wore our sneaker soles out doing the Rooftop dance to this!
I was riding in the last car on the # 2 train , 233rd and white Plains road , while some dude with a giant radio turned the music on... ( 6th grade ... P.S. 16 not far from 241st st station ).... and I went to Olinville Jr high , right up the block from Evander.... # fun

All the youngbloods complaining about the pops and scratches on the audio have obviously never put the needle to the groove, and they think vinyl is just a fabric.
Shout out to all the Larrys who were coming up when this song came out. All we heard was La la la la Larry. It was fun. My name is Larry, and I had a friend named Larry who's nickname was Freeze.
Sending a shot out to Grandmaster Flash for my all day, everyday favorite song Larry Love. Still to this day I faithfully play this song everyday. Much love.
What!!!!!???? Bitches?!!?!!?!!!!!! This is it...top notch!!!!! Covid 19, black riots, and to the future. Long live the oldest old school hip hop!!!!!!!
The History of NYC's "Electric Boogie" by Jorge Fabel Pabon..........One of the first electric boogie contests I witnessed, in 1981, was at Harlem's P.A.L. on 123rd Street. I saw dozens of boogie boys and crews competing that night. That's where I first saw Supreme/Troy dance with Get Loose Bruce and win a contest. There was another crew that wore military fatigue pants and t-shirts, who also joined the contest, they were dope at floats/glides/slides & tickin'. The Float Committee also had boogie boys: Doug, Will and others. Harlem also had Larry Love and dudes that rolled with him
I see a lot of NYC comments. Because NYC is the home of hip hop I often wonder what songs were just hot in NYC or did they make it out of NYC in the early 80’s to mid 90’s like this one. The energy was something special back then.
T-U-N-E \0/ \0/ old schooler here \0/ I've got arthritis now lol....all good fun, theres now a street sounds radio on the net offical which plays all hip hop stuff's
Is Larry Love his stage or real name? My father in law real name is Larry Love and he's asked all the time is that your real name. I told him about the boogie dancer Larry Love and how the name sounds more hood/stage then real
These guys were pioneers of the hip hop & rap world, and one thing for sure is that, it was done from the heart with pure lyrical skill & talent, it wasn't always about the damn money. And you listen, you can hear a major difference in ol skool hip hop vs. that stuff that they call hip hop of today. At least the lyrics were clear back then. Thank God for ol skool!
MY COUSIN WAS ON HIS DEE JAY !! LARRY OUR LAST NAME!! SAY LESS!!! DOBY PUT THAT LARRY LOVE ON 😍 WOW I MISS THOSE MOMENTS WHOOO!! I CAN SMILE AT WHAT I REMEMBER YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I'M 46 DO THE MATH 🤩
Thanks for taking the time to share this. This track popped in my head the other day...I thought it was a bit more rare than the usual tracks from this genre and era and I wasn't expecting to find it readily...but your video came straight up. Great memories. La la la...la la la...la la la Larry Love.

This would be 10x better if it was a digital version of it. Whoever created this Y.T. video must have used a turntable from the 1920's you can hear the crispy sounds of the pops and scratches from the dust filled needle as it plays.
......WOW...i was in Jr. High School doin A Dance called "The Roof Top" off dis song..Damn...i Remember wen this 1st released !..Lmao!..i'm still yung tho...lol
