First heard this song in the movir "Breaking" 1984, i ran out and bought the cassette, Ice T was the absolute best until LL cool J came on the scene, unbelievable times!
What's more amusing to me is that the intro sounds a lot like 80's industrial/house like Depeche Mode or Nine Inch Nails (at the time), so if like a Martin Gore or a Trent Reznor came on instead of Ice-T we might have a makeup lipstick wearing black leather with metal shoulder spikes Eminem...like, for real
Looks like there are more lil xan Fannie's then I ever though saying this legend of a song and rapper sounds like shit or isn't good there there 12 yr old minds , same as lil xan talking down on Tupac gotta love millennial ignorance u fools r great for a laugh haahaa nice !!!
Maybe one day when ur all "growed" up u will have better appreciation for the 1s who started the game lol it's passed ur bed time kiddies gnite chumps !!!
An absolute classic of the 80 hop-hop scene. Loved it from the moment I first heard it back then. One of the best beak beats and classic scratch. Dope rhymes by Ice-T. just brilliant even almost 40 years on!!
I'm imagining young Marshall Mathers laying in bed late at night with his head phones on listening to this very track. Having those late nights being able to escape from the bullying, mood swings from his mother, and the absence of his father. This was his escapism.
This all happened because of a higher power. Of all the millions and millions of people on the planet, Em was inspired by T. You think that was a coincidence? Fer real? And of all the songs, all the artist, all the conditions, the time of day ... his life was going to change. I am inspired and listen to his music at least every other day. I'm a old white lady, 70, so since my 1st memories start with Elvis and I'm still loving RHCPs. So I heard it all. Hey! I look way better than Jagger, too.
This is the song that Eminem's uncle Ronnie gave him that introduced him to Hiphop, and inspired him. Thumbs up if you already knew that, and thats why your here.
im here only for Ice T I discovered this song in the nineties and this was one of my favorite tracks in the nineties . we was make breakdancing with this song . greetings from Istanbul
whooooooeeee.....that's what rap music should sound like.....plain and simple BUT truely unique and just awesome.......the 80s and 90s are hip hops golden age
i remember when the breakdance movie came out me and my mate whatched it at the cinema in staines like 3 times over,im 52 now and this is still one of my fav songs
If you grew up break dancing…this song was most definitely in your box weekly if not daily🤣my brother wasn’t a good break dancer but few could f/ck with him pop locking/doing the robot, Push the Button👍
808s slam so hard in SO many great songs, and I've had a few myself, and nowhere do they quite snap like they do here. What even impresses me more is the infectious presence of the lead analogue synth, a classic synth sound that has seldom been since duplicated, and the way he uses rolls and percussive samples and breaks risers and fallers for the transitions. Add to that the haunted house organ that pipes in every now and then and eerie phantom vocal effects that sound like they're coming out of the TV at Carol-Anne. And who doesn't love perfectly-executed (presumably analog) reverb and echo? All that adds up to a near-perfect song whose only flaw is that it needs more cowbell.
Man I dont know about you, im getting the feeling of being 17 in the 90s all over again and going to the newsagency and grabbing a music hits magazine and flipping to the back for the lyrics of a song.. thats the vibe I get from this.. memories dam.
I was sent here because of the OLD Days breakdance, this is song is from that album, i remember dancing this in showdown. It pumped me up back then hehe...
1984 . Kilmarnock, Scotland. We started the process of getting down. We bought everything we could get or afford. A journey of twisted body spins. Long live us . Mmnns made his peace with Ice T. On that documentary. I can't break to any of his cactus.
[Verse 1] Once upon a time a DJ's task Was just to play records, what more could you ask? But then came remixes, scratching and cuts Which was too much for many, drove some DJ's nuts But the DJ named Glove has reigned supreme As the turntable wizard of the hip-hop scene So listen to him, check him out, but remember this When The Glove's on the wheels of steel he's Reckless [Verse 2] This high-powered music is truly unique As The Glove cuts the rhythm to the hip-hop beat He moves like a madman as he spins his disc He's the number one scratcher on the DJ list, he's Reckless [Verse 3] Now I've seen DJ's, too many to name Some gained recognition and even fame But when you talk of MC's, Ice-T is the best And when you talk of DJ's, forget the rest, Glove's Reckless [Verse 4] So listen very closely as The Glove throws down He cuts like a razor to the big beat sound Dave's layin' down a groove that we know you'll like With The Glove on the turntables and Ice-T on the mic, we're Reckless [Verse 5] So listen to the music, let your mind feel free Realize you're with the master G-L-O-V-E Dave and MC Ice-T, you know you're with the best Because when we're in the mix you know the groove is fresh and Reckless, Reckless, Reck-Reck-Re-Reckless
"with a DJ named Rub, who reigned supreme As the ear digging wizard of the kluski scene, My watch doesn't tell time like the old ones did, My underware tho is full of these skids...."
Ice has always been the man, kicking knowledge, entertaining, hardcore music all his life! To be relevant after nearly 30 years in the game, he's a Real Playa;)
I bought this song when I was 11 years old on vinyl. The electro beat was dope, but the tb-303 baseline was fuckin amazing when this first came out. Now it's dated, but I still enjoy it for the nostalgia.
I'm here because I breakdanced to this in 1984 😁 Old Skool Baby!!!!
Riiiiight! Me to these youngin's Don't no the truth about who started rap! Music first! Smh...
@@Chachacha6040 🤟🤟🤟🤟
I am so old school... i dont even know what old school means!
Breakin 2 brought me here.
First heard this song in the movir "Breaking" 1984, i ran out and bought the cassette, Ice T was the absolute best until LL cool J came on the scene, unbelievable times!
Yep same ! 12 years old
So this is the birth of Eminem? Damn!
+Kudzai Now i see why he's who he is xD
+Kudzai Thats exactly what brought me here!
but he sounds a liddle bit like emimem but this song sonds like crap oke kiz he not worry soungs like eminem.. this song is shit
No, he actually came out of a vagina
+Dilara Calik
What language is that?
I was here before the internet was even a thing.
I was listening to this and dancing on street corners in the 80’s.
Exactly in Detroit 83 Brake dancing pop locking
You couldn't have been here before the internet. This is literally the internet.
@@Shifty_15 I was everywhere before the internet! I’m like God, but I’m real.
in a parallel universe:
''this is the song that made Eminem decide to become an acid house dj.''
hahah xd
Omfg 😂😂😂
What's more amusing to me is that the intro sounds a lot like 80's industrial/house like Depeche Mode or Nine Inch Nails (at the time), so if like a Martin Gore or a Trent Reznor came on instead of Ice-T we might have a makeup lipstick wearing black leather with metal shoulder spikes Eminem...like, for real
😳
😝
i just wanted to see what the first rap song he ever heard sounded like
Same
It doesn't sound that good
Looks like there are more lil xan Fannie's then I ever though saying this legend of a song and rapper sounds like shit or isn't good there there 12 yr old minds , same as lil xan talking down on Tupac gotta love millennial ignorance u fools r great for a laugh haahaa nice !!!
Maybe one day when ur all "growed" up u will have better appreciation for the 1s who started the game lol it's passed ur bed time kiddies gnite chumps !!!
Me too
This song inspired Eminem to start rapping, his own words.
yeah, Em said in a facebook q&a in like 2013 that LL inspired him to start rapping
Hot
Box
'In
With Mike Tyson
This is the first rap song he heard but ll cool j made him rap
This song inspired me to play Contra 3 on the NES
Eminem lol
I remember break dancing to this off the BREAKIN soundtrack. Good memories.
I’m here because Ice T kicks ass! Listened to this everyday when I was a kid!.
without the legendary ice-T we wouldn't have nwa, Eminem and so many more
And Tupac
when you talk of MCs
ice is the best
when you talk of DJs forget the rest he was RECKLESS
Need to go back further son. Rakim was your favorite rapper favorite rapper
Foo U know Schoolly d?
K
ICE T ALWAYS GOT A NICE FLOW ON EVERY SONG, A TRUE MASTER OF HIP HOP
Word up!! 💯
An absolute classic of the 80 hop-hop scene. Loved it from the moment I first heard it back then. One of the best beak beats and classic scratch. Dope rhymes by Ice-T. just brilliant even almost 40 years on!!
One of the biggest clasics ever, no matter if Em was inspired by it, or not.
saimOp. 💯💯💯
I remember hearing this song when I was in Jr. High School ... I use to break dance to this ... way before Eminem...😅
Exactly 💯 💯 💯
I'm imagining young Marshall Mathers laying in bed late at night with his head phones on listening to this very track. Having those late nights being able to escape from the bullying, mood swings from his mother, and the absence of his father. This was his escapism.
From the Breakin movie, this is the extended version straight 🔥🔥
I am here for Ice-T
thanks yuo
Yep yep.
U 2 eh??? Youse Reckless....lol
And there is Eminem in your profile photo🤣
Who said music isn't medicine for the soul. Anytime i feel down or sick, i play this jam and immediately everything is great :).
This all happened because of a higher power. Of all the millions and millions of people on the planet, Em was inspired by T. You think that was a coincidence? Fer real? And of all the songs, all the artist, all the conditions, the time of day ... his life was going to change. I am inspired and listen to his music at least every other day. I'm a old white lady, 70, so since my 1st memories start with Elvis and I'm still loving RHCPs. So I heard it all. Hey! I look way better than Jagger, too.
This song and Colors still so bad ass . Never ages
I'm here because i'm a real hip hop listener.
The Real Og T- Reckless From the Oldschool Breakin Era!!!🎶😎
This is the song that Eminem's uncle Ronnie gave him that introduced him to Hiphop, and inspired him.
Thumbs up if you already knew that, and thats why your here.
Could this be one of the best Hip Hop tracks ever??
Way underrated
One of my favourites for sure..
Easily top 5 Old school Electro and top 10 Classic Rap.
Easily
Yeah still listening
This is the best rap song and break beat of all times, I've heard this in the middle eighties.
Same ..BTW..How's everything going for you ten years later after you posted this reply? Please let me know. ✌✌👍👍
Straight up, ICE-T is the shit.
This is one of the best hip hop songs ever!
im here only for Ice T
I discovered this song in the nineties and this was one of my favorite tracks in the nineties . we was make breakdancing with this song .
greetings from Istanbul
Without "The Glove" it wouldn't have been possible.
I remember doing a break dance show in school to this track! wow brings back some memories! 80's was a great time to grow up in! :)
Not on iTunes . Anywhere else ?
whooooooeeee.....that's what rap music should sound like.....plain and simple BUT truely unique and just awesome.......the 80s and 90s are hip hops golden age
I’m just imagining em as a kid jamming out to this
i remember when the breakdance movie came out me and my mate whatched it at the cinema in staines like 3 times over,im 52 now and this is still one of my fav songs
Yup came here cause of eminem. This was the first rap song eminem ever heard. R.I.P Uncle Ronnie.
i am here because of eminem...anyone else???
Me too
ashish paudel yeah I'm too... Luv him :3
Krümelmonstar me xD (whats wrong with me??)
Krümelmonstar hell yeah!!
ashish paudel Me too :D fuck yeah :D
I came here because I break danced in the early 1980s to it. The sound of this song was so radical and new. Fresh.
Instrumentally, this track is insane
If you grew up break dancing…this song was most definitely in your box weekly if not daily🤣my brother wasn’t a good break dancer but few could f/ck with him pop locking/doing the robot, Push the Button👍
One of the best tunes I've ever listened in my life.
I came here cause Breakin!
So do I 😂😂😂
Same! I even went back for Breakin' 2 Electric Bugaloo when it came into the theaters.
If it wasn't for this song we'd have no Eminem.
And that's so fine, to have eminem! :)
He lay 10 days in the koma.
It was something more than this song.
I'm sure he still would have gotten into hip hop. It's in his blood . If he didn't hear this song it would have been the next one
If Dr.Dre wont ,,created,, him he wont be the Eminem :)
Nor N.W.A.
I love the 808 sounds on this track.
808s slam so hard in SO many great songs, and I've had a few myself, and nowhere do they quite snap like they do here. What even impresses me more is the infectious presence of the lead analogue synth, a classic synth sound that has seldom been since duplicated, and the way he uses rolls and percussive samples and breaks risers and fallers for the transitions.

And who doesn't love perfectly-executed (presumably analog) reverb and echo?
All that adds up to a near-perfect song whose only flaw is that it needs more cowbell.
I love 808 sounds in Hip Hop, espexially 80's
Ice T should be very proud that breakdance will be part of 2024 Olympic Games.
Wait are you for real nah you is lieing it's really a breakdancing part of the Olympics game i have to see this myself 🤣🤣
@@eastwoodsunny599 after Olympics over, this was a big dissapointment, hello and goodbye for the event.
The top of anyone's list - if you dare call yourself a hip-hop evangelist. I was raised on this - and I was 11.
here because I loved this when I was 12 years old when it came out, and still do now!
My favorite Ice T cut ! This the man 50 grand!
This to me represented real hip hop.... grafitti as a backdrop the ,dj, the mc on stage and breakers on the floor. Real b-boy shit....
Fuck yeah brotha! All day!
REAL B BOY STUFF
My guy ;) this man gets it 👊🏻
Man I dont know about you, im getting the feeling of being 17 in the 90s all over again and going to the newsagency and grabbing a music hits magazine and flipping to the back for the lyrics of a song.. thats the vibe I get from this.. memories dam.
One of the best tracks. This is awesome.
The Electrifying Mojo, legendary Detroit Radio DJ brought me here, some time around 1985-86
Ice-T's best jam of all time.
6 in the morning and colors. For me
High roller
One of his best as well.ruclips.net/video/Lc0-S3_gqyg/видео.html. His pen was WAY more advanced on this one from 86!
I'm here because I started listening to Hip-Hop when this came out and it's a classic, so if you don't know, now you know!
If Ice T never wrote this song my life would be extremely different
What an excellent pop and lock song! Tiktok brought me here! I feel so late to the party. 😂 Better late then never tho! Let's dance!
Ice T was a great inspiration to Eminem, and what an inspiration it was
I was sent here because of the OLD Days breakdance, this is song is from that album, i remember dancing this in showdown. It pumped me up back then hehe...
I got this from Eminem
ASH everyone here, ain't??
1984 . Kilmarnock, Scotland. We started the process of getting down. We bought everything we could get or afford. A journey of twisted body spins. Long live us . Mmnns made his peace with Ice T. On that documentary. I can't break to any of his cactus.
When Electro and HipHop were one.
Phenomenal sound!
If you were a serious breaker at any point in time, when you here this, the uprock starts ASAP!
Here because 'Breakin' was my bro's favourite film
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time a DJ's task
Was just to play records, what more could you ask?
But then came remixes, scratching and cuts
Which was too much for many, drove some DJ's nuts
But the DJ named Glove has reigned supreme
As the turntable wizard of the hip-hop scene
So listen to him, check him out, but remember this
When The Glove's on the wheels of steel he's Reckless
[Verse 2]
This high-powered music is truly unique
As The Glove cuts the rhythm to the hip-hop beat
He moves like a madman as he spins his disc
He's the number one scratcher on the DJ list, he's Reckless
[Verse 3]
Now I've seen DJ's, too many to name
Some gained recognition and even fame
But when you talk of MC's, Ice-T is the best
And when you talk of DJ's, forget the rest, Glove's Reckless
[Verse 4]
So listen very closely as The Glove throws down
He cuts like a razor to the big beat sound
Dave's layin' down a groove that we know you'll like
With The Glove on the turntables and Ice-T on the mic, we're Reckless
[Verse 5]
So listen to the music, let your mind feel free
Realize you're with the master G-L-O-V-E
Dave and MC Ice-T, you know you're with the best
Because when we're in the mix you know the groove is fresh
and Reckless, Reckless, Reck-Reck-Re-Reckless
Wooooooothis hits is a Legendary.
"with a DJ named Rub, who reigned supreme
As the ear digging wizard of the kluski scene,
My watch doesn't tell time like the old ones did,
My underware tho is full of these skids...."
This is more OG than OG.
Ice T Top Dog in the Real Game!!! Steve Maez 2024
This sounds like 80s rave music with some bars on it hahaha sickkk
Am about to turn 51, I was nicknamed reckless back when this song reach Nigeria 🇳🇬..😆🤩😆
Thank u Ice T for this ❤
I ckame here in 1984 whilst BrkDancin n it's been 40 yrs lmmfao n seen EVRYthin since..no MM then

It wasn't this alone this just helped
As someone who was breakin' when this played in Breakin', this song was the shit.
man that's rap in its pure form...legendary
With a DJ named Rub, who reigned supreme, as the ear digging wizard of the kluski scene
wow....
incredible... thumbs up again...
I never listened nothing better than this
great
I’m here because of Chris “The Glove” Taylor.
awwww shit. this is back from the old school. I was in junior high.
Ice has always been the man, kicking knowledge, entertaining, hardcore music all his life! To be relevant after nearly 30 years in the game, he's a Real Playa;)
For who or what ever reason your here listening. You have to agree before Gangsta rap there was pure hip hop and this was it!
Gets goosebumps when i listen to this song :)
chills down to the spine
Ice T was an awesome MC. Miss these days ❤
Reckless and Tour de France both are soundtracks of my misspent childhood. Wonder what Turbo & Ozone listen to now.
Still listening in 2022!
I bought this song when I was 11 years old on vinyl. The electro beat was dope, but the tb-303 baseline was fuckin amazing when this first came out. Now it's dated, but I still enjoy it for the nostalgia.
Dated?????????? - No completely timeless IMO
Beautiful needle work. Can't find Djs who can do this anymore. Used to blast this shit when I was a kid, in my parachute pants. Lol
What does it matter if ppl r here for em? em has great taste and can influence them tio like even more good hip hop
Super sick wit it Cuz cant beat the Old School
ICE T brought me here oh wait he existed before em
But that doesn't mean he has more influence on the game
Absolutely, from an old b boy lol 😁 🤔
@@erikeason5518 that might be the dumbest shit I ever heard if it wasn't for ice t we wouldn't have half of the West coast recognition we do today.
Yah he did....dope ass scratching on this cut......
@@alexanderroland5395 Maybe you should research who inspired Ice T. If not for them there would be no Ice T!
I came here because I'm 50 and I loved this the first time round.
This is the first song Eminem heard.
haha wow. I don't think this the first song Eminem ever heard in he's life.
Da Revoolver Lol I meant this is the first hip hop song eminem heard
DJEmonTV When he was 9 years old couse of his uncle
DJEmonTV first rap song
juul5599 he was around 12 year of age when he heard this
I put this song and i start dancing even when i know the next day i cant get up
I'm here because I grew up on these sick beats...any one else?
Unfortunately I'm growing up on 'rappers' like Future and other shit guys. Luckily I got the Breakdance original soundtrack on vinyl! I love this song
This shit brings my childhood back, my go to song at breakin battles
Classic!👌 Love it!
Loved this song since I was 10 years old. Thank you Breakin' for introducing me to hip hop

3am in the morning and u spell checking.SMH,but thanks for putting on this track right now,this shit dope

this beat makes me think of those old Nike basketball commercials

I havent heard this since the 80's I was living in PNG Papua New Guinea . Me and my mates tried breakdancing to this haha good times.
www.amazon.com/Cold-As-Ever-Ice-T/dp/B000005DTZ

Grand Creator the first *rap song* he heard
Thanks em for bringing me to this song 🔥 imagine hearing this not ever hearing anything like it. 😮
I'm here because I'm allowed to be here!!
Time to take the new kids to school back to the old school when hip hop was hip hop.
Breakin' beat street' old school 80's breakdancing
Was this song in Beat Street?
Jay-Go No on Beatstreat but in Breakin is the last track of side 2 vinyl soundtrack. My precious vinyl
Ice T and the legend Chris the glove Taylor.. way ahead of his time
