I got into a dance battle with a dude at a party off of this song. I always peeped the best dancer whenever I went somewhere because in my mind, that was my rival. Well, apparently, he was doing the same thing beause we both were dancing with other people until this song came on, and then it was on like popcorn. About halfway through the song, I realized that the DJ was commentating like it was a boxing match. It was unbelievable. 😂🤣
I met them on a Greyhound bus ride when I was a teenager in the 80s - they were so nice to my younger brothers and I. I still have the autographed album they gave me, too.
This is just sick. They're just grooving and sliding up and down on this ridiculous rhythm. So clean, so raw, so hype.... Far, Far Better Than Rap Today!!
As a New Yorker (Brooklynite) back then, we were very territorial when it came to Hip-Hop. We were always hesitant about rappers from outside the city but EST couldn't be denied! I remember my crew grudgingly saying "yo...this dude is a monster!" 33 years later, this remains true. EST is the first great lyricist from Philly (from our perspective). #RespectTheLegends
Man, I remember my parents buying this album for me. Back in the days when the lyrics of EVERY song were included in the cassette jacket. One of the dopest albums in hip hop history. Original Stylin’ 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I miss the days when rappers enunciated their words and you could actually understand what they were saying. These rappers these days rap like they have a mouth full of marbles.
Very true. So-called mumble rap is like a futuristic episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents or The Twilight Zone. No one would have ever believed it. 😂😂😂😂
Word up!!!! DAMN!! At this time in my life, I thought I was that dude! And the Mack! And you couldn't tell me nothing! (Again, I thought those things!!😜✌🏾)
"All I need is my gold medallion supplying small-time suckers with info EST the unusual fellow." 🙋🏾♀️I'm small time and grateful for it all🇺🇲 Three times dope. God bless you and yours daily💐💐💐💐💐 88 I was a young buck, but it was good back then😌
No joke...i said today...Im Es the man you cant understand much funky on my FM band..while driving in my car. This video showed up in my youtube feed a few hours later. Shits listening fam.
Back in the day when lyrical skilled actually mattered. This era was the shit. I would love to re-live this era of Hip-Hop again. So many great memories man. The state of music right now almost brings tears to my eyes.
This right here brings me back back in the days not only when I was a teenager but I was watching this video and other videos on video music box y'all around my peers know about video music box.
yeah.... the box was the Best back in the days...... especially how Nothing but a G Thang played back to back to back on the box..... any song that was Hot, actually
This is what you call a Philly classic. I have a few on my list. Summer time, My part of town,PSK,Yeah that’s us,I’m a boss…#2022 and the music lives on. #BeGreatBeAuthentic
He had a dope style that influenced me from the hair cut styles and the gear, Rap City and MTV raps was my outlet to what was going on in other places outside of chicago
Samples used this: KC & the Sunshine Band - "What Makes You Happy (1975) (Drums) 3-D - "Once More (You Hear the Dope Stuff)" (1988) Muddy Waters - "I'm a Man (Mannish Boy)" (1955) KC & the Sunshine Band - "Let It Go (Part 2)" (1975) Saturday Night Live - "Gun Control" (1976)
1985-1988 junior high. 3/4 of my class was Jamaican. Everybody was beat boxing in the hallways and at lunch. The teachers let us put magazine pictures of LL, Run DMC, Whodini etc on the classroom walls. Shit sucked at home but I loved school because i was discovering hip hop. Best education I ever got!

They actually rapped, real talent.
@@earthshine00hell yes😅😅

E.S.T. was a wordsmith.
Philly had hella rappers back then but they never got the credit they deserved. Many times I remember jamming out in the after midnight night club.
We had the hottest music 80’s/90’s 😂 FACTS! ❤ June2024 ✊🏾 Still 🔥
Three Times Dope made the Gumby hairstyle fly back then.
I had the Gumby too bruh and the scoop😂😂

@BxServent37 Me too, bro... except my orangish-red (only dye we could in the local PX in Germany)

Second albums even better
Word up!!!! DAMN!! At this time in my life, I thought I was that dude! And the Mack! And you couldn't tell me nothing!
(Again, I thought those things!!😜✌🏾)
I don't know how true this is but I heard that EST was 17 at the time of this album. If that's true that's crazy definitely ahead of his time.
I can believe it. You also have to remember that Rakim was only 18 or 19 when "Paid In Full" was released as well.
"All I need is my gold medallion supplying small-time suckers with info EST the unusual fellow."
🙋🏾♀️I'm small time and grateful for it all🇺🇲

The Overlord of fresh!!!! I hope the brother is doing well!!!!
What's amazing and overlooked is EST was only 16! He looked older but in the video he's just 16. Much respect
1985-1988 junior high. 3/4 of my class was Jamaican. Everybody was beat boxing in the hallways and at lunch. The teachers let us put magazine pictures of LL, Run DMC, Whodini etc on the classroom walls. Shit sucked at home but I loved school because i was discovering hip hop. Best education I ever got!
