Growing up in high school I showed my white homie this song and he loved it... wouldn’t stop playing it and singing it. He became a Christian missionary and was lost at sea in a storm almost a decade ago now. RIP Aaron
I was 13 living in Puerto Rico and a friend went to New York bought their cassette and brought it in. We started dancing and singing to it quickly. It became her jam.
I've been on a $uicide boy$ kick lately. If you like those type of beats and songs, check out three 6 mafia. Specifically their older music. It's definetly where $uicide boy$ got their style from.
Oh my Gos I just got up and danced to this like nobody’s business it’s 2023 and this hits like sunshine and JOY - yes indeed! Yes indeed!! Thank you for bringing us such fresh music still relevant in 2023! peace!!!
I'd give a f'n LOT if I could go back To that era. Shit was amazing. Right before BIG TECH COMPANIES DESTROYED our happy way of life. Don't get me wrong I appreciate RUclips and the ability to have music at my fingertips but social media100% ruined everything in my opinion. I'm sad that my kids will never understand how wonderful the 80s and 90s were. Its like cave man shit to them lol. No cell? No remote control? Rotary phone???? Omg.. They'd lose their minds!
@@christinewebb1436 that funny, and messed up at the same time. I hugely agree with you on the social media thing. That shite marked the disappearance of most, if not all our personal peace and privacy and security. Shame!
Missing my bestfriend Keith ssssssoooooo much, we listened to Rob and EZ everyday. Can still sing their songs word for word, I know thats really nothing but I can make beats, pretty good for an old girl. Still listening at 49, Keith died when I was 15, thought to be killed by the POS rookie cop that terrorized us kids our whole teenage years in our small town, two sets of footprints leading to the river, just another lost youth to drinking and drugs. Thank you for being your amazing selves everyone, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.
This song always reminds me of a friend who was there when I needed him. A badass Mf'er who was strong af and a golden gloves boxer with the mentality of a Pit Bull who kept me from getting my ass kicked when I was on crutches and couldn't defend myself. He was murdered by a coward with a gun a year later. (This song came out at this time). RIP Phil G. Thank You!
Bro, I have tears streaming down my face....I was bullied and there ain't nothing like someone ready to throw down for you if needed!!My Deepest Condolences!!(hugs)
This will always be the Jam. Rest In Peace “Dj Ez Rock”, (Rob Base Dj)...Rest in Peace Chandler Spencer (The Man who Sang Joy & Pain on Rob Bass Song) and Rest In Peace “April Ginyard” (Rob Bass Wife)
I had no idea that those you named passed away. I was a senior in high school when this dropped. I thought everyone would stay the same age and be here forever. Makes me appreciate the times and appreciate still being alive. God bless you all!
yeah. brings me back to 1988 i was 10 and listening to rob base dj eazy rock. rip ez rock. great tune.i got the 30th anniversary lp and cassette (original since 88 and still works) mike from canada
I used to run this when I was a young MC but now I'm matured and faced with enemies that caused pain, but God put this song on my heart today and told me to say joy, pain, is like sunshine and rain because it is part of the growth process that is meant for my good. Now I pump it up !!! Here comes the new kid on the block, ain't no stopping 😊Jooooy yeah!!
God I wish I was in high school again, even though this came out a year after I graduated. And I hated high school. But somehow I want to be in 1988 again.
I was 9 when I first heard this song! I would write down the lyrics just to keep up and practice and I’m so blessed that my 9 year old son surpasses me in the hip hop game! ❤
I remember the first time I heard this song at a talent concert at Stevenson High School in the Bronx back in 88. Still one of my favorite hip hop songs.
1:38 the repetition flowing into a new rhythm for 1-2 bars. That switchup that has lyrics flow directly with the beat and not just over it, just doesn't happen anymore.
Yes iam I am in the hospital listening to jam in my seat this reminds of Olds when music 🎶 🎵 was music I love when you can get the phone and put in the names you like 👍 👌 ❤️ to hear that what I just did I am loving the video 😊😊
I will always love this song, the 80 s rocked !!! People went out to clubs to meet and to have fun unlike today where everyone is alone on antidepressants.
It really warms ny heart reading everyone enjoying this song woth stories to go with it, im 22 rn love rob base and a lot of old hip-hop and id do a whole lot to be able to go back in time and hear these songs when they first came out

Born in 1989. Listening to this because I woke up singing it in my head today. *2019*
According to billboard it peaked at #58 on July 1st 1989 on the pop charts. Probably much higher on the R&B charts.
Ahh yeah
Old Skool…!!! Lit…..
Dapper Dan 💯
The music in the old days are the best, this new generation is too lost, real music is dead.
I was 9 when I first heard this song! I would write down the lyrics just to keep up and practice and I’m so blessed that my 9 year old son surpasses me in the hip hop game! ❤
