Damn right they are missing out they don't know good music Man this is a wonderful classic this shit they listening to today straight garbage you can't boogie down to this Bullshit today this so call Hip Hop Damn I'm sorry this shit hop today because that's just what it is Man I'll give a Million Dollars to go back to the good era of good Hip Hop. I'm not from the Bronx But I still Boogie Down. Much love to all of New York City peace and blessings
Im in my 60s and when i heard the first 'rap'' cuz that what it was the only time you could hear stuff like this was on 'Capital radio with chris forbes''where is he now thou''....this is the best hip hop funky fresh vybes in ages ''peace''....and the painting on trains/walls is to me ART.....lets just booging on down!
kudos to whoever made this video, great work. Clips from "Beat Street" and "Style Wars," archival footage of Bronx from the late 70s, great footage of subway graffiti from the early 80s, well done this! This song is one of the best raps of the mid-80s, Man Parish was the illest producer, very very futuristic. DJP of UAT (and later Rocksteady Crew) broke this song to the underground party scene in Oklahoma in the mid 90s, we'd never heard it before. Fans of this style should check out Planet Rock, Jam On It, Reckless by Ice-T, and definitely Mantronix. Oldschool hip-hop for the win!
MY FAVE SONG OF ALL TIME!! Listened to it a million times and I’ll do a million more. I didn’t realise they wrote it with a Pro 1, a Pro 5 and an Emulator. Cool info!
Kann mich noch daran erinnern, wo ich es zum ersten Mal gehört habe. In Schweinfurt in der Ledward Barracks, da war ich 12 Jahre alt. Mittlerweile bin ich 47 und das Lied gehört immer noch zu meinen Favoriten. 😍💕👍🏼
I’m 44 from Cali and been listening to rap since I was 9, never heard this until recently. Along with jam on it this would have been played non stop by me in the 80s if I had it back then. Shit’s still banging today.
💯💪I've jammed this in Detroit as a young teen with a jamboree on my shoulder as a white kid back in the day. Rap was my favorite then I started exploring other genre's. Rock is my favorite but I will always listen to these old school hip hop song's. Never forget.
listen I'm 45 yrs old and I'm here to tell you this is hip hop but keep in mind although rapping wasn't new throughout the 5 Burroughs in New York this style was taking on to the next level which was putting it on wax and do you see how in the early stages of rap their was the party rap and then their was the b-boy sound which was strictly for the breakers and poppers and this is why very people even remember or acknowledge Manparish and his contribution to hip hop but to us b-boys we know who is and give so much love to him
started in Miami with battle of the DJs. Group came down from New York I.B.M. crew Immortal Break Masters and it took off down here from there. My crew got so popular South Side Crew. I.B.M. did that song "young ladies" "Fast Lane" We produced "Diamond Girl" and produced with "Expose" "let me be the one".. those were so the days
Absolute classic use to break to this all the time back in the day and always dropped it in my dj set,this is real hip hop,I’m not from da bronx but I still boogie down.....all the way from the uk🏴🤘
One summer, my friend went to NY to visit his cousins & brought back a mix tape which had this song on it,It was the first time that I ever heard funk & rappers.
People all around walking round in the streets They got the funky box with the Johnski beats You here the sound, become a believer You go to the Bronx, hang out at The Fever You take the D to 205th You go see me cause I got the gift And I'm the cool MC with the vicious sounds I'm not from the Bronx, but I still Boogie Down F to the R, double E, Z, E F to the O, the R, C, E Yes, the Freeze Force and we never lost At any cost cause I'm the boss I'm the cash bank money keeper, never broke, never cheaper If you ask me for a dime, give it to you any time Keep cash money but I'm no jerk I can use it, don't abuse it, I can put it to work Just to buy my clothes, all designer names And if you wanna bite you'll never look the same Bill Blass, Calvin Klein are some of mine You'll never catch me on the welfare line. 🔥🔥🔥 Man Parish was on another level.
Kids today missing out on what we had as music in the 80’s.. It’s all bad vibes and bad language today Sad really 😔. Gotta blame the labels .. Money grabbers
This track is when hip hop was real and all of us were breaking and popping together ,any city any creed or colour , all together in the uk ...afrika bambaataa and the soul sonic force were the the guys who did this for us with many others like rock steady crew , new york city breakers , mantronix , motor city crew, man parish , and the hip hop track electric boogie breakdance by the west street mob which to me was the definitive hip hop track of this time , big shout to all the the original b boys out there i`m a fifty something ex b boy who still thinks the old days were the best , as bambaataa said .peace unity love and having fun ......
To all the people in the USA, Hip Hop music is here to stay!!... The rap game was being profitsized and we are still here!!...So glad to be a part of the Hip Hop Generation!!....
Classic - got the 12" record under the stairs. Still know (nearly) all the words 32 years later... probably cos I listened to it absolutely non-stop on an old record player during my student years.
+joaquin91277 every time I turn dudes on to this song, music they trip out. I'm 50 and this is still my favorite. I jam this out in my car always, always. never gets old
no song portrais that era of self made creativity and gettin rid of color lines, gender, rich and poor better than this one. i love it, always did, always will. this song changed me forever, and is one of the reasons why i do this stuff myself...with all that gear that was used in those times. no sampling, no stealing do do your own. peace!
This song just came to my mind out of nowhere. One of my faves from way back.. .maybe I should lay out the cardboard and ghetto blaster n see if I still got it going on with Cool Ra.....📻 📀📀📀🎶🎼🎶🎼🎧☜

+joaquin91277 thanks this song means so much to me
shoot listen to play that beat, and hip hop don't stop, man parrish
started in Miami with battle of the DJs. Group came down from New York I.B.M. crew Immortal Break Masters and it took off down here from there. My crew got so popular South Side Crew. I.B.M. did that song "young ladies" "Fast Lane" We produced "Diamond Girl" and produced with "Expose" "let me be the one".. those were so the days
Brings back big time memories of freedom when we weren't tied down to all of today's life complexities.

Born in the Bronx here in 1966. This song was a club hit 35 years ago.
THIS IS A EAST COAST CLASSIC
This is an Anthem among Anthems. NYC Rocks! All Five Boroughs are Jewels of the Same Crown.
One summer, my friend went to NY to visit his cousins & brought back a mix tape which had this song on it,It was the first time that I ever heard funk & rappers.
Iconic peace from Golden era of 'BreakDance'..Man parish ,the music,Freez Force vocal..🙏👍💙🤙🥇Lord Bliss

My every day christmas gift since 1997 !!
As an old bboy this was my jam. Crushed the floors at the freestyle sessions in Seattle.
People all around walking round in the streets
They got the funky box with the Johnski beats
You here the sound, become a believer
You go to the Bronx, hang out at The Fever
You take the D to 205th
You go see me cause I got the gift
And I'm the cool MC with the vicious sounds
I'm not from the Bronx, but I still Boogie Down
F to the R, double E, Z, E
F to the O, the R, C, E
Yes, the Freeze Force and we never lost
At any cost cause I'm the boss
I'm the cash bank money keeper, never broke, never cheaper
If you ask me for a dime, give it to you any time
Keep cash money but I'm no jerk
I can use it, don't abuse it, I can put it to work
Just to buy my clothes, all designer names
And if you wanna bite you'll never look the same
Bill Blass, Calvin Klein are some of mine
You'll never catch me on the welfare line. 🔥🔥🔥
Man Parish was on another level.
