"To have lost Love was a hurting lesson, but to have had Love was a definite blessing. Now I know what the Beatles were thinking of when they said that money can't buy me Love. " RIP ECSTACY.
+BigDaddyRakim No doubt! I was just listening to this with the windows down on a nice weekend day as if it was new. It's still so good it's a addictive whenever I revisit it.
🙏🏾Prayers and condolences to the family of Mr. John Fletcher’s( Ecstasy ) from Whodini who passed away today 12/23/2020. May God console the hearts of his family at this difficult time.😔❤️❤️ I grew up loving their music. May his soul RIP❤️❤️
All of Whodini's albums were recorded and produced in London using the top production in the world, led by the legendary producer Larry Smith, known as the "Quincy Jones" of Rap. This track still sounds as funky and futuristic as it did in 1986. RIP Ecstasy and Larry!
When Ecstacy reads the letter "Maybe one of these days you'll have to learn, that love is something that you gotta earn, and once you earn it, gotta know how to keep it, you got to want it as well as you need it". Classic. The video starts out with a New York Salute, Twin Towers in the atmosphere.
When I first saw this video, and when I saw the girlfriend who Grandmaster Dee broke up with....I was IN ONE LOVE with her!! For years I kept asking, Who's that girl?? Lawd have mercy! Cuz I truly wanted her! Lol But on a serious note.....we lost another icon in hip hop. Ecstacy R.I.P. God bless your family. And thank you for your contribution to great music of our generation.
Always will be a classic I been a whodini fan since 9 years old and now here I am 45 and being a young man back in the 80s with so much positive messages in music was a gift... Rest well J "Ecstacy" Fletcher!!
@@dawnjones977 wooow, u are so loyal sir, would you please send me some of your favorite artists back in your youth days... I'm from south Africa.. I grew up listening to USA music since the early 90s till now...
I am in love with the look of the 80s. Even the loft...I was born in 83 so so I only can remember so much but I wish I had experienced the 80s as a teen & the 90s in my 20s
Probably underrated because they were very commercial. Not dissing cuz I loved Whodini growing up, but I think they get knocked by historians for that.
@@ChillydontCap this shows me you like Ruffles that disrespect women you don't like me in that show love to women and this group did so course you don't care nothing about this man's death you disrespecting his death by saying that
The whole atmosphere of this song is just crazy. The sound is so wavy yet soothing. I like how it has that hip-hop groove but yet it sounded graceful. Really took me back to my childhood in the late 80's. I know we can't get those old days back, but it's nice to hear this again every now and then, to remind myself of what was.
I love you Whodini ❤❤ RIP to those that’s gone on to heaven🙏🙏🙏🙏 I love you All and Thanks so much for all of your beautiful beautiful music!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 This is my favorite song of you guys, a message to all of us
The rap community always acknowledges LL with the first rap love song but this came out a year earlier so you gotta give these guys a mention. Whodini had hits galore and usually with a message that needed to be heard!
I love the under-stylized video that tell a story and show a slice of life. I appreciate seeing early ‘80s NYC with regular people, nobody on phones, and so much available street parking.
Pure rap royalty, Whodini was magical, all of their releases just had all the elements of true creativity and heartfelt sincerity, truth and honest like Friends, Freaks Come Out, Big Mouth. I didn't remember Fletcher passed until I thought about this song on Thanksgiving Eve. Much Love to Grandmaster & Jalil for making such iconic memorable songs hip hop with depth and longevity. MUCHLOVE
ONE OF A KIND!! Legendary MC John Fletcher aka "Ecstasy".... Talk about commanding the stage?? He was one of a kind!! LIVE IN ETERNAL SPIRIT ANGEL!! ✊✊💯
I don't think that would even help these kids. Maybe the secret is to have lived when hip hop was in its origin and have caught the vibe then. It'll never be the same. :(
OMG! I remember Whodini came up to my HS which was in Brooklyn. All of the girls were screaming for them, I did not say anything. They were being chased by their fans. And Drew stopped and ask me my name, he said that I was cute. My friends just stood there in shock. All I said was that he is very cute. This all happened in the 80s when they were at the top of all the charts. It was a pleasure knowing them then. Boy, I love the 80s..
Same with me in 1986 when I was 17 years old. family life for me was horrible. This song and all hip hop songs in 1986 made life in 1986 as a teen bearable. It took me away from my problems.
What's weird is...after my divorce...all the songs that had solid advice, I just ignored. Yep, money can't buy you love or respect. I had my "one love", so I count myself lucky. However, women are weird...you better keep them happy, and entertained, otherwise you're "boring" and it's over. BE CAREFUL. Falling in love, is the most dangerous thing you could do.
I love this track. It'll always be part of my life. As a child living in Berlin Germany 🇩🇪 ('85-'87) my parents owned the Vynal album I used to play the album. That group had style and example in hip hop and art. Being a child I used to look at the artist from the getto, like being educated and examples towards others. Then one day we moved to the getto to experience getto life in art and living and excepting my culture was real. I'm glad I lived in the getto.

This beat is still dope as shit... think about this being released in 1985-86 and it wasn’t any other tracks that sounded like this. This beat still dope.
Growing up, I always called Ecstasy as "the guy with a cool ass hat" and his flow of rap matched his signature look. This is very unexpected. Rest in peace, John "Ecstasy" Fletcher.
You guys gotta try to stop co-opting the decade. You’re not a 90s baby if you were born in 1994. Please stop that nonsense. Stop stop stop stop. 90s babies have an 8 at the first digit of their birth year. You are a 2000s baby though and through 🙄
@@H3ndr1x how? Dude was in kindergarten or first grade when y2k hit, aka nowhere close to his formative years. You millennials need to understand the definition and stop trying to latch on. There was some cool shit going on in the 2000s too. Granted not nearly as much as in the 90s but you guys have to stop being ashamed of the truth lol
@chiarosuburekeni9325 I'm not a millennial nor anything older even my 48 year old dad knows he's still a 90s baby if you were born and raised in the 90s then yes you are a 90s baby
Yo fam, that Whodini joint is straight fire! It's got that old school flavor with a fresh twist. It's like a throwback with a twist of lemon, you know what I'm sayin'? That's what we call a 'remix' in the streets. But for real, that One Love video is a classic and still holds up to this day. Whodini never fails to bring the heat.

I was a Sophomore in HS when this came out. One of my favorite joints from the group. Nobody rocked that Zorro hat better. Rest Easy, Ecstacy.
He did tho' didn't he.🙂🙂🙂
Yes sir nobody could rock that hat
If you find one let me know!
Back when Rap had meaning and wisdom
They told a story

Aye Jeezy. I was 16 the first time I heard this. Aah, the good ol' days.....

Welcome to the real hip hop I was raised on homie...One Love
They told stories back then. Creative
V Cooper Hello beautiful this the jam
Yes
real stories that were genuine!
Slick Rick was a master at it. I miss these days.
Really
This puts my mind in such a great place. Some people are calling the song worldly but it talks about love and God is love.
Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏
From chills to the hills going down is all the thrills but going up is all the spills!
Ok
Damn man I'm tearing up Rest In Hip Hop Ecstasy I feel like y'all raised me back on the 80s memories.
Indeed
This beat is still dope as shit... think about this being released in 1985-86 and it wasn’t any other tracks that sounded like this. This beat still dope.
I think to truly appreciate this you had to live it. I'm so glad to have been there!
That intro I still hear. The girls used to pull you to the dance floor.
Fact
Yes nothing like it
REMEMBERING JOHN "ECSTASY" FLETCHER
(JUNE 7, 1964 - DECEMBER 23, 2020)

Dee Love Hello beautiful this the jam
Dee Love You're lucky just have just one!

Dee Love Salute to your folks
Growing up, I always called Ecstasy as "the guy with a cool ass hat" and his flow of rap matched his signature look. This is very unexpected. Rest in peace, John "Ecstasy" Fletcher.
I’m a 90s baby born in 94 but I crank this song nonstop good music is contagious
You guys gotta try to stop co-opting the decade. You’re not a 90s baby if you were born in 1994. Please stop that nonsense. Stop stop stop stop. 90s babies have an 8 at the first digit of their birth year. You are a 2000s baby though and through 🙄
@@chiarosuburekeni9325bro what? Hes a 90s baby he was born and raised in the 90s you dont even make sense
@@H3ndr1x how? Dude was in kindergarten or first grade when y2k hit, aka nowhere close to his formative years. You millennials need to understand the definition and stop trying to latch on. There was some cool shit going on in the 2000s too. Granted not nearly as much as in the 90s but you guys have to stop being ashamed of the truth lol
@chiarosuburekeni9325 ok? He's still was born and raised in the 90s
@chiarosuburekeni9325 I'm not a millennial nor anything older even my 48 year old dad knows he's still a 90s baby if you were born and raised in the 90s then yes you are a 90s baby
Yo fam, that Whodini joint is straight fire! It's got that old school flavor with a fresh twist. It's like a throwback with a twist of lemon, you know what I'm sayin'? That's what we call a 'remix' in the streets. But for real, that One Love video is a classic and still holds up to this day. Whodini never fails to bring the heat.
I love the positive attitude of jahlil when he said better to loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Amen 😌🤗☺
I love more than that about Jalil. Fine! 😍
That's deep yo!
I felt that too Nakia.
FACTS!
amen
