9:30 can we all just take a moment to appreciate that a whole verse of this song is solely devoted to a time he didn’t like the food his friend made, not only that, but there weren’t any hard feelings.
What talent, to rap these lyrics for over 14 minutes. This rap song is pure genious. music from the past was and is so much better, I'm glad we can still listened to it.
As a 12 year old when thin first came out I Record the song in a cassette , constantly stopping it to write the lyrics and then practice saying it to this day I know the whole thing ....
Me too! Except I just had the vinyl, kept resetting the needle. The line that gave me trouble was" Im Just sitting here making myself nauseous with some ugly food that stinks." Ugly kept sounding like " subtly" which made no sense so I just blew through it, no one ever questioned it. Lol
You have to understand this..... When this song hit the airwaves & clubs, it was new fresh, and red hot! At the time, it was considered one of the greatest songs of all time. Everybody was dancin, & rappin. Rapper's Delight helped to open major flood gates on rap......... You had to be there!!!!!
I am now 62 years old. This takes the number one spot for my all time favourites. It is still genius. If only the younger people could appreciate the artistic work and appreciate how it created a musical genre where many of today's artists derive the essence of the stuff they are manufacturing. Rappers Delight was the epitome and pure genius. I still can't get enough of it all these years later.
I'm 57yy and this song brings me back all those delicious memories from the 70's when I was in high school in Honduras. I still dance it and enjoy it 🤪
This song is where the term "Hip-Hop" came from. People had never heard music where they spoke instead of sing and would come in to record stores not knowing the name of the song. So they asked for the "hip-hop" song.
Brilliant work 👏🏻 I learnt the lyrics when I was about 15 (I’m 46 now, so a brilliant party trick). But my now 26 year old knows this too, plus Young MC - fastest rhyme. She knew that by 10 years old 🤟🏻 impressive 😂
And from the time I was only six years old I never forgot what I was told It was the best advice that I ever had It came from my wise dear old dad He said, "Sit down, punk, I wanna talk to you And don't say a word until I'm through Now, there's a time to laugh, a time to cry A time to live and a time to die A time to break and a time to chill To act civilized or act real ill But whatever ya do in your lifetime Y'never let a MC steal your rhyme!"
The greatest rap record of all time. When hip hop had a good groove, made sense and wasn't gangsta. Love that beginning!! That bass and percussion are kickin' it!! Rest in peace Brother Bank Hank. Thank you for your soul and immense talent. You were the most powerful one one on track. We love you and you'll never be forgotten.
Add this song to the 'timeless songs list' - it sounds just as fresh and as relevant on the 16th December 2020 as 16th September 1979 when it was released - never go out of 'fashon' .
I was a freshman in high school when this first came out it was like nothing we had ever heard. I have never liked rap because I can't understand the words but this one has my respect for being the first.
MAN! This song right here, from the first beat, it takes me back to my T.T's house. We all seating in the kitchen and my older cousin come running in the house, holding this album in the air, she ran past us and straight to the huge record player my T.T had in her living room. Man, I tell you the truth, it was love from the first note for us. We played that record at least 20, 30 times before T.T stopped us from playing it again. We would have warn the grooves off that album if she didnt stop us. It was the very first time any of us ever heard rap before. A totally new music style, something never done before. Im from a small town. We didnt live in NY or have any family that lived there, so we didnt see the birth of hip hop in our streets and school yards. This album was our introduction into hip hop. This Album is and will always be, FOR ME, the most important and greatest rap album ever released. It will be played at every family reunion, wedding, anniversary, cook out, and family gathering for all time. Its the best.
Rap music with actual wordplay, clever rhymes, creativity, and good fun. What went wrong between then and now? This is the kind of hip-hop we should be hearing, not the cookie cutter junk we're stuck with.
Us girls, at least 5 of us in the bedroom playing this record over & over until all of us could sing each & every word without messing up. Good times 😊
According to drunk history, there was a time where rap wasn't really structured like a song. If you've ever tried to freestyle without "training" you don't naturally do the whole verse, chorus, verse, chorus thing. At least I never did, and that's why I believe it. When you just freestyle rap for fun, it can just be like an hour long chorus. Just a never ending string of rhymes, that follow the music, and are on beat. Not nonsense either, it has to all make sense. It feels kind of gross to repeat a rhyme, AKA a chorus. So I never naturally did it.
I LOVE Drunk History! This episode is one of my faves. (This one and Typhoid Mary LOL) I have learned some of the most interesting historical facts thanks to those drunk folks! 🍺🍷😂
RIP Big Bank Hank. I grew up listening to this song, I still love it. I'm 11. When I listening to the lyrics 6 years ago I was like, 'How can a pool be on a wall?'
41 years later, this is still the best hip hop lyrics of them all. It was twelve o'clock one Friday night I was rockin' to the beat and feelin' all right Everybody was dancin' on the floor Doin' all the things they never did before And then this fly, fly girl with a sexy lean She came into the bar, she came into the scene As she traveled deeper inside the room All the fellas checked out her white sasoons She came up to the table, looked into my eyes Then she turned around and shook her behind So I said to myself, "It's time for me to release My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece"
My 7 week old was SCREAMING, I turned this on and got her dancing; crying stopped INSTANTLY! Lol it lured her to sleep and kept her moving to keep her calm. I am convinced my in my baby's past life she lived through the 70's through the early 90's! Lol Loves rap , reggae rap, and dance music! I tried playing an upbeat simon and garfunkle (folk) and others and she cried! So funny to see her taste in music so young! Lol
One of the most influential songs of any genre. I dare anyone to listen to this and not move a foot or sing along to a part of it. The Sugar Hill Gang brought a predominantly black music genre to the wider audience, and it has prospered ever since!
I'm glad I found this! WELL DONE! I remember when this rap came out for the first time!!! It was the game changer! I just played it for my 11 and 13-year-old kids. They couldn't hang til the end. That's ok. This will be my new "wake up music" until I learn all of the lyrics. My girls will go to school with the sounds of on and a on and on and on the beat don't stop until the break of dawn! Consider this payback for their countless hours of NightStep! HA!!!
+Samuelito or the bass from another one bites the dust is kinda like Rappers Delight since RD was out about 2 years before another one bites the dust way back in the late 70's.
This is the type of Rap that will forever be one of the best songs. Love it!!! Took me back and still remember the lyrics. Was great when played at the skating rink. 💃💃💃
I sat one afternoon back in 1980 start/stop/rewind a cassette and wrote these lyrics out, and never forgot them even to this day!.............. well it's on n on n on on n on, the beat don't stop until the break of dawn!
Guess what guys. Im 18 and a couple of weeks ago my school had an music show. And the plan was that i where going to rap THIS song. You know what the worst part was? not that this song is 14 min long, but that then i still had braces. Imagine, an asian (living in sweden) guy with no experiance from rapping at all who where going to rap to one of the hardest rap song ever with *braces*!!!
@+Shadow..you are full of shit...i am old scool and 7 years younger then Guy O'brien ''Master gee'', and it took me 3 years to articulate the right words and control breeding...and back in the days there was no lyrics to find...and you just crawled out of a egg and you wish you could keep it 15m33s, that is the original full version....it ends when big bank hank(R.I.P) sings oh lord ,and it still goes on till fade...new jersey-cleveland rules and give ''Master gee'' his name back...biaatch.
I coached a group of kids from the time they were ~10 yrs.of age through high school in rec & church basketball. They were predominantly composed of the young un-coordinated boys that none of the coaches wanted. Year-after-year I would keep them together on the same team. As they grew older they became Very Good. So GOOD at basketball and respectful young men that we would travel to play in Tournaments that I would, at times, be the only adult. The last tournament that we all fit in the one van we travelled to ... they were playing modern rap songs while attempting to creat their own. I had them stream "Rappers Delight" and to their amazement, they were astounded at the mastery of the poetic rhyming to-the-beat, and that the Coach knew all the lyrics. Well, that's when their poetic juices conjealed and they were looking at their rapping with a higher perspective that got them creating their own respectful rap songs, and moving-to-the-beat on the Court with a new swag that had opposing coaches approaching me to take out my two "Big Men" so that their players could approach "The Paint." We seldom had more than seven or eight players. I did not accomodate their requests. The TEAM nearly won their last Rec Championship. Lost by two-points. They went on to colleges. and came back in their college years with Tournaments that they would drive to play in. inviting me to coach. "Rappers Delight" would be streamed in their travels, and has been part of their "go-to" songs ever since. The Team eventually grew into becoming The TITANS.
this song was recorded in Houston , Tx at the Sugarhill Recording Studio , famous for Freddie Fender , Willie Nelson , Lil' Wayne , Beyonce .... i remember when this was recorded
If ever there was a presidential candidate that wanted to destroy the world I'd immediately give them my vote on the condition that they sang this entire song without reading off of anything.
This song was on the radio when I was in grade 10. I recorded it onto my tape recorder from the radio. I would learn a couple of lines and then rewind the tape snd start from the beginning. It took me about three days to really learn it. I am back learning what I forgot.. Surprised that I remember as much as I do. I am planning to go to Karioke and I want to do this!! Lol
Yo no fui engañada por Asereje, cuando yo escuché a la Canción Asereje supe cuál era la canción que Diego escuchaba. Me recordaba a mi hermano menor escuchado esta canción que ponía la canción a cada rato, yo por fuerza de oírla me sabia la cancion. Nunca fue un engaño los de generación de mi hermano y la mía sabíamos cuál era la canción De Diego. Y a mi me encanto Asereje
11:19 I traded a polariod camera for this LP in 79. I know every word. "You never let a MC steal ya rhymes" is still my favorite line in a rap song ever.
color televisions were a novelty even in the 70's. Many programs weren't broadcasted in full color until the early 70s. Black and white televisions outsold color televisions until the 70s. They were expensive and the Rappers were from poor areas. This song was pinned and released in the 70's. The moron that said this rap is from 1980 is just ignorant and trolling or just a sucka mc. Don't hate on the hip hop classics. You heard it from me cause I am dr. fantastic. I go on and on and on and on and on, spit knowledge past the break of dawn. yeah, I don't stop y'all, cause word is bond.
Wau!! Wonderful, unforgettable!! I don't remember how many thousands times I danced this song in the past. The best onces in London and Barcelona!! The best times of my life!! A masterpiece really at this time!!
The 1st rap song to hit it big. I got it for a Christmas present in 1979. It was a 12-incher, the short version on one side and this on the other. The instrumental is Chic's "Good Times."
This song is 1000 times better than the garbage rap produced today. It truly shows creativity, where rap today is just repeating the same 20 second hook for 4 minutes. BORING.
***** I'd rather listen to good music that's been stolen than bad music that's original. You're right, I don't know where to find the good hip-hop, because it takes too much effort to sort through all the garbage.
Back in those days when u rapped: "I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere, put ur hands in the air, wave em like u just don't care, and say yeah, hell yeah". U literally won the rap and no one else could rap cause u killed it
Better than rap today. This is rap, it's fun, it's clever and enjoyable, rap today isn't very clever, and half the time, it sounds the same all the time.
OH... MY GOD this song is absolute _gold._ this is priceless. like, yeah it sounds good, and it'd be great to put on a playlist to run to and all, but that bit about going to your friends house and not being able to deal with the rubbish food was an unexpected delight.
I remember bedtime. After 30 bedtime is all the time because life just make you more tired as it continues. And we only had radios to listen to with no song choices. Everything was either a surprise or a disappointment. We had headphones but soft arc mini speakers that sat directly on the ears so they could be quite uncomfortable. And not noise canceling in the least.
To pit bull who stole hanks rhymes( hotel motel holiday inn) : "but there's a little thing that separates you and me, and that is called originality." 11:38. Serrrrrved his ass before it even happened
Big Bank Hank stole most of his lines from Grandmaster Caz. Pitbull just sampled Rapper’s Delight. Pitbull is awful, but he didn’t steal anything, unlike Hank.
+James Packard Rap hasn't really changed all that much. Just the rappers themselves. Rap used to be about money, drugs, guns, cars and girls. Now it's about random bullshit.
There are more than three thousand words in this tune, and I know them all word-for-word. When I say word-for-word I mean words, inflections and emphasis that each rapper uses. My favourite rapper of the three is Master Gee, listen to him very carefully, he does not stop rapping, he takes his breaths between words (if you listen very carefully, you can actually hear him drawing his breaths). I can match him breath-for-breath through his freestylelye routines. Spent the best part of my life mastering this feat (from 66 to this very day lol). Not really 66, more like 72, but I lifted it from the song in Big Bank Hank's final stanza. There is also an other version of this full length version that does not have the mini-break right at the end, that is the version that I have mastered.
THIS ANOTHER ONE OF THEM JAMS IF YOU WERE ALIVE WHEN IT CAME OUT ON SEPTEMBER 15,1979 I NEED TO KNOW HOW OLD YOU WERE BACK THEN.OH ME I WAS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND ABOUT TO TURN 16 JUST A MERE 9 DAYS LATER.
Its gonna be 2019 and im still listening to the classics hell yeah this is music and its way better then some of the music now and day Have A Happy New Year everybody
Back in 1979 this was a hit on the Manchester, England, underground scene. One week after it was available in Spin Inn records in Manchester there was a guy who had learnt all the lyrics and rapped them in the shop.
9:30 can we all just take a moment to appreciate that a whole verse of this song is solely devoted to a time he didn’t like the food his friend made, not only that, but there weren’t any hard feelings.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's the funniest part of the song 🤣🤣🤣 I feel like they had no idea what they wanted to talk about so they chose really random subjects 🤣🤣🤣
@@zoequibreak3682 and it opens up with “have you ever…” , talk about audience engagement lol
@@nittanydragon1420 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes that's genius 😍🤣🤣
also matches up to colt 45
Lmao! Yes, hubby and I have loved that part since this song came out...we were newlyweds at the time, and I was learning how to cook!!!
I've been listening to this for 30 years and it never fails to make me happy.
What talent, to rap these lyrics for over 14 minutes. This rap song is pure genious. music from the past was and is so much better, I'm glad we can still listened to it.

Haha now your d expert
Even in your sleep, you can say it😀 i bet
Make a video!
Me too! Except I just had the vinyl, kept resetting the needle. The line that gave me trouble was" Im Just sitting here making myself nauseous with some ugly food that stinks." Ugly kept sounding like " subtly" which made no sense so I just blew through it, no one ever questioned it. Lol
You too?🤣

still hits in the future
Still and all time great 🐐 beats any current rap song
My friends know all the words and were born in the 90’s. I’m trying to get on their level!
"At the time" = Now!!!
I fucking love how there is a whole section of the song that's just an awkward dinner between two friends.
It's good to know they are still friends ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Geometry Dash Agent Agreed, agreed. Don't let that gross food keep you down, friends.
+Seth Brandon ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+Lotfi Adam I'm starting to get the feeling it was less about friendship.

I am now 62 years old. This takes the number one spot for my all time favourites. It is still genius. If only the younger people could appreciate the artistic work and appreciate how it created a musical genre where many of today's artists derive the essence of the stuff they are manufacturing. Rappers Delight was the epitome and pure genius. I still can't get enough of it all these years later.
I'm 57yy and this song brings me back all those delicious memories from the 70's when I was in high school in Honduras.
I still dance it and enjoy it 🤪

Me too, Cynthia. I don't know if we're considered "relics" or just "vintage", LOL. Either way, proud of it, we had great music then...
R.i.p to my daddy. This was his song .
I love you daddy aka Mr Scott 🥰
this shit is straight fire, the man just rhymed all the words in the dictionary and made this sick beat 1000000/10
I'm 50 now, but this is my basic song, anytime. I feel young when I hear it. This is why a song is made for

My 13 year old daughter can rap the entire thing .....
I feel like the best Dad ever
Brilliant work 👏🏻 I learnt the lyrics when I was about 15 (I’m 46 now, so a brilliant party trick). But my now 26 year old knows this too, plus Young MC - fastest rhyme. She knew that by 10 years old 🤟🏻 impressive 😂
I would sing this song bymyself without singalong back in the day... those were the days, long walks
what a great classic, never tired of listening this legendary beat.
And from the time I was only six years old
I never forgot what I was told
It was the best advice that I ever had
It came from my wise dear old dad
He said, "Sit down, punk, I wanna talk to you
And don't say a word until I'm through
Now, there's a time to laugh, a time to cry
A time to live and a time to die
A time to break and a time to chill
To act civilized or act real ill
But whatever ya do in your lifetime
Y'never let a MC steal your rhyme!"
Try "Good Times" by Chic. 😁
The greatest rap record of all time. When hip hop had a good groove, made sense and wasn't gangsta. Love that beginning!! That bass and percussion are kickin' it!! Rest in peace Brother Bank Hank. Thank you for your soul and immense talent. You were the most powerful one one on track. We love you and you'll never be forgotten.
Lyndell Jones
Yeah, we can hear that the rhyming, and the flowing were soooo different between the 70s rap to mid 80s
I don't think they realize what a master pice they created until years later. what a classic.....the best rap song ever
First rap song I ever listened too. I went out and bought the album. Still have it to this day. Love it. I was 13-14 when I heard it.
The song that started it all. Everyone should be greatful for this song and know the lyrics.
Doctor: you have 14 minutes left to live
Me:
The song have 14:45 :v
That's 45 seconds of greatness wasted
best decision ever
Hero.
Then he says oops i meant 12 minutes
Thank you for playing the last 6 minutes of the song that was never herd in the last 40 years. The first ever true Rap song. Bravoand thanks to All
Add this song to the 'timeless songs list' - it sounds just as fresh and as relevant on the 16th December 2020 as 16th September 1979 when it was released - never go out of 'fashon' .
Wow period
I was a freshman in high school when this first came out it was like nothing we had ever heard. I have never liked rap because I can't understand the words but this one has my respect for being the first.
40 years old and still a brilliant tune
I won't date anyone unless they can rap the entire 14 minutes of this song without any hesitation or mistakes
Salty Pear you must be so lonely...
hmu
You better start learning mr. lonely song XDD
You gonna be dating a lot of classy and stylish people then. My dad used to know the whole lyrics... not that I'm giving you any ideas.
In other words, you won't date anyone.
the lyrical skill in this song is insane!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
I'm 50 & sang this since was 16😂😂 never get these tunes back & no one will ever beat them 🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃💙 from Liverpool 🇬🇧

Good luck m8
i know them all, a white boy from n.b. canada, beeotch!
Its been a month, hows the progress?
Michael Franco fuck ya i didnt even need to ask!
Rap music with actual wordplay, clever rhymes, creativity, and good fun. What went wrong between then and now? This is the kind of hip-hop we should be hearing, not the cookie cutter junk we're stuck with.
I ask myself that all the time! Glad to know I'm not alone.
You can only hear about bitches, hos, sexual favors, drugs, guns, and "bling-bling" so many times before it gets tiresome. And boy, is it.
This was like the first rap song that became popular you know? It's a trendsetter.
Reid Mason why do white people say this so much it's like the only thing you can come up with when you say you don't like rap so generic
youknowhowthisis
I don't know why white people say this so much. Maybe because that's what they think?

The beginning (the bass) reminds me of Another One Bites the Dust

that's because the first 3 notes are the same. it's different after that
I agree with you!!!!
The first three notes are basically the same, but the part after comes in just a bit farther back and takes up more of the measure

RIP Big Bank Hank. I grew up listening to this song, I still love it. I'm 11. When I listening to the lyrics 6 years ago I was like, 'How can a pool be on a wall?'
To finally answer your question, I think it means a shower.
41 years later, this is still the best hip hop lyrics of them all.
It was twelve o'clock one Friday night
I was rockin' to the beat and feelin' all right
Everybody was dancin' on the floor
Doin' all the things they never did before
And then this fly, fly girl with a sexy lean
She came into the bar, she came into the scene
As she traveled deeper inside the room
All the fellas checked out her white sasoons
She came up to the table, looked into my eyes
Then she turned around and shook her behind
So I said to myself, "It's time for me to release
My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece"
This is better than today’s rap. Why you ask?
CAUSE U CAN UNDERSTAND THEM
You're one for those people were your vocabulary is "mumble crap"
My 7 week old was SCREAMING, I turned this on and got her dancing; crying stopped INSTANTLY! Lol it lured her to sleep and kept her moving to keep her calm. I am convinced my in my baby's past life she lived through the 70's through the early 90's! Lol Loves rap , reggae rap, and dance music! I tried playing an upbeat simon and garfunkle (folk) and others and she cried! So funny to see her taste in music so young! Lol
Sure she did
Uhm ok nice but we really dont need to know your dughters past life. But cool story tho

Ok stop making shit up. Sure he got relaxed but he didn’t live a past life so stop thinking that way.

My 37 year old daughter told me to make sure I play this at her funeral.....
She has me messed up now!!!
I'm glad I found this! WELL DONE! I remember when this rap came out for the first time!!! It was the game changer! I just played it for my 11 and 13-year-old kids. They couldn't hang til the end.

Consider this payback for their countless hours of NightStep! HA!!!
The bass is kinda like Another One Bites The Dust
+Samuelito Both apparently sampled from the long instrumental section of the full cut of Chic's "Good Times". They come from the same source material.

This is the type of Rap that will forever be one of the best songs. Love it!!! Took me back and still remember the lyrics. Was great when played at the skating rink. 💃💃💃
Love this song and thank you for putting it up on RUclips along with the lyrics. This is street poetry at its best and its a lot of fun.
THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN THE RAP OF TODAY!!!!

ehh there are good songs from nowadays too. everytime has good and bad songs, its just that the bad songs get forgotten.

I sat one afternoon back in 1980 start/stop/rewind a cassette and wrote these lyrics out, and never forgot them even to this day!.............. well it's on n on n on on n on, the beat don't stop until the break of dawn!
Guess what guys. Im 18 and a couple of weeks ago my school had an music show. And the plan was that i where going to rap THIS song. You know what the worst part was? not that this song is 14 min long, but that then i still had braces. Imagine, an asian (living in sweden) guy with no experiance from rapping at all who where going to rap to one of the hardest rap song ever with *braces*!!!
D: ebola-chan please no!
xD
crazy
Shadow Prove it! :D
@+Shadow..you are full of shit...i am old scool and 7 years younger then Guy O'brien ''Master gee'', and it took me 3 years to articulate the right words and control breeding...and back in the days there was no lyrics to find...and you just crawled out of a egg and you wish you could keep it 15m33s, that is the original full version....it ends when big bank hank(R.I.P) sings oh lord ,and it still goes on till fade...new jersey-cleveland rules and give ''Master gee'' his name back...biaatch.
My Father Loved This Song Man😭
RIP Daddy 👼🏽🙏🏽✨
Ok 👴👴👴
I coached a group of kids from the time they were ~10 yrs.of age through high school in rec & church basketball. They were predominantly composed of the young un-coordinated boys that none of the coaches wanted. Year-after-year I would keep them together on the same team. As they grew older they became Very Good. So GOOD at basketball and respectful young men that we would travel to play in Tournaments that I would, at times, be the only adult.
The last tournament that we all fit in the one van we travelled to ... they were playing modern rap songs while attempting to creat their own. I had them stream "Rappers Delight" and to their amazement, they were astounded at the mastery of the poetic rhyming to-the-beat, and that the Coach knew all the lyrics.
Well, that's when their poetic juices conjealed and they were looking at their rapping with a higher perspective that got them creating their own respectful rap songs, and moving-to-the-beat on the Court with a new swag that had opposing coaches approaching me to take out my two "Big Men" so that their players could approach "The Paint." We seldom had more than seven or eight players. I did not accomodate their requests. The TEAM nearly won their last Rec Championship. Lost by two-points.
They went on to colleges. and came back in their college years with Tournaments that they would drive to play in. inviting me to coach.
"Rappers Delight" would be streamed in their travels, and has been part of their "go-to" songs ever since.
The Team eventually grew into becoming The TITANS.
this song was recorded in Houston , Tx at the Sugarhill Recording Studio , famous for Freddie Fender , Willie Nelson , Lil' Wayne , Beyonce .... i remember when this was recorded
I'm learning all of the lyrics and when I do I'm putting it on my CV when I leave high school
That's all you need to put on there.
You're hired!
If ever there was a presidential candidate that wanted to destroy the world I'd immediately give them my vote on the condition that they sang this entire song without reading off of anything.
I was born in 2003 and I'm so loving this🔥
Wow, 2003, i hear this year very rare
Me too
This song was on the radio when I was in grade 10. I recorded it onto my tape recorder from the radio. I would learn a couple of lines and then rewind the tape snd start from the beginning. It took me about three days to really learn it. I am back learning what I forgot.. Surprised that I remember as much as I do. I am planning to go to Karioke and I want to do this!! Lol
YO AQUÍ VINE A COMPROBAR QUE HEMOS SIDO ENGAÑADO CON LA CANCIÓN ASEREJE POR TANTO AÑOS!!!! quien más está aquí por eso???
No estoy aquí porque mi profesor de música me envió
Yo no fui engañada por Asereje, cuando yo escuché a la Canción Asereje supe cuál era la canción que Diego escuchaba. Me recordaba a mi hermano menor escuchado esta canción que ponía la canción a cada rato, yo por fuerza de oírla me sabia la cancion. Nunca fue un engaño los de generación de mi hermano y la mía sabíamos cuál era la canción De Diego. Y a mi me encanto Asereje
Never gets old. Would love to see what these guys would dress like today.
Black t-shirts,black sweat pants and $800 sneakers
Wow! This song never gets old. " OJ, Collards, Keopectate, & much more.
Im glad my dad made me listen to this stuff when i was younger, because this song gives me such good me such memories and i'm only 15!
Congrats.
No one cares.
Alec Goon I do :3
Mrabo007 Oh...well...damn, I guess I was wrong then.
Well atleast this ended peacefully.
Victor Grottil Why did you have to destroy this?..
please gtfo
11:19 I traded a polariod camera for this LP in 79. I know every word. "You never let a MC steal ya rhymes" is still my favorite line in a rap song ever.
THROW BACK TO WHEN HIP HOP WAS REAL !!! *let's Not argue*
Queen C.A did you know the term hip hop came from this song? people would come to the record store and ask for the hip hop song
wow these were the best rappers in america. and I love that flow of words
At 1:50 when he boasted about having a colour tv I laughed so hard
used to be the shit back in the day
Not everyone had it either while today everyone does. So it's not that stupid.
***** Well then that's even worse coz he's boasting about something that's been available for 30 years
color televisions were a novelty even in the 70's. Many programs weren't broadcasted in full color until the early 70s. Black and white televisions outsold color televisions until the 70s. They were expensive and the Rappers were from poor areas. This song was pinned and released in the 70's. The moron that said this rap is from 1980 is just ignorant and trolling or just a sucka mc.
Don't hate on the hip hop classics. You heard it from me cause I am dr. fantastic. I go on and on and on and on and on, spit knowledge past the break of dawn. yeah, I don't stop y'all, cause word is bond.
+John Bean-Dip the song came out in the 70s lol #fail
Wau!! Wonderful, unforgettable!!
I don't remember how many thousands times I danced this song in the past. The best onces in London and Barcelona!!
The best times of my life!!
A masterpiece really at this time!!
The 1st rap song to hit it big. I got it for a Christmas present in 1979. It was a 12-incher, the short version on one side and this on the other. The instrumental is Chic's "Good Times."
Hip hop saved lots of lives in NY 👍👍its not the same anymore😢👎👎
Angel Martinez how did it save lives?
@m barber yeah that's EXACTLY what ruined it. 🙄
This song is 1000 times better than the garbage rap produced today. It truly shows creativity, where rap today is just repeating the same 20 second hook for 4 minutes. BORING.
Found the music snob.
PantsMasterPlays Thank you for the compliment.
It's only annoying because it's true
***** I'd rather listen to good music that's been stolen than bad music that's original. You're right, I don't know where to find the good hip-hop, because it takes too much effort to sort through all the garbage.
There's plenty of good shit today, just harder to find.
BADBADNOTGOOD- Ray Gun ft. Ghost face Killah and MF DOOM
Back in those days when u rapped: "I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere, put ur hands in the air,
wave em like u just don't care,
and say yeah, hell yeah".
U literally won the rap and no one else could rap cause u killed it
Still listening and always will ... my jam after so many years. Old school forever
Better than rap today. This is rap, it's fun, it's clever and enjoyable, rap today isn't very clever, and half the time, it sounds the same all the time.
Needed a lil old school this morning
My wife just danced the entire song while my baby son and I watched lol good times...
9:29 my dad always raps this part when me or my brother's friends come over
OH... MY GOD this song is absolute _gold._ this is priceless. like, yeah it sounds good, and it'd be great to put on a playlist to run to and all, but that bit about going to your friends house and not being able to deal with the rubbish food was an unexpected delight.
mom said I can listen to one more song
N.A.R Channel bro
That there is a loop hole!
No, she said a hip, hop, the hippie.
I remember bedtime. After 30 bedtime is all the time because life just make you more tired as it continues. And we only had radios to listen to with no song choices. Everything was either a surprise or a disappointment. We had headphones but soft arc mini speakers that sat directly on the ears so they could be quite uncomfortable. And not noise canceling in the least.
N.A.R Channel 😂😊
I wanna challenge any modern day rapper to shoehorn in “Kaopectate” into a song. 😂😂
🤣
JUSTE MAGNIFIQUE ...✌✌✌
Ce que j écoutais dans les années 1980
MERCI

To pit bull who stole hanks rhymes( hotel motel holiday inn) : "but there's a little thing that separates you and me, and that is called originality." 11:38. Serrrrrved his ass before it even happened
Big Bank Hank stole most of his lines from Grandmaster Caz. Pitbull just sampled Rapper’s Delight. Pitbull is awful, but he didn’t steal anything, unlike Hank.
Rap has changed soooo much...............
Not really...
Greg Debrosse lol stfu pls
Callum Woodgate Thanks for that bro! he is a dumbass.
+James Packard Rap hasn't really changed all that much. Just the rappers themselves. Rap used to be about money, drugs, guns, cars and girls. Now it's about random bullshit.
i'm 2 year late, but i think they just renamed egotrip rap
There are more than three thousand words in this tune, and I know them all word-for-word. When I say word-for-word I mean words, inflections and emphasis that each rapper uses. My favourite rapper of the three is Master Gee, listen to him very carefully, he does not stop rapping, he takes his breaths between words (if you listen very carefully, you can actually hear him drawing his breaths). I can match him breath-for-breath through his freestylelye routines. Spent the best part of my life mastering this feat (from 66 to this very day lol). Not really 66, more like 72, but I lifted it from the song in Big Bank Hank's final stanza. There is also an other version of this full length version that does not have the mini-break right at the end, that is the version that I have mastered.
magburner how long has this taken you?
THIS ANOTHER ONE OF THEM JAMS IF YOU WERE ALIVE WHEN IT CAME OUT ON SEPTEMBER 15,1979 I NEED TO KNOW HOW OLD YOU WERE BACK THEN.OH ME I WAS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND ABOUT TO TURN 16 JUST A MERE 9 DAYS LATER.
Simply amazing, words can't describe! the beat don't stop baby!
Why can't it be like this anymore bro
Transports me back to my pre-teens with the crew roller skating! Love this jam 💗
I heard it first in 1976.my boyfriend use to sing only this song to me.is this the first hit for rap?
Definitely great poet..black Americans you are exceptional poetic people..I love your talent..even other nations try to copy you guys..
My mom has been singing the part about cheese for as long as I can remember
SAME!
I say a hip, hop
This is definitely one of the hardest songs for me to karaoke. I need to make sure I am sober and well hydrated.
Tough Guy keep in mind there are 3 guys rapping this...they have time to breathe :)
Its gonna be 2019 and im still listening to the classics hell yeah this is music and its way better then some of the music now and day Have A Happy New Year everybody
It's a rainy day in D.C.~~~PERFECT time to listen to the dance magic of this song! I FEEL GOOD DOIN' IT! :D
The story about the dude eating bad food at his friend's house haha! That was funny.
Ikr I was talking to my mom and I'm like I don't get that part lol
Not really
I can be at funeral, paying my respects, but if this song comes on you best believe i’m pop locking my way to the casket.
Back in 1979 this was a hit on the Manchester, England, underground scene. One week after it was available in Spin Inn records in Manchester there was a guy who had learnt all the lyrics and rapped them in the shop.
First, actual rap song, way ahead of it's time!!! Great song, lots of great memories with this cool 1️⃣!!
Siri sings this if u say siri rap
Zhu zhu army OMG I forgot Siri could do that
Omg thx
and it is hilarious!
Unfortunately it’s only a few lines
😂🤣
I learned the 7 minute one just by purely loving the song but then I learned there was this one, double as long and now I have more to learn😂
Wow finally the lyrics turns on on time on the screen so you can actually rap along without losing a second. Great job, thank you!
NEVER EVER GETS OLD!!!!
