Most epic and iconic rap beat of all time. EVERYONE jammed to this: blacks, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Japanese, Chinese, Pakistanis, KKK members, clergy, Anglo-Saxons, the whole damn mix.
I will never forget the first time I heard this song (to be honest, it was the first rap song id ever heard). So I was born in the US, but was raised in Germany (dad was in the military), and as you can imagine there was really nothing like this there. Then one year, a Puerto Rican family got stationed where we were and they were BLASTING this song out of their military apartment. I was just amazed on how fun the music was. Great memories......

Armed with this album, I rocked my j high school class at our annual end of year party😊. #DJforADay #GoldenMemories 🎉. Rob Base, DJ EZ Rock. 1989. Profile Records.🎉🎉🎉😊
1988 SUPER DUPER CLASSIC 💯❤️💪🏿being honest in 1988 in New Jersey there was no somg that summer with more play. Radio, block paries. I mean this is probably it on the party style a d 1988 was a black ggetto child's year. Idk why. But what can tol 1988???🤔🤔🤔🤷🏿♂️😂💪🏿💯❤️ See in those days people were wearing the expensive things as now. Gucci, Coogi, Bally's etc till Publuc Enemy came wigb the African emblems , and P.E. / Cross Colors. They started a movement abd it was cheap. How could we afford Gucci and Ballys??? Ferrari clothes etc???😂 Love my culture. I love music from all cultures. 💯❤️
The scene that featured this song in The Venture Bros is a monument to Rusty’s life. One moment he’s wringing his hands about how close he is to being bankrupt, a few hours later his skyscraper is lifting off into space.
You say “right about now, you are about to be possessed by the sounds of MC Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock” I say “right about now it’s time to rock with the big itty Buck Bumble” We are not the same.
This joint never gets old. I was 18 years old when this song came out, in the Army out in California. Hip Hop was fun back then! Brings back alot of memories every time I play this joint.

Greatest Hip Hop Sample of All Time!

So many memories hearing this blaring from the Monte Carlos with the t-tops down. Good times.
I wanna rock right now
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
I'm not internationally known
But I'm known to rock the microphone
Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous
Stay away from me if you're contagious
'Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not the loser
To be an M.C. is what I choose 'a
Ladies love me, girls adore me
I mean even the ones who never saw me
Like the way that I rhyme at a show
The reason why, man, I don't know
So let's go, 'cause
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!
My name is Rob, I gotta real funky concept
Listen up, 'cause I'm gonna keep you in step
I got an idea
That I wanna share
You don't like it? So what, I don't care
I'm number one, the uno, I like comp
Bring all the suckers 'cause all them I'll stomp
Bold and black but I won't protect
All of my followers 'cause all I want is respect
I'm not a doctor, put them in rapture
A slick brother that can easy outfox ya
Cause I'm Rob, the last name Base, yeah
And on the mike, I'm known to be the freshest
So let's start, it shouldn't be too hard
I'm not a sucker so I don't need a bodyguard
I won't fess, wear a bulletproof vest
Don't smoke buddha, can't stand sess, yes
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!
The situation that the Base is in
I'm kinda stingy that's why I don't wanna lend
A funky rhyme to a foe or a good friend
But listen up 'cause I want you to comprehend
'Cause I'm the leader, the man superior
I take care of ya and then ya get wearier
So just sit, my rhymes arenot counterfeit
The record sells which makes this one a hit
It won't hurt to listen to Red Alert
Take off your shirt
Make sure it don't hit the dirt
I like the kids--the guys, the girls
I want the ducats 'cause this is Rob Base's world
I'm on a mission, ya better just listen
To my rhymes 'cause I'm all about dissin'
'Cause
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!
I stand alone, don't need anyone
'Cause I'm Rob, just came ot have fun
Don't need friends that act like foes
'Cause I'm Rob Base, the one who knows
About things that make ya get weary
Don't cheer me, just hear me
Out 'cause I got the clout--shout (Ho!)
Before I turn the party out
I won't stutter-- Project my voice, speak clearly
So you can be my choice
On stage or on record
Go to the Wiz and select it
Take it off the rack, if it's wack put it back
I like the Whopper, fuck the Big Mac
If you want static, so let's go
So, throw upyour hands
Go for what you know
Bro', I got an ego
Yo, talkin' to me? No
Oh
'Cause Rob is in the front, EZ Rock is on the Back up
We're not soft, soyou better just slack up
'Cause I'm cool, calm just like a breeze
Rock the mike with the help of EZ
Rock on the set, the music plays
Only cuts the records that I say
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!
All right, now, EZ Rock
Now, when I count to three
I want you to get busy
You ready now?
One, two, three, get loose now!
Brooklyn nights on the ball court, back in the day🔥🏀
WOO! And i cant stress this enough: YEAH!

That song was a soundtrack to Hey, Arnold The Movie (2002).
The scene that featured this song in The Venture Bros is a monument to Rusty’s life. One moment he’s wringing his hands about how close he is to being bankrupt, a few hours later his skyscraper is lifting off into space.
I started whistling this while standing in line to clock out at work
This was the best era ✌🏽
UN APPOVED 2024 ~
I really hope these guys made a pile load of money with this tune coz when I got to the US for college it was overplayed and worn out!!

You say “right about now, you are about to be possessed by the sounds of MC Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock”
