    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......

    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!

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. 💯❤️
