True that I use to rock this everyday all day wit my big box walking around the hood wit my crew on the flip side of this was the original version of I need a beat💯💪🏾
I was 9 in 1984...10 in 1985...so...LL Cool J was like the first Bad Azz Battle MC...and he was a boxer too, I believe. We listened to everything underground back then on 88.5 FM WHPK CHICAGO
I saw J perform this remix at the Fresh Festival at the Civic Center in Baltimore in the mid 80's. LL will always be one of the greats to hold the mic.
back when I had to hear it over and over again!! can't believe what we have allowed to happen to hip hop... it has been taken hostage and we need to get it back''
I remember hearing this remix version for the first time in the summer of 1986 on Chicago's WHPK radio. This is definitely a street corner blasting, JVC cassette tape boomboxing, B-boying, Hip-Hop classic. I like this version better compared to the album version. Today's so called hip-hop artists really need to take notes of how artists during that era used breakbeats, scratching, freestyling, and sampling to make it into an art form. Queen Latifah said there is no art in today's hip-hop!
I remember catching this on the radio and recording it on cassette. Played that joint til the tape broke! Then got some scotch tape, pieced it together and rocked it some more! I was a youngin' in the Chi back then...man, I miss true Hip hop!
DUSM Yeah, all you need is scotch tape, a screwdriver to open the cassette, and a pencil to wind it back up after you assemble it together, done! Those were the good ol' days! I used to listen to J.P. Chill on WHPK playing straight up underground hip hop!
C-L-A-S-S-I-C! This was from his very first album, Radio. This track cannot be matched by anybody! Thanx 4 posting. I haven't heard this in about 25 plus years!
I remember when I first heard this on a mix record in I think it was '85, should have bought the single, did get the Rock the Bells original, this was LL at his best!!
@@mymixin8852 Indeed...a shame that whole generations have no idea just how hard Uncle L was...the original mix of Rock the Bells is among the greatest tracks ever...and, The Breakthrough gets plays every week for me to this day
Purity-the essence of a culture that defined a time in urban America that changed our horizons. Listening to the pure energy of an art form, captured in LL's vocals. Rakim is like jazz, KRS-1 and KMDare like refined art, DMC, PE, and PE are reminiscent of the crafty ensembles. None were like LL in his prime, he was rock n roll, soul, blues, and classic rolled into one. This is poetry, and it's pure.
I have been waiting to hear this one. remix of one of the best ll cool j songs (and from the only album that really mattered...) thanks for posting. rare def jam
Damn!! I've been waiting for years to hear this again. I scratched up my 12" of this learning how to mix in 1987! Bout time this was posted! After hearing this version with Cut Creator scratching that flute sample and "rock" the album version sounded weak to me!
When walking with you boys and riding bikes were cool, fat gold chains, fat shoelaces,puma shoes and cassette tapes and big radio's shit I miss the 80's school dance's and the girls with their pickles with the peppermint and the door knocker earrings......
You was Blessed if you were tuned in to 96 W.H.Y.T when The Electrifying Mojo dropped this remix for the first time , I was blown away!! LL was the Goat wayy back then . WordSmith for sure ...thats why when a hear some of these new dudes mumblin and cant hear what they sayin I be like NO.....just NO
@JayTronik : Indeed, he was the greatest!!! Those who were there and can remember the time could never deny that. He was the Michael Jackson of rap in terms of his untouchable status, but for some reason, over time, he has declined dramatically. I don't understand how such a thing could happen. What happened to the vocabulary??? What happened to the soulful passion and confidence that touched and inspired us all? It seems that he has lost his soul and attempts to fake it with an ego facade.
@aush1969 I can dig it, I saw his first tour. When I first met Cut Creator I told him how dope this song was and he just smiled cause he knew it was true.

Oh my God!! I didn't even think anyone had this remix anymore! You are straight up representing Classic Hip Hop
In my opinion LL spit his best lyrics ever in this song!
He brought everything in this minimalist gem.
C-L-A-S-S-I-C! This was from his very first album, Radio. This track cannot be matched by anybody! Thanx 4 posting. I haven't heard this in about 25 plus years!
This remix was not on his first album.....
Damn I been looking for this forever!!! Every time I see Slick Rick Children Story and hear that dun dun dun dun. I think about this remix.
That would be "Mona Lisa" you were referring to, kind sir 😉
Man the stereo in my house almost melted this shit was so hot in '85-'86. I was like this kid can't be stopped!
F’n absolutely!!!! Felt the same way!!!!
I remember when I first heard this on a mix record in I think it was '85, should have bought the single, did get the Rock the Bells original, this was LL at his best!!
my joint, I wore this out back in the day.. can believe how time has change like it did for the worse.
Man this is a true classic! Today's Hip Hop dont come close!
All time fav😊
Vocal chords so rough that I could eat cactus! damn

The Goat L.L. I met Cool J. A couple of times He is jst like his Name Cool as Hell! No ego.
This is by far LL's best shit ever
Rock the bells you'll rock too...lol
@@mymixin8852 Indeed...a shame that whole generations have no idea just how hard Uncle L was...the original mix of Rock the Bells is among the greatest tracks ever...and, The Breakthrough gets plays every week for me to this day
This was one of the first 12” records I ever bought. Run -DMC’s Jam Master Jammin 12” too. I miss these old songs. 💯
Man, this and the original rock the bells. Debated with my friends for years. They were the best in the young LL era
Got this joint on vinyl. I’ll never sell it!!

I remember that show. I was in Albany for summer vacation and had to be about 5 or 6 and was tryin my hardest to go to that show!Lol...

Saw this song performed live in Albany, Ga when he was on tour with Whoudini, Beastie Boys, and Run DMC. Very good show
Samuel Wicks me too, either 85 or 86
Saw them in Chicago
This is actually the first version I heard (back in the 80’s). I had no idea it was a remix until like last year or 2022 lol.

Thank you I been looking for the remix for years
Damn ... Ive been looking for this remix for like 20 years.... bumpin
I have the ORIGINAL poster of his 1st album radio! Had it for 30plus years!
NOW THIS DA ONE I LOVED BEST,I DON'T WHY THEY DIDN.T PUT IT ON THE CD AS A BONUS OR SOMETHIN.
This was my favorite remix form the Radio LP. I remember I didn't think anyone was better than LL until I heard Rakim in 86 lol
Rakim wasn't all that no disrespect at all but LL WOULD have crush him Rakim could only rap on certain track's
for those who like to groove, the flute loop was sampled from Eastside Connection - Frisco Disco. (Ultimate Breaks & Beats Vol. 13 - 1987)
This is a classic Cool J rhyme. This remix is one of the illest ever !!!
I have been waiting to hear this one. remix of one of the best ll cool j songs (and from the only album that really mattered...)
thanks for posting. rare def jam
this is when Hip Hop was serious and fun at the same time it was the perfect mixture word up''
Damn!!
I've been waiting for years to hear this again. I scratched up my 12" of this learning how to mix in 1987!
Bout time this was posted! After hearing this version with Cut Creator scratching that flute sample and "rock" the album version sounded weak to me!
The track that he is scratching is called "Frisco Disco" Slick Rick used it on "Mona Lisa".
Bout to go blast this shit in the ride
Yep...I got the 12" and I'm not selling it..Dude is nothing but the truth!!!! ROCK..ROCK...BREAK!!! YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING!!!
When walking with you boys and riding bikes were cool, fat gold chains, fat shoelaces,puma shoes and cassette tapes and big radio's shit I miss the 80's school dance's and the girls with their pickles with the peppermint and the door knocker earrings......
THE RIPPER STRIKES, AND STRIKES, AND STRIKES, AND STRIKES

You was Blessed if you were tuned in to 96 W.H.Y.T when The Electrifying Mojo dropped this remix for the first time , I was blown away!!

I had this 12" i need it again
Still jamming in 2019!
Isso é que é hip hop cru e verdadeiro como conheco!!!🎶🎵🎼😑
@soln4suhreborn Actually that isn't Cut Creator doing the scratching on this. Jazzy Jay who remixed this version is one behind the turntables.
I will look into it, I believe Jazzy Jay did the remix for "I Need a beat" and "You'll Rock" but the scratching for both was Cut Creator..
HARD 🔥
Classic for sure
i need this song
Vocal cords so rough that I can eat cactus
Awesome
they should put his on his greatest hits.
Dopeness
the G.O.A.T
No doubt man hell yeah walking around with my boom box JVC and
ah Respect to them Both!!
Classic tune!!! What's the 'break' Cut Creator scratch's up all the way through this track? ...
Disco Airlines. classical
breakbeat
@@marcusmccombs3216 Could you be more specific as been after this break since I first LL's record when it first came out. ;)
The record he is scratching through is called Frisco Disco by Eastside Connection,.. A classic breakbeat
@@marcusmccombs3216 Much better than side B !!!! Cheers amigo ;)
hey bro glad i could assist
Did y'all know that LL COOL J used to ghost write 4 RUN-D.M.C.? Ooh yeah that's factz! He wrote "CAN YOU ROCK IT LIKE THIS"...
had this 12" back in the day...this my shit
I was there
Queens N.Y.
If Big L hadda stayed in his mother’s basement, no one would ever had unseated him, including PAC.
DOPE X 10
C-L-A-S-S-I-C!!!!
I had toskoll a couple of young cats so i came here...just when u think something is new...ITS NOT..LL use the word player in 85 folks
Where can I download this? I've been looking for this for years!
I wonder how many batteries does that radio take?
10 DBATTERIES
Fred Cooks 20 D Energizer's.
Probably 8 or 10 D cells cuz that's what most of mine takes except for one that takes 12. Not saying I got a lot but I got nine of them.
🔥🔥🔥
wow divine intervention i just ask about this joint and it came up on the screen thanks yt
chooooon
Everybody knows cut creators his DJ but isn't this mixed by Jazzy Jay. I've always thought it was.
@JayTronik : Indeed, he was the greatest!!! Those who were there and can remember the time could never deny that. He was the Michael Jackson of rap in terms of his untouchable status, but for some reason, over time, he has declined dramatically. I don't understand how such a thing could happen.

yo true lyrics son
must haves: more L.L. remixe.
+Mark Alonzo FOR SURE!!!
Which One is better RUN DMC's Peter Piper or LL COOL J's You'll Rock
You'll rock
2023!
Slap
@blackwaxjh True,but Cut Creator did the cuts on the LP version though,definitely.
@aush1969 I can dig it, I saw his first tour. When I first met Cut Creator I told him how dope this song was and he just smiled cause he knew it was true.
I hope if it's your birthday you have a great day
That’s a no! Somethings you just have to leave alone man.
he said queens blvd is soft they don't come around here LOL!!!
It's okay, I guess....
