2024 Still Here Doing it
Long live the 80s!!!
This track is eternal & was an INSTANT classic from the first bar. Pure Genius
Okay Set it off may be the one rap song that is truly the one. 1984, 10 years old white kid. At a youth center learning about culture and break dancing. Made my mom get me Shell Toe Adidas, and went and bought fat laces. All the kids taught me moves. I am 49 now and this is the one that will always bring me back. No matter what. Only others were Jam on it, White line Highway, and planet rock. I will forever be grateful for the mark these songs have made on my soul.
Planet Rock is a whole mood 😂😂I love that jam born in 83 so this is my kinda music
Me too. 46 here
Rastafari Family and Soul Family vibrations
What’s so crazy about this guy is his style is legendary this song has been in my head since 1986 bro

Whoop
The whistle in the beginning of the song gets me hype every time!!!
Set it off
I get you fam
This song will always be the party starter!!!!!
This song was blessed and sent down from the Gods above. Definitely came “from another place” other than Earth, that I’m convinced
First time I heard this song was in 95 when i first saw the movie - The Principal (1987)- and ive loved it ever since. Strafe FTW.
Could this possibly be the best dance song ever created?
I have to definitely agree and if anybody ever wanted me to dance sneak up in their set it off and you'll see what danceing is all about Best Song Ever
yep!
Only if he created it but he stole it from a Band leader from Boston FROM THE E WATER BAND
Possibly
@@BlockBallerRecords If u have it? Post it. If true, or until I hear it, I'm a lean on he was inspired by. My reason- all his songs are some kind of similar: unique, proving his creative level way high
I was in 7th Grade when this song first came out, and three decades later, it's STILL great music!
Watching the 1987 film, The Principal, brought me here! :)
It will never get old.............will set off any dance club yesterday, today and tommorrow!
Never get old? Hmm
This song always puts me in a good mood :)
This song always puts me in a good mood
the best jam ever..walk into a club and this song goes on its like a sunami of people just scream oooooohhhhhhhh yea and dance there way to the dance floor
Oh yeah! I remember this in the early 80's - in Manhattan. Uptown 80's-90's Amsterdam Ave. Miss that time.
This song almost always guaranteed a packed dance floor with everyone...and I mean EVERYONE...grooving hard to this jam. People would stop in the middle of a conversation just to run out on the dance floor. Block parties all over NYC, boom boxes blaring at basketball courts, and cars rolling to the local clubs would play this classic. Little did we know that we would have by far the best music to mingle with. Miss those days so much.
The Principal ... very good movie !
right
gk cru No more!

This song is so awesome
This 🎵song🎶 has me soooo crunk! Good memories!!😢🤔😁❤
I remember there was a snippet of this song in "The Principal" w/ Jim Belushi.
Soon Togiola Yep, that's where I heard it for the first time on cable when I was a kid and loved it but never heard it again till 20 years later.
damn this brings me back to riding around in the car with my pops in through the bronx in the late 80s early 90s
When you hear this and you from Florida you know what time it is
This song made me want to be a dj. I first heard it at a Rock Steady party in the early 80's in the Bronx.
Boy George said in an interview this was the very first house track he ever heard, and it basically started him as a DJ for electronic music!
interesting point but not necesarily true
Cool jam. Also the track for the "clean-up" montage in "The Principal", which is a cool movie. Long live the 80's!!!
I used to tear it up on the dance floor to this! Whenever it came on, I would stop what I was doing and run to the dance floor lol. This is my jam, good memories. 👍🏼😎
STRAFE! This NEW YORKER, Brooklyn kid! HE tore shit up! STYLE, ORIGINALITY!!! Performance!! AND great MUSIC throughout the years! A big inspiration!!
OMG!!! I love this song!!! this is so 80's house music at it's best...
THE ROXY NYC ! it was CRAZY heard this song months b4 it was played on the radio, and even after it was played on the radio it still was HOT.
This is my jam........Damn, never gets old!
It’s actually classic and retro
Ah how I miss that beat! This was one of the premier jams in the clubs of the 80's.
I LOVE THIS SONG THIS WAS THE JAM BACK IN THE DAYZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!
"Y'all want this party started right? Y'all want this party started QUICKLY, right?!"
Classic. This song was used by so many dj's in NY during the 84-85 era. I fricking loved it. I had it on most of my mixtapes and radio show mixes. WBLS, MR MAGIC. 97KISSFM RED ALERT ETC....... Salute to Strafe for this smash. I used to break to this #SETITOFF
My favorite childhood song,still makes me wanna dance!
Yo down in the So Fla that was the shiz. "Set it off" was always in the mix on Power 96
I used to be in south GA in the skating rink
Im from little havana... Miami 305 in tha house!
This was the song back in the day, loved this song to death!
Listened to this song as l faced challenges at work as a new colleague. I was so convinced God had brought me to this particular job "for such a time as this".2 years down, my immediate supervisor would resign and l was the favourite to takeover.This God who has been my Shelter and has seen me through it all is definitely going before me.Shelter through the storms indeed
Club night music gets you in the groove
My favorite song of all time!!
Once this starts playing blacks folks stop what they are doing and start doing the electric slide. LoL At least that's how it was for us in the early 90's.
Hell yeah but we called it the bus stop
850 LBP That's what we called it down in Ga. too but every time I say the bus stop people look at me like what the hell is he talking about. LoL
man I remember those days....it was either this or Mike Jackson....
Yeah your right
I'm just a dumbass white boy who knows wirebending and tech, but that's also immensely offensive. And I ran roadie for One Drop. Bitch.
I don't think people will understand how this song only ever snuck in on live mixes on the radio at night. This is as smooth as silk.
Classic, , can u imagine living off of one hit. This would be the one.
This is one of my all time favorites. They don't make them like this any more. I still want to dance drink and whatever I use to do back in the day when I hear this.
Big city vibes. Back when clubs had live performances. Venue's were dope. Music was prolific!
went to school with him one of my close homeboys Stevie B as well. i used to dance for nice and Wild dude that used to sing you're my diamond girl John Menace this is back in the good old days God bless them all peace out to Brooklyn LL stay funky represent your Queens I was raised out of Brooklyn baby baby
Oct/1984 for me, just outside of Fort Lee VA, at a club just inside Petersburg, VA.... rocked this song til I couldn't dance anymore :-D
No DJ worth his salt would dare work a party without having this song somewhere in his crates. If he left it at home, he'd get back in his car and GET IT. If all else fails at the party, break this out and you have eight minutes to get your shit together.
There's no probably; this is the greatest, most sampled, most emulated dance track in history. Every 'artist' who sampled this and didn't pay up should still be breaking out checks to Strafe for this....
Facts
One of the greatest club bangers ever!
"The Principal" sent me here!
This song tore the place down in the early 80's! Forgot about it until I watched "The Principal"
@Thrillcekr Strafes SET IT OFF is an underground phenomenon still flying below the radar of the GWB Committee. Being on a small, independent label is the difference. Many early uses were unauthorized; with litigation still pending. It is the most sampled tune of all time. Thanks 4 the comment!
S/o to all my AKA's that stop what their doing when this song comes on
u mean the cerority Alpha kapa Alpha
+D Brinson *sorority and yes Alpha Kappa Alpha. The first black sorority
my moms one
💕💚
That's right Sister! 06& 80!
I love this song so much.
This song right here get you in the groove so start getting on the dance floor
Awesome. One of the best classic tunes of all time. I don't know why but though the song is from 1984, I first heard the song in 1989 because it was getting played a lot becoming popular. Hail Strafe.
Love this song from back in the day when I was a kid now I’m in my 50s wow!!
This sing had everybody on the dance floor
dis my momma jam ... she used to get down to this song ... #SoManyMemories
Hip hop music. They rocked this in all the hip hop clubs back in the day. If you don’t know your supposed to.
Going to the club's on Sat night's to dance to this and then the following night seeing Alice in Chains play.
I miss the 90s. It was a plethora of delights.
Major favorite in a lot of "gentlemen's clubs" in the late 80s and early 90s
@@ukrainiansniper5916 I don't know so much about the gentlemen clubs but it sure was at the house clubs.
So much diverse music we could mix in x yes NYC 90S x Brit grl
@Kevin McGinn That's exactly right Kevin. That's why I called this a "plethora of delights"...So many genres with brilliant sound.
My all-time favorite version of this song
We here 2023
This song gets you in the groove making me want to get on the dance Floor
Back in the late 90s after my father's pass I discovered this song through the Box, Music is my life
Ain't nothing better like the 90s
I rocked this song in my very first space shuttle.
Thank 2k15 for bring me here. Never heard the whole song till I played the game. Damn this is a great ass beat. 80's baby grew up in the 90's.
STRAFE YOUR MASTERPIECE ...FOR CENTURIES TO COME...As long as people are dancing and partying...PEOPLE WILL BE PLAYING SET IT OFF !
Grossly underrated dude is on 🔥 period and always has been.
Folk can cry all they wish...I first heard this song in 1979.
And I've been to a half of those historical night clubs born and raised lower East side... 👑☘️👑💪😁✌️
parents rocked out to this in 83 i still do
I’m 57 years old I’ve never heard this song until watching a little girl doing a slide yesterday

When I throw my cookout this year y’all all invited this jam will get anyone moving who has life in there body !!!!!
I saw him at a club back in the day. It was him and his manager , and he was signing autographs. I think the club was called Bacchus. This is a timeless set, goes with anything everywhere.

As a kid growing up in the 80's watching da movie the principal with my dad just hooked me to dis jam n haven't stopped popping n getting down to dis iconic jam!!! Joe "El Poche"Benavides from Laredo, Texas 🤙💥🔥
OMG! I was like 10 years old when this first came out....me n my boyz used to dance on subway platforms to this shit!!! oh man,cardboard mats,addidas with the FAT laces,Kangols,skateboards,big fake gold chainS! LOL old school NYC baby!
Brings back some memories from my clubbing days. Going to discos in Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island.
I love this song. I listened to it all the time on Jock Jams tape. I'm gonna have to get another one.
Love this song - brings back good memories.
Like what ? In 2023
Rick Rubin and Pharrell sent me here. You know what’s cool. Being a 40 year old man from New Zealand having no memory of this song but reading all your comments from around the world, namely America referencing your memories of growing up with this song in your lives, it’s so cool. Some of you talking about boomboxes in nyc, Florida, names of night clubs, parents stereos etc, parties. Song playing in the background as i read the comments, felt like I just jumped in a time machine sharing memories from around the world from another time. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hey I still like this jam in 2021. You get on the dance floor and you don't get off.
This song reminds me of The Fun House in the mid eighties even though I only been there once. This was considered a Fun House song.
Still a 😎 cool song 🎵. 80's #1
they always play this song at the skating ring and the old folks be jammin
80s ruled all across the board with all kinds, period
