You know, I did not understand the appeal of this song when it was out. It just didn’t have any of the hallmarks of the stuff I was listening to at the time: No big, bombastic drum machines (as were popular at the time); no clear, repetitive basslines, etc. But as I got older, I grew to appreciate it a lot more: the understated approach to the programming & production, the vocals, that very subtle but soulful rhythm guitar… It’s all so sweet! Now I love it! Young me didn’t get it. Old me DOES!

And lets not forget that during the makings of Here We Go [Lets Rock & Roll] in 1991, C+C Music Factory copied a few lyrics from Strafe's Set It Off.

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

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.

Essa musica era muito moderna para 1984. O autor dela era um gênio. Procurei por essa música por aproximadamente 30 anos. Ouvia numa set list que gravei numa fita cassete. Não sabia o nome dela nem quem era o autor. Obrigado google por entender os meus "grunhidos".

Re: Ghandi, his racism understood, his "method the model". The result, history! An unselfish sacrifice for a "greater good". Sometimes too much history defeats the better lesson! But...it is worth the discussion. Thank you!
