It was!!! What a proud moment. This song has finally gotten the credit it deserves!

[@mhz2492]

Too bad the last two breakers didn't use it to its fullest. I used to break in the 80s, and every b-boy would try and rush in and take the floor when this track came on at the battles. You could feel the energy shift in the room.

[@George-vl4lm]

Recorded in Abbey Road Studios 1972. I had the privilege to visit the studio some 50 yrs later and I can tell you the walls are still thumping to the bassline. A rock tune who's DNA dawned an era of hip hop and b-boy culture.

I never heard this version or this video. Gee! I use to dance this song in the club in the 80s. It was always great to dance it but never knew the title. Behold, I found the other version of the video. My God I finally got to see who sings this song. The whole song is out of this world. Every time I play it at home it never gets old and it takes me to a different zone.

[@albertrosa5716]

Whenever this jam came on at the block party, park jam, or in the clubs, I'd look for the circle in the middle of the dance floor and see who wants it and toprock on the dime. This was a battle jam and it was inspirational.

[@pierrotberto6230]

All’s be break !

[@themarvelousone7415]

English rock band BABE RUTH!!! 🎉The song was written by Alan Shacklock and recorded along with the rest of the First Base album at Abbey Road Studios in the summer of 1972. Shacklock wrote the lyrics of the song as a retort to the 1960 John Wayne film The Alamo, which was full of historical inaccuracies[citation needed] and did not show the human side of the Mexican troops[citation needed] who defeated the Texian forces at the Battle of the Alamo. The song has a driving drum beat and funky bass and shows Shacklock’s fondness for African-American music and Wild West shoot outs.

Badass Janita Haan. 5 feet of pure power.

[@hilltophouse]

This is pure HIP HOP even though it didn't exist...

[@kostaskritsilas2681]

This is Progressive Rock, pure and simple. That it works as a Hip-Hop song is great, but it is straight from the Progressive Rock playbook. Take a great symphonic (in this case, a movie soundtrack from a spaghetti western written by a composer (Ennio Morricone)) piece, speed it up, add a few bits, and voila. The reason it works for hip-hop is the beat is so prominent (the drummer and bass player are just so locked in its ridiculous). On top of that foundation, add in lead guitar, synths/keyboards, and an awesome singer.

[@hilltophouse]

@@kostaskritsilas2681 That's all right what you say, but the message of my comment is, that with songs like "The Mexican", "Apache" and "Bongo Rock" from the Incredible Bongo Band, "Melting Pot" by Booker T and the MGs, "It's just begun" by the Jimmy Castor Bunch, "Give it up or turnit a loose" by James Brown to mention just a few, the whole Hip Hop Movement started in the early 70s.
