My uncle was a DJ in the 80s and his bedroom was right next to mine. Got my first taste of hip hop hearing Tommy Boy records, Gucci Crew, and Rodney O n Joe Cooley!

[@2KGrind09]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 "The bass that's in ya face..." 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@miami8089]

Rodney O and Brother Marquis had a group called "Caution Crew" back around in 1983. One of the first West Coast rap groups.

[@E-D-J]

For reals? Any of their music out there?

[@Obi-UnoKenobi]

As soon as I heard "Like That" it took me back to Rodney O. & Joe Cooley. I never knew Joe Cooley was from Compton either. I always thought L.A. It's good to see a West Coast pioneer still with us. 💪🏾 He was definitely being played in Detroit.💯

[@BoyGeorge76]

Absolute legend gets finally the respect he deserves.

[@wessleydorsey]

Everlasting Base is in my music collection baby

[@miami8089]

The Late Great DJ Cameron Paul broke Rodney O and Joe Cooley in the Bay Area back in the day. He used to mix a lot of their jams in his mixes on record/radio and in the clubs. Rodney O and Joe Cooley were huge in the Bay Area. Cameron Paul was my first introduction to these guys.

[@necolekey]

That's what up! Give this man his flowers

[@LEEDrive]

If you guys can pull off a Mantronik interview…..🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@klccostello1273]

[@thacosmoswahnted3320]

[@TheOneAboveAll-001]

OMG I got my waves because of them when they came to Da O and the tape stayed in the deck. I hope there's a part 2 to this interview.

[@javi__...]

[@miami8089]

Rodney O has been sampled many many times. Especially with the lyric "Baaasss" from Everlasting Bass and "Are you ready, Yeah!" from "Your Chance to Rock"

[@th3ronin407]

The first tape I bought as a kid from the Compton swap meet and played till it popped

[@kincamell2]

Gratitude.

[@carpediem9015]

I wanna know whether Rodney O was Parkin lot pimpin at the Ho-tro (aka: Metro club) or the Cadillac back n the day. 💐💐💐

[@savagelychill2858]

If you wanna know the origins of “Bass Music” look into groups like Mantronix, Original Concept & records like Run DMC ( Together Forever ).

[@Mooney_Da_Mayor]

Lil Flip had a classic freestyle to Everlasting Bass!! We blow indo freestyle

[@humannamanuh]

Anyone know who makes Sway's beanie?

[@comptonsmostwantedrapgroup9151]

I wonder what was Rodney & Joe's split on the royalties & publishing because if Joe was left out that would be catastrophic.

[@carpediem9015]

Rodney O & Quick need to do a DNA test. They gotta be brothers or first cousins! ❤

[@sgvproductionz2979]
