[@ericbrown1988]

I was 10yrs old when this came out... I'm 45 now...I loved it then..I love it now

[@chris1pdx]

One of the most underrated, criminally forgotten cuts in rap history

[@antonmcintosh7542]

The coldest 30 second intro for a music video, tha Brothers were in a groove!

[@marielittle690]

Word.....My kids have zero idea what music is.... It's when we were coming up....

[@wingchundragon]

Same here! I was in 7th grade when this dropped

[@anthonytooson6413]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME! KEEP KEEP RISING TO THE TOP!

[@SmittyRu169]

Hell Yeah

[@jaytee1238]

This inspirational element was so large back in those days! I think that's what is missing from our culture today! The majority of what's being presented today is highly negative with no substance. You can see it in every day life now and how we treat each other! ❤💯Sorry didn't mean to preach! 😮

[@dekayjones]

Probably one of the dopest rap joints ever. How the hell is this not on Apple Music???

[@commercialrealestatecoach]

nor Spotify. something must be up with his old Label

[@antoniotaylor500]

It is now

[@billyripp]

I seen Doug E Fresh twice in the last 10 yrs, dude can still put on a show.

[@Trieisua]

I seen him in Columbus Ohio in 2022 for the 614 Summer Jam and we had so much fun 😊😊😊😊😊

[@GoodVibesNewlevel2023]

Listening in July 2024. These kids today don’t know good rap.

[@tabathacooksey6042]

This is my jams forever, New York flavor! One love my brother! I love the video forever!

[@robertfullerjr802]

Doug rocked the house in the beginning of the VID.....my favorite Doug Fresh video I was 16yrs old about to go HIP HOP crazy 1988 was a premier year for rap 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤✌

[@sirjer73]

Word, 88 is the Gold Standard!!!

[@jeffreyriley8742]

This is a "Life is going well" song.

[@SylviaKelly-e8h]

DOUGIE FRESH AND SLICK RICK WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY. BARS! 😀😀

[@mdothill4]

Still Jamming Today 2021 Classic

[@susanfit47]

This song "Keep Risin' To The Top", which was named after Keni Burke's then-obscure 1982 hit "Rising To The Top" (which has since become Burke's signature song). Doug E. Fresh's "Keep Risin' To The Top" also samples the main chorus of Heatwave's 1976 classic "Ain't No Half Steppin'," which Big Daddy Kane also sampled that same year for his song of the same name.

[@hongceequan2364]

Back in the days they were supposed to do a show in a Armory in Bed Stuy and when they pulled up Barry B got out the Limo and saw how big the crowd was outside and got back in the car and they peeled out i guess they knew hell nah them wild ass Brooklyn dude's are going to skin them alive as soon as the show was over smart move. And i met Doug and Rick several times in my life

[@C_71]

It's crazy to hear this song and remember all the words! I was in Chicago, 17 thinking I was hot shit getting street money! What a time to be alive!

[@theniceone26]

It sure was a time to be alive, I didn't have any bills, Lol. I was 13 years old in Chicago too, watching rap videos everyday with my big brother and sister.

[@russelldahustla606]

This is so legendary it gives chills listening to it

[@iveywebb]

Ikr

[@insubordinatenyctv3627]

This song still holds up one of the best rap songs I’ve ever heard 🏆

[@IceManLikeGervin]

With the dope Keni Burke sample......F-R-E-S-H!!

[@garymeacham7353]

yes dude,lovin it

[@massai821]

The beginning just cracks me up watching him do his dance; he was lit.

[@CinqueMalcolm]

88 was a crazy year for music and the fact that this track was my #1 sht for a second says a lot. I was 11 and needed that Obsession cologne, a cashmere sweater (didn't know what the fck cashmere was). Try to diss me and I'll give you a token! Sht was always fnny to me.

[@NoPawn]

You noticed that about 1988 too, right? I was in the Air Force that year and it seemed like if you had a record blowing up that year it was more than likely the thing that either put you on the map as a legend or reinforced your legendary status!

[@Brando-Chicago]

Them scratches at the beginning are crazy🔥

[@Imperiumcomics]

this beat is fresh 🔥

[@brentjames2425]

Doug e fresh

[@irishoconnell6283]

Rite on

[@Ericdagreat]

The most underrated wordsmith EVER! This song has a Spiritual touch to me. I have this song recorded on a tape when I used to record off the radio, and they would fade in this song onto Heavy D the Overweight Lover in the House, and then Eric B and Rakim’s pump up the volume, and so on when they had hip hop specials at night on the radio back in the 80s, and I was 13.

[@nakiawellington2349]

That Guess Who in the beginning was Slappin'

Those were the days, Doug E Fresh, Kool G Rap, MC Lyte, Rakim, Kane, and Public Enemy oh and KRS all my pops listened too and NWA

The golden era...

[@brothablink]

This song always bothered me because it never mentions Southside Queens Grandmaster Vic who made this the Queens Anthem in 1984.... That signature bass cut in beginning "badooomp badoomp badoomp" is from Grandmaster Vic..... IYKYK... QGTM...
