Doug E Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew - Play This Only At Night (1986)

[@seanj11421]

Late 80s and ALL of the 90s was the best stretch of rap music and will never be replicated again!

[@Hibbs4Prez]

Preach!

[@JESUS--NEVER--tAPPED]

Absolute Masterpiece!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@d-townslasher7538]

Colder than any beat on the radio today in my opinion.

[@morbidious]

Use to listen to this on my walkman cassette player back in 85 when I was 14. walkin around the old hood listening deep in my thoughts. those were the days man!

"THIS IS WBLS WITH SUPER ROCKIN MR. MAGIC AND RIGHT NOW IT'S 30 DEGREES OUTSIDE SO JUST STAY INSIDE AND ROCK WITH THE COOL SOUNDS OF MARLEY MARL UP UNTIL 12 MIDNITE"...................HOW I MISS THOSE DAYS WHEN HIP HOP WAS SO NEW

[@chefjusden9194]

The best times!

[@AngelD68]

[@karimabdul-qawi6786]

My man. Pause tape ready to record the realness too!

[@coreyoliphant3268]

Had that tape deck ready miss those days

[@Robotron2084psn]

Same story, different place. I was in Harrisburg Pa area trying to tune in Lady B in Philly or Frank Ski in Baltimore.

[@Joegoog2321]

Listened to this non stop amazing track

[@blairminyard2666]

Who told you you never had stars in your eyes. This is your destiny. Rise. That was my yearbook quote in '88.

[@BHB_STL]

Translation: Let yourself go, may the spirit of rebellion guide you!

[@davidlynch307]

I was there, thx

[@Liquidmice9]

Yes! It's December 2022 I still play this song,...only at night.

[@lilroc7655]

Phantasm!!! Might be Doug's best work! Great Sample!!!

[@DONMASON45]

absolutely... I think that is his best work as well.

[@gregtanian]

Most definitely....Very creative and kept its eerieness

[@tbarfield4963]

Because they didn’t pay any sampling fees I don’t remember anything on the news or underground on the streets hip-hop anywhere about them suing him or he had to pay for the sample I think it came out in in the 80s do you know Cyprian was just you could do that, and nobody really been … I think since people was it in the hip hop back, then they didn’t mean nothing to them even if they heard it but I doubt they heard it but this joint was all over on the radio. It was a classic

[@im_jus_steve]

How you feel about ICE-T "THE TOWER"?

[@LaVonne_208]

Seal and Croft "Red Long Ago 1976" might have been Phantasm' (1979) greatest sample of the song!!!

[@christopherwilliams5800]

Phantasm movie soundtrack sample. Breeze and LL cool j battled over this beat.

[@Liquidmice9]

Takes me back to the late 80s cruising at 2 or 3am jamming tunes. Great cruising song.

[@JESUS--NEVER--tAPPED]

Yes Sir! Absolute Masterpiece! 🔥💪

[@MrAngelroc]

1986! When this classic came out. I was 17 and copping the goose coat and this playing from every other store on the strip. NY was really popping. The birthplace of Hip Hop!

[@tbarfield4963]

I was the same age it was doook dope I didn’t hear anything about him paying sibling fees cause people to hip-hop was just like whatever especially Biden nobody in a movie industry for that movie ever and would never think that is going to amount to anything and I don’t think no one heard it from the movie no one cause you know people like that Black people like whatever and hip-hop back then whatever but you write this was playing everywhere. This is so hard.

[@MrAngelroc]

@@tbarfield4963 True. 💪💪💪💪💯💯💯

[@antonioje9008]

Much respect for growing up in a place like that during the 70s & 80s

2024!! Going into 2025!!! 🔥

[@Lager212]

My friend Sean turned me onto this song. He was high listening to it in his basement. I said let's take this to the rink and skate to it. The DJ slowed it down just a bit and it was the perfect "backwards skate" song. They must have used this exclusively for about a year for that skate. Perfecto!

[@ggr.]

I love the disconnect between the album artwork and the vibe of this song. Such a spooky tune with such a friendly looking album cover.

[@MusicLover80able]

at first I didn't care much for this song but for some reason it seems to get better with age just like fine wine and it's now one of my all time favorite songs, I'm so happy I gave this song another chance, this song reminds me of listening to old school hip hop on Music Choice in the wee hours of the morning and it always gives me that 2AM vibe

[@terrencelukes6860]

I remember Kool DJ Red Alert used to end his show on 98.7 kiss fm with this song. R.I.P Kiss fm NYC

[@15steelcity]

chuck chillout mainly use this track to kick start the show. use to tape his shows alot more than red alert.

[@MrAngelroc]

1986 When I was 17 and could not miss a Red Alert and Chuck Chillout show at Kiss 98.7 and switch to Mr. magic and marly marl at 107.5 WBLS FM. Wow! Those were the days.

[@Antertainment531]

CLASS OF '86 STAND UP!!!

[@Skiman94]

I liked Chuck better than Running Red, but they were both dope. 98.7 Kiss FM forever!

[@victormiller2078]

I remember kiss.

[@kenneymccall8568]

Loved that he sampled the horor movie Phantasm theme song.

[@edwardmccormick9225]

Whoever put thumbs down on this is deaf in one ear and can't hear out the other. Wtf

[@drewchristiansen430]

DJ Cash Money played this in the beginning of his routine in 88 that won him the DMC championship

[@edwintorres5864]

Phantasm brought me here. Hope some people remember that movie.

[@MarvluzAllTheTime]

One of my all-time favorite instrumentals......

[@MrGlanderson]

They sampled this from the theme from phantasm. that was a scary ass movie. this song is classic!

[@haro82]

Technically they didn't sample it, instead they replayed it themselves. Classic track though! Yeah, I remember when they'd close out the red alert show with it too. Great times!

[@themarvconcept5903]

@@haro82- yes. Soundtrack is kinda spookie like the tubular bells on The Exorcist.

[@jshannon777]

Also Halloween

[@LaVonne_208]

Phantasm theme song sampled that themselves from an old school group called Seals and Crofts, the song is "Red Long Ago" in 1976. Phantasm came out in 1979.

[@LaVonne_208]

Ahh, no.

[@NWFmikeWilliams]

if I had the equipment and/or the skills I would kill to just hear a metal guitar version of this. I heard it in my head a minute and pictured 'boyz in the hood' as the bassline to it too

[@gfreshski]

I still only play this at night!

When the hook came in you just had to bop your head no matter what you were doing! This was the JAM!!!

I was hoping some team used this as their theme/introduction music at their home games! Good to know, bro.

[@SpiritualWorship1]

This is the song that DJ.Clark Kent used to play when he was a DJ at the club Union Square in NY, he would set the party off with this and after this song the party started jumping this was his set it off song "Union Square 1985 , 1986" very classic Hip Hop era
