These cats not only rhymed and syncopated, but they harmonised, sang, skatted, ad libbed, dropped punchlines and styled and profiled all in the same track. The cats of today can't never do what these guys did dropping 7,8, 9 and 10 minute masterpieces.

i remember listening to this in the 80s when it came out, in my state there wasnt a rap section in the music store and i was only about 9 years old so i didnt go out shopping lol my mom brought me to k mart to buy a toy and i took her to the music section to buy Herbie Hancock album so i could breakdance to "rock it" . rap music didnt really have a name yet....id go to the record section and couldnt find any rap music. some states wouldnt even sell rap records, if you lived in a city then you could find rap records only at record stores. my mom and dad didnt really shop at record stores lol they shopped at k mart. but luckily we had a black radio station KMOJ 89.9 that had a rap show "Travi-trons hip hop shop" and for a few hours they played NEW rap music and i found music to my ears RUN DMC MELLE MEL FAT BOYS LL COOL J. ...this was one of the first songs i heard on the radio station i recorded it and had it on tape for years till i lost it in storage. but yeah to this day i still bump this song ....over 30 years ago. 42 year old B BOY 4 LIFE!!!
