[@r.joseph8911]

98.7.....the '80s were a great decade to be a teen. Metal, Rock, & Rap made it AMAZING. Proud NYer forever!!!

[@dentpulla]

You tell no lie. Greatest rap era

[@dalemcilwain]

House & Dancehall too.

[@whizz5stephen]

When Hip Hop was our culture, and we had Respect for the blk community....When hip hop was Real.

[@sirresebethea]

Absolutely 💯💯💯💯we need to show the love and respect for one another again

[@toseefahmed2305]

We had? You mean you should always have respect for the black community

[@brooklynbred1460]

Remember this. The days when we had pride in ourselves.

[@r.joseph8911]

@Harden Thicke I hear ya barkin'...TRUTH.

[@hajiadams5407]

Classic They Even Sampled Grace Jones Slave 2 The Rythm Joint

[@DarkAries76]

Thought I'd never love a sample as much as I do with this track. They knocked it out the park with this one.

[@dentpulla]

Indeed

[@dylansparrow6169]

I don't know how I missed this in the 80's but this is🔥

[@101airbourn]

I recorded this off the radio back in '89. Still have cassette ! Great post, well done

[@dentpulla]

Wow. I still have my tape collection lol

[@bluecollarman_x]

Well produced song and video. Classic!!!

[@Fineartz770]

"I'm DJ Chuck Chillout and I'm live, you understand?" I cannot lie, Chuck was my favorite DJ. I can still remember him cutting up Grandmaster Flash's "Girls Love the way He Spins" on KISS FM so vividly. Many thanks for those good childhood memories!!

[@slammedmugen]

old-school-hiphop-tapes.blogspot.co.uk/ Knock yourself out dude..

[@marvinberry9874]

Marcus Bell - Now that was very under played. Girls love the way he spins...djs everywhere was rock'n it...those that knew anyways.

[@yisraelcoachlamont]

Mixed with under pressure

[@woabeatz9717]

Cool chuck chillout what you gonna do?😂😂😂

[@QuePasaUSA]

They sampled "Once In A Lifetime" by Talking Heads together with "Set It Off" by Strafe,cool beats!

[@joelsims98]

And threw in a little bit of Grace Jones “Slave to the Rhythm”...

[@Strategee76]

That was an ill combo.

[@erodriguez1925]

And sprinkled a little Rodney Dangerfield in there as well.

[@ailuroc7547]

Artists like these who crossed genre lines in their samples introduced me to a wider range of musical tastes, and gave me appreciation for nearly all kinds of music! Thanks for posting!

[@rayygun]

We dont get it as much now, as theres so much legislation to use samples.

[@dentpulla]

Indeed

[@marlonburden3117]

Still listening to this August 2021

[@troystoner6650]

April 2022, still bumpin' this joint. And here I thought I was the only one who remembered this. Well, in south central Pennsylvania I probably am. :P

[@jamesanderson3913]

🎤🎤 1990 High School Senior year! My joint back then and still my joint!!👍 🔥 🔥

[@chris11212]

Who remember back in the day when they scratched out Chuck Chillout name whenever they played this song on WBLS? Damn, those were the days!

[@dabanditisback]

These dudes just came into my head, they were killin' it. I was bumpin the hell out of this tape!

[@dentpulla]

Yes indeed

[@frankie134]

GOLDEN era of RAP

[@brianmooney7009]

Im 52 year old white guy from Brooklyn. This song still is the shit 😅

[@cristianosorio2487]

Yes i doe

[@tonyrod5007]

Damn, I been looking for this song for like 20 years, since the 80's. This use to be my favorite song at one point. Man, memories of my teen years. Couldnt remember the name. I always thought it was SLAVE TO THE RYTHM. Every time I tried to find it, always got Grace Jones. This is a mixture of: Talking Heads - Once In A Life Time & Strafe's SET IT OFF Both songs were hot in their time.

[@mikeofdc]

this wuz bak when emcees had skills without cussing in their lyrics.

[@rottsrule2505]

true brotha, true.

[@DaNewBishop]

Exactly

[@riverman33]

32 yrs later, I am a slave to rhythm !!!

[@liquidgold40oz]

Listening in 2024

[@terrencejackson7681]

[@anthonymurphy9233]

I loved this record when I was high in school!

[@ianthompson8248]

I used to jam this as a radio station DJ in college along with DJ Mingo Madness (who is in this video).

[@frankiefingerz8047]

I rem watchin this on video music box in 89 …better times

[@defmaster88]

Contains samples from Afrika Bambatta's "Planet Rock", Talking Heads' "Once In A Lifetime" & Grace Jones' "Slave To The Rhythm". I forgot..... "Set It Off" as well.

[@albertpringle3397]

+ERIC EPPS FOESHOW

[@defmaster88]

+Albert Pringle 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Plexpara]

+ERIC EPPS how can it sample planet rock when planet rock was just a mashup of 2 Kraftwerk songs?no planet rock (Kraftwerk) in here. www.whosampled.com/DJ-Chuck-Chillout/Rhythm-Is-the-Master/

[@defmaster88]

+Plexpara Ok...... so I missed one..... "Set It Off"..... it does sound like "Planet Rock". (the drum beat) I used to blend those records together......

[@albertpringle3397]

FOESHOW

[@smokeurobinson]

This had heavy rotation of Video Music Box back in the day. Suprised to see it in a clear form in 2015.

[@rodmills737]

This was my joint 🔥🔥they need this on Apple Music asap

[@sirresebethea]

Absolutely and iTunes💯💯💯💯

[@demetriusmcrae1375]

Classic Hip hop. This days Are Gone

[@lukejeter7]

songs like this make me feel better about living in such a bad area idk y

[@trinimami67]

Couldn't get enough of this beat back in the days, jam was hype for real but something to dance to if the DJ knew what to do with other jams that were samples of this joint.

[@eddiephillips7255]

Q

[@dentpulla]

Correct

[@AceHaBeats]

KC Flightt comes to mind

[@alexj.pereira528]

Shit. I remember bumping this back in 89 when I was only 6. R.I.P. to real music

[@FrankConquestJr]

I remember listening to this back in the club in 1989. Cool jam.

[@RockinRob69]

This shit was dope...still is! Gotta love the fades and samples all throughout this jam!

[@demetrisqwashington8814]

[@willwalker7103]

Video Music Box for life

[@mariosonicfan8312]

2:28 That part...isn't that part when you fight the Boss from Sonic Rush Adventure?

[@ccutter2]

+Mario & Sonic Fan It is. Someone pointed it out in the "Sonic Rush Adventure Boss Music" video that the lyric line in the boss music is a sample from this old music video, just very altered.

[@SparkstarScope]

crosscutter Jeez. Saying it got "very altered" is an understatement.

[@Altaquan]

This bring back so many warm memories truck jewlery Dapper Dan clothing the last time i seen Chuck Chillout he told me Kool Chip was locked up this was in 98 hopefully he home Funk master flex use to carry records for Chuck back in the day much love to these brothers HIP-HOP

[@thetriplea2003]

Back when you could sample anything with no consequences.

[@yungplex9503]

A timeless classic...

[@Koopdville1]

EVERYDAY!... video music box played this joint every single day 😂. doesn't even feel right watching this with out unc ralph's voice.

[@101airbourn]

Once in a lifetime is also sampled to devastating effect by KC Flightt in a track called Planet E

[@SMC799]

I grew up around the corner from Chuck and Chip and the video was recorded right up on Bronxwood Avenue in the Bronx. We were really proud of these two when the video came out and they stayed in the neighborhood. Chip, was always, just Chip (of course w/him being a little older than me and my girlfriends, we had crushes on him and he treated us a little sisters since he was friends with some of our older brothers:-)

[@leeving2999]

amazing sample of Once In A Lifetime by Talking Heads . This is still great over 25 years later . Edit: Grace Jones' song Slave to the Rythym is here to .

[@smoothoperator7023]

Lee Ving .....and Grace Jones - her song Slave to the Rythmn

[@leeving2999]

Smooth Operator most definitely. Grace is legend and goddess that left her own mark on music

[@cange30]

Own on vinyl and it used to bump in Philly!

[@MelchiorAkihary]

Truly ahead of its time! Nice Talking Heads sample too!

[@SKOTxFREE]

[@Chtigga]

Just discovered that song. This is good! And I wasn't even into 80's Rap to begin with.

[@djkaneck1]

Oh shit, this was a hot joint. I remember when they did shows with Mr. Rap Attack way back in the days.

[@paulvantveer6072]

Always loved this one. Popculture

[@mostyle70]

This is Real Hip Hop Rapping!

[@alpaykasal2902]

back during that golden time when we had chuck chillout and red alert on the radio at the same time, i would keep switching back and forth between station presets to see what I was missing.. Chuck Chillout loved to beatjuggle with this one for a long stretch, also Ultramagnetic.. while Red Alert did the same with Jungle Bros or BDP.

[@JayWilliams0723]

Yeah this is when music has skill and a story 2024 would neverrrr!!!!

[@usposse]
