Len - Cryptik Souls Crew

[@ansiaaa]

Len deserved way more success, they are such a fun band, they spread joy!

[@mastersamurai7683]

Not sure joy equates to success but its a nice sentiment

[@shawnmccafferty7010]

Mad love to Len, they brought the fun & paid homage to the dawn of hip hop & rap all in one cool package..

[@WDBsirLocksight]

Why not any likes...? This was the crazy song yo get hyped for the night of ciphers and breaks (at least in Winnipeg) or as you're cruizing by all the slow freaks on the ski hill.

[@derekdiedricksen9170]

Whole album was great.... eclectic too.....

[@AVFCAM]

Absolute banger of an album, I don’t think there was a poor track on there.

[@stimon2344]

I don't know why people think that Len only had one good song...

[@stephencoan79]

Guilty. I thought they only had the sunshine song but this is dope.

[@stimon2344]

That's actually exactly how I feel.

[@wrightsmind]

He did, this song sucks.

[@DaveKovalComedy]

Well it's probabaly because they only had two good songs

[@bandwagonDan]

I figured this out like a week ago. The album is dope!

[@Chelskae88]

I'll never forget Len!

[@TheReviewSpace]

Len was great; they were probably the only mainstream act to release Pop, Rap, and Rock-type songs on the radio. I mean they really did try to cross various genres in their album. Miss 90s bands like them....

[@josephblanchard6248]

Until The Black Eyed Peas though. Especially with Fergie tbh.

[@interpol007]

TheReviewSpace bran van 3000

[@marccodispoti6658]

LINKIN PARK

[@themosh54]

The only argument I have to this is the Fun Lovin' Criminals definitely blended those genres during that timeframe. But yes, Len absolutely deserved more success.

[@tyschwartz172]

This is a different version than the album - different lyrics too

[@bradleystevens9833]

I knew something was off.

[@DaveKovalComedy]

I was gonna say it’s missing all the guest MCs, Moka Only, Abdominal, D-Sisive

[@MsBrynnElizabeth]

This and hot rod monster jam were / are my fav tracks on can’t stop the bum rush 24 years later I still love that album… Such an awesome point in my life (jr high / high school) and so many epic memories to go along with it.

[@1clkgtramg]

Wow, Len was actually an amazing band. You Cant Stop The Bum Rush had all there "videos" but I remember all 3 of them word for word. Maybe it's just a Canadian 1999-2000 thing, but it's hard to believe that these guys were labeled "One Hit Wonders"... but I'm Feeling Alright :)

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

Always liked this group, and how they have so much fun doing what they love.

[@Celise2012]

I NEVER get tired of this song, gets me in dance mode haha :)

[@marleynl]

U closed the 90's with the last good music after 95' time to come back after about 15 years with a good album to stirr the music industry up ! time for a change !!!!

[@primateboogaloo]

Len: "... not an imitation" Jurassic 5: Okay.

[@alm5992]

This is one of the first bands I ever got in to. Brings back memories of owning my first CD, which was this one.

[@felicitysartpalace-ui4vw]

Still listening in 2024. Yes yes!

[@mikesuh7527]

i think i saw them filming this when i was boarding. i talked to one of the guys and they said something about it being the only hip hop video on snowboards or something like that. i can't remember if it was big white or sunpeaks.

[@khalilreid]

Sunpeaks

[@RegisPPalmer]

I been listenin' to this since it came out…. still dig it big ! … You slice em up Marc !

[@kelster777]

I played the dog shit out of this CD and this song was one of my favs! Loved the video!

[@RyanWeltonMusic]

How does this not have 10M views. Jiminy Christmas, Len was awesome!

[@aaronshy472]

I remember listening to Len songs on repeat when younger.

[@danielross9566]

I didn’t even know there was a video to this track. Dope video !!

[@SmokeyDan420]

Thank you Vevo, for letting Canadians finally watch this video, (as it was filmed at Sun Peaks Resort in BC.) and for over a year no one in Canada was able to view this... thanks for fixing it...

[@GameXGod]

Mannnnnn I remember jammin to this in grade school wow

[@wingy200]

This track just showed up in my Spotify mix and I never knew they were this funky. Holy shit.

[@shiroibasketshoes]

Well, the funk comes from Tony Camillo's Bazuka's "Dynomite" samples.

[@wingy200]

[@kimatalasiawomenfighter1975]

OMFG!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS "LEN"!!! I thought Smash Mouth Made this Song. I didn't know LEN made this song. I've been searching for this song for years after I heard it in the movie called, "THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE" in the year (2001) came out. I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[@eviljedi2988]

2019 i will never let this music die

[@comabearmusic]

ALWAYS love L.E.N. this is so great. I have this album from ages ago.

[@nonamebill7421]

If I noticed that guy with the Arsenal shirt on in the video in 1999. I probably wouldn't have bought this. Grew up in a spurs family.

[@MrHOFFA10]

Len was tough. Love their flow!

[@bryanmurphy26]

I just finished watching "The Get Down" on Netflix. It reminded me of this song, which was done ver much in the get down style. if you like this song you should definitely watch " The Get Down".

[@KingKan]

And to think all I knew them for was steal my sunshine.

[@eeefox1]

YEAH MAN!! This is catchy and husky's are so cool!!

[@jayunited01]

this band is over 20 years old...applaud!!! Class tune!!

[@damianminds]

Nearly 30 now

[@darryllharden9141]

Good video and a even better tune!.

[@TheNymanator]

Did this song for an in-class lip sync battle in Grade 5. I didn't really listen to music so I had never heard this before, but the only CDs my friend had were this or the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas. We wrecked house with this song (at least, as much as ten-year-old boys can wreck house).

[@dilbertdoe601]

[@lukeskywalker1840]

Love that.....epic story.

[@vinceo66]

[@TheGroove]

The background song you are hearing is from a 1970's tune.....Dynomite from Bazuka.

[@gregd6022]

most of the melody and lyics are "bites" too late 70s, 80s rap, still a killer track.

[@brandonspain12345]

Oh, so this is the rap song that briefly played in The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle…

[@bensfish40]

Love this album, it was next to my " Garbage" the music band, Play both Groups over&over, my favorite song on this had 80's jam to it,the biz was on the album,

[@themosh54]

Special by Garbage is still one of my favorite songs

[@empressink_]

lol this shit is my jam. should've been in one of the SSX games for sure. len is so underated man.

[@thepetrockthrowback]

nice worrrrrrk...good job guys i really liked it

[@Angel-pi6ng]

A true Canadian band - even on their video they are on sleds

[@dabanksy362]

Happy New Year, nice song :)

[@t.c.bramblett617]

Keep rocking the shit .. I listen again and again

[@thequintanashow5058]

Woulda been a hit if they had more Sharon in it. NGL

[@jellyfishattack]

I love Len.

[@CaapriceTube1]

CLAAAAASSIC!!!!!!!! I was in 5th Grade when this dropped.

[@TwoBs]

... "we are the Len crew" Ah, sounds so weird to hear that. Not the lyrics I repeated when I was 12 and first bought this CD as soon as my local Disc Jockey had it in stock. I'd go around singing this song as if I was part of the Cryptik Souls Crew, having no idea who they were or what they did, but hearing this song now with the lyrics changed makes me feel ... cheated? Yeah, yeah .... "this is a different version, there's 2". I get that now, but younger me bumping this CD all through middle school and junior high only knew one. Up until now.

[@bruce92106]

Soooo.... just played an ole tune called Steal My Sunshine. Good song! Then this? Now I see what happened to Len!

[@deakenwylie3819]

Thankfully, the REAL version is on KZbin still.

[@NPGLAMB]

Great song I just found it.

[@grantcole1898]

Bullwinkle: Say, what kinda music is that? Karen: Hip Hop. Bullwinkle: Okay, but I’d still like to know what kind of music it is!

[@gregd6022]

whicked track but to ol'school at the time to "catch".. luv'd it though.. T.dot in da hoouse!

[@MrEightiesvintage]

great beat

[@KoRnyMFer]

The beat is the same, but the lyrics are completely different than the song that's on my album.

[@spiropap]

Nicholas Johnson There's two versions of the song. One is the single shown here (The Len Crew Mix) and the album version.

[@PJME]

Not sure which version I like more but like the OP, I'm definitely much more used to the album version.

20+ years later, and I'm still trying to pin down the names of the two lead rappers in this version (which I take it is referred to as the 'UK radio edit' version on other platforms).. who is 'Rockin' Mike' or 'D' (best I can tell from the lyrics)... ?

Finally ... Derek "D-Rock" MacKenzie and Planet Pea (Kudu5) ... back to your regularly scheduled Len.

@@HandSoloRecords What was Planet Pea/Kudu5's real name? Don't know much about him! I know him and Drunc (Mark McKay) were kinda brought in for the Len tour?

[@HandSoloRecords]

@@sophiemiller7004 Planet Pea's real name is Philip Rae. I think they weren't just brought in for the tour, but also for the album. They both contributed to the album, and Druncnes was also featured on the album artwork. Same with Moves and D-Rock. Hmmm, just occurred to me that Planet Pea isn't on the cover but Buck 65 is. Weird.

[@EBZero2010]

Anyone know where I can find the lyrics to this version of the song! I'm trying to write down what I hear from the video but I can't make out all the words sometimes.

new shit got nothing on these guys. they rock!

Oh cool! They made 90's music in 2011! I can't figure out why they never did better.

In 2011? This album was from 1999 and this track revolves around 1975's Bazuka's "Dynomite" samples.
