MC Tunes Vs. 808 State - The Only Rhyme That Bites '99

[@bryanmower2703]

To all the kids who missed the 90's you have my condolences

[@damo1061]

Just play the music

[@jaycehudson]

Eminem who?

[@1jotun136]

And for those that missed the 80s...😢

[@sufyanlowel4631]

didn't know Sex Pistols were from 90's

Old school mate of mine

[@Phillyjoe2]

I remember buying this single from Our Price on 7" vinyl and I must have played it over 300+ times on my mum and dad's gramophone! I was 10 years old. I'm now 41 and it still sounds incredible ❤️

[@Ytnzy250]

Urah! 😁

[@Play-gl2yw]

Just play the music !

[@Tux00]

‘Gramophone’ you taking the piss? 😂😂

[@Iwishiwasflying]

@@Tux00I think old mate has been smoking to much crack 😂 His vinyl wouldn’t have worked on a gramaphone

89,90,91 what great years they were 💪💪

[@adz68]

And 92 🙂🙂

[@PeterStaniforth]

Deep Heat 89, 90, 91 the best.

[@colemarshall5366]

Met Tunesy in a club called The Banshee in Manchester about 1991. A right character and a top geezer. Mint dancer as well 😀

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

MC Tunes was brilliant and ahead of the curve, but his time at the top was disappointingly short. Massive talent.

[@shandywarhol4444]

Amen. Kx

[@Ytnzy250]

Zammo & his Trainspotting mates got him.

[@alancorbett1361]

99'? bollocks this was out in 1990 and make no fuckin mistake about it, I was workin Manchester back then, the Mancs were as mad as a box of frogs on acid. Great days!

[@ToThePointCT]

Alan Corbett that's what immediately caught my eye. NOT 1999

[@simonatford1]

Sounds exactly the same as the original to me.

[@ShawnGBR]

Yep. Saw 808 State and MC Tunes in concert (part of the Radio 1 Music Weekender) in early 1991 and everyone was rapping along to this one.

[@chuffbuffler1735]

This piece of shit killed off the "Madchester" scene. It sank like a fookin stone after this crap was released.

[@MWRent]

@@carnmarth334 Lol, of course it's the '90 version. Look at the video FFS. 😂

[@Pauldjreadman]

This is just fucking excellent. This is one of the best music collaborations. It just worked. KZbin is the savour for music videos. Got to find the album now. On the hunt we go :)

[@MarkAnslow]

Rinsing this in my 205gti.... top days... never to be repeated but never forgotten 🕺💃

[@Billcarsonstobaccobox]

I used to be in my element to this speed rap on 'speed' when it was out. Adding 808's big country sample I was like a lunatic when it came on. I'm 50 now. Am I sad or just nostalgic?

We took my car into town, I called her the beast cuz she was pretty hairy. We hit pub one and we hit it hard, there was laughing there was controversy there was ladies and of course, there was drinking. By pub four Oliver tapped out and a good thing to, I ran into her sister later that night, we went into the disables and I bumped into her again, Sam tagged along for awhile until pub 7 when I had to let her go cuz I had another date that night, and her name was amber. By pub nine peter tapped out so we had to bench him. We skipped the last three and went to the hills. And I knew from that day forward life would never get better. And u know what? It never did. -Gary king. The worlds end

MC Tunes got slagged by the know-nothing music press. This was the first REAL English hardcore rap LP. Gangsta Rap before the Compton lot, MASSIVE LP around the streets that I hang (hung ) ! FUCKING CLASSIC !!!!!!!! This ain't no fantasy, just na real kick of reality !!!!!

[@charliezobel511]

The 'Compton lot' was at it from the mid 80's. Oh and if you want proper UK hard core hip-hop look no further than Hijack who were also at it in the 80's and infinitely better than this geezer. I'm sorry but MC Tunes was utter pants which is why he had to sell out and venture in to house music to get noticed, rather than staying in the rap fraternity, fact!
