Newcleus - Jam On It 1984

[@capitalcustoms8037]

Im 53, a grandfather of 6, and former "B-BOY" from Harlem. Original member of The Apache Kings, Zulu Nation (Ch.12/13) and I can still get down. Electric Boogie and all. I might not do well with head spins, but I can hold my own. I can smell the cardboard or linoleum as we lay down our craft. Each and everyone of us had a special move that we coveted. I remember going to different hoods to battle, the parties in the park at night. Growing up in the 80's was a very special time and Im proud to have been a part of it. I am a hip Hop Pioneer as well.

You really don't have no idea! I don't say that to be mean, it's just the facts. I mean through a weekend I would have probably eaten like probably 4 tabs (XTC), 2 each night n when the sun come up I would eat blotter acid most of the time n liquid sometimes usually in a McCormack food coloring bottle n taste like Everclear or Tiquila. You definitely want it cut already if you careless. Might not ever come back. For real I can't explain to you how it was n I miss it kinda. The music especially n the memories I have some I don't know how or why but...... Anyway look up New Beat as a genre of music originally started in Belgium n not Germany but the music CROSSED OVER the invisible devide that even though not official New Beat from Belgium it was n is hard core mostly n it was still good but it was different from Belgium but still very good. That is when the tabs blew up like crazy 4 ways for 10 dollars. 4 people could get fucked up for real n not just a little bit either for $2.50 cents n roll balls all night long with your eyeballs in the back of your head. Those that understand understand. Boy a whole lot of people missed the fuck out on that shit. Just saying Brian M.

@@ttllymxico Uuuh, I was there. The first rap HIT (not first rap song) by the Sugar Hill Gang in 1979 used Chic’s “Good Times” as its music. Only a few rappers sampled. Now, most rappers and some pop acts sample pop music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Hell, even this new Asian pop singer gets his entire beat from Rene’ and Angela (early 80s). It’s a compliment…I just hope they properly credit the writers/owners of the original music.

The best dancer I ever saw wore a mask and we never saw his face, but he was built like a gymnast.

The next morning I asked how old he was. Guessing 35 but I was wrong he was 25. I often get mistaken for younger. But he freaked out. I didn't hear back from him. If the whole club thinks I'm younger since getting into clubs. Like what a wimp he ghosted me. I wanted to pick his mind on all computerized day job things. Nope. I barely was into the after party but their set was exceptional. This club was La Cage, Jeffrey Dahmers old stalking grounds. I could have lied about my age, but I'm a 1978 Vintage model.
