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.

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).

I'm 53 and loved the breakdancing era. I was so excited with this new dance, hi-fi, zx spectrum, and clubbing it. Best years of my life. I couldn't breakdance as it took a crew, the stereo and the right environment. I had one or two people who knew how to body Pop but nowhere near this level. I guess my skill was recording and sampling. As I say, i needed the right crew to excel in this. Thank God for the 80's so awesome!! But still, the memories were awesome

People got along & you didn’t have to worry about being woke or politically correct. No unisex bathrooms or people identifying themselves by using pronouns. You were a guy or a girl & if you were gay, no problem. The music of that time brought all kinds of people together.

Man listen. I was born in 71' and grew up in the 80's. I'm GenX and I means to tell you that growing up during Hip-Hop's inception along with popping and break dancing was some of the best fun of my childhood. If you're a generation, or generations after me then you missed a lot and fortunately we have video and movies for nostalgia. Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of hip-hop and really good gritty rap so I loved the 90's and much of the 2000's. Even as I type this in 2024 there are still some really good artist out there...even some underground rappers such as Vin Jay, Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled, Apathy and a whole host of others.

[@teknul89]

That’s cool I’m from the generation after you Generation Millennials so I grew up with all of those 90's Rappers and those after but I also likes to listen to the rappers from the 80's like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Grandmaster Flash, Too Short, Afrika Bambaataa, LL Cool J, MC Hammer, Kool Moe Dee, KRS-One, Slick Rick, Biz Markie, Treach, Kool G Rap, Egyptian Lover, Marley Marl

[@MHiggs-rx5zz]

The East Coast was acrobatic breakdancing and the LA scene was Poppin & Lockin. Back in the 80s, I was too young to understand the difference between the two, but as an adult looking back on those years, I now recognize the contribution that both coasts have made for the culture.

This song changed my life. I just switched schools in grade 9. Last year of junior high. I had had some problems with depression and I had started drinking in grade 6. I was nervous. My first day. Came out of the bathroom and was walking towards the common area where all the kids were waiting and I could hear a beat. It was loud. I looked and it was a girl I knew from my previous school holding a ghetto blaster and she was blasting this song. I had never heard anything like it before. I walked up to her and said hello. We were inseparable that day forward. Hip hop gave me something to look forward to. Going to break dancing competitions and really getting into the whole scene. My life completely changed after that. The 80’s were so fun I can’t even put it into words to describe it properly. It was so new... the music etc. It was an exciting time to be a teenager.
