[@yls_freshly]

My father is always saying this. I think this song came out when he was a freshman in college. This was his favorite song. Fast forward decades later when my father became a college professor and was and still is teaching at the Ohio State University he somehow got Mtume's phone number, called him and invited him to OSU. When Mtume arrived my father told him that Juicy Fruit was his all-time favorite song. Mtume responded, "stop lying young Brother." Don't know why he called my father young cause he was in his 40s at the time. Anyway, my father replied, "I'm serious, Juicy Fruit is my all-time favorite song." Mtume smiled a wide smile and got chocked up."

Yes 2022 and still enjoying this oldie. I discoverd this song for the first time last year along with other fabulous singers like Rick James and as an African i really appreciate the greatness of the Black community in the world. Ancestors are proud of you and please raise your vibrations as high as possible so they can notice you and communicate with you.

Amen brotha!!!!

[@1mespud]

Thank you, JAMES MTUME, for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family.

2:59 I love this part!

[@selena8948]

Me too😊

[@mtafoya1005]

Lol idk why but that's one of my favorite parts too

[@Mandingo_Warrior]

I know it’s so unique

[@rachealsilburn901]

OMG!!!! MINE TOO!!!! I KID YOU NOT I was playing this song in the car this morning as I was taking my daughter to school and kept yelling my fav part is coming up. Now that I’m back home and actually watching the video and scrolling through the comments I see that I’m not the only one. That one part hits my soul!

[@jdbruiser]

Same here, it's the defining part of the song. I first heard this song in GTA Vice City and I always feel like liberally skidding in my Banshee, Infernus or Cheetah when that part comes on.

[@alicewolfson4423]

Such a good song! Love how they name all those candies in the lyrics.

[@HizashiXevileye]

Her voice is so amazing

[@jeshun7071]

One of the biggest tracks from 1983, later revitalised by Notorious BIG, Mtume led by percussionist & producer James Mtume, with the voice of Tawatha Agree & what a winner this song was

[@elsuproso50]

In 1983, at Fort Hood, Texas, as a supply specialist with the 27th Finance Company, I recall fond memories of Specialist Cartagena, Jose, Specialist Agosto, Jose, and many other good friends.

[@andreamerino9146]

Remember listening to this in the stockade (1983) that was next to the commissary in Fort Hood. Open base back then. Good times in Killeen over the weekend landed me in the stockade.

[@Demeach]

I was a little girl when this dropped, and I never thought this song would still have legs into my teens, my twenties, my thirties, and even now!

[@plawson8577]

Released July 29,1983. In fact, Hurricane Alicia made landfall while the song was racing up the charts.

[@fungaikadzviti7609]

The most sampled song of all time

[@TheEdub1]

No. Most sampled is probably Funky Drummer by James Brown.

[@jaiharvey520]

[@bernard5427]

That dude is so slick with it isn’t he! Badass move right there, just adds to the awesomeness of the video!

[@klaus-dieterlanger5724]

[@leroyhamilton6333]

[@Ratchetbait]

3:05 did dude chew the cigarette then bring it back out and blow smoke lol

[@Nina-os4tx]

Idk... But I'm dying laughing cause that's what he look like he did!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@f.hernandez4951]

Yeah, he did it 😂😂😂😂

[@09NXN06]

Great catch! Lol

[@marchangel7462]

And he blew the smoke to the beat.

[@bainsk8]

I never seen anyone chew like that but the group I hanged with in school and myself included use to be able to turn the cigarette around and hide it in the mouth.

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

I can see my great great great grandkids bumping this in their flying cars in that rush hour sky traffic😂😂😂. This shit is timeless
