Newcleus - Jam On It

This is whole tree for me. Miss me with that soundcloud fruity hair dye modern stuff.

[@patricksterbeatz]

These jams are amazing. This has always been one of my favorite songs. Jafakins and Lie-tinos are really delusional and out of their minds to really believe that they helped us create hip hop. Hip hop is 100% a Foundational Black American creation.

[@johnharris3335]

Great song! And no killing or drugs or thug BS!

[@GenXstacker]

Uh...old school hip hop was the greatest. This is what we were break dancing to in the mid-80s and for my money it's still better than 99.9% of the rap music that came out in the last 40 years. This song still gets my old body out of a chair and dancing in 2024.

[@BigMoneySonny]

We keeping that same energy!!!!

[@frankhunter6768]

One of the most historical bass lines ever

[@jasonwalker9126]

Absolutely. Pretty much anytime I install new new stereo equipment in a vehicle, four wheeler, or whatever I always go to this “to check out the sound, check out the sound” great all around sound. Lows, mids, and highs. That’s actually what I’m doing now. Just put new 2 kicker 8s, 6 1/2s and tweeters on my 13 year olds 4 wheeler. And it sounds good

[@jpbrennan72]

Played by a real bassist not midi!! R.I.P Chilly B 😢

Unfortunately it wasn’t done with a guitar as depicted in this video it was actually done by a analog synthesizer Roland had a product called bass line that would do the same stuff 🤔💯⚠️

Impossible, to make this type of music you need to have talent, skill, heart, and soul, and be a master and lover of your craft. Something today's so called musicians rarely and barely have.

My fam came from BK, NYC by way of Puerto Rico and we used to get down to this at my uncle's apartment in Red Bank New Jersey. It was dope then and still dope this day!

I was 15 in 1983. It was a tumultuous time for me, I was put in foster care, and kind of lost in life. I had a friend, Bettina, and her and I had a piece of cardboard, her huge boombox, and we went to all the local breakdance contests, we would lay our cardboard everywhere we went, do windmills and spins and pop locks, and it was the one thing that helped me through those really tough years. The 80's memories stir strange feelings for me, but this reminds me of what was good back then. I wish kids did this these days instead of ipads, lol ☺️ im so happy to have found this. 🌎

[@tadpolesoup]

Yes. I remember hearing that iconic bass line for the first time sometime in 7th grade, and being immediately hooked…

[@tadpolesoup]

I also remember hearing several songs on the radio during that time with nearly identical bass lines to Jam On It-close enough to know where they were derived from but different enough to not be an exact copy. But I haven't heard them since and don't know who the artists were…

They were very popular in the UK among youngsters in the know about these fantastic tunes coming out of NYC. While others were into Duran Duran and Wham!, we were into Newcleus, Bambaataa, Davy DMX, Run DMC, etc.

Waaaaayyyyyyu ahead of their time. Early-on, Hip-hop had a lot of inspiration from German electronic music-Kraftwerk in particular and a lot of that instrumentation found its way into hip-hop.
