Props to those of us who were young and got to grow up in the greatest Hip Hop/ Rap era in history, the late 80s and 90s.

[@enriqueortin9104]

Finales de los 80 y 90, no es muy comprensible. Es el final de los 80, o final de los 90. O desde finales de los 80, hasta finales de los 90.😅

Early 2000s to me is when it started to fade

[@enriqueortin9104]

Marky Marc y Vanilla Ice, son los mejores exponentes y representantes de esos ritmos. Antes de ellos, no existía ni el HIP HOP ni el RAP. Estos dos grandes, lo llevaron al siguiente nivel😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 Estoy bromeando para subirle la tensión arterial, a los carrozas boomer😅😅😅

This is a song that to this day you can play in any club around the world and people will go crazy. Rest in Peace DJ E-Z Rock . He died at age 46 of a diabetic seizure.

What?? I didn’t even know. Damn

[@1975ELBRAVO]

Old school rap at its best...

[@JHR78]

Was this considered rap? Sincere question... to me this was more pop than rap. By today's standards its def not rap...but I still love it.

[@srirachanoodles6914]

@@JHR78 it is rap, because it is a certain style of rapping. It’s basically rhythmic talking and this fits that description

[@interestedbystander196]

@@JHR78 Yes, this is definitely rap. It might not quite fit the bill for hip hop, but it is most certainly rap.

[@Skytheman18]

This is a cookout song that's at every cookout

jus incase yoos need remindin....... I wanna rock right now I'm Rob Base and I came to get down I'm not internationally known But I'm known to rock the microphone Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous Stay away from me if you're contagious 'Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not the loser To be an M.C. is what I choose 'a Ladies love me, girls adore me I mean even the ones who never saw me Like the way that I rhyme at a show The reason why, man, I don't know So let's go, 'cause It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight Hit it! My name is Rob, I gotta real funky concept Listen up, 'cause I'm gonna keep you in step I got an idea That I wanna share You don't like it? So what, I don't care I'm number one, the uno, I like comp Bring all the suckers 'cause all them I'll stomp Bold and black but I won't protect All of my followers 'cause all I want is respect I'm not a doctor, put them in rapture A slick brother that can easy outfox ya Cause I'm Rob, the last name Base, yeah And on the mike, I'm known to be the freshest So let's start, it shouldn't be too hard I'm not a sucker so I don't need a bodyguard I won't fess, wear a bulletproof vest Don't smoke buddha, can't stand sess, yes It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight Hit it! The situation that the Base is in I'm kinda stingy that's why I don't wanna lend A funky rhyme to a foe or a good friend But listen up 'cause I want you to comprehend 'Cause I'm the leader, the man superior I take care of ya and then ya get wearier So just sit, my rhymes arenot counterfeit The record sells which makes this one a hit It won't hurt to listen to Red Alert Take off your shirt Make sure it don't hit the dirt I like the kids--the guys, the girls I want the ducats 'cause this is Rob Base's world I'm on a mission, ya better just listen To my rhymes 'cause I'm all about dissin' 'Cause It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight Hit it! I stand alone, don't need anyone 'Cause I'm Rob, just came ot have fun Don't need friends that act like foes 'Cause I'm Rob Base, the one who knows About things that make ya get weary Don't cheer me, just hear me Out 'cause I got the clout--shout (Ho!) Before I turn the party out I won't stutter-- Project my voice, speak clearly So you can be my choice On stage or on record Go to the Wiz and select it Take it off the rack, if it's wack put it back I like the Whopper, fuck the Big Mac If you want static, so let's go So, throw upyour hands Go for what you know Bro', I got an ego Yo, talkin' to me? No Oh 'Cause Rob is in the front, EZ Rock is on the Back up We're not soft, soyou better just slack up 'Cause I'm cool, calm just like a breeze Rock the mike with the help of EZ Rock on the set, the music plays Only cuts the records that I say It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight Hit it! All right, now, EZ Rock Now, when I count to three I want you to get busy You ready now? One, two, three, get loose now!
