[@chillhard430]

Joe Cooley is a beast on the wheels o steel

[@m1chaelkels0]

That small but intimate crowd was lucky…they killed it! Their classic sound is so curated down and polished that it personifies “Less is More.”

[@Slugg0n]

I get the feeling that most of the people had no idea what they were witnessing. These guys can perform awesome still and they look awful healthy. Amazing to see this happened less than a year ago.

[@m1chaelkels0]

This performance is only 2 months old. They are sharing a larger set with Lowriders and artists like Mack-10. I hope they blow up in popularity and royalties now that Metro Boomin has sampled them (bastardized as it may be) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jae7q6iAiJ6HbsU

[@powderedtoastfacekillah734]

It’s good to see live scratching. Joe killing it Kick that… *_Bass_*

THAT 80S GRIP!! MY Batteries DRAINED after this track in the early 80s JVC Boom Box..

[@cleartvstreams1744]

Checked to see where this beat came from and it lead me to this Group. This as the Original sounds better than when Future & Kendrick used it but both are Dope as Hell....💯❤️

[@brandone.holmes2294]

Facts....👍🏾

[@CaughtInp]

Man I hope the boys paid these guys well, that sample is crazy!!

[@raisondetra5652]

You don't pay up front. They will make a ton of money from the sample because the song was the number 1 for 3 weeks

[@BLACKSTA361]

​@@raisondetra5652does 36 mafia make money as well or nah?

[@CaughtInp]

@@raisondetra5652that’s good to hear then 🙏🏽

[@raisondetra5652]

@@BLACKSTA361 Only if they sampled the 3-6 and Mafia version. If so, then all parties involved will receive percentage splits.

[@rompalationtrill1939]

Dope banger!

Nos anos 90 essa música explodiu 😊

[@EduardoPerez-qt2hd]

The first time I heard this song, I memorized all the lyrics. I believe it was 86 Pittsburgh, CA. The projects were called Pittsburgh Plaza, but I'm not sure if they are still around.
