Young MC • Bust a Move • (Live, Letterman 1990) • Stereo

[@Billy-jd7ll]

Dude shows up with a chick and a 5 dollar tambourine and puts on a performance as good as anything I’d pay money for these days. And I’m a Metalhead!

[@The147350]

🤘

[@TurdFerguson.]

That's N'Dea Davenport -- not just "a chick." Have some respect.

[@misslucky5474]

Baby girl is jammin back there! 😃😃😄

[@oct678]

her doing the running man in the back is everything

[@raywebb7501]

She’s just killin it! Endea! She’s fine like great wine!

[@msmith7795]

Yup...Smooth and full of class💯

[@BlakeNix]

Absolutely

[@ryansmurda1552]

Man, this song sounds fabulous live! IMO one of the best hip hop songs ever!

[@avs_smart_systems]

RAW no auto tune, just RAW.

[@rebelwithoutaclue9387]

I was thirteen when I watched this! I was making out with my girlfriend 😂. 32 years later we just celebrated our daughters 30th birthday 🤣.

[@Disco33Stu]

Wait what. That means you had her at 15..? Bro did more than make out 🤣💀

[@davidryder3374]

@@Disco33Stu Notice he didn't mention anything about his 30th anniversary.

[@bobgaide2418]

Awesome. ❤

[@bobgaide2418]

Loved this song and still do! ❤

[@rg8301]

You got married at 15? Yeah, bust it.

[@tonyceeone]

That chick has that god energy ❤

[@lmiddleman]

N'Dea Davenport, pure talent.

[@misterhappy5462]

wow...didn't recognize her.

[@MK-su6eg]

The live band is rockin !!! Everyone is live ......... busting dat move!

[@adampeterson5050]

That bass line !

[@ivantxucasado]

Flea wrote this bassline

[@kevinc5771]

And was paid only $200, this was a number 1 song and won a Grammy...

[@gaminghands4945]

Sounds amazing and he's playing with a live band, not a DJ. So great

[@JohnR-gk7ch]

Loved biking on my 24 speed listening to this. Great rhythm and i forgot about the leg pain.

[@photo2000]

you see a lot of rap artists struggle to keep up with pace of performance live.... not Young MC. He killed it. Still one of the best songs in the genre to be written and performed, iconic to this day. India was great, but would have been amazing to see Crystal Blake there performing too.

[@hunchemlnarik]

did crystal blake do the original background vocals? probably the sexiest vocals ever!!

[@jkkay477]

*N'Dea

[@TeeCee66]

Outstanding! Even better with a band 🎶 lil gal stole the show! Thanks!

[@Spuzzmacher]

This is the only truly live hip hop performance I”ve ever seen, with every track performed completely live by a real band, no prerecorded anything. Unreal. In hindsight, YoungMC was probably the most influential musician to my musical ear. I put the first few albums on and realized, all the funky basslines I thought I came up with over the years, are all on is records. fml

[@bigbromiki1]

its’s 90% letterman’s house band but there arent really a lot of parts

[@SR-xk8cd]

Great live performance, and that female back up singer has got a great voice.

[@darthneo4996]

Brand New Heavies nigga...

[@pohunta]

Davenport! Delicious Vinyl

[@MikeDunn]

Different lady than the one that sings the chorus in the video.

[@nicolebond3992]

Sounds great live. Song still catchy as ever. Timeless good hip hop.

[@fredsavage4925]

Smart guy, great tune, the band was having a blast!

[@kareemsupremet.v.5189]

Young MC's drink champs interview is what brought me here

[@ConfidencePT]

You can tell Young MC is having fun with this song and playing with the sound of it live.

[@djalioop]

Mad props to Young MC straight from Queens, New York. Great interview he did with Drink Champs 2024.

[@tommiebrown8573]

I can dig this I still play it as I get high high high 😊

[@willpower-rc1wq]

doing it right now

[@johnnythejeweler6096]

Tone Loc Cheeba Cheeba is a damn good song

[@brunoberardi4815]

For those who remember the song it's what we call in the business a monster a beast , to this day any party anywhere you go you hear that intro that baselines forget about it game over

[@MichaelTorres-b2v]

With the live band too. This was amazing.

[@Blizofoz45]

The band: Ballin' Jack. The song: Found a Child. The sample: 1:45 on the track.

[@darthneo4996]

Brand New Heavies came through.... beautiful voice mane...

[@styxfan4022]

Young MC now known as Old MC.

[@smithraymond09029]

"Young" is actually his last name.

[@dudezzz7386]

Legendary performance

[@pendriss]

The band is the best ! Anton Fig can play any song and make it sound amazing

[@jeffcrawford3798]

That band was outstanding Paul Schaefer has performed with Everyone

[@jenniferleon2919]

Love it!! High energy! Bring it back! It’s 2022!

[@lodrezzon]

You don't realize how important that bass line is until Lee finally comes back in with it...

[@Alexandra-ek6bb]

This song is still a hit at every DJ dance event I go to.

[@krossbowKerry]

Can’t find anything on his live background singer. She’s a powerhouse!

[@kashrex]

N'dea Davenport she sang with UK jazzfunk band The Brand New Heavies

[@dennisvolpe9523]

Wow awesome. I remember being in 7th grade when this came out and wishing I knew how to dance to this. That girl was killing it.

[@reamrkj1125]

It amazing how much changing the instrumentalists and mix changes the song. It's very different from the studio version.

[@TheLsduk1]

Respect to the band here 👌

[@andersonlimacanella2346]

Band playing like a funk 😎

[@YoniMaisel-gg8kq]

Live is so much better than lip-sync. Great job!

[@rolytnz]

That's a live set too. Dope. The performance of this on Arsenio is good as well.

[@user-wg2ig6rb1t]

Beautiful Song Yes

[@lorettas7345]

can't believe just heard this love it

[@chrisluckhardt]

World's Most Dangerous Band crushing it as usual. Sid, Will, Anton, and that Canadian cat from Thunder Bay.

[@rfarebrother]

I alwats sang this at karaoke bars back in the day.

[@anns6215]

Iconic performance and song! Fabulous then, fabulous now. Pure joy. Must be really very fun to perform, also. Love it

[@rodrigomeneses5900]

[@mysharyna1741]

WONDERFUL!!! I completely jammed to "this peppy little number" tonight!!! I've loved this song a long-ass time and came across this live version and it is AMAZING!!

[@bondedbymuzik]

Who's watching in August 2024?

[@EduardoRodriguez-rn1wc]

Great performance!

[@user-vk6ju2qf9c]

Back in 2000 some friends and me went out to kansas city and st louis to see some baseball games, we had went up in the st louis arches when we came back down there is a park right next to it and they had a stage set up and a band was doing sound check and people were packing in that park quick, turns out it was rick james putting on a free concert that we didnt even know about what a great bonus, and the show was amazing

[@michaelstauffer723]

Man how cool they play it live

[@teddyjam8134]

Man I love this. This is hip hop.

[@ascend2me]

great song, great performance...hip hop plus soul, played with a live band...n'dea davenport is doing serious work with that tambourine...

[@BlakeNix]

Yeah!

[@FelipeRubio85]

I love how the bass and the guitar sound in this timeless gem!! The scene in uncle buck where this song is playing in the background is one of my favorites just because of this song.

[@dannaphys5008]

Marvin was a regular on Howard Stern back in the day.

[@petestaint8312]

Wow! He's awesome. 👍

I want to know who the ladies are in the music video. They're gorgeous.

[@chrysryce]

Is Tony Gonzalez "DJ Laz"?

[@corettejones]

[@johnnysuede73]

Is that N’dea davenport from the brand new heavies?

[@blonieamw2998]

Paul gang

[@user-yg4yk4cc9g]

That is water 💧 👕 and hat can anyone make thoes please ❤

[@ilovehouse888]

Used to like Young but all he does in his songs is talk about how great he is. It gets old fast. He is a one hit wonder and the rest of his albums bombed.

[@russellzauner]

is it still the running man if a woman does it

[@victor08rhcp]

No flea no party

[@camselle]

In the City ladies look pretty guys tell jokes so they can seem witty..

[@kayleecutter8020]

It doesn’t work without Flea.

[@youteo3596]

Seriously, fleas riff made this song
