@Dom Sansotta tbh at this time and space, breakdancing was already played out as an 80s thing. This is the 90s vibe already in fruition. Dancing was a bit chill with Bobby Brown flow, not too crazy or animated, a bit before the Soul Brothers hit the scene.

Listen carefully to his lyrical genus, score arrangement and video, best part was the way he played musical "leap frog" (I make all the money the rhymes I invent, "you" burn "me", really?) by riffin' [while apparently reppin'] all the marketing campaigns that he was spoofing . . . Cascade, Parkay etc. , I. GOT. IT. MADE. Wish today's 16 year olds would get it!

[@Joelpittman84]

Let me just clarify I’m not a fan of new age rap in any way (grew up on mid to late 90’s) but if you think this is one of the greatest lyrical songs ever made you sir are still free basing on that good crack from the 80’s 😂 you clearly are stuck in a nostalgic bubble in rap and don’t know hip hop in general

@@Joelpittman84 first of all, what's with the insults? We're strangers on the internet. You can't have a conversation without insults? Second, you said all of that without giving any explanation to prove your point, so you really said nothing. If you're going to talk like this, at least explain why you have that viewpoint.

[@edawg9962]

@Black lodge you're not gonna change my opinion, dude

[@edawg9962]

lodge those are good choices but those beats came out at least 5 years later.....I always give a lil more credit to the originators back in the 80's....remember, this beat came out in 88/89....of course other beats years down the road might sound more "hard" but they should since music is suppose to evolve....its like comparing Rakim and Tupac....rappers from 2 different eras but one was clearly influenced by the other....same thing with beats

[@edawg9962]

@Black lodge and I said ONE of the hardest beats, meaning there are others....good lord!

[@israelcastelan4012]

A lot of people neglect the fact that this was before rap/Hip-Hop blew up. These MC’s were always bragging because this a competitive activity. It’s in his lyrics. Once rap went commercial, materialism dominated and there was no need in showing lyrical skill. That’s why today’s rappers don’t need skill. That’s why they don’t have the same subject matter. All that’s left now is materialism and showing off what they possess hence all the flashy stuff. Trust, I like when rappers are humble and are about the culture, but that’s the way this music evolved. Hate most of it, but no need to act surprised by the “vulgarity”. Like my boi 2pac said, “things change and that’s the way it is”.

[@slimpickens01]

Dude this was the first rap song I was able to memorize from beginning to end

[@seanfrank32]

One of the best hip hop tracks ever.

[@johnbaxter3439]

Legendary NY flow! That’s why you guys maintain your position!

[@trishthompson8412]

Special Ed is a Hip Hop legend he should have got a Grammy back in the day. Real Hip Hop loving it still in 2024🎉❤

[@sarlndr]

Classic. The dancing in this video brings me back. Damn, I miss those days.

[@monicamorrow8046]

sarlndr Yes! KidnPlay dancing. ...love it😊

[@CodyCole80]

I thought Ed was in his twenties when this dropped. Never knew he was only 16 because he spoke articulately and had a grownup swag. Teen rappers today speak like they can barely put a sentence together.

[@syreiasneadbibbs8180]

U right about that so sad uuugghhh they barely can read sad future glad i grew up n the era i did

[@nookguy4318]

me to. i thought he was 19 or 20. He did speak very proper. this back when rappers talked completely and with a full grown sentence in interviews. Today's rappers interviews they don't even be knowing half the words.

[@lisalisa1736]

Nook Guy lol, so true.

[@nookguy4318]

Dopekid99 yeah i know.

[@nookguy4318]

Dopekid99 i didnt expect he was 16 though.

[@CulturedWhiteBoy]

[@CulturedWhiteBoy]

The greatest era of rap.

[@AnotherCG]

Real hip hop. Real hip hop dancing. Them good days are GONE

[@Reality_TV]

I can't believe how smooth rap used to be before the change! Love this!

[@TheRoom2Breathe]

That's why ppl fell in ❤️ with hip hop... Then the music changed, sex, drugs & violence became glorified. That was the end of what hip hop was originally meant to be 😭. To teach to each is what rap intended but society wants to invade, so do not walk this path that they laid it's #SelfDestruction #BoogieDownProductions

[@Militantreturns]

Its. Called have talent

[@ShephSteph2544]

Special Ed was truly gifted

[@elilutz1233]

[@tracieross9928]

Women dancing not twerking and wearing clothes. Love it. Love the 80's.

[@darealblair3262]

So true, that's why that industry was trying to eliminate it.

[@mikejejenich-pb5zx]

Its a crime. 🎤. That this guy. Isnt talked about or recognized. Enough. 👋. He contributed. To the golden era of rap the 80s and 90s.

[@LisaDavis1]

This should be required listening. You should not be allowed to graduate high school without knowing this lyrical genius.

[@gilespeterson6832]

[@realascanb222]

[@jamesgawronski1453]

It's still a classic song

[@kingp109]

I think this is one of the best lyrical songs in hip hop history I'm 40 and I love this track yo. Not a bar wasted and this came out in the late 80s.

[@moeskeetz5473]

Facts

[@marcelgob3813]

One of my favorites songs. This is or was a prime example of a young King ahead of his time. My generation rocks I'm 45 and this song still sounds dope.

[@TheRoom2Breathe]

❤yes it does

[@mctriplefatal]

I know you see people say “if your listening in 2024 your a legend!” Nah fam. If you’re listening to this at all you’re a legend. Ed is so underrated and should be talked about more. He was coming up with songs like these and producing for 2Pac at only 15. I’ve even seen the biggest rap fans barely bring him up. So it don’t matter when where or why your listening to this. If you are, your legendary

[@mariaestelamunoz6540]

DAMN!! 53 years old and still listen to this beats 🎧

[@curtisdavis5322]

Classic never gets old
