Maaaaaannn... when partying was PARTYING! Go-Go, House Music, Reggae, Boom Bap... hugged-up winding on a lady that caught your attention .

Behind nas & az Kid and play are my favorite duo. They had the whole package the haircuts the fly clothes the dance moves and the women

Oh yeah I agree

kid and play deserve all their flowers. What I respect about them the most is that they came from hard backgrounds and had rough lives. But! They still rapped about positivity and enjoying life, unlike most rappers around that point, even to this day. House Party 1990 is a classic, you can watch that movie to this day and still enjoy it. 2 & 3 tbh not so much. I did see their cartoon series on youtube, but at times I couldn't hear anything, due to the audio being so low. I wonder how a house party tv series would have been if will smith didn't reject the movie offer?

Word. You wouldn't know listening to their music that Play used to be a stick-up kid that kept a sawed-off in his sheepskin lol. That Kid 'n Play cartoon was one of the highlights of my kindergarten year. No 🧢 lol.

Much respect to Kid N Play of being one of the first pioneers of Mainstream Pop Rap.

[@jacobamoako9674]

Great stuff bro iam 29 years old but i learn with people like you

[@lamontricks1074]

Kid n Play were the first rappers I seen wearing the Jordan 3's back in 1988

[@terucks]

This had me question….. Kid N Play hot they were fun clean and cool and wasn’t criticized at all; But when MC Hammer did his thing, he got criticized for being a sell out and being too clean.

[@khingofswordz43]

My fellow Boom Bappers.....you can't front, when "Kid n' Play" first dropped "Gettin' Funky" yo, that cut was amazing. They took the "Bar Kay's (Holy Ghost)" "Bobby Byrd" & a few other samples over a hype 80's.drums made you bop your head.....like they said on a verse on that sound perfectly described them....the music "It Ain't Hardcore But It Ain't Soft"....You had a tall goofy looking mix kid with a tree stomp of a "High Top Fade". Then you had smooth debonair guy with the raspy voice. The group may not look like it would make sense.....but I can say they really did in a major way. Then you add the fact.that both could dance....now you know you in trouble.....After there success off of "House Party" movies. I remember how Rap fans was criticising them for not being hardcore & angry like there competition. But I never say them as being corny or wack.....I saw them as the fun party rappers that gave us a break off the Africentric, braggadocios, James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic, Zapp sampled Rap artist. So on that note....I want to give them there Diamond Cut Mic.... 🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤🎧🎤

'MINUTE BY MINUTE .. YO .. HOUR BY HOUR .. KID 'N PLAY .. GOT SOUL POWER .. WE GITTIN FUNKY' ..

[@bospats1]

Getting Funky’s video still stands up to this day. They had on 3’s and custom leather outfits… plus it was a block party, what else do you need. Kid killed it with the dance moves also

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

@3:55 - both of them gave a Masonic grip to the host. it's essentially where you extend the index finger along the wrist. I love when they thought they were clever . the guy with the 'fade' did it really fast into 3 other hand shake styles.

You gotta give it up for Herbie Luvbug and Wiz for putting on Salt N Pepper, gotta give it up to Salt N Pepper putting on Kid N Play.

Kid N play were like the Cosby show of rappers.

[@jayyarbrough9902]

Nah. Cosby could never make the party jump.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

@@jayyarbrough9902 you obviously don't understand my comment. It's not a literal correaltion. Cosby made em sit.. millions of em every week to watch some milque-toast programming about a Gynecologist and his superb family.

[@jayyarbrough9902]

I remember The Cosby Show and I remember Kid N Play. Cosby wasn't #1 on NBC because of street love. I'd say there was way more dancing and way less shooting back then. The irony is their music and image is too soft for posers.

[@musiclover-cn7tb]

@@jayyarbrough9902 play was a different kind of dude growing up they made party music but he admitted to doing some bad things growing up in queens.

[@jayyarbrough9902]

@@musiclover-cn7tb Most 80s rappers hid the street resume. That stuff wasn't a big part of they music. Slick Rick, BDK and Rakim had the sense to play down the rep and rely on ability and vision.

They were Funny as I don't know what in the Kwame videos too..

[@KMiles-ee1rg]

Tons of Humor they incorporated into Hip-hop music and Culture with their "House Party" Movies.

Salute

[@s.cisero928]

I don't know WHO came up with that term 😕( Giving them they flowers ) it sounds technical and completely OFF ..! Especially when in reference towards (MEN) Sounds Like your in preparation for someone's funeral. Paying HOMAGE or Giving GRATITUDE 🤔 sounds 🙏 way more HONORABLE .

[@donguapisimo4222]

It’s a figurative reference that has been around a LONG time in Hiphop. It fits perfectly. Instead of waiting until people are literally dead to have their contributions recognized posthumously, they get the “flowers” that would be placed on their grave while they’re living so they can take in the love people had for them and their accomplishments. It’s a brilliant concept.

[@s.cisero928]

@@donguapisimo4222 we can agree to disagree. I for one don't agree with the saying but that's cool 😎 👌 😒.
