[@JustbeingCed]

They were clean as hell and still gave a great performance

[@kirkmartin8027]

Seriously what happened to live performances like this. This needs to come back.

[@9577frasier]

We got megan and cardi b twerking now, thats the best our community can do

According to Kid. Gangster Rap was the killer.

[@Triple10101]

This generation can't do it!!!!

Don't forget about Chris Brown and Bruno Mars

These brothas were a vibe back then. House Party blew them up

[@sirdavione6865]

Still more entertaining than any rapper today.

[@blindbeautyblindgirlmagic3166]

I was born and raised in DC, so when this song came out I loved it because it had the gogo sound to it and I loved it instantly

[@reginaldandrews4002]

I'm from NYC, but that gogo groove was definitely hot for a while back in the day!!

[@SeanWhite07]

DC stand up!!💯

[@terucks]

exactly that GO GO Vibration!

[@kimmonet3029]

DC Chocolate City!! Home of the GoGo Beat! This joint definitely has it!!✅

[@thedarksideoftheforce6658]

They made several go go songs and Salt n peppa also.

[@Lillyxxxo]

I loved when they did this dance. I had the shoes and out fit . I thought I was the shit . LOL

[@edisons.7637]

My god, when House Party came out, I was JOCKIN those dance moves. I think we all were. It was mad impressive.

[@leonwhitted5662]

True iconic rap legends. Who can forget the video for this song with Salt and Pepper along with Queen Latifah and the hype trendy gear. Most of the Kid and Play step that is still being done today!!

[@dailray4933]

Kid and play did they thang the audience gave them so much hype

[@smae61]

[@pettierobinson5286]

One of them is dead

[@trytrading4103]

They made rap fun. I grew up with the music they made. This was the days when you could dance to rap.

[@ledellwatts]

They ROCKED THAT!!!

[@MERTIE123]

This was when rap duos were real 🔥

[@WanderingWarriorOfFaith777]

Great song and dance. Legendary performance. The "Live" version is definitely better than the original recording.

[@OntarioAndrews415]

This ....1989, was great. A long, long, long time of good memories from these two. And they dress up. No baggy pants, ton of bling.

[@oloatis2182]

Their pants are literally baggy what you talking about

[@mareelovely]

The thing about Kid n Play is they are real friends in real life. Before they formed a group they worked regular jobs together. The vibe, the brotherhood that exudes from them is real and organic. And it's there to this very day. Even their iconic dance is a symbol of friendship.

[@kitkompo]

i’ve always wondered where hip hop would be today if gangster rap had not become part of pop culture.

[@grumpyazzkatt9969]

That was a great performance!

[@thatshim4724]

Kid N Play had the late 80’s early 90’s on lock… I mean these guys were everywhere

[@andreamanning1257]

The energy they had to dance like that while rapping is exceptional

[@CJ_7519]

It's hard to believe that they're in their early 60's now.

[@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302]

Ikr I seen them at a concert last summer it was so weird seeing them moving and dancing slow. 😂 they still killed it/put on a good show.

[@sanman6102]

I knew these guys in HS and they were very good at performing. There first group was called the Turnout Brothers.

[@Meme-gb8ov]

People were so dope back then and had fun.. I was a kid but I remember. Nowadays 🙄😳

[@mrhoffame]

Pretty much any hip hop album where the artist were SMILING on the cover......is GOLDEN!!!!!!!

[@Skinnychelle48]

I was listening to this tonight while working out on my rebounder. Played this for my 11 year old grandson and he lovvvvved it!

The best hiphop/dance act of their time

[@B1ack1ceCollectibles]

Amazing performance!!!

[@XavierCoolDude]

Fell in love with hip hop/rnb in late 80s right around this time. White kid who listened to rock up until then. So many incredible artist and songs from this era. I had a Kid N t shirt from Cowtown, NJ. They were one of my favorite groups-I taped all their videos

They used to be my favorite rap group back then. The music is so fun and at the same time , it had us on the dance floor in the clubs. As soon as we heard the first beat, everybody jumped on the dance floor! Gosh, to be young…I miss the feeling and excitement music brought me back in the day! Ahhh
