The Isley Brothers - Get Into Something (Audio)

[@unc1589]

When me and my bronx dudes debate over the first true hip hop formation era song I always pick this one. The Isley brothers never knew it but they had the one of the first true iconic hip hop party songs. We went berserk when this came on. We called it “follow me” and as soon an you heard “Did dum dum” you ran to grab a girl and hit the floor. The most exciting song ever recorded. Ron Isley drove us into a frenzy.

They just don't know. This song was the spark.

[@HoochACooch]

“Listen To Me” ! all day, everyday

I came here because I saw an interview of Cool Herc saying this is the type of music, along with James Brown songs, he was playing at his "hip-hop" parties.

[@moehammondmedia]

Zahnea what is your grandfathers name? He was in the pocket and funky .

[@zahneajohnson8569]

George Moreland was his name.

[@zahneajohnson8569]

He was a drummer for the midnight movers, Gladys knight, Isley Brothers, & Millie Jackson & a few other artist. He was my best friend. He was definitely great at his craft.

[@0sarah0911]

really? he was so talented!

[@unc1589]

Oh yeah, we needed that slow down at the end because you couldn’t just move on to the next record. We were exhausted. Yo it was magical!

[@brotherkamaal6644]

[@williamwatson1998]

one of the most underrated rhythm and blues songs in the history of music! The Isley Brothers at their best! listen to that church piano and that drum solo!

[@kaharold]

As My Uncle Shelton Would Say... THIS is The Result of Playing Your Own Instruments, Musicians Like THESE Was Hard Working Musicians Because you need the Strength, The Talent, AND The Drive to Play Like THIS..

Sitting in my room Saturday August 12th 1973 in the afternoon and heard a song from my living room. Bestowed to me was a tall stature of a man we called Clive who was Kool aka Kool DJ Herc playing a song called Skin Tight by the Ohio Players . The equipment was column speakers horns bass bottom Altec Speakers and Cerwin Vegas with the technic turn tables and echo chamber. My building 1600 shared the park with 1520 on what we know now is Hip Hop Boulevard . That day my friend Jeffrey Wyatt known as Spooky who could break dance and introduced me to the art. He yelled Akbar come on down. When I asked what’s happening he said It’s a block party. I said a block party ? What’s a block party? That day it was so many people in the field our neighborhood walking cross to bridges here in the music from University Avenue and upwards, because we lived in what we called the valley city to us to be the best side. Herc had B Boys and and B Girls battling being introduced on the microphone and echo sound coming from the echo chamber. Herc was our outlet to all sounds like hustling break dancing skating dancing and slow grinding. R and B Soul Disco Breaking beats, listening music, rap and such . He gave us a sound that personifies Hip Hop all the way until the break of dawn as him and Mc Coke la Rock known as the Father MC would say on the mic. Coke along with the Father of Hip Hop Kool Herc with a Base in your face and the hi’s in your eyes.. This Transcended world wide and crossed all points of the world and became a Global Phenomenon . Hip Hop Stories Akbar aka Ak la Rock

My brother used to play this and my mother, brothers and me start dancing, it was awesome! I miss those days

[@josephlipscomb658]

Major partying to this song in the early 70's. You had to rest when it was over. No strength left. One of their semi forgotten uptempo gems. I think a party song masterpiece.

[@danielburns987]

[@unc1589]

When this song played at a party ( guy’s I am not lying or hyping is any way. I’m being very serious’) it was like The Holy Ghost fell upon us! The tension buildup was almost unbearable. By the time the drum break came everybody in the bronx party were sweating like pigs.
