THE MOST AMAZING GROUND BREAKING TRACK . How amazing was this 80s B-Boys?

[@RobertoGinsburg]

@Chris Funky i think that "Looking For the Perfect Beat" is more impressive

[@rosalindtoulson4024]

Fun times and fun doing this song

[@DarrenDelaneyMcDel]

WoW . Like taking a step back in time to the good old hood hip hop beat street break dance days .. 😎

[@shedbuiltracing7509]

I had this on a sketchy old tape back in the day and played it in my walkman until the tape died. Never new who it was or the song title. Finally found it.

[@malcolmsanders7607]

A masterpiece ❤️😁

[@michaelferto8496]

....I heard this on the radio today ..I danced like when this first came out, while watching the about six o'clock news naked....I just took a shower and cooled off, and I thought that this beat was worth sweating over again....Was and is one of the best of that time....

[@robertnelsonjr4170]

I first heard this song on a compilation album called electric breakdance

There was amazing music in the 1980s but only one Tommy Boy label! Peace.

[@theplaylabchicago]

Happy birthday John aka MC GLOBE! You don't get enough credit for the classics you pioneered! Love you and wish you the best always! You are the True Legend and innovator! Blessings always! Mad love from the Chi to the BX!

[@jamescherenfant4852]

Classic!!

[@VBaskin2010]

This was the official birth of the "Tommy Boy Recordings" sound!

[@RobertoGinsburg]

@Vaughn Baskin The fact is that "sound" has changed depends of the artist vision and the time. "Planet Rock" (beginning of 1982) defined huge part of the 1st clearly Hip Hop sound in the early 80s (along "Sucker MCs" on Profile records).. but remember that Electro hop sound cames from the tándem Baker-Robie-Jonzun.

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

I have to disagree

[@Red_AIert]

Master mix those number one tunes. 🔥

[@RobertoGinsburg]

Tommy Boy is one of the most relevant labels on Hip Hop history: Bambaataa, Soulsonic Force, Jonzun Crew, Keith Le Blanc, Fresh Gordon, Force MD's, Stetsasonics, Paris, De La Soul, Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Digital Underground (the root of Tupac), Naughty By Nature, House Of Pain, K7, Total..

Tommy Boy did De La Soul dirty though selling their music not paying them....
