Dude shows up with a chick and a 5 dollar tambourine and puts on a performance as good as anything I’d pay money for these days. And I’m a Metalhead!

[@MK-su6eg]

The live band is rockin !!! Everyone is live ......... busting dat move!

[@ryansmurda1552]

Man, this song sounds fabulous live! IMO one of the best hip hop songs ever!

[@raywebb7501]

She’s just killin it! Endea! She’s fine like great wine!

[@msmith7795]

Yup...Smooth and full of class💯

[@BlakeNix]

Absolutely

[@avs_smart_systems]

RAW no auto tune, just RAW.

[@adampeterson5050]

That bass line !

[@ivantxucasado]

Flea wrote this bassline

[@kevinc5771]

And was paid only $200, this was a number 1 song and won a Grammy...

[@tommiebrown8573]

I can dig this I still play it as I get high high high 😊

[@willpower-rc1wq]

doing it right now

[@johnnythejeweler6096]

Tone Loc Cheeba Cheeba is a damn good song

[@lmiddleman]

N'Dea Davenport, pure talent.

[@tonyceeone]

That chick has that god energy ❤

[@rebelwithoutaclue9387]

I was thirteen when I watched this! I was making out with my girlfriend 😂. 32 years later we just celebrated our daughters 30th birthday 🤣.

[@Disco33Stu]

Wait what. That means you had her at 15..? Bro did more than make out 🤣💀

[@davidryder3374]

@@Disco33Stu Notice he didn't mention anything about his 30th anniversary.

[@bobgaide2418]

Awesome. ❤

Loved this song and still do! ❤

[@rg8301]

You got married at 15? Yeah, bust it.

[@ConfidencePT]

You can tell Young MC is having fun with this song and playing with the sound of it live.

[@gaminghands4945]

Sounds amazing and he's playing with a live band, not a DJ. So great

[@user-wg2ig6rb1t]

Great Song!

[@nicolebond3992]

Sounds great live. Song still catchy as ever. Timeless good hip hop.

[@dennisvolpe9523]

Wow awesome. I remember being in 7th grade when this came out and wishing I knew how to dance to this. That girl was killing it.

[@fredsavage4925]

Smart guy, great tune, the band was having a blast!

[@jenniferleon2919]

Love it!! High energy! Bring it back! It’s 2022!

[@brunoberardi4815]

For those who remember the song it's what we call in the business a monster a beast , to this day any party anywhere you go you hear that intro that baselines forget about it game over

[@darthneo4996]

Brand New Heavies came through.... beautiful voice mane...

[@photo2000]

you see a lot of rap artists struggle to keep up with pace of performance live.... not Young MC. He killed it. Still one of the best songs in the genre to be written and performed, iconic to this day. India was great, but would have been amazing to see Crystal Blake there performing too.

[@hunchemlnarik]

did crystal blake do the original background vocals? probably the sexiest vocals ever!!

[@jkkay477]

*N'Dea

[@Alexandra-ek6bb]

This song is still a hit at every DJ dance event I go to.

[@Spuzzmacher]

This is the only truly live hip hop performance I”ve ever seen, with every track performed completely live by a real band, no prerecorded anything. Unreal. In hindsight, YoungMC was probably the most influential musician to my musical ear. I put the first few albums on and realized, all the funky basslines I thought I came up with over the years, are all on is records. fml

[@bigbromiki1]

its’s 90% letterman’s house band but there arent really a lot of parts

[@dudezzz7386]

Legendary performance

[@SR-xk8cd]

Great live performance, and that female back up singer has got a great voice.

[@darthneo4996]

Brand New Heavies nigga...

[@pohunta]

Davenport! Delicious Vinyl

[@MikeDunn]

Different lady than the one that sings the chorus in the video.

[@TheLsduk1]

Respect to the band here 👌

[@FelipeRubio85]

I love how the bass and the guitar sound in this timeless gem!! The scene in uncle buck where this song is playing in the background is one of my favorites just because of this song.

[@anns6215]

Iconic performance and song! Fabulous then, fabulous now. Pure joy. Must be really very fun to perform, also. Love it

[@reamrkj1125]

It amazing how much changing the instrumentalists and mix changes the song. It's very different from the studio version.

[@michaeltorris5675]

With the live band too. This was amazing.

[@Blizofoz45]

The band: Ballin' Jack. The song: Found a Child. The sample: 1:45 on the track.

[@chrisroscoe7367]

Fantastic performance

[@pendriss]

The band is the best ! Anton Fig can play any song and make it sound amazing

[@jeffcrawford3798]

That band was outstanding Paul Schaefer has performed with Everyone

Outstanding! Even better with a band 🎶 lil gal stole the show! Thanks!

[@mysharyna1741]

WONDERFUL!!! I completely jammed to "this peppy little number" tonight!!! I've loved this song a long-ass time and came across this live version and it is AMAZING!!

[@ascend2me]

great song, great performance...hip hop plus soul, played with a live band...n'dea davenport is doing serious work with that tambourine...

[@michaelstauffer723]

Where's flea

It doesn’t work without Flea.

[@youteo3596]

Seriously, fleas riff made this song

[@ilovehouse888]

Used to like Young but all he does in his songs is talk about how great he is. It gets old fast. He is a one hit wonder and the rest of his albums bombed.

[@victor08rhcp]

No flea no party

[@joestahl9102]

Does he have any other songs lol

[@mariuspoppFM]

Yes, his Stone Cold Rhymin album is great

why, oh WHY does Schaffer *always* have to stick that cheesy Hammond G3 organ patch into literally *everything* ? I'm sorry, but a Hammond G3 does *NOT* belong on any hardcore hip hop or rap tracks.
