Icing on the cake!!!

[@Billy-jd7ll]

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!

[@The147350]

🤘

[@TurdFerguson.]

That's N'Dea Davenport -- not just "a chick." Have some respect.

[@hegyidaniel1022]

@@TurdFerguson. i would have said "woman" 'cause i don't know her neither. I guess he didn't either. He said he's a metalhead so why would he know...

Hi Mann, wie Recht du hast! ,Lass mich dir eine kleine Geschichte erzählen: war eben 18 geworden und mit 3 Freunden im DK. Urlaub...was für ein Sommer !!! Einer der 3 war DJ.und hatte brandneu gemixte Tapes , randvoll mit young MC ,den dort noch niemand kannte ...?!? Am Strand hörten wir eine seiner Kassetten und im Handumdrehen bildete sich eine Traube um uns herum...und das ganze bekam ein Eigenleben als jemand auftauchte,der eine Monster-Musikanlage in seinem Kombi hatte und unser Tape auflegen wollte...30 min später war da ein riesen Lagerfeuer, kistenweise Bier und der halbe Strand voll Leute....wo und wie kam das alles hierher????unglaublich, was für ne Party !!!! Geilster Tag ever !!! danke

Baby girl is jammin back there! 😃😃😄

[@lmiddleman]

N'Dea Davenport, pure talent.

[@misterhappy5462]

wow...didn't recognize her.

[@tonyceeone]

That chick has that god energy ❤

[@avs_4u]

RAW no auto tune, just RAW.

[@0221serendipity]

💯! EXACTLY!

[@raywebb7501]

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

[@msmith7795]

Yup...Smooth and full of class💯

[@BlakeNix]

Absolutely

[@73lyfe96]

Omg! Nadeau Davenport?? I was today years old..

She's great! The tambourine work sells the tune! She'd make a good team with the gal from Deee-Lite!

[@ryansmurda1552]

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

[@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...

[@gaminghands4945]

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

[@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. ❤

[@bobgaide2418]

Loved this song and still do! ❤

[@rg8301]

You got married at 15? Yeah, bust it, but the math doesn't work out.

[@okay5045]

Paul Shaffer and his band were the best in the land they could play any and everything. This was live and great on all counts. Young MC was on it.

[@gatedancer17]

'Got no money and you got no car, then you got no woman, and there you are.' '....and there you are'. One of the best - and funniest - lyrics of all time.

[@ConfidencePT]

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

[@thesteelgator]

"Paul Shaffer, bust a move!" **organ solo*

[@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.

[@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

[@nicolebond3992]

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

[@MichaelTorres-b2v]

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.

[@Alexandra-ek6bb]

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

[@SVR1968]

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.

[@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

[@kareemsupremet.v.5189]

Young MC's drink champs interview is what brought me here

[@FranktheDachshund]

22 years old, killing it!

[@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

[@jenniferleon2919]

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

[@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

Legendary performance

[@treesquatch9150]

When rap was worth listening to

[@bryontharp5790]

Killer jam.

[@reamrkj1125]

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

[@michaelstauffer723]

Man how cool they play it live

[@tommiebrown8573]

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

[@willpower-rc1wq]

Mad props to Young MC straight from Queens, New York. Great interview he did with Drink Champs 2024.

[@fredsavage4925]

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

[@anns6215]

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

[@krossbowKerry]

Can’t find anything on his live background singer. She’s a powerhouse!

[@kashrex]

N'dea Davenport she sang with UK jazzfunk band The Brand New Heavies

[@Ihavetwoearsandonemouth]

​@kashrex saw the BNH at Bournemouth about 92. Couldn't believe they were playing there. I think the James Taylor Quartet were playing too. And love Young MC. Great time's

[@ascend2me]

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

[@lorettas7345]

can't believe just heard this love it

You don't realize how important that bass line is until Lee finally comes back in with it...

Still holds up as a great banger

[@chrisluckhardt]

World's Most Dangerous Band crushing it as usual. Sid, Will, Anton, and that Canadian cat from Thunder Bay.

[@JohnSmith-op1tc]

I was hoping Will Lee, who I was introduced to through my brother's Brecker Bros. Band album would have the chance to go for Bob Bassitt's bass bridge from "Scorpio," The Dennis Coffey and the Detroit Guitar Band's '71 hit, that was sampled into Young MC's recording!

So much right and nothing wrong going on in the post... Ahh, those were the days.

[@chrisroscoe7367]

Fantastic performance

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.
