Theres something so magical about early 80s rap/hip hop, its all just so happy. No singing about crime or drugs or women, no its just a bunch of guys spinning around on their backs seeing who can do it better then the other
That synthline literally defines the '80s for me. I wasn't there but.. thankyou to Vice City for ensuring I grew up to be an '80s kid, even if I was a little too late to the party.

When I get my wand I'm off to re-live the 80's < simply the best... if you know, you know!! Whilst listening, I just mixed this gem (in my head) with 'The Crown' 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃
Back in the day when rap was fun, there was variation in the rapper's voice and the music is so funky and great to breakdance to, this song defines the kind of rap/hip-hop I like, great song!!! :) This kind of rap needs to come back bring the fun back in to rap as well as the great synth funk music with it and breakdancers along the lines of The Rocksteady Crew!
i still get the vinyl of this hit my brother bought it in 1982 !! And i remember when we were little we made a little band with my brother and my sister trying to play this song with invisible instrument, so mythic !! We were listening to this everyday in the morning on a vinyl player !! i feel sad of grewing and being so far from the 80's... But... Good old days never die...:)
BDP literally sat with an array of guns and weapons on the front cover of Criminal Minded in 86. Public Enemy rapped about "My Uzi Weighs A Ton" and KRS-One held an Uzi on the cover of By All Means Necessary both in '87. All three of these were Incredibly important, conscious, politically charged hip hop albums from the 80's. Guns don't automatically make it worse or....I don't even know what you're suggesting.
What about Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five’s “The Message?” Though gritty, that video was a large size budget and it came out in the summer of 82”. “Magics Wand” video came out at the end of 1982 (in 82”, only BET and USA’s Niteflite played this video since NY Hot Tracks came out the following year, and MTV didn’t play black American musicians at this time, especially rap and funk).
I did know this until the other day but Thomas Dolby had produced this classic track back in the early 80's and was also the keyboard player on Belinda Carlisle's first hit, 'Heaven is a place on earth'.
I’m so damn that they repost this video I remember back in the fall of 1982 when this song came out and I use to go to the Disco Fever in the Bronx NY and DJ Junebug use to spin the hell out this record and you can’t forget about Mr. Magic’s Rap Attack on 107.5 WBLS with Marley Marl the good old days growing up in NYC R.I.P. to John Rivas aka Mr.Magic and John Fletcher aka Ecstasy.
Seriously, this has more groove to it than the shit they call "rap" nowdays where's just about bitches, hoes, money and bling bling and pretending gangster is a desirable career choice. Ugh. Nah, man. Old School Rap all the way!

Grand Master Flash's "The Message"?
That synthline literally defines the '80s for me. I wasn't there but.. thankyou to Vice City for ensuring I grew up to be an '80s kid, even if I was a little too late to the party.
It was played by Thomas Dolby, a new wave artist best known for his hit "She Blinded Me With Science".
@@tobietera That's Professor Thomas Dolby.

We all were a little late but never unwelcomed.
Haha it’s great isn’t it lol 😂
R.I.P Mr. Magic and Ecstasy 🙏🏾🎤
Yes. Missed
Mr. Magic died? I didn't know that
@@blueskyy43 that sucks I too didn't know but hey perks of being born in 03 is that I still have access to find grooves like this and many others.
“ it was big fun while it lasted “ loved the early eighties- pre crack world
"They would jam every weekend at the neighborhood centah!" Such amazing delivery, such funky music, extremely underrated group.
It's just a bunch of guys dancing at J.C Penny, but I'll be damned if it isn't one of the best raps of all time💎
The "dancing at J.C. Penny" did it for me! 😂😂 Thank you...this comment made my day!
We always dance in front of K Mart
So 80s
And maybe one of the best CZcams comments :)
I agree with that
If ever there was a time machine, I'd go straight back to the 80s, what an unforgettable era that was.....
Crack, aids, gangbangin n Reagan administration..yea u can keep it
R.I.P exstacy , you was a pioneer man. The foundation!!!
Man now this is the real true rap not like the mumble rappers of today
yes!
Thanks for entertaining us while driving in 🔥Gta Vice City 🔥
R.I.P. Mr. Magic.
😭
What a golden time for rap...so good.
And men and women looked fit and just pure swagger
@assiabenslimane2589 I agree. Not nearly as many over weight people back then.
My God, how did the world become such a sadder place? Really miss this world 😭😭🇧🇷
Ditto!!!!! Tragic how things have become....
Stay safe 👊😎 big love from the UK 🇬🇧
You must have forgotten the constant threat of nuclear war, are you sure you were alive back then?
@@timmturner I guess coz we were kids we didn't think about nuclear war too much. Well... I did, but it didn't bother like it did the adults. 😁

love the message of this song
Vice City's Wildstyle FM revealed this song to me😍😍😍
=))
Me too
Gta Vice City memories. Cruising through Little Haiti in a Voodoo at 11:30, jamming to this beat.
Produced by Thomas Dolby with samples of his track "Puppet Theatre" . Great fun.
czcams.com/video/rlyCzgQf-rs/video.html
It doesn't sample it.
Played this on V-103 in Atlanta back in the day! Heavy rotation!
This song takes me back to the good days when life was simple!
John Fletcher "Ectasy" was just 18 in this music video!
Who's that
WoW
This was the early 80s, and they were rapping about the origins of Hip Hop. I use to hear Mr. Magic on the radio when i was 11 back then.
The perfect 80s party song.
And what if I said I assassinated President Kimball.
@@angushoffs1380 i killed him on my last fallout new vegas game.
@@franciscoprazzio225prazzio Okay then. To each their own.

pioneer of rap
I remember watching this as a kid in New York! Proud to see how far Hip-Hop has come since then!
Damn... unbelievable that this joint is about to be 40...
Tears of joy when I heard this song in 2023 ❤
I was born in 1982 thanks for this!!!! Thanks Rap!!!
When rap was fun
To me this is the best rap Trak ever
No Guns, swimwear or swearing, just good fun rap like we had back then. I'm glad to be 50 (almost)
Paul Schlote so true man how rap has changed
I wish you another 50 bro
Do you curse?
Cause if you do, why would you want our art not to be able to embody our anger. Not sure Black anger needs to be pacified.
There's room for both kinds of rap.
There has been cursing, guns and girls in hip hop since the mid 80's.
Gotta love the 80's
I love these times I'll always remember this type of music forever
Me too man, I miss this 😢
Hip Hop Classics plays this all the time . Super underrated classic . Didn'r even know a video was out
I think this, came out in 1982, if I'm correct. I love this song. My sophomore year of high-school. What memories.
Yes, late 1982.
Así es, 1982
It's such a wholesome music video.
When I get my wand I'm off to re-live the 80's < simply the best... if you know, you know!!

Ich habe die Vinyl auch noch 12" Maxi, das ist ein unvergängliches Vergnügen und immer wieder Top der Song ! :-)
@@djscratchin1345 - That is fucking terrible. The vocal is horribly out of sync with the backing. It sounds horrible
And not a gun in sight
Hip Hop at its best
These are 80s black guys not 90s black guys 😂😂😂

the message came out same year and mentions guns , foo’
im 30 years old and i love this shit and my 90s and 00s and early 2010s fuck that bull shit that playing now
@@tobietera please tell these goofy MF's!!
This gets me every time, that bass.
Nice music and video..@brianne in USA
Now who can rock a video like this in a random office lobby?? The simplicity's giving me a rap attack lol
This was the first properly directed and produced rap video. I thought Magic's wand was before the message

One of the first Rap/Hip Hop videos from one of the Greatest Rap Groups of All Time.RIP Ecstasy.
Yaaassss 👌
Vice city nostalgic
Thomas Dolby playing synths.

Yup Wildstyle pirate radio 📻
Yeah man
I did know this until the other day but Thomas Dolby had produced this classic track back in the early 80's and was also the keyboard player on Belinda Carlisle's first hit, 'Heaven is a place on earth'.
Didn't know that either but now I hear the _She Blinded Me With Science_ similarity!
@@NostalgiCrazy me too now .
When you thought it was a bad connection or MPEG glitch.. Nope! Early '80s video editing... So far ahead of its time.
This was the music video that started it all!
Do you know how dope this was in 82🤯🤯🤯
Love the fashion in this clip
the real hip-hop rap 🔥💣
This was the first song 🎵 I ever learnt to bodywork to. Great memories. Thanks 4 posting this classic 👌.
RIP John Fletcher aka Ecstasy....Dead at 56...too young.
Should have a billion views
Classic in the 80s classic now
Thanks GTA
Peaceful journey see you on the other side 🙏😢🙏
RIP John Fletcher 😭🙏🏾
Thank you Whodini! This is the song that introduced me to rap!!!
RIP ECSTACY
I just introduced my 10 month old grandson to Whoudini. This video stopped his crying, he really enjoyed it!! The kid has good taste!!
I remember seeing this video on Night Flight on USA network
I remember when Mr Magic dropped this on the radio. Aslo i think a dj on 92ktu was a video host on tv.
I was 3 when this song came out and yes I was dancing to this
@stylez561wpbrivierabeachda7 no I'm 40 going on 41
