Its original snap in fact, its under the name of POWER JAM (SEARCH) ft Chill Rob G. The men behind Power Jam is actually the men behind Snap: Michael Münzing (Benito Benites) & Luca Anzilotti (John Virgo Garrett III). Actual song you listening to is combined by Mantronix - King Of Beats (rhythm), Jocelyn Brown - Love Gonna Get You (Vocal Hooks) and Chill Rob G - Let The Words Flow (Rap). They first release this song, but due to copyright issues with Chill Rob G, the Germans decide to redo the song with own rapper - Turbo B and "I've Got the Power" vocal hook from someone else (There's a rare records without Jocelyn's hook) Anyway the most of the releases are with her hook.
you are right. power jam - the power is if you want the answer for all the people who dont know who made that song its a snap song and under the name "power jam" ,snap released this song ofiicially with rob g as rapper first rob g dont want his rap on the track from snap but then he realised he can make money and try to release the song under his name but failed casue its not his song. so he contact the 2 from snap and tehy made this song officially under the name "power jam" but it IS a snap song
@@Plexpara That changes nothing about the fact that chill rob g's delivery and rhyme pisses from dizzying heights on that turbo b mumbling. This man is a poet.
snap made this song.rob g even got their names as producer on his album mentioned Virgo Garrett III and Benito Benites. thats the 2 producers from snap
We've all played his music I had crates I was a DJ working clubs in Manhattan Brooklyn and the Bronx straight up we all play this music because we're oldies well I am I'm an old tea 58 and still admire his music that was very very young when this came out and I couldn't wait to go and buy two of these finals 12 in for my SLB 210 get my numark mixer set to do what I needed to do crossfaded spun records behind my back that's the error I came from two DJs four turntables working in sync together to bump this music in the club I miss it all I want to do it again for one more time before I throw my gloves in and retire the scratch pad is not for me too much work but not enough for the same time. Peace
Chill Rob G is the real deal. Released a later album that was super under the radar, too underrated. Used to listen to it in the car all the time back in the day but I can’t find it anywhere anymore. He was still in top form.
I'm 58 years old I see all these comments out there did any of y'all really be there and listen to what he was saying cuz you're still going through the same thing at a different rate and God bless the ones to pay attention !
Thank you for posting this. I have been looking (not actively) for this track since the mid-90's when I heard it on the radio one time! I didn't know the story behind it.
Wowwww 😲 I haven't heard this version since '91 rollin the streets of Orlando after midnight when 102 Jamz played this as the 'Mix' to Snap's I Got the Power, right before the movie 'The Perfect Weapon' came out with Jeff Speakman----featuring the same Snap song.
From what I overstand, Chill Rob G made a song in 87 called "Let the Words Flow". In 1990, the two producers of Snap took the acapella, put it over their beat and released it as "Power Jam". Chill Rob wasn't having that. After a copyright dispute started up, Snap went and found new ppl to record over the beat. That's where you get "I Got The Power" with Turbo B, which blew up. Afterwards, Chill Rob G linked with them and they all agreed to once again use this beat, this time for his song, "The Power".
Is anybody really listening to the lyrics I read the replies and some comments that's why we cannot stabilize ourselves as blacks and unite as Latinos and unite it's all nationalities who are oppressed there's a message in this music and those lyrics it's more than dancing to music and lyrics it's paying attention to what it's telling you it's always going to tell you something right most lyrical artist send the right message it just has to be read the proper way God bless my brothers and sisters and peace always remember it's in your mind how you want to make things happen or how you don't want them to happen it's getting kind of hectic
you can chill.its not a cover its a snap song producers are virgo garrett III and benito benites the 2 guys from snap.they are even mentioned on rob g's album for the song. everyone who say its stoled dont know about the song.you can read everything on wiki
This is still made by Snap!!! Thats the first version of the Song. Snap used rob g's rappin from another Song as sample here. But the song is made by Snap. Rob g had first a Problem with that so snap used rapper Turbo b. and made a second version with Turbo. But then rob changed his mind. And they made another (like 3 version) of the Song extra for the US Marked, under the Name "power jam" This time again with rob g as Rapper. But ALL Versions were made by the Snap Producers.
@dabanditisback it's not an ed lover beat(it's just famous for being used on yo mtv raps today, because ed lover made a dance off of it,lol), it's the 900 number by mark the 45 king, who also composed " The Power", and it's instrumental(which is sampled from matronix's - king of beats.
Snap is basically two white German music producer/remixers who came across this original version by CRG and plagiarized (read: stole) most of it., with CRG promptly suing in court. Turbo-B and Penny Ford are essentially hired performers under contract to SNAP.
We may question Snap!'s talent had they only achieved success covering this great Chill Rob G track. Their 1992 superhit, Rhythm Is a Dancer established their talent beyond question.
fuferito "Rhythm Is a Dancer established their talent beyond question." - Really ? Dreadful song. There are a stack of dance tracks from the '90s that were far better. and that lyric, "I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dance". That's _really_ bad taste.
@@lewis72, Not to mention he stole that exact line from _I Ain't No Joke,_ by Eric B & Rakim. For sure there were tons of better songs at that time, but _Rhythm Is a Dancer_ was still a huge success for Snap, and it was a clubhouse anthem, like it or not.
chill rob g's style of lyrical form is the real true school sound of sugar hill gangs era. to ornew school cats it probably sound wacked but remember the form is original, punch lines and I'll metaphors were not popular.
Chill Rob G's vocals from "Let The Words Flow" were added to "The Power" (Arista), a track produced in Germany containing samples from Mantronixs "King Of The Beats Lesson #1", and vocals by Jocelyn Brown's "Love's Gonna Get You". Stu Fine (former owner of Wild Pitch), made a seal with Arista to release it in Europe and N. America, where it did well. Chill Rob G consented to a US release (which he thought could be lucrative), but Arista Records wanted to release it there too- and since the record couldn't be released by two labels, Arista replaced CRG's vocals with Turbo B.
strange you say NOT SNAP cause this is made by the same 2 producers who made snap Virgo Garrett III and Benito Benites even mentioned on rob g's album as producers long story first he dont want his rap on snaps track (thats why tehy change rapper and lyrics) but tehn he realised he can make money and try to release the song as his own in the states but failed cause its not his song but a snap song. so he contact the 2 produders and tehy released the power under the name "power jam" so if you want is the version from "power jam" the one and only real official version from the original snap producers together with rob g. but the track is actually original a snap track
If you want to listen to hip-house songs sung by women, I recommend you to listen to 3 songs, made in 1990, namely: Princess Ivori - Wanted czcams.com/video/9XceB3YbC18/video.html Go Bang - Bang It czcams.com/video/6Fwi93qHseE/video.html Rhonda Moore - Preface czcams.com/video/QPKodH09TT8/video.html
I never understood how Snap's version was more popular. This one blew it away. I downloaded this version from Itunes and the girl who sings I Got the Power sounds horrible.
This isn't even the real original. I remember a dj on the radio freaking out about this scandal back in '90. The 'I've got the power' chorus was a totally different woman in the original.
This beat is wack !!!! compared the original one. The song is called "Let the words flow". And I don't care about snaps wack replacement rhyme from the industry, it's not the sampled composition... And by the way, the only thing they took from the original song what's the horn riff...clearly part of the demise of intelligent rap aka MC ing.
Chill Rob G he is the real deal.
I use to live around the corner from him in Jersey City.
And he was a serious guy, very smart, always reading a book, reserved, and quiet.
I believe he was a Muslim, 5%'r, As a child, he was the first person I ever met that I saw on TV.
I was a teenager when the two versions were released. We all loved this version. We were like who the hell is Snap? This version was the real deal!

Essa é a melhor versão,top quem tá ouvido aí?2023
Muito da hora
This version is an inofficial promotional remix done by Chris Cox released on "Hot Tracks" (a famous USA based DJ-Remix-Service-Program")...
Damm, I was sure there was another version I heard in the clubs back in the day.
'Treat it like a national flag and upraise it' 👌

Love this
I remember this from back in the day but this remix I like
I think that I have heard this version ONCE since first hearing this rap in the mid to late 80s
This is the original
He vivido engañado, Snap es uno de mis grupos favoritos y desconocia que The Power era un cover.......

He didn't jack " Unwind Yourself " , he actually got permission for the sample.
Versão Massa The Power☆☆☆
Essa versão é a melhor
chill rob g's style of lyrical form is the real true school sound of sugar hill gangs era. too new school cats it probably sound wacked.
Peace!!!!!
Well stated ;-)

This was the original thst was heard in clubs before the snap radio ripped it off !
Sounds like it was spliced together at 2:17
best version. had 1 copy and 2 snap. great fun mixing.
@dabanditisback it's not an ed lover beat(it's just famous for being used on yo mtv raps today, because ed lover made a dance off of it,lol), it's the 900 number by mark the 45 king, who also composed " The Power", and it's instrumental(which is sampled from matronix's - king of beats.

Need to put this version on that other music platform that it is not on, sadly.
can anyone help me? whats the song that sounds in the first minutes mixed with this?
a.m.e.n
yo chill? what happnd to NY?
Serious????Snap is a copy????
Marilda Dalevedove yes Snap remade it
Snap is basically two white German music producer/remixers who came across this original version by CRG and plagiarized (read: stole) most of it., with CRG promptly suing in court. Turbo-B and Penny Ford are essentially hired performers under contract to SNAP.
Its getting gonna hectic!
Huh??
*getting kinda hectic
the 45 King did Rob G's version. That explains this remix.
heard he was talking about Biz Markie!

ONLY THING THE SAME IS THE BEAT HOOK ANS ITS GETTING KINDA HECTIC PART BUT ALL LYRICS ARE DIFFERENT! LIKE THIS ONE BETTER!
Who thought throwing the Ed Lover Beat in there was a good idea?
its actually Unwind Yourself... by Marva Whitney!.. thats where 45 King jacked it from.
But the 900 Number is sampled in this
so snap did the remake of this?

Rob has said that he did not get paid
Chill Rob G ate Turbo ass up. I can’t even listen to Snap version, it’s garbage compared to this….
I hope he got $.

both Snap and Rob G put out the same fuckin' song. They should have did a duet together and maybe they would have be taken seriously! haha
