Everlast On The Hidden Backstory Of House Of Pain's Mega-Hit 'Jump Around' | People's Party Clip
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 15. 04. 2020
- In this clip from People's Party, host Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh talk with House of Pain frontman Everlast about his mega-hit "Jump Around." Everlast shares the backstory of the song -- including the fact that Ice Cube passed on the beat. He also addresses the source of what just might be the world's most controversial sample. When Kweli remarks on the fact that the track launched around the same time as Kriss Kross's "Jump," Everlast tells the story of rushing their song onto the radio after learning that Joe Nicolo, co-founder of Ruffhouse Records, had heard the track and created a similar beat and theme for Kriss Kross.
For the deep hip-hop heads, Everlast's story of having Pete Rock on the track's remix is a must-see, as is the story of Pete's only time performing with House of Pain live.

DJ Muggs doesn't get the respect he deserves, dude is a mad scientist
IMO he was up there with the BEST in the 90s but never got the credit he deserved..... That Soul Assassins series was VERY good as well (Especially the first one).
Muggs is the GOAT
@@seancagney1369 straight fire classic
the first 2 cypress hill, first 2 funkdoobiest and first 2 house of pain albums are 100 % dope. The first Soul Assassins is when his stuff started sounding like everybody else IMO.
Muggs is the greatest under rated dj the man is a God on turn tables
Everlast had that voice that made those songs go hard.
Right..fo real
M N+ that a damn shame that why I can't stand current hip hop the only good current hip hop is the underground
90s hip hop was the pinnacle of hip hop. The golden age. Sad those days are gone but they live in our hearts.
Sadly you are correct, I grew with that shit..soooooo many good beats, so many good rhymes...damn I miss those days but let 90s hip hop live on in my stereo daily
Still listen to it religiously!
Every old person feels the era they grew up in was the pinnacle. 50 year olds talk about todays rap the same way 50 year olds then talked about rap in the 90s
Real hip hop heads know for a fact that before Eminem there was Everlast and he had bars for days and he deserves more respect for that alone đ„đ„đ„
There was a group in the 80s called the "white boys" had a song called "coolin in the crib"...and a couple of other tight songs.
B Real was killin it too
So good to see Everlast grow and show class and wisdom. Talib is owning the game right now.
Facts, U know we agree
@@UPROXXVideo I don't know if I trust this Santa Clause I feel he was made as a toy clone of Tim Alan
@@erichart2756 dude's a legend. He started out in Ice-Ts Rhyme Syndicate. Signed to Tommy Boy and worked with Pete Rock and DJ Muggs. Better research shun
@@jmmacphail1 first it's dun, I know whitey Ford when I see him, I was the only one in my kindergarten class listening to house of pain when the shit dropped my uncle loved that white boys could rap he heard it in the military and showed me, if we can't clown in hip hop where can we clown, shit I was listening to dilated peoples back when that record with him dropped before Kanye was fuckin with them, my hip hop roots run deep dun dun. And I had the Tommy Boy compilation that jump around was on
@@erichart2756 ok! You got it chief. I'll stay on the reservation, just don't tax my cigarettes.
You are mosdef in the know
1) 'Jump Around' is one of those songs that will never grow old.
2) I remember his music before he was with House Of Pain, and he was good then!
This song is definitely up there with all my early 90's club bangers: Chubb Rock's "Treat Em Right", MC Hammer's "Hammer Time" and Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" and Slick Rick's "Children's Story"! Fa Sho!đđ
Yeah I remember him with Ice T and the syndicate
Best part of a Wisconsin Badgers football game is everyone both sides Jump Around!
Divine Styler and Everlast.
He was with another guy called The White Boys which I saw a video only one time on Video Music Box
1992 was the year I loved and still love: RUMP SHAKER, HIP HOP HOORAY AND JUMP AROUND were the songs.
Hip Hop Hooray was more like 1993 because it was released in December of 92. 92 was more like O.P.P. Yeah you know me.....
Hell yeah I just turned 21 that summer and hearing all them jams in the clubs we hit was an amazing experience and times, I wish I had a delorian from doc so I could go back and never come back
I miss the days when rappers and DJâs were duos and got equal respect.
rick philly a duo. Equal billing is what Iâm referring to. In a group the drummer usually doesnât get the props the singer does. And there are a few exceptions to that, like Keith Moon.
Everlast, not only a badass rapper, but dang that guy can sing a soulful tune too. Always had respect for that.
This is fast becoming the best HIP HOP podcast by far... đŻ
dawb86 , I agree he interviews the most intriguing artists, he doesnât seem disingenuous like annoying vlad!! What a breath of fresh air Talib Kwali is as an interviewer!!
nauticadon , no doubt agree!
dawb86 totally agree, Talib got a hit on his hands
Talib interviews are becoming legendary. He doesn't interrupt, he is genuine ...
Negative youâre mean drink champs
Got Shamrocks & Shenanigans on tape somewhere...Everlast has calibre, an OG in the game earned his stripes from being part of Rhyme Syndicate with Ice T...can't forget Who's The Man...still gets bumped today...Golden Era of Hip Hop and Rap is timeless...glad I grew up during it and was at an age where I could appreciate it...salute to all that contributed to it...salute
Yeeaahhh,..."The Golden Era" !!! I was in college in NYC, at the time. Those were the days !!!
Amen. Long gone are these days
@@sexyfatbastid yessir, those were the days...everything felt authentic and real back then, original, not fake like today...I miss that...
@@rickgattermeir1249 everytime I play an old school track it's a hammer blow reminder that those days a long gone...
Fine malt lyrics was great too
Seeing everlast with grey hair makes me feel hella old.
đđ still want YOUR AARP card...
Had it on tape on my Walkman at school
Me being fully grayed out at 36 makes me look old
He's six months older than me, and WAY greyer - but I wish I looked this good.
Shit Everlast generation is in their 50s now.
Jump Around is on another level in Europe its a must play in all the clubs. It still will be over 50 more years
Check out Everlast's new crew with B real called " warporn"
It's a worldwide classic, not just Europe! It transcended genres and gets played everywhere!
100
"Pack it up, pack it in let me begin I came to win battle me thats a sin!" These kids dont over stand how powerful your first bars should be!
Saying they don't overstand means they understand. They don't understand the art at all. You are wrong. These kids dont know sh!t.
Iâm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top, I never eat pig âcause a pig is a cop....
Try to play my name out,as if my name was saga....
@LittleTinyBabyJesus you got the wrong song there ! Ice ice baby !
Feel blessed that the soundtrack of my teenage years included House of Pain and all the other amazing Hip Hop of that era.
Who's the man?
Everlast is looking like a more badass Michael Mcdonald.
Itâs hard to be more badass than Michael McDonald
đ đ đ„°đ„°
LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, !!!!!!
I was a little kid when those records were out. I loved both as a child but obviously Jump Around aged better. Jump Around is a certified classic to this day.
shamrocks and shenanigans also, not as much but that boom shalock lock boom shit bumped
@Tone R. Both are classics but you can tell Kriss Kross was written as a hit for some kids. It's a pure pop construction when you think about it, samples the Jackson 5, utilizes the boom bap energy of 90s hip hop (which we now realize was biting House of Pain's swag from "Jump Around"), using the Das EFX "iggity" rhyming style that a lot of people swag-jacked at the time. Lyrics complete throwaways whereas Everlast's battle style bars are still on point to this day.
Both are timeless records
@Marlon Gidluck Jump by Kriss Kross not a Hip Hop Classic? We just gone disagree bro and I been listening to hiphop since 88. A great song is a great song. Both were great for what they were to me. I'm won't shit on either one - both songs did what they were suppose to do.
They're both classics. In the south east, JUMP by Kris Kross is the shit
Iâm so glad I grew up in the best era of hip hop âđŸâđŸâđŸ#70âsbaby
I'm a 60s baby and got to go to the underground clubs to hang out and see them perform.. especially when they were up and coming.
True That!
That Pete Rock story was hysterical!!
Iâve been that high on stage , blew a whole guitar solo...just staring at the crowd đł derrrrff
Awesome pcast!
Thanks!!!
That jump around remix is a classic
Everlast: Ladies & gentlemen; Introducing PETE ROCK!!!!!!!!
Pete Rock: This the best part, watch......
LMAO
Right!
Rhyme Syndicate emcee Everlast...talk about the rap pundits not giving a rapper his credit...add Everlast to that long list of incredible 90s rappers.
That's COOOOOOOOOORECT!!! Everlast is 100% underrated.
Didn't Em fuck the shit outta this guy.?
Wordlife John 50/50
Yoooo, Rhyme Syndicate was the shit man! That entire crew were nuts! But, Everlast and Divine Styler were before their time.
his rhyme schemes were super basic but so were tons of emcees from that era. The multi-syllable shit hadn't really evolved yet. Neither had this triple-time rhyming which I personally find annoying. But he knew how to flow and he meant every word. And jump around is still one of the biggest rap records of all time.
First hip-hop concert was Funkdobist/House of Pain & Cypress Hill, best time EVER, still got the stub.
Here also Detroit October 92 I wanna say.
I bet that was a good show. My first hip-hop show was Public Enemy, Kwame, Kid 'N Play, and Digital Underground. Plus, they had the S1Ws, in full effect. It was boomin'!
Saw that tour too. Fitchburg state college in September 1993. Cypress Hill was the headliner, but HOP stole the show by far.
"Bow wow wow" by Funkdubiest is still played in my car regularly....
@@TriptoCo Hell yeah!
"I'm flavor, behavior
Is ill when I spill
Youll be fucked like
Fire Marshal Bill"
Now I'm feeling like an old man :)
peace
So dope. Soul assassins for life.
Color aside he has an impressive hairline for his age
Iâm jealous of that hairline.
Agreed
I know a guy who's 80 and still has all his hair
"Color aside"?....TF?
Talib thanks for recognizing a good emcee like everlast. He is a legend not cos of jump around alone. From rhyme syndicate he was on fire
Right still got his first solo album Everasting around here somewhere on cassette got to put it in my I pod
@@derrickjohnson8504 That's a brilliant album!
@@AK-74K no doubt I was a big rhyme syndicate head and when I heard syndication I was hooked
Like him or not, Everlast is a major contributor to hip hop. Whitey Ford respect bro.
Everlast looks great. I'm a 54 yo white dude still listening to old skool and new skool hip hop and R & B.
Everlast - very underrated - great voice in his prime. HOP đȘđŒđźđȘđ„
Man, 'Jump Around' has been on my permanent playlist ever since I first heard it back in the mid 90s.
Never was a fan of HOP. Everlast is a good dude and a good Dad. His little girl has cystic fibrosis and he is very active in the cystic fibrosis community and exercises so much love and compassion for all people. Poignant and Praiseworthy. I give him props for that alone. And he can play that six string like nobodyâs business.
That sweater Everlast got on is dumb nice! đ„
sweatshirt
sweater is knitted, sweatshirt is sewed.
First Hip Concert as 11 year , witj Irish cousins R island summer 92 , Met Everlast , he spoke Gaelic to me , Loves his Irish Roots , grew up listening to House of Pain , he started a hip hop culture in Ireland, Yo MTV raps , one of the greatest MCs live ever , can hold his Hat to anyone, Ăirinn go BrĂĄch, my best friend as a kid was at a basketball camp from Ireland in the Poconos and he came and rapped for the kids , he was the only Irish kid , he brought him on stage , all the American Kids called my friend Everlast , all these kids were from the hood and Taught He was A brother , guy is a legend , what a group man , they get no recognition, amazing live
This dude is a real MC!
House of Pain still is one of my top 5 rap groups of all time. To this day, I still listen to all of their music, introducing their sound to my children. Such a different time. Have followed Everlast since
Everlast was part of IceT Rhyme Syndicate
It's crazy homeboy started off as a graff writer before hooking up wit Ice T and the Syndicate.
I remember seeing him on VIDEO MUSIC BOX in 1989.
That crew was kinda deep: Toddy Tee, Bronx style Bob, Dj Aladin, etc.
Yes indeed he was, that was a deep crew back in the days
Muggs is criminally underrated. Easily a Top 5 producer of all time.
100 percent
An Absolute anthem of a choon. Whether you are old or young when that song drops and gets to the chorus, you only do one thing. đđŸđ„đ„đ„
Jump around was played when my wife and I came to the reception of our wedding. đ. Who knew it would be so timeless
Everlast looking like poppa smurf
Or Santa Claus
@Motorheadmike because his daughter has cystic fibrosis. So donât say anything
Can't wait for the full interview. I hope they discuss La Coka Nostra and War Porn Industries. Everlast has done nothing but improve.
That War Porn Industries album was hella underrated. That shit was tuff!!!
Everlast? Wow! Looking like someone's cool ass grandpa!
The Pete Rock version gets the love on jacksonville radio
I like that version too.
LOVED his role in Judgement night, and bc of that album i learned of house of pain. i was 13. in '93
LUCY! Iâm home ! You got some âsplanin to do!
People, Everlast dropped a fire mixtape a couple years ago in his new group Warporn Industries w Sick Jacken of Psycho Realm and Divine Styler. Definitely check that out. That shit bumps in the whip heavy.
Yep. That hit hard. He did a lot of features over the years besides his own music.
Whereâs this sample from? Divine Styler?
I remember pulling up to the school parking lot on the first day of 11th grade blasting this shit as loud as it would go. I had two mtx 15s, a punch 300 amp and it rocked the whole lot. I was king of the world.
King shit.
Alpine or Kenwood?
@@ungoyone pioneer...lol flip down dual cd/cassette with remote and bouncing eq. đ
Sheeeeit... Punch? Gotta have that RF POWER series amp!! đ Hell yeah man I'm just playin, I know exactly what you mean. I had the Clarion head unit. Eventually switched it out for alpine after it got stolen... Then I had the alpine graphic at the top of my windshield.
Word I had two alpine type R 12" with alpine 1000w amp. Miss those days but my hearing is shit from it
It's refreshing to hear a white hip hop artist not trying to talk with a black cadence or use black phrases, just a guy being himself. It's actually more respectful to black culture. Same with Beastie Boys when they're interviewed.
How DARE you insult Eminem & his NY accent like that ??!!
No one does that
Was hoping to hear his Irish accent to be honest...
Amen
who cares? Let people talk how they want to talk. I had a white friend growing up who was raised by a black family. How the fuck is he supposed to talk in your opinion? This shit is stupid. People looking for reasons to be upset with politically correct bullshit.
Hey look at Ever Last! He aged well! House Pain also from the Golden Era of Hip-Hop Soo much talent back then! The 90's had that Heat! Jump Up and Get Down!!
Seeing Talib and Everlast chat makes me smile. Straight up.
Well, not only is Talib Kweli a rare artist, turns out he's becoming one of the art of hip-hop's most significant historians and documentarians. I'm not surprised. Thanks.
Finally!!!! Thanks for making this happen
What a legend. Everlast has to be one of the coolest guys in rap
Oh, I CAN'T WAIT for the full interview!!! Everlast and House of Pain were MAD DOPE!!!
Talib is the ONLY hip hop guy Iâd like to smoke with, I feel like we could geek out on hip hop. Everlast you are the beginning of my hip hop path.
The Pete Rock Remix , When Pete Rock Rhymes :
đ” â Listen to the sound that pounds, I jump around
I'm no clown, I get down
To the funk, listen to the wig out
And step to the rear, dear, cause I'm here
The P to the E to the T E rockin'
The runs in your stockin'
So hon, put the lock in
Chillin' with the House Of Pain
Blood stains the ground
Huh, I jump around â đ”
Pete was a little cat, hat, bat on that one.
Blood stained remix
Looking forward to this one! Much love
I was in middle school when Jump popped. I went to my first house party. Had to be hundreds of teenagers in this two story house. Iâll never forget being on the first floor and the DJ put on jump around. You could literally see the second floor bouncing from everyone jumping. From the bottom floor, shit look like it was about to cave in. Luckily it didnât. It was so dope. Very few songs have that enthusiasm from itâs listeners.
Everlast still making great music. Cool interview.
I'm looking forward for the entire full-length interview with the man whom used to be down with the Rhyme Syndicate crew, he owns the House Of Pain brand and he's known as Whitey Ford himself EEEEEEEEEVERLAAAAAAAAAST!!!
Everlast, that is.
Mad love for Everlast and the guys. I actually heard Everlast first as a kiddo when he dropped his solo record in 98. What an amazing group of human beings!
The Pete Rock remix was harder than the LP version. Facts!!!
It's not facts, it's your opinion.
123 that blunt
No it wasn't
@@benjamingreen6564 đ€
I was 13 when this song dropped, my then living, drug addicted mother lied me into rehab by telling the state stories of her substance abuse while replacing her name with mine and BOOM 8 month paid for babysitter by force. FTR I STILL don't do drugs as I didn't then. Life has its ways of coming at you even if only instigated by others imagination and corruption. Thanks for the cut Everlast, I still rock that song today.
Loved their song on the judgement night soundtrack "just another victim" . H.O.P. was a pretty dope group
Love that movie he was one of the bad guys
Love this! Big House of Pain and Everlast fan. đđ„đ€ I was 16 when Jump Around dropped and instantly loved it like everyone else. Still bumping it to get hyped up. And agree the Pete Rock remix and hook is the đŁđ¶đ
Bless yâall. Stay healthy.
Thoroughly enjoyed this clip
lot's of fun dancing to this back in the day in the clubs and frat-parties and bars... tons of fun memories..lol
It's a great song and video still. The intro, beat, lyrics, video and presentation from the man in the Celtics jersey. It makes me miss my old bar hopping and keg party days in the Northeast. Well done.
Class act and great works lads, keep it up and Much Love & Respect
"Jump Around" was massive in Ireland when it came out and it still is due to the House of Pain's Irish connectionâ It was such a huge track that some bars and clubs tried to ban D.Js from playing it because it sent the crowd so wild jumping everywhere and throwing their drinks in the air and causing general mayhem, it was insaneđ
I always wondered if they even heard of HOP in Ireland. Thanks for that
Kenny Rogers slick back instead of wings. Looks fresh, clean.
Yall get mega love for this one. We been bumping Everlast since the Rhyme Syndicate days.
I remember back in the days I want to a spot in New York City called sounds over on st. Mark's place across and bought the jump around single with the Pete Rock remix hard
I still throw it in the mix at almost every event and it gets ppl jumping
we all love Shamrock and Shenanigans but to me their best album still remains Same as it ever was. Back from the dead still gives me chills
Yeah, their second album doesn't get the love that it deserves.
Back when mtv played music and groups had great music. 90âs hip hop will never be replaced or go out of style. Iâm glad I got to grow up and experience the best music ever.
Man that was a damn good interview!
Solid!
For years i thought this guy was dead, somebody once told me that and i kept believing that. Happy he's doing good.
He had some type of life saving heart surgery.
Wow! Blast from the past man!! Respect!!
Jump around!!!!!! Awesome. Never forget the first time hearing it as a kid.
Judgement Night is in my Top 5 soundtracks of all time largely because of "Just Another Victim".
Helmet and house of pain holy cow I can't believe I forgotten got song that was 1 of my all-time
Funny how everyone has their own favourite of that album. Mine is "Another Body Murdered" by Booya T.R.I.B.E and Faith No More.
Huge House of pain fan big fan of Everlast but Talib Kweli Snapback game is fire bro
Bought this Disc new still have it still play it ...........Legend
one of the best interviews of all time
Shout out to anyone that remembers Nel's nightclub in NYC back in the day.
Word..... Nel's had that "french whorehouse" vibe to it.
@@feenfader LMAO
@Mike Mo yup
14th Street next to 2 iis
Nell's is where Biggie filmed Big Poppa...also I believe that's where the TV show "NY Undercover" would film the club scenes at the end of each episode
Classic jam!
We love your music and we love your work as Santa Everlast â€
One of the greatest remixes and songs ever!!!!! Was in high school!! That collab changed the complexity of hip hop!
Come on, drop the whole thang yo. 1st concert I went to was Cypress, HOP & Funkdoobiest.
They always drop the full interview on Mondays U.S time. I live in the U.K, so I haven't a clue, if it is day or night-time!
Proud to Jamaican... we influence so much people and styles of music..
Disco!
True indeed. Toasting before rhyming on the mic. Shout out to the "Ragnumpiza" Dillinger. Kool Herc and his break beats started it all.
Damn I'm old that album dropped when I was a freshman in high school. We still play it .
The best sports arena beat EVER⊠this interview was đ„đ„đ„
I wanna hear his take on the beef with DJ Quik but I don't think Talib may have been aware of that song and beef like that.It was only last year when Quik spoke on it on Quest Love podcast and Danny Boy spoke on it a few years ago but I never heard Everlast speak on it
@@martinvela-sanchez9396 Yeah that's what Danny Boy from House of Pain said but I never heard it specifically from Everlast which he will probably say the same thing.The thing though Quik said it was bcuz what he did or didn't say about Ice T in a magazine and I do remember bcuz I had the issue back in the day.Everlast was real cool with Ice T so they knew they had to have an excuse to just go at a rapper without being just labeled haters.Quik did call Ice T a buster it had nothing to do with Cypress if anything if was Cypress who was backing Everlast bcuz I think they weren't happy at comments Quik was saying either about gang culture then turn around and be banging at his shows.Cypress thought he was a hypocrite so B Real probably was like we'll just use his video as an excuse to why you dissed him referring to Everlast
Everlast still got styleđ„
Good stuffđđœđŻ house of pain will always be #classic JUMP AROUND yall
This was big in London England got it the day it was released, saw them perform it in Brixton academy, love hearing about the background behind a track
Heâs always been fine
RIGHT? Now heâs gone silver fox.
SO damn fine đ
Yes, maâam! đ»
Talib please give BG Knockout a call and bring him in for an interview! Talk more about the behind the scene in making Real Muthaphuckkin G and the Ruthless vs Death Row feud.
Loved house of pain back in the day came across same as it ever was about two months ago on CZcams been playing it since ,,, o the memories đđ
Classic, still works today. Jump around jump up jump up and get down...
