I really wish rappers today would learn from him instead of using all that profanity. His lyrics aren't offensive. Young kids today can listen to his music without learning how to cuss. Young kids can sing his songs and rap without getting in trouble with their parents. I love his music. And I'm an old head.
Had to pull up my Special Ed collection on itunes a few weeks ago. Like others have mentioned, Ed was ahead of his time. His lyrics would destroy 9 out of 10 "MCs" today. He is definitely one of the most slept on.
@@MontyMontekano they’re not. “But hey, I do it cause I like it, plus it is constructive Enriching to the mind, cause it's mentally productive And I am one who seeks special education Cause I can't learn from the system of my nation Or should I say my residence run by dead presidents Cause my mother and brother and father are ]From the motherland of another land called Jamaica Some of them say God, some of them say Jah is the Maker But I say why say and who is to say Cause you make yourself what you are today” ABC is Jack, smack, back, tack. Newer rappers are actual ABC, most of them do not do internal rhymes. This is not abc. It’s not lyrical miracle spherical, but it’s poetry and not only are they good rhymes but the delivery is good. It’s only abc to you because you don’t get hip hop. You probably think Rakim is abc.
This guy was way ahead of his time. My rap style was completely styled and influenced off his. He’d start a A bar with a 2 or 3 syllable rhyme Scheme then switch to another to then end the bar tuning with the first scheme. Nobody was really doing that back then m. Special Ed 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
My favorite shyts is when he said, "Cause I'm full of fun and I got a gun to kill MCs fresher than me but there ARE none. Cause I've looked every where. Under every rock and every chair."
Big up Special Ed!! All giving props to his roots (Jamaica)!! Jamaica wi sey!!! Special props to Jamaican born rappers: Heavy D and Chubb Rock!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 We got skills! Don’t forget The Godfather of the hip hop movement in the Boggie Down Bronx, “Kool Herc” from Trench Town Jamaica!! History lessons for all the hip hop heads! Watch di ride!
Interestingly, the male dancers (Kayzo and Prancer) went on to form a rap group called Zhigge in 1992, with the hits "Toss It Up" and "Rakin' In The Dough".
kudos to you! I love to hear this!!! I was a youngin when this came out, this is how I grew up and hoped that your your generation would appreciate it too, SALUTE!!
Man this song bought tears .. I was like 5 years old doing the running man when my mamma use to play this and the mission … bought back so many memories
I'm traveling back in time to Tower Records in 1990. I'm paying $2.50 to $2.99 for cassette singles. I believe I bought this single as well as Chub Rock's Treat Em' Right in the same transaction. Nostalgia.
Man I'm 47 one of my best rapper raised in South carolina I couldn't get the new music unless I visit my uncle in the Bronx ny yall so lucky get the fresh new gear and everything else then we did I'm 2hrs from atl they couldn't get the mixtape like that I used to drive down there alot mc shy d had it on lock we raised off of Luke trick daddy mc shy d
These kids will never understand the way real rap felt. There was a feeling that I can't describe when this song rocked through the streets of East New York.
"In Living Color" Season 2, Episode 15. SW1 spins this during the Fly Girls dancing, before they go into commercial break. I have just spent all morning looking for this song. I saw the episode on tv this morning 5/21/22, and came to the internet to try and find it. Except all the episodes of In Living Color online replace all the original licensed music with some generic track! I started freaking out, thinking I'd never find what this song was. There are NO LISTS anywhere online of the licensed tracks that originally aired. Thankfully, some kind soul uploaded a VHS copy of the original show to youtube, and I found it somehow. I watched the end credits, and there it was, Special Ed- Come On, Let's Move It. I really wish there was a database online that listed all the original tracks they used. This music will be forgotten otherwise.
Yup still listening to this in 2021 one of my favorite old school jam’s I use to dance to in the Club back in my Day let’s get it it who still listening to this in 2021
Yo I still get the chills in 2019 when I watch this.....I’m proud to have grown up in the freshest era of hip hop....the beats, the dancin, scratchin in the chorus...so dope!! Idk how that hip “pop” shit is on top right now and don’t know how heads that came up on this dont remember...smmfh
While he was on the scene he was always considered a bit of a lightweight. So he didn't get a heap of respect. Compared to today's garbage, of course, he sounds like solid gold.
![Snow - Informer (Official Music Video) [4K Remaster]](/img/n.gif)
This beat was fire. Howie T was one of the best hip-hop produces from this era, special ed and chub rock, his beats were fire
"...Cause my mother and brother and father are from the Motherland of another land called Jamaica/Some of them say God, some of them say Jah is the Maker.."
🥶

Back then TOO
These lyrics are so ABC sttfu 😂😂😂😂
You are correct
@@MontyMontekano they’re not.
“But hey, I do it cause I like it, plus it is constructive
Enriching to the mind, cause it's mentally productive
And I am one who seeks special education
Cause I can't learn from the system of my nation
Or should I say my residence run by dead presidents
Cause my mother and brother and father are
]From the motherland of another land called Jamaica
Some of them say God, some of them say Jah is the Maker
But I say why say and who is to say
Cause you make yourself what you are today”

Those dancers are absolutely amazing. Real dancin
Interestingly, the male dancers (Kayzo and Prancer) went on to form a rap group called Zhigge in 1992, with the hits "Toss It Up" and "Rakin' In The Dough".
CZBLH GRIOT i never knew this
Exactly. Not all that gyrating and nastiness. I wish those dance moves came back. You can't use his dance moves to today's songs. so sad. 😔
How funky is this beat.
"Miss Broadway" by Belle Epoque
Special Ed was special during his time. Clean fun music, classic. Always great dancing. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲always did remembered his roots 🇯🇲
They slept on him
"I used to fight people like I fight Suckas, damn I like jam so I wanna thank Smuckas" - poetic genius. From a time when hip-hop was fun.
Had no problem thanking God in rap music
once in a while you hear a song that you love forever as much as the fist time you heard it. such a classic
Pure heat!!!!! I miss this type of Hip Hop. When lyrics had actual content and not the Trap Rap Crap one hit wonders of today
I’m in 2022 a youngin who bumping him this was way before my time 😭👏🏽💯✍🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
kudos to you! I love to hear this!!! I was a youngin when this came out, this is how I grew up and hoped that your your generation would appreciate it too, SALUTE!!
Special Ed and Slick Rick. Most underated rap lyricists if their time.

I'm traveling back in time to Tower Records in 1990. I'm paying $2.50 to $2.99 for cassette singles. I believe I bought this single as well as Chub Rock's Treat Em' Right in the same transaction. Nostalgia.
I LIVE IN THE PAST 😢😅🎉❤
The Intro is everything...❤ And so is the video if you truly listen to the rhymes he is spittin...Iconic before his time...💒
Special Ed was/is truly something special on the Mic. Young Thug etc Rappers 2day can't mess with him.

I loved special ed. Know all the lyrics. Great stuff. Underrated at the time.
These kids will never understand the way real rap felt. There was a feeling that I can't describe when this song rocked through the streets of East New York.

That ain’t Malcolm Jamal Warner!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh... he directed the video, I thought they were saying special Ed is Malcolm Jamal Warner 😂
@@Mrdreamer426 lol....he did guest star on the Cosby show as JT freeze and Rudy snuck out of the house to see him so I can understand the confusion.

I always thought Ed was underrated. His verses were always tight and never sloppy, and his delivery was like nobody else’s.
I wish he'd make some more songs. I'd buy every cd.
Still bumps in 2023!
Even his clothing styles were awesome...!!!!
How did I forget about this classic? It's so dope.

FLUFF DADDY KILLED HIP HOP IN '94. THE TRUE RAP SCENE DIED.
While he was on the scene he was always considered a bit of a lightweight. So he didn't get a heap of respect. Compared to today's garbage, of course, he sounds like solid gold.
