17 years old in 1986 doing the wop on my stoop listening to Dj Red Alert or Chuck chillout on 98.7 kiss FM or Mr.Magic and Marly Marl on 107.5 WBLS FM. Beautiful times in NYC.
Hadn't heard this jam since I left New York.....much love to WBLS 107.5 and WRKS (98.7 KISS).....RIP Frankie Crocker.....and much love to Mister Magic, Marley Marl, Chuck Chillout, Kool DJ Red Alert.....Bed Stuy, Money Makin' Manhattan, and the place where Hip Hop was born......Boogie Down Bronx
Right, SALUTE the Forgotten Unsung Legend FRANKIE... MY IDOL.. CROCKER & SUPER ROCKING MR. MAGIC... WAND❣🙏🏼 we owe it to them for their importance in getting the green light to play rap & push hip hop into mainstream with radio stations across America later following their lead
The Wop, the Prep, the Fila, the snake, the bedrock, the pee wee Herman, the cabbage patch, the robocop, the running man. From the mid 80s to the end of the decade, those dances ruled.
The Tilt, The James Brown, The Happy Feet (there was 2 versions) the Basketball, the Beneton, the Freddy Kruger, the Stomp, the ET, The Smurf, the POP Up... 80-90! We were some "dance machines" as RIP KING OF POP Michael Jackson once sang 😊
+Lionel Atkinson I did. I had most of Teddy's early beat tapes that he used to make for crews to use for performance at jams. Teddy did a lot for M.C.'s back then but never wanted to be known to the general public at that time.
@@d.j.davito4155 Not only in NY, we knew about that in London at the time as well. He did all the Kool Moe Dee shit as well on his middle albums as he transitioned into Swing. I bet op doesn't know that as an avid R&B fan.
the wop was the shit back in the days I used to kill it Im 46 I still do the wop this is hip hop when everybody was having a good time not fighting or killing one another I wish I can bring those days back 80 s rap
Michael Hunter Yes!!!!!! This is when MUSIC WAS FUN!!!!! YOU COULD WASH YOUR CAR, PLAY THIS AT THE BACK YARD BBQ, FAMILY REUNION, AND ALL THE KIDS WERE RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO DANCE AND HAVE FUN. NOW, THE ONLY THING YOU SEE ARE WOMEN TWERKING, MEN GRINDING, AND PEOPLE JUST ACTING CRAZY!!!! BRING BACK FUN, CLEAN, FAMILY DANCE-ABLE (LOL) MUSIC
@@darlenenewell2643 Actually NY had a really bad gang problem in the 1970s, otherwise Warriors wouldn't even make sense as a fictionalised account of that. The gangs turned into breakdancing gangs, but that was only in NY and it wasn't like parties did not get turned out now and then or people got jacked for their sheepskin bombers and chains, stop talking shit, I was there too.
This is used to go off at the Rooftop!!! I can clear as day see me and my friends doing The Wop on our skates. Sweet memories man!!! Much love from Harlem NYC ❤️❤️❤️
I had the pleasure of meeting him last year at Comedian Talents birthday party in Harlem, NY! I used to play this song so much as a teenager, I thought my head was going to roll off my neck from dancing to it! lol
I remember this song when my boys and I try to learn the dance before going to union square in NYC (with Fake ID's for the chinaman). One of my boys got his chain taken that night! Then came home and tried to master the dance at about 5am in the mornin. SWEET! This is when I had no bills this music should be therapy for all old heads.
Haven't heard this one in a very long time. I remember jammin' to this at UT-Martin, way back in the day. Love the heavy beat on this track...how I miss the 80s!
You tube is the shit you find songs you haven't heard in a longtime or cant even find in a music store or online damnnn!!!!....This was the shit back then at house parties miss those days.
He performed this song the night that Union Square opened in NYC. Eric B & Rakim was the headliners and the show was crazy. Decepts was outside robbing and fighting everything moving! #80sMemories
This was a time when Rap was Fun . I can't do the dance no more but I'll remember this song & others like it Forever. On & on to the break-Ah- Dawn. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I don't know where you're from, but in Cleveland, this jam was on heavy rotation on the radio and every damn where. It kept the dance floors packed all the time, no joke.
Was in a club called Bentley’s in Manhattan around 1987 and saw this dude who looked old enough to have been clubbing in the 50s. He had on a baby blue suit and he Wopped down to the ground! Impressive. I was amazed. 😂😂😂
Had been looking for this unsuccessfully until today. could hear the beat and wop wop wop it in my head. just couldn't remember the song title. I remember old school songs from their beats. I grew up in this time and the beats always caught my ear. I guess its me being Native and our love of the drum. :)
Now THIS is the WOP I grew up with!
This is the Real Wop...woppit..lol I was in high school.

angel ortiz so funny it really was one of the first line dances... in Chicago anyway... lol! 😂
The old days, miss those times.
WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember the same thing back then myself. In '86 I was 12/13. Always listened to Red Alert or Mr. Magic & Chuck Chillout religiously.
Yessss ❤️❤️❤️
That beat still kills to this day

Mr Magic
Crazy Azz Beat..Bet no one knew Teddy Reilly produced this track!
+Lionel Atkinson I did. I had most of Teddy's early beat tapes that he used to make for crews to use for performance at jams. Teddy did a lot for M.C.'s back then but never wanted to be known to the general public at that time.
I knew. Teddy was just coming out the gate. I won a wop contest at a NY club back in 87. Those were the days☺
People from NYC did. The year prior he had produced The Show for Slick Rick and Dougie.
@@d.j.davito4155 Not only in NY, we knew about that in London at the time as well. He did all the Kool Moe Dee shit as well on his middle albums as he transitioned into Swing. I bet op doesn't know that as an avid R&B fan.
I never knew that Teddy was behind the boards on this. Dope!
the wop was the shit back in the days I used to kill it Im 46 I still do the wop this is hip hop when everybody was having a good time not fighting or killing one another I wish I can bring those days back 80 s rap
