This is one of several perfect rap songs. I'm not speaking about this song in relation to or compared to any other songs.

@@bryancolbert6924 never saw it on white vinyl. I have the Jonzun Crew lp on White vinyl. Never seen Play That Beat on WV...
This song Play That Beat was so so so dope. Like you said it's the perfect hip hop song. The beat, the scratches and the rhymes was amazing. Back then this song sounded like no other.
Man... I gotta meet you. I was just telling a group of youngsters that Play that beat is top 5 best Hip Hop songs of all time... IMO
I would live to have you join my online class. "Hip Hop Kulture, History and politics "
Would be honored. Just let me know bro...
1983 flavor!! Don't let them forget Fam!!
Jayquan if nobody knows "Play That Beat Mr. D.J." from anywhere else if they never heard it (unless they were under a rock) they should have known it from the scene on Beat Street with Kool Herc when D.J. K.K. (D.J. Double K) was spinning it at The Burning Spear !!!!!!! I was at the movies in 1984 watching Beat Street !!!! We had the best generation in Hip Hop !!!! Hands Down !!!!
How could someone dislike this. Gotta be trolling! This is incredible stuff and I've never heard The Guru version of Play That Beat "WOW!🙌🏽
Thanks for looking! A few cats were complaining that there were other songs that were "more perfect" than this one. I believe that they missed the fact that I'm chronicling one of many perfect rap songs. Cant please em all...
Another great lesson just in time for the Holidays! Thanks Jay!
I hit like b4 I listened to the lesson. This is definitely 1 of my favorite songs ever.
In 1982 Master Don released Funk Box party and it's a timeless joint. Not the whole song but the 1st vocals by Master Don harmonizing it'll make u say uhhhn na na na na
Now that was a perfect record.
thank you,been trying to find this song for ten years
It's good to see another lesson from you Jayquan.
This is one of my all time favorite jams! This can play on repeat all day long!
One of my 1st Hip Hop records, this and The Mexican .
Play that beat was also used in the classic movie beat street party scene
Another Great 👍🏿 Lesson From My Brother, Jay Quan Yours Truly.
Respect bro
“Play That Beat” is one of my favourite tunes, the combination of MC G.L.O.B.E. & DJ Whiz Kid (RIP) was brilliant!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 classic man I remember hearing this song off Scarface the world is yours game I fell in love and I wish I could go back in time and witness the classic songs of the 80s breakdancing era
Great video on one of my favourite tracks. I've always loved this song & G.L.O.B.E. was dope. "Celebrate(everybody)" is another song that he made with Pow Wow which i think is underappreciated
Yeah, Celebrate and Get Ridiculous. Both pretty good
Thanks JayQuan! good way to kick off the week!! much appreciated!!
Damn! That industrial drill sound that is behind "tune" always got me , me being a bit of a dj and all
Choice as always Jay, this really is an overlooked classic, even back then it still took Steinski's 'Lessons' to really put it on the map at least internationally, I always wondered who the baby in the whizkid belt on the other 12" cover was? in the UK we'd say "oh it's his kid" lol but we didn't know no better, JQ check out the rare Whizkid and Theodore in London on my channel
I wondered who that was on He's Got The Beat as well. I hope to interview some of his family members one day...
Props to Tom Silverman for puttin’ this out and submitting it for the remix contest that gave us “Lesson 1” (Double Dee & Steinski), which then kick started the whole “cut and paste” movement in years to come!
Bought this 12inch in 1984 in the Netherlands ❤️✨ 12 years old 😀
Well produced my brother !!!
Thank you. Respect
I found play that beat again in 2006 and I just didn't know why I loved that song this documentary helps me understand..thanks for the lesson.
Thank you again JayQ for this great Lesson about Emcee Popper G.L.O.B.E. & DJ Whiz Kid with "Play That Beat Mr. DJ (tribute to Kool Herc)"... Please continue with The Foundation Lessons!!!
Thank you. Much appreciated!!!
I slept on Pass The Beat!! Hidden gem!!
If I'm right,it was on the Beside of popcorn love
G L O B E is very underrated as a MC, very unique delivery, I wish he had more material.
"Now we come to the payoff"
If you are referring to the Last Song by Above the Law and NWA... yeah that was good. But actally it was D.O.C. and NWA that made the "perfect" song with Grand Finale.
Jayquan does not say if this Globe song was #1 perfect for its time, or if it transcended and is his #1 all time.
I just don't see it either way Jay trying to sell it.
Rakim 3 years later with President and P.I.F. dominate this.
Hell, gimme Fast Life by J+H over this as perfect rap song. Main Source? Moe? E.p.m.d? Jeeze, I could go prior and after this 83 song and get better.
Hate to be the student arguing with the teacher, but Jay had an off-day with this lesson.
@@TheOldSchool1975 it's a perfect rap song. That doesnt mean in comparison to any other song, it's a perfect song. I didnt use the words best, or most. It's a perfect rap song amongst many...
Actually I see what your saying a little better now. It's a "10" in your book. And there have been multiple "10's" over the years.
But that leads me to ask "How many "10's" exist in Jayquans Book from 1979 to 2020? If a ballpark figure is one perfect song for every year, that would be 40 or 50 songs. Or is this GLOBE song one of only 5 or 6 that you deem "perfect"?
I remember the version that sampled Diana Ross & The Supreams. It blew me away when I first heard it back in the day. Definitely a ground breaking track no doubt.
Yeah, Double D & Steinski....

I heard Pow Wow & Globe on a documentary describe the fast/double time rap as MC Poppin. It's also mentioned in Renegades of Funk. Thanks for another great lesson Jay. 👊🏽
Yes, GLOBE bills himself as the inventor of MC Poppin. Thanks for watching bro
@@TheFoundationhiphop I thought Kool Moe D was the first but I dont think he named it other than fast rappin'. Maybe some of the Furious 5 too? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge & insights. Keep up the great work, your content is unmatched & required viewing for anyone intrested in the genre. Maximum respect 👊🏽
@@nadimovitch9237 You're confusing "fast rap", and "MC Poppin'". MC Poppin', is what the Soul Sonic did, and later, you'd hear Run DMC's version of that style, on their debut songs.
I remember this was on a K-tel ‘Breakdance’ lp back in the 80s.
It even got a snippet in Beat Street but not on the soundtrack?
One of my top songs of all time! Thank you for this!
The stylin, passion and cadence of the rhymes on this is alot like the rhymes on Beatstreet Breakdown. Who inspired who ?
Jayquan, you are a truly a gifted educator and MC. The Foundation is one of the few places on TH-cam I always come away from with inspiration and real knowledge, especially when it comes to hip hop. Many thanks for illuminating so much unwritten history.
Thank you for those kind words. They mean everything!
Play At your own risk PLANET PATROL sounds so clean!!!
Whiz Kid also featured on Imperial Brothers We come to dub.
What a fantastic review on such an iconic song. Been listening to your interviews while I've been working. This has to be one of my favorite songs ever.
This is the first video I watched from The Foundation. I was led to it because I played “Play That Beat” on the Tommy Boy Channel. No doubt that this song was great but the The Foundation brought me back to the day I actually saw it at the record spot. Such a great history lesson for those who weren’t there in the time period. EVERYTHING is on point and 100% accurate. This is the best representation of how Hip Hop history should be taught and passed on to the younger generation. There is also so much information that I never knew.
One of my favourite earley imports,and how can you not love that cover artwork.thank you!.p.s
Are you still going to do an electro part 3?.
Yes!
@@TheFoundationhiphop as densel Washington would say, "my man"
Good question
I still have this 12'!
I hear You Sista! No Party was complete without this Record.
Oh yes this brings back memories, play it kick it why don't you play it for me.
Play that beat was one of those songs back in the days when I would be next to the radio waiting for the song to come on so I can record it on my 8 track (remember that guys?) But I would always catch it like in the middle or towards the end lol ...man brings me good memories and now I owned the record 😁
Wild Style by Timezone & Jam On It by Neucleus are also great examples from '83 imho. Thanks Jay.
Definitely!
@@TheFoundationhiphop i always rated Neucleus for actually being musicians too, quite a rarity. They had so much heart & soul, evident in their '82 demos tapes of the Jam on Revenge lp. Nuff respect Jay.
@@nadimovitch9237 and a Dope bassist
Love this!!!!! I was there!
*this jam is on my top 10 Death Bed songs*
On my death bed this song needs to be played to help me on to the next life. It's a perfect song!
What really, really made this record dope, and I've said this previously, on multiple occasions, is that many of the songs, from this particular era (1982-1985), were catering to the "break dance explosion", that took over America, and the world. Songs like Planet Rock, and Sucker MC's, would've never existed, if it wasn't for B-Boys/Electric-Boogie dancers. And I know this, because I was there to see it.
I can tell you right now, that if it wasn't for the B-Boy element, we wouldn't be having many of these discussions. Especially those that are centered around Electro, or the drum machine era.
Great piece, my brother. Great Xmas gift.
Thanks for looking bro
I agree bro, that set it off!
Class is now in secession!
2023 about to be 2024 and I still say the lyrics to this song
Another one knocked out the park! Salute JayQuan! 🍻
Respect bro. Salute!
This also spawned another Whiz Kid classic with UK rappers The Rapologists, 'The Hip Hop Beat' which was a kind of 'Play That Beat meets Jam On It', the MCs might not have G.L.O.B.E's punch but it still has a charm and some of the instrumental passages are era defining, hope you don't mind the digression JQ thought it worth a mention th-cam.com/video/h2wzqS0oRrk/w-d-xo.html
Nice joint!
The rapologist was a fake name made up by the guy who mixed all the electro street sounds albums in England( DJ mastermind).this song was on UK electro 1 album.
What a tune!!
This song got play, on the air, in NYC. A very rare tune. Not many cats are familiar with this joint.
@@frostysleeps7727 Yes frosty so it seems, if you scroll down to the comments on that link you'll see one of the rappers (Early Daze) talking about it
@@frostysleeps7727 Mastermind was a sound system comprising approx 8 djs. Including Herbie & Max & Dave of Hard Rock Soul Movement. Uk pioneers for real.
Best 3 n a row...Zulu nation. Place 2 be summer of 83
I stand educated. Thanks as always
Respect bro
This is sooo dope! Love this. Thank You!
this was brilliant
Wow I didn't know guru of Gangstar remade this song learn something new everyday
Congrats to jayquan once again on His New Podcast Show !
Jay I don't know how familiar you are with the Electro compilation series on the Streetsounds label but for us in the UK they were a lifeline to what was going on back then, turns out there was a lot of 'loose licensing' going on but we - to use an old term were 'fein'ing' for them and each release was a big event, would love you to do a series covering them picking up on the more obscure entries as many of them had interesting stories being either already established acts working under pseudonyms or just shortlived crews with little available background
The Electros really captured (if accidentally) the changes as Hip Hop developed having a consistant look for Electro 1-6 (which they would return to sort of nostalgically later on) then moving to more angular geometric artwork from Electro 7 onwards - I remember The Gloves Itchiban Scratches 'it's time to change' sample repeating on Electro 7 felt like it was reflecting the changes in both the artwork and the wider movement and that was kinda true as at that time drum machines were giving way to James Brown samples and Electro funk was giving way to the more established term 'Hip Hop' (which the series would also mirror graduating From Electro 1-10 to HipHop Electro 11-16 to eventually Hip Hop 17-22
The series contains some memorable mixes too, so many readiy-recognised moments and it would make for a real cool stroll down nostalgia street hearing you break them down
Yes, I have them all. I used to buy them here as imports. Poorly mastered, but dope mixes!
Well said, the Electro series was something special here in the UK, even if some of the remixes were strange in hindsight (missing verses etc.). Many people were introduced to Hip Hop through these, where you would’ve had a slim chance of picking up these original 12”
After finishing your first "INDEPENDENTS DAY" video, I figured that I might as well watch your first "THE PERFECT RAP SONG" video.
EDIT- 2:29 P.M.: *finishes video 32 minutes later*
I had never heard of "Play That Beat Mr. DJ" until now! 😅
This was the joint
DJ whiz kid
Another dope lesson Jayquan. But when are you gonna drop that definitive Afrika Bambatta and The Soul Sonic Force lesson on us my good brother?
Soon!
I always liked that little synthesizer pad in this song, I thought it always helped that beat ride the way it did
I got the planet rock album on CD very hard to get I'm glad I got it
💎
Are there any extras or bonuses on the cd?
@@nadimovitch9237 no just the songs
@@ErickJohnson-rz5lg Thanks bro, respect.
The Jonzun Crew album on cd is hard to find (at a reasonable price).
83 is the beginning of hip hop b4 was kinda like disco
Hmmmm. The beginning of records that sounded like Hip Hop from the parks. I agree. Outside of Love Rap by Spoonie Gee no one really made any stripped down records in that first era...
For me it had to be t la rock its yours it still bangs to day
Love your work can you please do a segment of ice cubes death certificate
B boys n b girl music dope beats electro funk music 👍😎
#FACTS 222
No disrespect but I think the best hip hop group album that the best three back to back singles is Wu Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu Tang 36 Chambers. Protect ya Neck, Method Man, and Cream.
No disrespect taken. Again I was speaking of the era of 12" singles. Rap groups werent making albums in the era that I'm speaking of. As far as influence those 3 12" were powerful.
Im a big wu head but thats later an those r good songs but thats totally diferent
