1988 was a crazy money making time. This was a part of the soundtrack. We felt unstoppable. DB RIP

[@annakolanen2009]

i´m almost 60 and I love hip hop/rap and this is classic

[@gowmitch069]

I still remember seeing him in concert, October 1988 Brixton Academy, warming up for Public Enemy and Run Dmc, still have ticket stub, it was a great night

[@markmoz]

I caught the show at the Manchester Apollo. Derek opened and brilliantly set the tone for the evening.

[@darrenjones5533]

I saw same lineup in Nuremberg that year, still have pics.

[@realest-12]

Was silver bullet in the line up?

[@gowmitch069]

[@ALLMONEYMINDSET]

I remember when this came out... It was impressive to hear London putting it down like that.

[@josephlawson200]

Corey W. Scales totally agree

[@erdevon3257]

Awesome. Then in the 90's we had the phenomenal silver bullet

[@madpenguin9402]

If you listened to this you also listened to Young MC, Roachford, Doug E Fresh, Roxanne Shante and all that good stuff.

[@QBall5568]

... and you probably collected the Streetsounds Electro / Hip Hop LPs

[@afganno3385]

@@QBall5568 wish i still had all mine. i was 10 when i got my first streetsounds release back in 84.

[@patmackie3499]

Bad ass tune from the bad ass Derek B..

[@michaeljames6953]

That bit between 02:10 and 02:29 is IMHO one of the best pieces of sound production ever made.

[@damionbrooker715]

I must agree!!!
The sampling of old school jams like this is what I’ve loved forever - about to turn 54 years old and this music keeps me young!!!!
Miss you DB

[@mr.sunrise3933]

You helped us break down the doors Derek B.

[@andysparks1973]

Derek b hit the mainstream really early

[@sugarrush1927]

I managed to record it on VHS on one of the Saturday morning kids show when I was about 10. I had it on rewind till I learnt the lyrics. Then went on to get the Dugee Fresh show LP. Then I was hooked

[@SIMON2500065]

Legend RIP Derrick…

[@Koala.Prepz.13]

I still enjoy listening to this track!! Great opening hooks you from the start!

[@princedonnylittledonny328]

Derek B old skool hard RIP Derek B

[@l34052]

Wicked, ive not heard this in more than 2 decades!!
Derek B was very cool for the time, its a real tragedy he died so young.
I spose Derek B along with Blade were the genesis for British hop hop although the general masses prob never even heard of Blade.

[@MISTER.MAN.]

Us true hip hop heads have in fact we watched him live in Sheffield,he was such a character even had a pint with us after.✌️

[@omerta2002]

Blade is the UK's finest ever MC imo.

[@Audiosonicity]

Top of a top notch, peace and R.I:P. Master !!

[@therealjohnreeves]

Miss Derek B 😞

[@BlueSmurf10]

Definitely the coolest man ever to be called Derek.

[@derekstulce2023]

[@user-tp2vm1dg7g]

I was at school i was 10 years old and put his tape into the French teachers tape recorder and when she played it this came on instead of the French we was learning 😂i got sent out of the classroom 😂

[@samsneed7172]

I borrowed this record to some prick in the 80's and still hasn't given it back

[@BradSh0rt]

I ached for a credible UK artist around this time. . He got the closest! Sorted now. But him and Rebel MC got me going when I was listening to Run, Jay and Ice T

[@charlesnwogu171]

Derek is a legend I met derek in Bentleys Canning Town in 1983/84he was learning the Dj ropes with The legend foggy who is also no longer with us what a guy even at 18 he looked up from the twin decks and said Charles watch me get to the top and he did R.I.P Derek Boland Always in our minds

[@aynako1538]

The TH-cam algorithm recommended another Derek B song earlier today ("Bullet from a Gun"). The thumbnail was the album cover and something looked so familiar about it. After hearing a few songs I realized I actually had this CD back in the late 80s. It was crazy to hear these songs again after so long.
