Let me know if I missed anyone or if anybody should be added to the list!
believe it or not, one of the greatest jams in hiphop history. if you were a bboy from 1980-1985, your whole routine culminated with this jawn.
Indeed!
Check out Electronic Cafe - sampled that for computer start shutdown sounds.
He doesn't understand the importance to everything he now knows, bless
Damn skippy!!!!
Hip Hop Classic!!!!!!❤❤
Kraftwerk is the foundation of hip hop from the use of computers and beat structure. Trans Europe Express.
👍🏿💯
You are witnessing the exact foundation pioneering of two different major genres, Hip/Hop and Electronic music, and all of today’s DJs and electronic creators and beat makers know they stand on the shoulders of Kraftwerk! And everyone loved this when it was released, it was something new that we had never heard before, it was played on the radio, at the clubs , everywhere!
i think you’re giving too much credit to contemporary producers. you would have problems finding any under 30 year olds who’ve heard of kraftwerk. it’s not the 90’s anymore hah
@@tolstoyed It doesn't matter if people today know them, older artists know them and in turn the new artists know those older artists who knew Kraftwerk, and so on.
@@Oilerator_ sure but you said all today’s djs and producers know… they just don’t
I'm sad for the future. I find your reaction to be more evidence that today's youth has no patience or ability to grasp the art of the recent past.
I find myself coming back to this song from time to time. It's so creative, different, and unique.
To go from numbers recited in different languages in the first half to come together in the "Computer World" to make the electronic world we live in today.
To not give a track a few minutes before you fast forwarded or a second chance to make sense of what you heard is tragedy of the times we live in.
Best of luck to the future if you're unable to respect the past.
It's the fact that nobody else at the time was making music like Kraftwerk. The way the drums sound, the melodic sequences and the sounds on the synths, the vocoders, just the overall aesthetic of Kraftwerk was alien and new, and totally ahead of their time.
Even to this day; they're known as ACTUAL art, rather than a normal ''band''. THE pioneers in electronic music.
You had to be there..lol We used to be jamming to this back in the day. People don't dance no mo... They even played this on the radio in Detroit home of techno.
Its sad the Gen-Z'ers will never experience real music
Alot of young kids & young adults have ADD is part of the problem these daze! 😅
This is breakdancing music from the 1980's (though probably not by intention). Kraftwerk was from overseas but they had at least a couple of songs, including this one, that were worthy contributions to the breakdancing scene back then. Their "Trans Europe Express" song was the other classic by them. I don't recall this being a mainstream hit or anything, but got airplay on American Black radio, This was a pretty cool song back then. (Still is, at least to my ears.)
English avant-garde, synth-pop group Art of Noise (AON) was another overseas group doing electronic type songs with a street beat, that were popular on American Black radio stations, especially their quirky instrumental ballad, "Moments In Love" (at least two versions exist: AON's original 10+ minute version, and AON's more updated smooth jazz version); and breakdance bangers "Beat Box" and "Close To The Edit". Not sure if the latter two songs would be your style as they are very beats-heavy, but you might appreciate and considering reacting to at least the original "Moments In Love" as that became a long-time standard on Black Urban Contemporary radio in the '80s.
Trans Europe Express still sounds amazing now
I have a distinct memory seeing Close To The Edit (version 1) on a TV in front of store in the Village of NYC the fall of 1984. I was mesmerized by this strange video and I've never forgotten the impact it had on me. Also, all the cool cats were playing Kraftwerk Numbers on the IU campus the summer of 1981.
Us Brits always rave about 80's UK electro pop, but we owe it all to Kraftwerk. As mentioned in the other comments, alot of 80's breakdance music owes a lot to them as well. They were the original innovators of electro pop, and were revolutionary at the time. Their music hits differently today though, because their sound has been built upon and improved by other artists. So much of that originality is lost.
Pop, lock, and break dance to this.
Man Kraftwerk was the jam back then. I have this album Computer World and it is such a trip. I still think it sounds out of this world even today. If you didn't get this particular track, don't give up on them because they have some bangers. They were a huge influence on Depeche Mode and just the electronic music scene as a whole.
Numbers is a genius song - pure art. Nothing else sounds like it. That percussion. And pure bliss when it blends into "Computer World".
The secret sauce for many early B-boy mix masters - many dance battles before the breakdancing era were settled to this tune and others from Kraftwerk. (If you stop and think about it, the idea of kids from the hood diggin' in crates & making music from R&B, funk, soul jazz, and electronic music samples - including songs from these 4 German guys - was pretty remarkable. The musical universe ushered in by hip hop was just unreal...)
Beautifully said and recalled!👏🏾👏🏾☑️☑️
His reaction was beyond funny. 🤣 This was the jam back in the day. I can see how it came across to JJ though. I'm so used to it that I didn't think about how it would sound to someone else until I listened through his ears. Like someone said, you had to be there.
Reaction = 😂😅 I’m dying. Glad you looked them up tho JJammin.’
Thx for this historic request @Shawn C. T.
Tooooo many youth memories. Word.💯☑️
Old school, you know it, his reaction is/was priceless...😄...
@@ShawnC.T. 😁☑️
This song is sampled in hip hop almost 200 times. Listen to PLANET ROCK by Afrika Bambaataa. 'Numbers' sounds primitive compared to todays music production but it is an important origin for many music styles. ✌️
Soulsonic Force
Huh? This is GENIUS! It sparked the entire Techno movement
Again.....JJ you had to be there. Of course you're listening to it with 2022 ears so it makes no sense to you. This is a breakdancing classic. No one had heard anything like this before at the time.
Difficult to believe but its 2023 and this track is over 40 YEARS old.
😃😄😆🤣, I'm OTFR, sorry JJ, you had to be there at a party or skating rink back in the day to appreciate it, but believe me, I understand the generation gap when it comes to a record like this...
Ok makes sense, lol!
i've seen alot of crazy creative dancing to this song back in the day and it sounds incredible on huge speakers in a club
We were 12 when this computer song " 1st " came out. Soul Sonic Force followed.
I understand....
...now it's " old ".
I think that first song is just counting to four in German and French. Kraftwerk were pioneers of electronic music and highly influential. Electronic music as it's known today pretty much all flows out of Kraftwerk. Computer World was their fourth album released in 1981. If you're willing to take another taste, check out their songs "The Model", "Computer World", and "Showroom Dummies", or slap on their 1974 album, Autobahn, and enjoy the ride.
You got to rock Kraftwerk LOUD!!! There Grooves are Ledgendary!!! Nothing bad about Legends!!!
Electriyin' Mojo rocked the HELL outta this jam back in the Motor City. This was one of the seeds of Detroit Techno.
Kraftwerk is considered the most influencing Band, according to the Rolling Stones Magazine.
I’m from L.A. and we use to dance so hard to this!!😂. But Tour de France was my favorite!!
Your not taking into account when it was made and how the beats shaped hip hop and break dancing etc
Oh ho ho as soon the title I said uh oh how JJ is going to take this. I know how he feels about this....lol genre but for myself I was excited b-boys was pop locking but Shawn CT your cool with me.... LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣
😆👍🏼
This was a hit in all the clubs back in the early 80s. Disco,, break-dancers, hip hop rappers. Numbers was huge! Kraftwerk was one of the inventors of electronic music. Obviously most know that already. I'm glad you gave this a chance!
Kraftwerk is a legendary part of music history, and played a huge role in the days of early Hip Hop.
I would suggest you check out Trans Europe Express.
👍🏿💯
Its creative but kind of out of context. Its one track from a concept album called Computer World.
Numbers is cold, with not much soul. But so are numbers. They are calculative. They know no emotion. They are numbers.
Kraftwerks music is often about inanimate objects. It's often cold but always usually has a warmth from their lead synth melodies
the birth of electronic music
This is what we would breakdance to in the early 80's
for me, these two tracks always have to be played together, and "numbers" is the intro. computer world 2 is fucking amazing.
This was an absolute jam in NY clubs... perfect for the zone you'd be in at 2 am.
Agree it’s hard for new ears to listen to this 🎉 it has its place in early 80s. It’s so important but primitive and music has evolved so much that it’s hard to go back and listen especially a new listener (btw I love trans Europe express) 🎉
This cranked in the club. I always see in my mind thus guy I knew dancing to this. He was an awesome dancer. We had so many types of music it was ridiculous. Their song Trans Europe Express was the jam.🤗🤗💃💃
Trans Europe Express… Tour de France… whaaat? 😉
👍🏿💯
Electro funk is totally lost on you! Numbers is a foundational DJ classic. The basis for Planet Rock type beats. What a shame you can’t appreciate it. I guess you had to be there.
In the beginning, there was Kraftwerk.
🔥 🤖 🔥 sorry not sorry, but I love Kraftwerk.
Me too
This song bring back memories with house parties and male dance groups.
Dude this was before the synthetic and techno they built their own computer setups to basically invented loops ..
Definitely not the best track to start with. "Pocket Calculator" is their grooviest song.
This was a jam in Brooklyn back in the day
Many don't get that they were actually counting in different languages
I was 11 when this song came out and I remember it like it was yesterday! Such a great song
One of my favorites. I might be wrong but I think this is where Soulsonic Force got the Planet Rock beat. Also one of my favorites. Best way to hear this song is with some booming speakers. Gr8 reaction. 🎶 🎹 🎶 🖥
There's a more recent version of this track, being Numbers/Computer World from their 2017 album 3D the Catalog
That version has a stronger beat, and is more full of sound, and the transition into Computer World is so much better, definitely check it out
They were just recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Great musical band
I love the fact that your reactions are very genuine and honest. Seems like almost every other reaction channel that I visit, they tend to agree with almost everything they play,. They are essentially 'crowd pleasers' and I don't like that. You're not like that, and that's why your channel is my #1 favorite! Keep doing YOU my brother.
The pop locking and break dancing days of the 1980s
There say numbers in Japanese, German and French. And the ending was all the languages numbers sped up.
Kraftwerk spawned Electro Funk of the 80's (Afrika Bambaata and the rest)...everyone is my hood had this album. They played it at a house party and we were all like "WTF is this..and then next thing you know everyone had it" LOL when I saw that you reacted to it before even starting I was like "JJ isn't going to like this at all" lol
The other songs you heard that sounded like this was Kraftwerk too
This break beat had you pop locking and backspinning
Wonderful to see education in action.
🎹🖤🎹🖤🎹
This was a huge club hit in the early 80s. Like REALLY huge it's a classic. I can see how you didn't appreciate some of it -- this is true Techno, similar to Detroit Techno which I'm not a fan of even though I grew up in Detroit. Kraftwerk are actually from Germany 🇩🇪 There was another club song " DIN DAH DAH " that was by a German guy as well and is used in the movie Electric Boogaloo.
Supposedly this was recorded in a diving bell with high air pressure. Don't know if that is true or a rumor. I love the entire album and recommend you hearing the whole album Computer World
one of the biggest club songs ever in the 80’s , song came on and the dance floor was packed.
These guys mixed with a few cats ftom Detroit created everything
The was the beat back in the early 80’s
Kraftwerk has been sampled by so many hip hop artists it’s ridiculous. Check out Trans Europe Express. But you are sleeping on Numbers. That was the jam! They are a German band that was way ahead of their time with all the computer sounds in their songs
Kraftwerk, one of the first synthie pop bands. Coming from my country Germany. This is not the best of them, maybe you try "The model" or in German "Das Model" ? That`s much better.
It isn't a good stand alone song but its great as part of the entire concept album. Computer World, Do yourself a favor, turn off all the lights, put that album on at max volume, you may never be the same.
You missing on this one Just Jammin this started a lot of hip hop in the 80’s
You either had to have been there when it was brand new, or had parents that raised you on this music. Otherwise don't even bother. It'd be like me turning on the radio today thinkin' I'm gonna find some good music to listen to.
German Band - Explains it all...
Got to hand it to ya, I was laughing before you started your reaction. Way to hang tough kid. It's called Techno Pop it's a German thing
lol back in the day….doing the Snake to this song
I'm with you with this song, it was never a favorite of mine although it was groundbreaking in its time and was sampled extensively in the early days of hip hop. However, the album, Electric Cafe, might be more to your liking. The funky/electronic song, Techno Pop, has a wonderful groove, the Telephone is a banger and Electric Cafe, the title cut, is also great. Other songs to check out include Tour de France and one of my favorites, Vitamin. This band influenced every band using any kind of electronics, they are legendary and iconic. I hope you give them another chance. 😀
the godfather of breakdance music...georg clinten and africa bambaataa was a big fan 🙂
yes! I think Bambaataa's classic "Planet Rock" was heavily influenced by Kraftwerk.
@@leeharrison8222kraftwerk also invented a whole new kind of electronics and many musicians still sample their music today
Yay finally!
Kraftwerk = Legends
Man! Apparently, the concept of a concept album is not very familiar to you. Kraftwerk is in a way a continuation of European art music, works composed for a symphony orchestra. Pink Floyd is similar. The concept album is one work, the songs unfold in relation to other songs, contrasts are important. Of course, you can listen to a song from that and another from here, but then something important might be missing. If I remember correctly, one of the members of Kraftwerk once said something like that, that Kraftwerk is a composition of beautiful European melodies and, on the other hand, Stockhausen's modernism AND Funk.
This was a jam back in the day. It was all of the R&B charts along with their song Trans Europe Express. Now my negative...If you are reacting to a payed request, I'm not sure it's a good thing to fast forward. They are paying you to play the song. Also, the reason you could not understand is they were talking in German and counting in various languages including Japanese hence the title "Numbers".
Dang, you just skipped the whole Computer World part where they were singing XD
Okay I remember this record by Kraftwerk but I love me some TRANS EUROPE EXPRESS..... 🚝🚅🚄 Trans Europe Express
this was one of those game changer tracks. in the context of the time it came out, it was hugely popular in clubs and among break dancers. it's been sampled to death too. like certain jokes, I guess you had to be there. 😀
It’s gotta be put into context tho.
They really were trying to create the future.
Listen to this then go back to PAC Jam by the Jonzun Crew

Good morning,
May I suggest an incredible and UNIQUE artist? His name’s Stromae. Here are a few of his artworks (they genuinely are): (Racine carrée Album, 2013) Papaoutai, Tous les mêmes, Formidable, Ta fête, Carmen, Quand c’est, Ave Cesaria.
(Multitude Album, 2022): Fils de joie, L’enfer, Santé, La solassitude.
No further details, I sincerely believe one needs to discover and dive into Stromae’s universe through his music (writing, composition, arrangement, production are all his) before doing some digging about him.
Important detail: not only the piece of music but also the lyrics and the music video are essential, they’re a whole, so make sure you choose the original music video for each song.
Hope you’ll enjoy!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
In the meantime, happy new year & take care!
🙏🏼🌟🫶🏼
Tour De France by Kraftwerk
B Boy Anthem right here
Ground floor dance floor electronics. Great song request.
I had that album ( vinyl)
whoever recommended it to you should have pointed out the year of publication. there were still a few years before techno existed
Yo man u r so Late!!!! Man u betta get wit it, Kraftwerk is da Shyt. ELECTRIC CAFE IS SO DOPE
It's ok he doesn't have to like everything we enjoyed. I appreciated his honesty instead he being fake I watched JJ long enough with this genre he really not into it.
Hi JJ! I love when "sometimes" U do a "politically correct" reaction. 🤣🤣! Niiiice request Mister C.T.! Most of the requesters know that electro isn't JJ's cup of tea! FYI, if I would have requested this song JJ would have eviscerated me. Peace! 😂😂😂😂!
LOL
😆👍🏼
Peace back at you, lol!
@@JustJammin 👍🏾
These guys were laying the grown work for hip hop and rap. For a person who is good at writing lyrics, especially rap, these sounds would bring out so many ideas. But for some people they just hear the sound and enjoy it raw which is also amazing because it’s electronic music.
I would suggest listening to their live album Minimum/Maximum. The songs sound awesome on that!
KRAFTWERK are considered one of the GOD fathers of Electronic Music and New Wave music starting in the late 1970's. Their influence is immeasurable. Nothing like this had been heard of at the time. Go listen to the Live version of Numbers which isn't as Monotone.
one of my top ten tracks. best electronic musicians for me
Jackson 5 hum along an dance.
You stopped at the best part...the break
Try yellow magic orchestra computer world
You need to develop an attention span...Kraftwerk reward patience.
I have one it's just I didn't really care for this one too much, not my style.
@@JustJammin Fair enough. Each to their own. Check out the song Computer Love, or The Model. More straightforward electropop/dance. Google their influence on Hip-hop, dance and electronic music. Years ahead of the musical pack. They're possibly the most influential band in modern musical history.
Much of what Kraftwerk does involves repetition and the subtle building of layers. The result seems simple until you actively listen and break down what is actually going on. They produce complex melodic pieces that will stick in your brain. The concept of using repetition is kinda Zen-like. If you surrender to it and don't expect dramatic drops it's immensely rewarding. It's a whole different style of listening to what mainstream music has programmed us to do.
This is hip hop nothing weird about it
It wouldn’t have been bad to if you were familiar with Krathwerk’s music the are considered the fathers of Electronic music
Especially early 80s Electro Hip Hop
Like the African Bambatta and Soul Sonic Force’s Planet Rock (which is based off of Krathwerk’s Trans Europe Express) and Looking for the Perfect Beat
Who ever suggested you react to Krathwerk most definitely should’ve suggested their song Trans Europe Express as a first listen because that the song released in 1977 that got the Black community and Early Hip Hop community on to Krathwerk’s music
Influencing The Soul Sonic Force, Planet Patrol, and Nucleus
among many others in early 80’s Electro Hip Hop
I’m not sure how you take reaction requests but I would like to give you one give you one
The Electro Hip Hop group Nucleus ( from Jam On It fame )
Has a song called Computer Age (Push the Button)..based off of this Krathwerk song and it’s a perfect example of what you get when you marry cold German Electronic music with Funky New York Hip Hop ( Planet Rock is too but I’m sure you know that one )
Nucleus’s Computer Age not only rocks but it’s almost prophetic in it’s warning of how the burgeoning Computer age in the early 80s could in the future go wrong
And as we can see now in 2022 how Social media via the internet can divide whole nations against each other and algorithms used in medical technology can make life and death decisions for average people lead to disparities by race and income levels
Believe I don't think JJ wouldn't care for trans Europe express either may think its cool for the sound effects. I've watch JJ long enough and he really don't care for this genre now there are exceptional he liked. Buts it's ok he doesn't have to care for what we had enjoyed he is being honest with his opinion I appreciate it
@@sugarspice1689 perhaps he wouldn’t like TEE
But there’s nothing wrong with giving kicking him some extra knowledge about the music he reacts to
Hell if this was the first song I heard of Krathwerk’s I’d have the same reaction he did
But it wasn’t it was TEE and that how I gained perspective on what they were about allowing me to appreciate them and those influenced by them
If nothing else my comment gives him a little musical history which helps inform him of the music folks are requesting he react to
I think JJ’s reaction channel is THE BEST of all the Reaction channels and I totally appreciate his honest reactions
But I don’t feel the need to passively watch and say nothing or not give context or history to the reactions
After all there is a comments section so it’s a two way street
He reacts we comment and I’ve watched him long enough to know he can handle it and appreciates it
@@162berto no there nothing wrong with you giving the history I was just saying the genre of music is not his thing usually
@@sugarspice1689 how about going to change your diapers first before you talk about music 🤣
They stink
You had to be there.
