I needed this too. I needed a reminder of a time when people were enjoying life instead of getting hung up over every little thing. We had a great youth. Man do I miss those days.
Wayne Gretzky said that. Also, Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers plays bass on this song. It's infectious. We ALL got out on the dance floor when this one came on.
It was all in his amazing playing, head thrashing and the teddy bear pants back then. Had a similar video view experience just today, so I can relate to the "wha the...?" moment.
Young MC's parents are Jamaican! 🇯🇲 He also has an Economics degree from USC (which my brother liked to point out to my parents whenever they complained about this song, LOL)
"Me Myself and I" - De La Soul, "Rollin' With Kid N' Play" - Kid N' Play, and "Ain't My Type of Hype" - Full Force are more similar jammin' classics from 1989.
YESSSS!!!! Now I feel like you need to check out some Tone Loc! "Funky Cold Medina" and "Wild Thing" for sure! Since you're vibing with Young MC I'm sure you'll dig some Tone Loc!!
EPMD- "So Wat Cha Sayin'" A Tribe Called Quest- "Can I Kick It?" and "Scenario". Onyx- "Slam". Kurtis Blow- "The Breaks". Eric B & Rakim- "Microphone Fiend". Big Daddy Kane- "Warm it Up".
Oh yeah!!! The good ol' days! Jamming to this and heavy metal music on our way to the clubs!! Man, I miss those days!! Have you reacted to 'It Takes Two' by Rob Bass??
KID N PLAY! KID N PLAY! KID N PLAY! Good clean hip hop from the late 80s, early 90s. They starred in several movies together.....Popular on the level of MC HAMMER, had their own dolls, cereal and PLAY designed clothing (I think he was one of the first rappers to do it)!! They are LEGENDS!!! Love their music....
i love how much you’re into this song! Man this brings me back to junior high school dances... also after all these years I had no idea flea played bass and was in this music video! 🤯
I love this cute, fun rap by Young MC. This song was release in 1989. I loved that area of fun rap with performers like Tone Loc, Biz Markie, Heavy D...etc. That's Flea from the Red Hot Chill Peppers on guitar! This was his biggest hit and its a classic!
Arrested development..yes, they are fantastic, also Everyday People was one of my favorite songs in college(has an awful word in it). I think there is a regular tempo version and a club or faster version....I'm going to listen to it now. Mr. Wendall is also good.
Young MC went to my high school- a "magnet school" for top math, science, art and english students in NYC. I was a year ahead of him but didn't know him. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is the daughter of one of our social studies teachers. Cynthia Nixon from Sex in the City was in my grade and I had a few classes with her. Rapper Actor Lin-Manuel Miranda who wrote and starred in the Broadway show Hamilton also went to my school
Can I remember my Google password? Uhhh... Can I remember every word to this song that came out when I was eight? No problem, "Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry..." 🙈
The breakdown part of this song is a sample of a song from 1972 called "Scorpio"!! The artist behind "Scorpio" is Dennis Coffey & The Detroit Guitar Band. "Scorpio" was a crossover r&b hit. It peaked on the Billboard Top 10 on both the pop and the soul charts. Awesome song, indeed!!!
so many hip hop songs came out in '89 that set the stage for the golden age of '90's hip hop. this is foundation rap and hip hop at its finest. hip hop doesn't have to be vulgar to be great.
Too funny, I just heard this one today and wanted to mention it to you! A personal favorite! Recognize the bass player? It's Flea from The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
That summer and year of music for 1989 was epic. All you need to do is look at the Billbard top 100 for 1989 and start at #1 and go down. The mixture of music that year was amazing.
Howdy, I remembered another club song from the early 90s, late 80s. "Finally" by CeCe Peniston. I also recommend Tone Loc & CC Music Factory...ha ha...again. I took a dance class at community college in '91/'92 and had to learn a choreographed dance to "Finally." It was awful. Ha ha. This song got a lot of radio play and the video has 37M views. Thanks for doing another Billy Idol song. Adam Ant's "Goody Two Shoes" is another along the vein of "quite a character!" Enjoy your evening.
Back in Grade 10, when this was fresh on the radio, we said "Move it Boy" like at the end of the song, and we still say it today !!! Gotta check out "The Principal's Office", also by Young MC. It was the second song that made it big.
Your reaction is exactly what it should be! I was 19 when the song came out, living in Miami, I grew up in Miami. This song out of the gate is an amazing song and it still is.
Yeah, this was a huge hit in '89, played all over the place. I can still recite all the words. It was a hit at about the same time as Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's "It Takes Two" was all over the place, and I liked to listen to both of those with Def Jef's "Droppin' Rhymes on Drums."
This dude wrote all of Tone-Loc's hits as well. Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers is also playing bass in the video. The white kid skateboarding/guy the girl jumped on in the theater also appeared as a skater in Gleaming The Cube with Christian Slater.
People keep saying this shit to get likes, but it's not true. You are suffering from selection (confirmation) bias. There was (and had been throughout history) foul language and sexual or violent acts in art, forever. _You_ just weren't there to experience it. And there is still a majority of art today that is not obscene or reliant on shocking imagery. _You_ are just ignoring all those cases to seek confirmation for what you think is an actual general trend. Learn some actual history (and statistical reasoning) for fucks' sake, and stop saying stupid shit 'cause it's popular to do so.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself Oh boy, Mr Soapbox is here... It's called POP CULTURE, rocket surgeon, anyone can dig up foul language music from any generation - but stop acting like there's always been fucking gangster rap & trap-like music "forever". Shit, it's not like it's a coincidence that this music literally grew as drug trafficking grew.
The album this came from is pretty good, -Fastest rhyme -i come off -roll with the punches -pick up the pace -got more rhymes -stone cold buggin -just say no "You miss 100% of the shots you dont take" it might of come from former nba player jay williams, if it wasnt him, he popularised it.
so glad you got this one :) Young MC is one the most underrated , and one of the GOAT story tellers . What most don't know he was the ghost writer for "Tone Loc", and had multiple hits at the same time . Unfortunately for these artists ,gangster rap exploded , and fun/ dancing rap lost popularity over night

I needed this too. I needed a reminder of a time when people were enjoying life instead of getting hung up over every little thing. We had a great youth. Man do I miss those days.
Amen
So true. I feel bad for our kids. It's a hard time to be growing up, especially trying to plan for a better future.
We lived at the best time...that’s why we’re important...stick around we have lots to teach still
Right? This is just such great vibes! I teared up a little really..
Amen again
Wayne Gretzky said that.
Also, Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers plays bass on this song. It's infectious. We ALL got out on the dance floor when this one came on.
Now I know why it grooves so hard!
Even those of us who straight up can't dance.
I actually was too young to realize it was flea at the time. Just watched the video and mind was blown 😳
I was looking for this...or should I say, I was looking for someone who credited the quote to Michael Jordan. Well done. Love that dirty water!
You can tell its Flea the way he moves lol
Holy shit! Is that Flea?! Wtf? In all the years that I've seen this video I have never once realized that was Flea! Amazing 😂
Never paid attention to that either, but his moves are unmistakable.
Same, awestruck.
Wow. Never noticed that either lol, and I watched it many times when it was on MTV...
Same here. Mandela Effect? Lol
It was all in his amazing playing, head thrashing and the teddy bear pants back then. Had a similar video view experience just today, so I can relate to the "wha the...?" moment.
Young MC's parents are Jamaican! 🇯🇲 He also has an Economics degree from USC (which my brother liked to point out to my parents whenever they complained about this song, LOL)
Check out Funky Cold Medina, by Tone Loc from 1989.
This was probably the most played hip-hop song of 1989.
“Wild Thing” by Tone Loc was the other big one that year. You should react to that one
Marvin Young AKA "Young MC" was one of the song writers for "Wild Thing"
Both produced by The Dust Bros.
7th grade. Two songs that will always place me right back at that time.
@@John_Locke_108 I was also in 7th grade when these songs dropped. Great days!
Funky Cold Medina!
"Me Myself and I" - De La Soul, "Rollin' With Kid N' Play" - Kid N' Play, and "Ain't My Type of Hype" - Full Force are more similar jammin' classics from 1989.
Kid n play "getting funky"
Kid n Play - 2 Hype
Young MC wrote both of Tone Loc's hits. Wild Thing and Funky Cold Medina
Good to know.
I didn't know that..cool.
I did not know that...but if he wrote 3 hits why give away 2 and then not be able to write another hit?🤔 Weird.
This is my Jam!!!! I love when you hear a song and it just makes you happy 😃 like this.
In love the entire album- The song “Loc’ed after dark” is a jam too!!
Jay you're gonna have to check out Tone Loc "Wild Thing" and " Funky Cold Medina" and M.A.R.R.S. "Pump Up the Volume"
Tone Loc ASAP do it bust a move
I love this song😆😆😆
Yeah..tone lol review for sure
TOOOOOOOONE ! Soooo funny. Heck yeah. Biz Marky too!!!! 😛
Yessssss
This guy was absolutely innovative at the time. You can't sit still when this song comes on!
Time to do Cameo - “Word Up!”
I hope he takes it into consideration
Yes!!!!!
And “Candy,” yo!!! Then throw in “Rumours” by Timex Social Club and “Object of My Desire” by Starpoint and ya got the trifecta of 80s smooth👍🏾
Absolutely.
@@DC05570 Spin it DJ!!!😁
YESSSS!!!! Now I feel like you need to check out some Tone Loc! "Funky Cold Medina" and "Wild Thing" for sure! Since you're vibing with Young MC I'm sure you'll dig some Tone Loc!!
Totally agree. Tone Loc is crazy! I love him! Those two songs are CLASSICS!
@@jennhurl Right!?? I'm sure he will enjoy them!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!
@@ronnieluv He definitely will! He's GOTTA do both songs though! You can't have Funky Cold Medina without Wild Thing & visa versa! 🤣
@@jennhurl so true!!!!
This song was such a big hit back in the day!!! Loved jamming to this! Bringing back great memories!! 👌👍🙌
He should do some Tone Loc.. Wild thing or funky cold medina.
@@thisisisabella3634 How about both?
Yea 89!! The year I graduated!! THE BEST YEAR EVER!! This song was off the chain back in the day lol🤣❤💯 Love your reaction!!
EPMD- "So Wat Cha Sayin'"
A Tribe Called Quest- "Can I Kick It?" and "Scenario".
Onyx- "Slam".
Kurtis Blow- "The Breaks".
Eric B & Rakim- "Microphone Fiend".
Big Daddy Kane- "Warm it Up".
This song gets everyone moving.
If you don’t move when this comes on, something is wrong with you. Love it!!!!

De La Soul "Me, Myself & I" and "Stakes Is High"

I second this. You will thank us!
I'm part of the minority that thinks Morris Day was the best part of the movie Purple Rain.
@@rennnyyy lol.
@@rennnyyy Morris came out with that lean back and the Gold jacket. Good tunes, good movies and good times.
Lol this song is just........ what can i say Now please do M.A.R.R.S. "Pump up the volume"

Pump up the volume was an ultra cool song.
Oh yeah!!! The good ol' days! Jamming to this and heavy metal music on our way to the clubs!! Man, I miss those days!! Have you reacted to 'It Takes Two' by Rob Bass??
Uh-oh! Uncle Buck has arrived at the party. He's looking to squash a "bug." ; )
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
KID N PLAY! KID N PLAY! KID N PLAY! Good clean hip hop from the late 80s, early 90s. They starred in several movies together.....Popular on the level of MC HAMMER, had their own dolls, cereal and PLAY designed clothing (I think he was one of the first rappers to do it)!!

React to:
Arrested Development- "Tennessee" and their other hit song "People Everyday"
Or mr wendel is a great one from arrested development
Arrested Development "Tennessee"
Arrested development..yes, they are fantastic, also
Everyday People was one of my favorite songs in college(has an awful word in it). I think there is a regular tempo version and a club or faster version....I'm going to listen to it now. Mr. Wendall is also good.
whoops People Everyday, Arrested Development
Fishin’ For Religion slaps too!
Positive K “I got a man”. You won’t regret it.
The System-Don't Disturb This Groove. You'd enjoy it
100%. Thanks for the reminder!
I love that song.😊
Yessssss!
Young MC went to my high school- a "magnet school" for top math, science, art and english students in NYC. I was a year ahead of him but didn't know him. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is the daughter of one of our social studies teachers. Cynthia Nixon from Sex in the City was in my grade and I had a few classes with her. Rapper Actor Lin-Manuel Miranda who wrote and starred in the Broadway show Hamilton also went to my school
Meanwhile, our saluditorian immediately quit school and got married.
This song was EVERYTHING back then! Every school dance, party, wedding, everybody would dance to this.
Just the instrumental alone is dope + his flow = 😎👍
Now this is what I’m talking about. Classic jam from the late 80s/early 90s.
TON of play on the radio! The lyrics, the flow, the dancing, and Flea on bass! IMHO one of the best ‘80s songs.
Infinitely cooler than any song today. Makes me want to watch Uncle Buck again.
This will always be my jam and is still one of my workout songs
Oh man! Jay you’re on point tonight ❣️ This 👆🏻 will always be hitting!
Old school rap and a very nice touch when a woman’s voice chimes in..love this! Classic!
Always loved this song. This, Push It and the Humpty Dance are three that always get me moving.
Tone Loc "Funky Cold Medina" or "Wild Thing" or both!
I second Morris Day and the Time
Oh we oh we oh 🦅🦅🦅
Ice Cream Castles... such a great album. 💜💜💜
Jungle Love!
Yes!
What Time is it?????
Old white lady here and I LOVE this song! It was one of the dance songs at my first wedding in the early 90s.
Wayne Gretzky said that..Proud Canadian here!
Watching you shine just made my day!
Amazing song! Thanks for reacting❤
The smile on your face says it all. Best song, so catchy!
If you haven't yet, definitely check out Tone Loc! Wild Thing and Funky Cold Medina are a must!
Love this song..Great reaction too.
Young MC was very underrated. His album did well. The dude is smart like genius IQ so his flow was nice bigger vocab.
Can I remember my Google password? Uhhh... Can I remember every word to this song that came out when I was eight? No problem, "Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry..." 🙈
Young MC's whole album was classic hip hop. Stone Cold Rhymin probably one of the best lyrical albums of the 80's
1989 ! I was 17 and I remember this like it was yesterday but damn I’m old now!
U should check out “Just a Friend “ by Biz Markie
100% agreed!
Definitely!!!
One of the worst songs ever...so naturally it was my favorite, back in the day. Had the cassingle lol
🤣 Yes! I love that song!
RIP.
When this song came on in the clubs, no one was sitting down!! Dance floor packed!!
I really love watching you react. You seem like a genuinely super kind nice person!
This song was played a lot in night clubs and on the radio. It was one of my very favorite songs to “Bust a move” on the dance floor!!!
LMAO! Love this song, came out when I was 19 and yes, we were wearing it out in the clubs in Nuremberg WEST Germany, lol!!
Please react to “I Got A Man” by Positive K (90s hip hop).
I firgot about that song.
One of my favorites 😁
Yes!
this song uses to play over and over at the malls, like at the clothing stores, hair salons and more, it's a very old school jam song!
Another reason me you should check out is ‘I Wish’ by Skee Lo that came out in 1995
Yeah J! You are on a roll tonight bringing back great memories.
Loooove this song
This song came out when I was 14. I loved when it came on the radio or MTV... I would say this song word for word. Its such a fun song!
The breakdown part of this song is a sample of a song from 1972 called "Scorpio"!! The artist behind "Scorpio" is Dennis Coffey & The Detroit Guitar Band. "Scorpio" was a crossover r&b hit. It peaked on the Billboard Top 10 on both the pop and the soul charts. Awesome song, indeed!!!
Past time for some De La Soul “Eye Know” & “Me, Myself & I” and Arrested Development “Mr. Wendell” “People Everyday” “Tennessee”
Yaaaassss lol...such a nostalgic song...so many moments with this song...good times..
I remember this song from "The Blind Side".
so many hip hop songs came out in '89 that set the stage for the golden age of '90's hip hop. this is foundation rap and hip hop at its finest. hip hop doesn't have to be vulgar to be great.
My favorite song from my childhood - first song I fully memorized. And it still gets me moving when it comes on.
This hit huge and was played everywhere. It is also one of those tracks that never got overplayed. All these years later, its still a hoot
Too funny, I just heard this one today and wanted to mention it to you! A personal favorite! Recognize the bass player? It's Flea from The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Man i had forgot Flea did the bass for this song, rocking them pants 🤣🤣🤣

Lita Ford - Kiss me deadly. Thanks for taking us on the 80s journey. You'll love this one. Lita is 🔥. 👏👏👏
This song was played a lot in the early 90's, I think it even won the Grammy the year it came out.
This was the jammmm 🎶
Gets me on the dance floor everytime. Always a request at wedding receptions when I dj’d.
Yes! We threw down to this back in the day! Gotta get into some Tone Loc! “Funky Cold Medina” and Loc’ed after dark” to start- Entire album 🔥 💜✌️
Back in Grade 10, when this was fresh on the radio, we said "Move it Boy" like at the end of the song, and we still say it today !!! Gotta check out "The Principal's Office", also by Young MC. It was the second song that made it big.
Great funky beat . . . . . . . . 🎵
Your reaction is exactly what it should be! I was 19 when the song came out, living in Miami, I grew up in Miami. This song out of the gate is an amazing song and it still is.
Was just in the LA area for two weeks and heard this 3 times on the radio, cause it still holds up. And you can never forget Flea on bass.
“You want it, Baby, you got it” freakin catchy
Yeah, this was a huge hit in '89, played all over the place. I can still recite all the words. It was a hit at about the same time as Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's "It Takes Two" was all over the place, and I liked to listen to both of those with Def Jef's "Droppin' Rhymes on Drums."
His debut album Stone Cold Rhymin' is an absolute classic...all killer no filler.
This dude wrote all of Tone-Loc's hits as well. Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers is also playing bass in the video. The white kid skateboarding/guy the girl jumped on in the theater also appeared as a skater in Gleaming The Cube with Christian Slater.
I jammed this CD so much. So, much I could do the fastest rap.
This song was a staple of my elementary school dances. The place would go crazy when bust a move came on.
This song is what we call a true classic.
Loved this song and knew every word.

Born in London to Jamaican parents.You're related Jay!😍🌴
The show My Name is Earl plays this many times in many episodes. Everyone stopped and danced when this song came on. It really is a great classic.
Funky cold medina is a must
The album this came from is pretty good,
-Fastest rhyme
-i come off
-roll with the punches
-pick up the pace
-got more rhymes
-stone cold buggin
-just say no
"You miss 100% of the shots you dont take" it might of come from former nba player jay williams, if it wasnt him, he popularised it.

I haven't heard this in soooooo long. Trying to figure out why I never noticed Flea was playing bass in this. Cool!🤩🤩
Awesome memory Javon! I love seeing you enjoy the pure fun we experienced back in the day with these classics 💕😊
I'm loving these throwback reactions. Keep them coming, my youth is being relived through this channel. About time I subscribed.
