Lyrics:
Riggidy-raow, Ziggidy Gadzuks, Here I go, so
Fliggedy-flame on, g-geronimo, yo
I biggedy-burn riggedy-rubber when I blabber great
I miggedy-make the Wonder Twins deactivate
It's crazy, I'm biggedy-breakin' backs and bustin' lips
I friggedy-freaked Gladys Knight and those freakin' Pips
Shrimps, I miggedy-make enough noise like Bamm-Bamm
Throw boulders from Bedrock you'll get dropped, I slam man
So check it
I riggedy-wreck it quick, aw shucks
I giddedy-got the big ducks like Daddy Warbucks
I riggedy-rocked the coca-cabana
Banana split
{HACK-THO} Spit, so sit
I friggedy-freak it from here to Bangladesh
I riggedy-rippin' flesh plus I get fresh like this
Swish, swiggedy-swooshed kid, you'll get it done
Swooshed for fun, I riggedy-rhyme like no one
I biggedy-bum riggedy-rush chiggedy-chumps, I'm savage
I shake 'em up and down like the Down Jones Average
I'm cocky, like Rocky, I biggedy-bangs the best
So tiggedy-tell your friend, chump, 'cause here comes Das EFX
A-higgedy-hoy there matey, I giggedy-gots to flow
My Saturday nights are live-er than Joe Piscopo
So yo, siggedy-save the bait for Charlie Tuna
See I be the boogie banger, like Esiason's the Boomer
I'm higgedy-hots to trot, I giggedy-gots the motts
Jewels plus dreads, so toots, call me Goldilocks
I ciggedy-catch the scoop from Peter Jennings
Do a spin like the mag and I slide like Peggy Fleming
Or a smiggedy-smack a fag and choke 'em up until he squeals
I Hawiian punched the Captain and now I'm maxing with Tenille
I piggedy-pack steel, I got a big gun
I'm freaking the track from Brooklyn, yo, 'cause Brooklyn's where I'm from
Tiggedy-time to get buck wild
Call me Butterfingers, 'cause I dippedy-drop 'nuff styles
Iggedy eeny meeny miney moe
Shiggedy-bop, bap I'll snatch a rapper by his toe
I riggedy-write my pages when I figgedy-feel the flavor
I fliggedy-fly the friendly skies, so now I be a sky pager
I friggedy-freaked the funka
The rough Nestle Cruncher, word to Arch Bunker
Give me the mike and I'll liggedy-light it up like Uncle Fester
Microphone checka, one two checka
I tiggedy take no shorts, I'm not the fella
I can even act: Stella, Stella
Yo Stella, here ciggedy-comes the bum rush, maybe
No Static, I niggedy-knows more kids than um, Bebe
So higgedy-hey hey hey not Dwayne but I got props
I biggedy-bust rhymes like Slick Rick busts shots
So when I friggedy-freaks the funk, I'll be the ill funk freaka
I stiggedy-stole an apple from this bum named Bonita
So riggedy-rub-a-dub I got the lip to make ya flip
Bustin heads with Erik Sherman and my man Parish Smith
Kiggedy-kiss my grits, check the jingle
I diggedy-don't bruise but snooze like Rip Van Winkle
So twinkle, twinkle, twinkle little star
I sliggedy-slam dunk like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Numbskull, I piggedy-pump up like Reebok Pumps
I friggedy-freak the stuff that makes a camel lose his humps, chumps
So wiggedy-where's the beef, um chief
He figgedy-fits the mold like the gold that's on his teeth
I rocks 'em, I socks 'em, I drops 'em, ah-choo
So riggedy-ready sit down, hut one, hut two
I diggedy dot my i's, and cross my tiggedy-t's, bro
I swiggedy-swing more action than Hawaii Five-O

![Das EFX - Real Hip Hop (Official Video) [Explicit]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LvNOVqaz75c/mqdefault.jpg)
This new age don’t understand that hip hop was rooted in lyrics. Their lyrics and delivery was amazing!
Exactly
That EPMD family tree was legendary. Those real hip-hop fans know what I’m talking about.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes I do that was real hip hop👍🏾💯
EPMD are Smooth..
I dont think people realize how talented these 2 are. Their delivery is on another level.
Exactly
They deserve their flowers for contributing to paving the way for hip hop
Das Efx deserves more credit for their contribution to Hip-Hop!
I totally agree!!!🤙
Figgity Fax!!!!!
You dont say? They fronted a billi of whack
.....and then some
What they really deserve is more recognition for they did for the sewers. TMNT get all the credit, but Das EFX really made the underground their home.
Loved this style of rap. Nobody can emulate this.
Not even Busta Rhymes? I’d bet he was inspired by Busta.
@@BrianSapp945Das started 3 years before Busta
@@BrianSapp945When das Efx was out people were stealing their style left and right. There was 1 das Efx
Busta had his own raspy style.
Das image revolve around raw, sewer, timberlands, ruggedness of hip hop
They may have been among the first but to say nobody can emulate this is just wrong. There are plenty of examples, both old and new. The Fu-Schnickens for example entered the scene at the same time as Das EFX and rocked the same style and word acrobatics, just faster. And recently - do you know this guy who calls himself "Rap is a Martial Art" ?
If you pay attention to the lyrics, they were spittin bars.
Bro they was spittin more than bars, they were spittin dimes every time!
Yes they were their lyrics was fire there bars was crazy and there flow was unique nobody had that kind of flow they were killing that rap game with that flow fire
useda replay verses 100 times to learn what they was saying n sing along on tape
Lord have mercy this WAS and STILL IS the JAM!!! I play this loudly in my car at the young age of 57yrs. This stuff out today is noooooo comparison!
When Das EFX came on the scene...this song was playing on the radio everywhere. This is still one of my favorites
Mine too
Real masters of the true hip hop. It was a joy to grow up hearing music like this.
The Golden Era was the best era in Hip Hop .
"I biggedy-bum, riggedy-rush, chiggedy-chumps, I'm savage
I shake 'em up and down like, the DOW Jones Average" 🎤🔥
The stuff legends are made of.💯
Only a GOD ( GENERATOR, OPERATOR AND DESTROYER) can manifest these type of BARS!
These two not only could Rap but also not saying anything about killing or pimpin ,they majored in English in college .Underated as hell
Yes
Yas!
They don’t know.this is real rap real hip hop
Exactly!!!!
I can't believe people in the comments call this gibberish?!?! It is not, they are lyrically taking bits and pieces of Pop culture from the 70s and 80s and making it into a song about themselves, taking bits of shows and commercials like Sampling but with words from old TV. GENIUS
Yeah. If people read the lyrics that they provide here, you can tell they're not speaking gibberish. I'm picking up on stuff now that I didn't get when this was first released. A lot of it goes over people's heads.
@@Freewarrior2 If you're old enough you don't need to read the lyrics. lol
@Molly M. when they came out I was only 14 years old. Many of the references you may understand, but there are some that, as you grow older, there are other you pick up on.
Most people hear the pop culture references, but in the middle of that they're throwing bars, left and right. That's why having the lyrics on hand are useful, especially regarding their style of rap. It's similar to Twista.
Theses brothers brought a whole new feel to hip hop when they came out. They were what we called DOPE back then
This is beautiful 😍
90's hip hop the best
They were one of the illest duos in the 90s
PREACH
Big facts!
100 ‰
What more can you ask for from the 90s , I wish we could go back in time.
Fasho indeed some of the North and East coast Best
I remembered that I was privileged to see them with Onyx at the Jamaica Queens Coliseum in 1993. One love to all my real peeps and everyone in the States. God bless America 🙏.
Das EFX is the only duo to rap and cover all major television commercials and TV sitcoms from the 70s-1980s. I was about 22 when this hit came out and had the album on cassette tape.
Their plan of attack was Genius Period.
Me too 👍🏾💯
Used to play the hell out of this album
shit..... I still do
I was 20 years old in the Navy station in Japan when this album came out classic album still play it today
I was 13 hiding my rap tapes from my church loving foster mom bumpin this shit
92 I was 22 in the Navy stationed in Norfolk. This was fire 🔥!! Now the Alphas step to this!!!
My dad said he saw them at club concert in Charlotte NC in 1991.
30 years ago, timeless. More lyrics in one song then modern rappers have in a whole ablum.
This is real hip hop
The creators of the Iggety style
For shiggety
Das Efx was a genius. He changed hip hop forever. when this came out it sounded like somethng from space.
he shook up hip hop and with other great rappers laid the foundation lot of later rappers
.
Most documentaries give credit to the WU, in 93, for transcending the racial divide . As a white guy from NY, It was 91 and it was Das Efx all the way. Thank you Dray & Skoob for being my alarm clock.
"I biggedy-bum, riggedy-rush, chiggedy-chumps I'm savage...I shakes 'em up and down like the Dow Jones average" Unreal.
One of hip hops best duo’s
👍🏿💯
2 of the most original, iconic, and unrecognized MC's to ever touch the microphone 🎤 🧐🙏🏽
"I swiggedy-swing more action than Hawaii Five-O" is the best ending line for a track like this...
Aj ne seri lik
WORD!
They sound like if Ned Flanders was an MC
"I riggedy-rhyme like no one." -Das EFX
Hawaii 5 O was a great show back in the day!
Rappers bit the gear, the hardcore dark swag,the iggedy,the dreads,the many styles of Diggy Das.Major players here,forever changed the game-plus this is now treasured for many hiphop heads youthhood.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Soo many people bit the “ iggidy” style that it became a joke.. everybody and they momma was throwing it into their music…it just killed the uniqueness of it all…
Word
These noobs need to get a lesson.
"So twinkle, twinkle, twinkle little star, I diggidy slam dunk like Kareem Abdul Jabbar!" The real grimy hip-hop. Das Efx still one of my faves!
That has to be my favorite line in all of hip hop
It's sliggidty slam dunk...
My favorite line too....
Back in my teens 💯💪🏼
This is when hip-hop was incredible original and innovative!!!
One of the doubletime Rapper i guess.
Still great after 32 years 🎤👌🔊
I friggedy-freak it from here to Bangladesh
I riggedy-rippin' flesh plus I get fresh like this
love it when i hear my country is mentioned in classic hip hop songs!
Dope shit..
Bangladesh!
HELL YE MANE IM FROM INDIA, gotta love hip hop/art
Bangla bangla! I love Banglas. You guys have a like of personality. Very different from Indians.
Our country likes that your country is listening. Bless you and your flawless taste in music
I miss early 90s hip-hop music videos. So much of what I still listen to came from countless hours of watching YO! MTV Raps.
True mumble rap pioneers
Flow and Cadence in this song alone is INSANE !
My kind of real hip hop...classic shit
This whole album was fire
This record dropped my senior year of high school, this went hard af back in '93. A true banger without any real cursing and references to violence. The word play of these brothers are second to none!
Black hoodies, 40 below timbs, fatigue and carhart jackets, when New York was New York.
I miss it so damn much.
So how does New York look now 2021?🤔 compared to the Golden Of this 1992 have not been NY yet But still Miss this Vibe of Hip Hop!✌🎶
I still rock 40 belows in the summa...
@@fruitcakefloyd2126 it's all skinny jeans pop smoke fandom now..90s NYC was da best
@@Nica-Ra-Wata Factz
Eastcoast went so hard, the way they energetically flow with the echo and crazy beat,the shoutout and beat change and back.E-dub,KrsOne,Ra.,BroJ.samps and a figgedy fuggin explosion in the end!
These dudes changed the game.🤣
Indeed
LITERALLY!
Das EFX is on another level,to be honest. The bases,the rhymes...everything. My favorite 90’s rap by far.👌🏻
These guys rule!
Das Efx.. Black Sheep, a little later: Black Moon, Boot Camp Clic, a Tribe Called Quest. & on & on.. One of the best eras in rap. For me it’s a little further back when I got really into hip hop. All thru the 90s early 2000s, then I started gettin a little picky in what I liked. Not cuz I was gettin older so miss me with that sh>t ..a lot of it just drastically changed from beats and lyrics to people started caring less, not living by principles or morals. I 🔉♥️🔊 Real Rap
First rap tape I ever had was Straight Outta Compton NWA, in the late 80's, I probably had it in '89, I don't even know how I got hold of it but loved rap ever since. I'm UK and I was 12y/o at the time.
early to mid 90s is called the golden era of hip hop for a reason CLASSICKSS
SOOOOOOO TRUE!!! FACTS.
Please don't forget CAMP LOW
Camp Lo
Severely underappreciated, but not by the heads.
1000% facts. I'm almost 40, legit grew up on late 80s/early 90s hip hop.
I'm 43 and still rocking this in 2020
Severe props needed as well, these dudes were back to the future flowing and real good dudes and intelligent cats!💯💢
@@Hatren Word 2 Mutha
word life
One of the DOPEST hip hop artists from my day. Still good after all these years and as always got me bouncin'
No doubt!
2 of the best that ever did it much respect
If you were there then there is no question how hard these dudes rocked and their impact!!
Whoever calls this gibberish, was born in the 2000. They have no idea. You had to be born between 1900 & 60 and 1900 & late 80 to understand the true history and meaning of this craft & history of hip hop!!!
Say those born between 1960's and 1980's cause people born in early 1900's didn't grew up with this shit.
Couple of OGs right here
This was fresh at the time and still holds its own today.
When hip hop wasn't scared to be experimental
When the Hit Squad was dropping banger after banger 🧨
'Member when these dudes came out and suddenly all of hip hop tried to sound like them? Only Das Efx pulled it off though. Such a unique sound.
All facts!
Fu schnickens.. but i gotta be real tho chip fu was ill af.
Them and Fu Schnickens. Chip Fu really pulled it off, too!
Jay-Z owes them so much credit for the start of his career 🤣
Who tried to sound like them?
Most underrated rap duo of all times.
90"s music is the best time
"call me butta fingers cause I dribbledy drop um nuff styles" craaazy
RAW AS HELL DAS EFX
They deserve more attention in Hip hop 💯
I dropped out of H.S. in my junior year to pursue a rap career but when I heard that these two met in college I felt like an idiot. Listen to all the pop culture references Das spits in this song. Education is the way.
They came before. Paved the way for groups like wutang and Coast Contra.
One of the hardest East Coast Beat made
Back in the days where Real Hip Hop THRIVED!!! Talented!!!
English major..2023 bumping diggidy heavy
Super underated bars ❤
Ya know? These guys were underrated. I really liked these dudes in the 90’s. They we’re different than all of the Mc Hammers and the Vanilla Ice’s. Their hooks and lyrical delivery were ( in my opinion) way cool!
Make you appreciate the Migos they modernized this flow for the youngins these days
1990s hip hop still sounds good
This brings me back to my childhood
Das EFX was absolutely on top of the HipHop world. Then, they vanished. If you grew up in the 80s, their lyrics made sense.
The days of true hip hop!
Microphone Checker
Micro
Microphone Checker.
These guys flow is dope.
Das Efx is a Hip Hop Treasure. No doubt about it!
Watch Thirty-Three Hip Hop on TH-cam!
Just subbed up. Very dope concept for content. Much props. Blessings and favor on your endeavor.
@@judahslion5611 man that means alot. Thanks for subbing. New Episodes every Saturday at 10am. In the editing suite right now. I got some heat coming in the AM!
This is hiphop! Who ever gave a thumbs down is crazy.
The flow between references to hip-hop culture, current events, historical, pop-culture, contemporary, and literature is INSANE. Every time I listen to this stuff (going on 30 years now...) I hear something that I missed, forgot, or was just too young to comprehend. I miss the days when our musicians were not just mere puppets of the industry, but actual developers of new forms of expression. Exposing mankind to their perspective and life experiences without being beholden to some cookie-cutter persona of what a rapper, rocker, or even pop-star should "be like".
Pure poetry and word play.
never understood why these guys arent considered to be on the same level as a wu tang or nwa
I got couple of CD with Wu. 36 chamber and other CDs, And Rza Gravediggas.
But i was more in to DasEFX, EPMD and the solo Eric Sermon and PMD, Jeru the Damaja, BDP, Mad Lion.. and on
The true heads know that this is real hip hop. I love the fact that there's us few that knows talent when we hear it. I don't like when they go to mainstream tbh. Yes it's better for the artists with there money and success. But when they keep it raw and from the streets then that's where I believe it should stay at. 👍
Because their style is too raw and unorthodox for a wider audience. Which is also the reason they get love from hip hop heads. Wu tang and nwa's lyrics have a more universal appeal so they are better songwriters in that sense.
I like the Old School beats and rhymes.
I grow up in the middle of the 80s and listen to hiphop sens then.
The whole 90s had relay god Rapers.
Fu-Schnickens, Jungle Brothers, Slick Rick, Das-EFX, Alkaholics, Artifacts Group Home, Gangstarr, Black Sheep, And whole Boot Camp Clik, Buckshot, Smif-N-Wessun. Black Moon, Origino Gunn Clappaz.
Soo meny good Rapers back then with sick flow, Its hard to fins this days.
Everything to day, almost sounds the same :/.
Today. Rapers can buy beats from a Beat maker.
And 10 rapers buy beats from same guy, So all there tracks, sound the same because of that.
Back in the days alot of groups made there own beats.
They did this against real competition - not like today's rap with 5-10 stars owning the air waves. In the 90's everyone was a star if they hit the screen. Only a handful of rappers of today could have survived this era.
They spittetty spit gibberish and made it dope.
Birth of mumble rap much more eloquent
You mean they spiggity spat gibberish...
Please don’t call this mumble rap
Its not gibberish, its art, possibly it is over your head, they are actually using a bunch of Pop culture reference from the 70s and 80s talk about themselves, nothing short of Genius.
No my brother, do you not hear the metaphors!!🤨
This song is so 🔥!!!!
A classic! One of.my favorites of all time! And I'm 60 yrs old. That funky beat, that guitar , and lyrical flow!
Das influenced an entire segment within the Golden Era. For at least two summers, rappers were rhyming with a derivative of the "stiggity -stutter grammar" style. #Salute
Their flow is nuts and I love it!
It's niggity nuts 👀🤣
Better than anything they have out now!
Dog you read my exact thoughts 💭🤔
This trash lol, can’t even understand them
This is a great era in hip hop never gets old
1992 till infinity most of my favorite rap hits come out in that year
That “hawk Tuah, spit” line hits different now in 2024 😂😂
One of the most dangerous hip hop band eva..
How this is not at 10 million views ????
Hip Hop Classic Das EFX Hip Hop Royalty
To think, they won 2nd place in a talent show contest when Parrish Smith discovered them... he asked them, "Do you want to win a talent show or sign a record deal?" The rest is history.
It’s on unsung
exactly
No the won 1st. But the place where they was at wanted the other group so das took 2nd place and a record deal
@@shawnmcgee9921 yes, for safety reasons they took the 2nd place. Other group was known for its illegal activities or something like that so EPMD didn’t want that smoke.
And they only met in college, crazy chemistry.
Trailblazers!
I remember when everybody bitten this style💯
*bit

Including jay z himself

@@kingfame_ thats why he got his first album in '96, and das efx got released theirs in' 92... cuz jay z was ahead of them...
Not only is this not gibberish, they have different lyrics in every verse unlike nowadays rap/hiphop
Real hip hop is what they represented
When these cats said "straight from da sewer," dey wasn't lyin 😭😭
One of the best in hip hop period
the real shit.... not auto tuned..... rapping......love it !!!
