Man, I'm 51 now and this video bought back memories from my teenage years. I feel so nostalgic right now I'm about to dust off my vhs tape and watch Krush Groove again. Ahh the memories.
This was the first rap video I remember seeing on video music box on ch 31 back in the day. IYKYK. This brought back some good memories thanks for sharing.
@don-xq5nh I had a bunch of vhs tapes with all the videos from video music box. Lost them when Hurricane George flooded my apartment. Glad you felt this.
So odd. When this first came out on video music box I used to think, what a simple cheap video. I watch it now and I'm thinking, wow what an amazing, real, authentic, and pure video.
I know exactly what you mean, lol. And now we can see they put in mad effort and really cared about their art. They are so damn dope! This song has always been EVERYTHING to me...baaaarrrs!!!
Ralph McDaniels and Lionel “The Vid Kid” Martin probably produced and directed the video, respectively, as their Classic Concepts Productions did a lot of the really underground videos that aired on “Video Music Box” before they became bigger, switched to film, and started making national music videos for the major labels for artists such as Public Enemy, Chuck Chillout, M.C. Shan, and more. Peace.
I just watched an interview with Kool Rock Ski from The Fat Boys and he referenced this song and how it predates The Show by Doug E Fresh. I haven’t thought of or heard this song since I was a kid, so thank you Kool Rock Ski and you are totally right.
I was an original member of the group before Bizz and K-Love joined. Fat Boys, Bad Boys, Stetsasonic and Sparky D use to perform at Block Parties for The Uptown Crew. Fat Boys were known as the Disco 3. Bad Boys weren't formed yet. Me and T-Funk use to battle against each other before joining forces. Mr. Mack and I went to school together along with a bunch of other MC/DJ's at Thomas Jefferson H.S. (Riddick Bowe too)
Iam ,56 . When hip hop was great during the 80's Latin quarters . Rose land , Roxy. They was some good times. Leather bombers, mock necks British walker cazal playboys lee suits sheepskin fila suits kangol etc.
1:26 This is where the first bar of "Big Poppa" originated. That was very clever on BIG's part considering the group is called Bad Boys and he was on the record label Bad Boy. Very smart. He always paid homage.
This era of hip hop is heavily underated. Everytime people talk about old school hip hop they mostly talking about the 90s/late 80s boom bap g funk stuff

Great song. Classic. The name is not inspector gadget. There was a song called Inspector gadget by the Kartoon Krew around the same time. This song is called Bad Boys (or Bad Boys Vocal ) featuring K Love

Don't do it, I am 51 also. I almost pulled a muscle when I got hyped up 😂
Craig make sure you stretch first in case you try to pop to the music. LOL....you ain't 17 anymore. Peace

This shit will never get old!!! 😂😂😂 This video didn’t get the respect that it deserved!!!
I still listen to it
These are the real bad boys from Brooklyn. Undisputed facts.
We had the best in the 80s.
Facts
The Himalaya ride at Coney Island ran this song into the ground! It literally made that ride one of the sold out rides in Coney Island! At the time!😂
So odd. When this first came out on video music box I used to think, what a simple cheap video. I watch it now and I'm thinking, wow what an amazing, real, authentic, and pure video.
But they still made it on the cheap compared to today's videos
I know exactly what you mean, lol. And now we can see they put in mad effort and really cared about their art. They are so damn dope! This song has always been EVERYTHING to me...baaaarrrs!!!

@@MuzikJunky Yoooo!!!! FACTS!!!! Had no idea they were like Fab 5 Freddy with the music video production!
This reminds me of the tough Reagan years black folks had to endure, we made the best of it somehow
Well said
Goverment cheese food stanps, nyc summer
Incredible still to this day. This vid & song captures the pure essence of the Hip Hop culture. Almost brings tears to my eyes❤

It's 2020 and you don't know the 80s NYC if you wasn't around 4 this!
This is from 1985, right?
Word my brotha. This was it with Mr. Magic and Marly Marl spinning on Friday nights. I used tape all that shit. Wish I had them tapes still.
This destroyed the game when it came out. Innovative
This was my song
Word up!

1985 was a good year.
Certainly was.
Doug E fresh came out with his inspector gadget rap later that summer. The Krush groove year. Who can forget it.
1985 4EVA!!!!

I hate so called hip hop ''throwback'' radio stations that only go back to the 90s....the 80s are completely ignored.
@@desertfox4277 thank you! I find myself correcting so many people giving credit to the 90s for 80s stuff. It’s disgusting!
DAAAMM IWAS 17 WEN FRIST LISTEN TO THIS JAM .WOW THE REAL HIP HOP MOVE WAS GOOD IN THE 80S
Before gansta rap when rap was only one thing. HAVING FUN
Word to the f---n HERB! ; )
I remember hearing this on the late night radio rap stations when I was young. I miss that feeling of hearing all the originality.
This era of hip hop is heavily underated.
Everytime people talk about old school hip hop they mostly talking about the 90s/late 80s boom bap g funk stuff
Not really you just have to ask em
Bad Boys, Be-Bop Rock, Bite ‘em, Stick It In (Headphones), Ladies, Bad Times, Cosmic Blast, Just for Fun. Man, that was real Hip Hop.
So dope I had it on my old red alert tapes
Living in Dallas Texas when this awesome cut came out!

Never get tired of this amazing work..
Have this record/ single❤️✌️🇵🇷🇺🇸got it when it came out.back in the 80’ ✌️Brooklyn 🤜
KOOL DJ RED ALERT WAS SPINNING THIS ON 98.7 KISS FM IN 1985,, CLASSIC HIP HOP !!! WORD!!! UP!!!
K Love had the shortest verse but It always was the verse that popped in my head when I think of this Jam.
The beat box was the real verse... long. LOL What a classic
Pre KRS, pre Kane, I ain’t gonna lie, I miss this kind of hip hop. F**k that stuff they play now.
I was a freshman at TRANSIT TECH formally East New York Vocational when this happened
...lol love it
Age 14 at the time, got this on white label in London - around the same time as The Show and they both featured the Gadget tune.
I knew T-Funk (RIP). He was good friends of my brothers. We grew up in ENY Brooklyn.
They killed everything when it came out. Innovative
That beat is the joint!!!
Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright... 💯
I'm here because Red Alert mentioned this song on Drink Champs
Bad Boys & K Love It's the greatest hip hop group from the 80s!
That was my $#*÷ back in the Day.

B.I.G.G.I.E. Took me here: " To all the ladies in the place with style and grace"

United Skates Sunday Nights
East New York in the house..
Straight 🔥 even after what, like 35 years Lol??? Damn!!!
I remember watching them practice in a back yard of the corner house located on 36 th and Neptune in Coney Island
You do? Wow! So you knew Tony who lived across the street from Sea Rise?
@@AsiaticDisciple Tony from waves in that died? Yeah we lived in the same building. We were really good friends
Wow I lived in Coney island in ocean towers 😂 do y'all know the Kent family that use to live in that building, one of the girls name was tanya, an she had a brother name I guard , but they use to call him universal . Small world 😂
@@jaygordan3401 don't know the Kent family. i was kool with the Graham and the Carter family
@@Brooklynkitty2 oh ok
As strange as it may sound, I am sure that these guys had an influence on RZA and Wu Tang Clan. To have a group flow so succinctly with catchy rhymes like this is pure Hip Hop gold. Even the no frills video is similar to Wu's "Protect Ya Neck".
For sure! These were the jams that were huge when those guys were growing up.
1:26 Biggie got it from this 👀
REAL RAP MUSIC THAT WILL WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks dude for listening to my video I'm MC al b

Totally agree 👍👏👌
This was the sh-t uptown in the Bronx back in days!!!
Kool Rock Ski brought me here!!!
How so ? What did Kool Rock say about this ?
I was born in 82 in the Bronx, so some of these MCs I don’t remember. However, I can hear the influence from Fat Boys, Doug E, and countless others.
Love this track

Man, this was when Hip Hop was really the Best

Great song. Classic. The name is not inspector gadget. There was a song called Inspector gadget by the Kartoon Krew around the same time. This song is called Bad Boys (or Bad Boys Vocal ) featuring K Love
Thanks for that, I remember the other song too. There was the inspector gadget dance as well.
God damn... Those was best time... And ambitious music...
I remember roller skating to this at the skate key in the Bronx.😊
Had to relive one of my favorite old school childhood memories with this song
