John W. Bowman, Jr., better known by his stage name DJ Kool is an American rapper who, in the late 1990s, produced several popular rap singles. Born in 1959
in Washington, D.C., his influence from his years of working the go-go and rap circuits became apparent in his music. During the early- to mid-1980s, Kool
worked as a warm-up DJ for Rare Essence, until he was picked up by CLR Records.
In 1996, he recorded his most successful track, "Let Me Clear My Throat," which was released on American Recordings. The track peaked at #8 in the UK Singles
Chart in March 1997. The song prominently featured a sample of "The 900 Number" by DJ Mark the 45 King, (that song featured a sample from Marva Whitney's
"Unwind Yourself", repeated over a breakbeat for six minutes). The song also began by sampling "Hollywood Swinging" by Kool and the Gang. The song is a
recognizable dance floor-filler, and the track remains popular to this day. DJ Kool was featured on Mýa's 2006 single "Ayo!" from her 2008 album Liberation.
He was also featured on two tracks on Will Smith's 2005 album Lost and Found.

This song literally gives me chills when I hear it...we used to party SO HARD to this! The days when men and women actually DANCED at parties to the point of leaving the club SOAKED in sweat.
I grew up in the 90s so I was excited to experience that, then I got old enough and it wasn't the same I just knew it wasn't lol
Crack cocaine was a hell of a drug!
Still a straight banger to this day!
I swear I miss being absolutely soaking in sweat 😢
Even after you brought a towel 😂
💯
Some of y'all definitely might not get it: if you aren't both Gen X and you weren't you up in the clubs every weekend, you won't understand how much this song was played and how it got everrryyybody to the floor! You used to leave the clubs DEAD TIRED from all the dancing you did :)
Your dead right😀😀😀
Workout!
Even almost 25 years later, this song gets the party hype every time.
I truly miss these type of beats!! We don't hear anything remotely close to this anymore. No more good hip hop. Going to the clubs used to be 🔥🔥. It was music you could dance and groove to!! Good times!!
Facts all day
E'erytime!
Still one of my ultimate hype songs.
Or a road trip
Aged like a fine wine. Still fantastic.
Age like fine wine. Back it up and play it and taste it again. "Moorestown resident brings fresh beats to Eagles songs ".

Ain't no way to disagree with that
Damn right pour me a glass plz lol
In the mid to late 90s, you HAD to be outside IN THE CLUBS to understand how impactful this song was/is! The moment you heard "let me clear my throat", crowd went NUTSSSSSS #Memories 🥺
Only thing I have seen compare is when DMX brought us the Ruff Ryder's Anthem.
Bedlam.
Mayhem.
Just heard this while driving & remembering which club I was in, great memories! 🥳🥳💖💥
Yes indeed.
I remember when Hot97 would pump this up..DJ Red Alert!!

I was at this video shoot (Club Gotham Philly) yet i can never find myself. It was mad fun tho
@@bucnasty9730 Pac had died about two months before this video was filmed.
@@bucnasty9730 Pac had passed September of ‘96 I believe, & I wanna say this video shoot was November of that year I believe. So it was still heavy on people’s mind
Film crewed this video( lighting) it was fun. Took pictures with the stars cool down to earth.
Crazy I was there to on that angel dust can't remember shit was stuck all night 8 th butler boys good old days.
@@robertcolon5531 not 8th & Butler 🤣🤣
If you’re here in ‘21 it’s either; a trip down memory lane, or; a privilege to virgin eardrums 🎧 🔥
have a good day ❤️✌🏻
For sure a trip lol 😆 I remember an interview with him talking about how he got this song lol ATL 96 jammed with this
TRIPIN DOWN MEMEORY LANE YA'LL. R.I.P. BIZ
Hahah
Memories for me and a lesson on good music for my daughter.
I was actually here in 1994. And it’s painful on my eardrums.
This is LITERALLY the song that turned me on to hip-hop in the late 90s. It got played on a Saturday night on Triple J and it blew my fucking mind.
I cleared my throat and thought of this for no reason.
I didn't even know Biz Markie was in this song. This song is a HIP-HOP y CLUB CLASSIC! I would go cray to this song at clubs and parties! Especially at the "UH HUH, UH HUH, HUH!" R.I.P. Biz Markie. Now you beatboxing y rapping in Heaven!
This beat never gets old!
2pac, 2pac! I luv that part.
Yep my favourite but saddest part as Pac had only just died as this was being produced.... extra sad with Biz M now gone too...
Born 1981 this is the phat as!!!!!
Rest in Paradise Biz Markie you ignited crowds all over this planet 🌎💯❤️
Can't believe I'm saying Rest well to the Biz Markie now mannn . Dam we losing to many of our legends.
Who still listening during quarantine 2020? It's still popping!!!
Only you.

@@Classy312 What is that supposed to mean?
2021!!

Stop crying simp, that’s embarrassing to biz
This song gets everyone on the dance floor, that beat is amazing
The sax sample is from DJ Mark the 45 King’s “The 900 Number.”
@@lindenbyass6902 yeah man, found it a while ago. That sax player should be rich AF. Probably skint.
Ed Lover used this song whenever he did The Ed Lover Dance when he was with Doctor Dre on MTV.

Sigo flipando con este temazo en 2023
The sound of my teens. This track would pump up the entire place.
THIS IS HIP HOP. MOVING THE CROWD AND THE DJ IS SWITCHING RECORDS. EVERYBODY IS ON THE SONG.
If they played this at my mother’s funeral I’d def dance to it.
😂😂😂😂😂
With tears rolling down my face and all!
She probably would too
HAVE MERCY MOM I HOPE YA DONT MIND
I was having trouble thinking what I could have going in... it's gonna be this. Baggy Trousers by Madness going out.
98 was an EPIC year
When my pops bumped this we use to go crazy!!!
Fuck.. I'm 36 and this song still bangs.
I’m 37. I sound like an old lady but , man some of those old schools , folks can’t touch em. Just hype n energy!

This song is a beast!
RIP Biz, I had the pleasure of seeing them perform this song live
I was born in ‘98, I wish I was in my teens when this came out. Song hard af
Math buddy math
@@mardaherz8243 I said I wish dude. Key word “wish” no math involved here 😂
I was born in 90 I was still a little to young for these kinds of party's but if I was in my teens in 90 I'd of been at party's like these.
I went to a comedy show back in 2021 and the Dj played this as filler before the opener’s set began and the funniest part was the beginning of the song you could tell who has never been to a Comedy Show and who has never heard that song because a whole bunch of people stood up and started clapping and screaming and cheering expecting the headliner to just come out firing.
So damn funny. 😂
One of the most legendary songs of all-time!!!!
This is an intricately crafted song.
Everytime I hear this song I got to do THE ED LOVER DANCE!!
They forgot about the ed lover dance. He used to set it off 😂😂😂
You are yo mtv raps
I was during the same. Ed lover all day
Dang this all I heard has a kid elementary and just being young period was dope asf
MANN,, if i could go back in time, i'd land in this year!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dj Playero y Varios Dj de Puerto Rico del Rap & Reggae del Underground en los 90 Usaron estas Pistas ❤❤❤❤
Doug E fresh felt like a bomb when he came on
Ripple effect. Yeah from Darryl(drivs)Rivers of Moorestown NJ. Yes the true ripple effect is our Philadelphia E.C.E doing it now with the Philadelphia offense and defense working together. Of course along with our kick off- return- special team, practice Team, fans and everyone that is truly nasty and belong to our Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl champions #1 willing to do together again with the Eagles NFL folks we have now facing, Super Bowl champion again #2 among us NFL gridiron Eagles now folks.
When this song drops…
2023 and still a hype joint! Play this at a party and everyone is getting up!!!
They don’t make music like this anymore
Classic. Remember this around 1997 club scene...good ol days.
The 3 dislikes are those that don't understand classic music, still better than the shit that's out.
Santanna Guzman Sr. This is that real hip hop....
It’s 2022, and still a BANGER!!
I am old enough to remember when you could see the downvotes.
Etched in my brain for ever Yo MTV Raps with Ed Lover and Dr Dre dancing to this. Great jam!!
I remember this song when I went to Hampton University in 1994, 1995 and 1996. That's right the Hampton Pirates.
2020... still here. One of the most iconic tracks outthere))))
Rip to Biz. One of the greatest of all time
Any one else doing the Ed Lover dance?
Don't know what is but I'm doing SOMETHING! 😂😂❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥
