Lyrics
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Is a word we use everyday
Most the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up, again and again
But the dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends
And if you ask me, you know, I couldn't be much help
Because a friend's somebody you judge for yourself
Some are ok, and they treat you real cool
And some mistake your kindness for bein' a fool
We like to be with some, because they're funny
Others come around when they need some money
Some you grew up with, around the way
And you're still real close to this very day
Homeboys through the summer, winter, spring and fall
And then there's some we wish we never knew at all
And this list goes on, again and again
But these are the people that we call friends
Instrumental
When we first went out together, we barely knew each other
We had no intentions, on becoming lovers
But in no time at all, you became my girl
Me and you, one on one, against the world
Talkin’ on the telephone for hours at a time
Or else I was at your house, or you was at mine
And then came the arguments and all kinds of problems
Besides making love, we had nothing in common
It could've lasted longer because it started out strong
But I guess we went about the whole thing wrong
'Cause out of nowhere it just came to an end
Because we became lovers before we were friends
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be
Friends
You say you and your girlfriend were so tight
You took her out with you and your guy one night
She even had a set of keys to your home
And you shared mostly everything you owned
But then she shook your hand, she stole your man
And it was done so sweet, it had to be a plan
Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys
With friends like that you don't need enemies
You wonder how long it was all going on
And you’re still not sure if you’re glad he’s gone
You say, well if she took him he was never mine
But deep inside you know that's just another lie
And now you're kinda cold toward people you meet
'Cause of something that was done to you by some creep
But nevertheless, I'll say it again
That these are the people that we call friends
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further

One of the dopest beats EVER created
LOV3D IT WHEN NAS USED IT
One of my favorites
Pure dope Danny!
This never gets old. I missed these days so much…2024..
Days when people would show up at the parks with there wind breakers boom boxes and break dance.
A Timeless Classic.....R.I.P. Ecstasy
Listen to these words. Made in 1984. This is almost 40 years old and still relevant to this day. one of the realest songs in hip hop history.
Frfr!
Believe that 1000
Man, u spittin truth. True today
My homie DJ x.. loves this song in 85.. R. I. P 🙏♥️🤟
I used to listen to this song every day all day long because it was a true song that's when rap had meaning not like the garbage they put out today
I was strolling through Target today and this was blasting through their store speakers. They couldn't dare do that w today's rap music. Hi 5 to the good Ole days.
I’m 54, from the BX. Now I live in KY with my 4 kids and I still jam to this.
Anytime I hear someone say "friends" I can't help think of this song! One of the most timeless rap songs of all time! A true classic! ❤ 🎶 🇺🇸
The baddest beat in hip hop history!😊
Song brings a tear to my eye. This one of my father's favorite songs. He's not here anymore but I am, having a glass of whiskey in his honor and thinking about his smile. I'm glad that we can still find timeless music like this.
Cheers man.
my father used to listen to this all the time too! it has such a special part in my heart! I'm sorry your father isn't around anymore.
My father's too man 🤦😥
My father also passed just last year. Having a drink for you and your father right now. Cheers. ❤️
@@tazrface1040 your pops still with u .stay up
whoever made this beat was on another planet
Yea it's very special!lol 😂and 😊😮😢😂😮😢😅😊
Facts
The planet called common sense
LOL😂 TRUE
Dopest Beat in the History of Hip Hop, One of the greatest Classic Hip Hop tracks of all time! Peace to the Old School Heads!!! how many of us have that friend who takes our kindness for granted? and how many of us have friends that treat you real cool?
That's just why I played it ..some take your kindness for being the fool ..others come around when they need some money.
I saw them in concert two summers straight, 85-86'
I'm 54 now, and this is still real music In 2022..🎤🎷🎵👑
Dude I was there
You got that right.
Damn bruh I'm a 85er and i envy u coming up to see the birth of hip hop
@@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617 yep we went from in 1977 wearing loud colored bell bottoms and disco glitter to 1979 wearing Kangols, jogging suits and pop locking in about a 2yr window, that shxt hit out of nowhere,..
Me too with the fat boys those were the good days I was younger lol
This song will never go out of style
I agree
Music or lyrics wise. Timeless.
Been sampled 5 trillion times, & never gets old.
Amen! Peace!
Nahhh gang yu jus old asl 😂😂
Man. Used to lay in bed back in the 80's and try and fine tune my radio to pick up WJLB out of Detroit from my parents house in Toledo. Damn. Brings back a ton of memories!!!!!
Facts
The beat is so synonymous with hip hop in its early stages. One of the greatest beats of all times. The beat, the message in the record, all substance. " "Friends", Whodini so legendary
That beat had to scare and excite ninjas when it was dropped. Plus those lyrics, damn!!! This sh*t hit the soul
Bruhh Ive been listening to mostly West Coast Rap and Detroit rap and somehow ALOT of detroit rap songs have this style beat which is dope
Saldades😊
This song is the most truthful rap song ever made. If u agree drop a👍🏾
It's the truth all the way to judgement day.
👍🏽
💯
It's true, but the best rap about betrayal by a friend is Grandmaster Caz's "MC Delight".
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
I always listen to this masterpiece..just to remind me not everyone is a "friend".. been bumping this since 1986...
I learned a long time ago that "Friends" can fit into 3 Catagories. A Reason, A Season, or A Lifetime. A reason can turn into a season and then a lifetime. So it's not always so cut & dry. And then you have the folks you just immediatly connect with & they are by your side & have your six no matter what! Thanks for the video! Peace To All!!
it can also fit into a series haha
Good Analysis 👍Thank You!
No truer words could describe friends. Great analysis indeed. 👍 Peace to you as well.
Nah, it can be cut and dry if you have agency, and set boundaries.
Beautifully put.. I have 2 friends that I have known since the 3rd grade.. I've known them both for 45 years... they are closer than some of my blood relatives.
This might be the hardest song ever created in Hip-Hop history
LOVE Whodini!!! Yes, they kept it real and fun without being obscene!! Love that era!! 😍
Original rap with a true message. Those were the days.
RIP Ecstasy, loved his flow. This was the first rap album I ever bought. This song (musically) has stood the test of time.
Yes he did pass rest in heaven to the 🐐 he was a identical twin
I didn't know he passed. 😢
My 50 yrs of celebrating hip hop is all about memories of rap group whodini the best
This is the absolute Gospel truth!!!!!
This beat will stay engraved in Hip-Hop history
4ever
@@TheTyreese62 DATs the shit niggar what ,u heard 👑
Nas did this beat justice too, If I ruled the woooorld! “….Feel the wind breeze in the west indies”…
he also got the if i ruled the world bits from kurtis blow@@pboissie
Definitely! I remember this from when I was like 9 years old. Nas then reused it in my later youth. So good
This beat NEVER gets old...
Never. This beat is absolute fire.
Got that right 💯
70 yrs....a factual song😍
Beat COLD ASF
Take notes. This track is a life lesson.
Thug life, stay true 2022
In honor of Shanquella Robinson
Real shit.
Lord yes!!! I love we have every song that fit life lessons!!! Black americans are truly talented!!!

This song is so fire. No one really makes songs like WHODINI anymore. Music in general has fell WAY off. But at least we've been given these Timeless masterpieces to keep going back to. Shukran Ecstasy for your Genius contribution to our Human Race!
Correct, Mr. Guga.
Yes
Yes master pieces
Facts!!.. 24.. these are the people """.
Yes Sirrr...the 80s was the coolest in time, my roller skating days, they play Friends by Whodini, I would lose my mind...My first cousin Franklin, that was one of his favorite too, and he could be anywhere , store, riding in the car, club, that song comes on, he'll break out dancing, OMG ...but he passed on...so hold on to your great memories people, RIP Cuzz.
My condolences!

Right💕💕
Facts
I went to one of his concerts at providence,ri
I saw Whodini, Run-DMC, and Grand Master Flash in the same concert.
Yell that's right sure is
You know you recorded a classic when everything you said in the lyrics is still relevant generations later.
Opa! é um CLÁSSICO atual...como o RAP está no contemporâneo.
TIMELESS song with no Expiration date!!!
This is when we had a message! Real rap which took thought!🔥🔥🔥🔥
The dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends
Cant lie who ever produced for whodini were wild geniuses. This and One Love are like 2 of the best hip hop beats of all time.
They had European producers jove records was a company from Europe an they cash in on the whodini group from the time they formed they have an unsung episode
Correction. The late, legendary Larry Smith was their producer .
@@bookiebrown7012e Larry Smith produced this, he was from New York, but it was recorded in the Uk.
@@anthonyholmes71music Facts!!! Larry had NY on loc_k in the early to mid eighties.
Can’t forget about I’m a ho !
Whodin was one of the best groups out there back and the 80's GOD truly blessed them.
The beat is a masterpiece.
it's the story told, instrumentals, beats, etc. maybe it's because I've heard bits and pieces of the hit through out my life and i'm just now hearing it whole at 40...CLASSIC
That beat is heavy and the message gave it mental nourishment! The perfect combination.
TruckerCharlie84 True. they didn't was a dope track on nothingness.
We're
Q
The message mental nourishment! This is a excellent statement, and great 😊 observation!
Ll
This is still one of the best beats ever. The drum loop alone is epic
Even more so today, with social media, we just don’t know how to be present for our friends. Loneliness and Depression are this century’s epidemic.
Music 🎶 like this brought everyone together. Today's music has torn us apart. Sometimes we need to go back to see where we are going.
All true lyrics. Timeless
For sure.

And then came the arguments and all kinds of problems

'Cause out of nowhere it just came to an end
Because we became lovers before we were friends

This song will always be on point rip we all need good friends because sometimes they might be the only ones that got your back besides your own family
I love this song
I grew up bumping this thanks to mom
I love you mom for that...
I'm 34 years young now this my jam though shouts out to Whodini for this throwback classic
Wonderful song! Reminds me my childhood! Whodini did a great job here! January of 2019 and I keep listening to this song!
Nice jam I still listen to it till this day
Because your a real friend!
@@enriquesanchez9903 you a real friend too
This song reminds me of the CB Credit King ad
😎👌
More truth in these rhymes than the entire billboard's of todays"artists"
Whoudini didn't get the credit they deserved! Real Legends!💪🏿💯
it comes with BEING REAL AND NO BETRAYAL.
Again, Friends is my all time favorite song still until this day... can't nothing touch it...Friends how many others have them... just a few days ago just lost a wonderful friend right after Christmas my birthday, I'm kinda 💓 broken, my cousin had just passed as well and my love and friend, Harold...RIP... Let's be friends...Life is short, I'm telling you brothers and sisters do the right thing by each other, love each other, help each other, don't hate....too much love in the world to hate.. Blessings and much love to you all..
This is what you call music no cussing no guns no gangs nothing back of the day that was the music and if today is the music no matter what anybody says that music will take you from feeling low and then High it's what you call great music there's nothing like it ever be like it brings back old times and I wish it was back then back then but now it's all screwed and fucked up listen to this music and remember the times back in the day
Big FACTS!!!!!
An OG once told me in a youth program meeting, the 80's gangstas are the result of why law enforcement, nation wide cracked down on kingpins, drug rings, gangs, criminal underworld and organizations. That's why to this day nothing is the same. The game has changed. The streets ain't mad crazy like it was in the 80's
No more fat gold chains, diamond rings, gold tooth or pushing weight, packing uzis
He told me this in 2013.
My grandma recently said that she's happy that my hood ain't mad active like it was some thirty years ago and she's glad there's no more crazy hood shit happening. That was a couple weeks ago.
So yeah. The game changed. Nothing will ever be like it was.
I’m really sick of you morality police coming on these videos talking this bullshit. You can’t even enjoy a classic song without putting down other classic songs for being “too vulgar” and reminiscing about the “old days” as if everything was fine and dandy for everyone in the 80’s during the Reagan era. The violence you hear in music is a reflection of the world around us and expecting everyone to just stick to making “happy” music that doesn’t scare the white people away when the country has been fucked for years is just silly.
Just love this beat, No anger, hate, cursing or violence. just great Hip Hop with meaning
A McDonald’s commercial activated a memory of this song, I was a baby but my mom always played these songs
Real music never dies
MF DOOM sampled this song for DEEP FRIED FRIENDS, RIP to one if the greatest.
Can't be sample or trample duplicated o r immatated !
Who?
Mf doom sucks
i was just listening to that😂
Word up.
My Mom and dad are True and Real Friends...this song is Real

This and the rest of this album were played over and over again in the barracks. I came to enjoy their sound.
Thank you for your service. I did 14 myself. USAF.
Classic song every word still applies
Back when EVERY rapper had his own style and sound.
BIG CLOWN that’s what the culture was built on. It was the REALEST when a influx of new talent poured into the culture. Honestly, a new CULTURE / GENRE need to develop that spawns from this classic form.

The real ones
This song remind me in my teen's still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯2019 still rocking it this music.
Classic because everyone can still relate to that till this day and on n on
See, when is it going to get REAL like this again. People STILL don't know what a REAL friend is to this very day. People claim to be SO REAL these days but they don't even have a clue AT ALL. This music will ALWAYS be Relevant to Life because it's ULTRA REAL.
Str8 facts till this day💥💥💥
Quem não dançou esse clássico nos bailes de garagem, aqui em São Paulo nos anos 80 tinha disputa de bailes nas garagem aos sábados com aquelas lampadas com pastilhas para piscar sem queimar kkk!! várias lembranças agora
Dancei muito essa musica no BUSO PALACE! Lembra?
Irmão, q lembrança fantástica! Era maravilhoso. Eu era e sou cintura dura, mas ia sempre p vê os manos dançarem. Era maravilhoso.
Dancei muito nos bailes aqui no Rio ❤
Pena que essa geração não curte um baile como nos anos 80.
This gives me the chills you can't repeat history wow so awesome 💯😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
This was real rap. They don’t make it like this no more
Amava essa época, os bailes eram muito melhor. Com essas músicas valia a pena ir às bailes, anos 80.
Concordo plenamente os bailes o DJ, não tinha tanta vaidade que temos hoje. Mais temos o melhor a música tanto instrumental o vocal símbolos de uma geração de Nova York. #ILove80
Such a core memory NYC 80s track!!!🗽🗽🗽🧠🔥🔥🔥
Whodini was like dat back n a day 🔥
Whodini were definitely one of the pioneers of Hip Hop RIP Ecstasy
WHODiNi is real LEGENDS...with friends like that u don't need enemies.
Fez muito sucesso aqui no Brasil na década de 80, tocava em todas as festas!
