There were numerous doo wop hits in 1966. Most notable being “what’s new pussycat” which many people are familiar with still today, it was number one on the charts for many weeks/months. So what was the point of your comment again?
@@botulismcasserole9832 What's New Pussycat is not a doo-wop song. It's a Bacharach-David song sung by Tom Jones. Doo-wop is harmony vocals with little or no instrumentation. By 1966 it would have been unusual for a doo-wop song to be a hit.
@@botulismcasserole9832😂The Platters were do wop. "What's New Pussycat" was written by Burt Bacharach. It was NOT "doo wop". What was the point of your comment again? (I can't stand arrogant INCORRECT fools like you🫵)
in your pursuit to learn those incredibly difficult dance moves, be sure you're in great physical condition. i recommend the conditioning level of a 1 year old baby.
This is Lee Jay Cobb also known as MC Toast. He was in a house fire in Glendale when he was 12. He started rapping and would wear a KFC bucket on his head marked “Extra Crispy “. His poetry was sometimes compared to Dr. Seuss mashed with Emily Dickenson.
@@nowbacktoyourprogram he did - he made a few other records too - was an active rap artist back then, and he cared. A lot of young people (of all races) were being destroyed by crack at that time including some friends of mine.
These uploads just never fail to leave me busying a gut....in all honesty, these lyrics aint the worst i ever heard on a rap record...le le le leave it alone...classic.
No you don’t … that host guy was a creepy slimeball & seemed to have his eye on all the underaged female performers on this show. I still enjoy watching this shows as an amazing time warp of New York in a very different era, but I get creeped out when he tries to plant one on the very young girls - constantly.
The decoration-department of this show is a league on it's own.The table-keyboard installation is something andy warhol would be proud of.I am beyond amazed....😳 👋🇩🇪
All rap and hip-hop style came from this one performance This Man single-handedly created gangster rap this is the hardest hitting nigga I've everseent
This dude is horrible in any era of rap haha. The thing is hip hop and rap was seen as a trend that would soon fade out so everyone and their mom would do their rendition of it for fun and it was trash..."my name is ( ) and I'm here to say" kind of stuff haha.
What kind of look is he going for? Also, just think 2-3 years before this, the superbowl shuffle came out. He got out-rapped by the Chicago Bears. I just realised, his sunglasses are taped on, just above his ear. Brilliant!
Yeah i remember those days...taking Crack day in day out...until i heard this song tell me to LEAVE IT ALONE! The addictive bassline took over from the Crack and then i found myself hopelessly addicted to this bassline and catchy catchy chorus! I used to do the dance all day and night. I slept even less than when i used to do crack. This song ruined my life! Wish id have just le lee lee le le left it alone!
L-L-Lea-Lea-Lea-Leave it alone! Apparently the keyboard player got all enamored with the voice sampling functionality, to which I totally understand. I used to have a keyboard that had voice sampling capability, and it was indeed VERY enamoring.
This guy & his peeps were honestly trying to do something real and socially conscious during a really rough time in the inner city. During that time, I was in New York & I witnessed it. Sad that so many people are poking fun at him and make it seem like he’s a clown or whatever - he’s not a pro & prob had a day gig, but this guy was actually trying to make this world a better place. I hope he reached some young people who were going down the wrong road in the 80s and early 90s in New York and around the world.
Was the lead singer burned in a fire? I can’t figure out what I’m looking at...oh wait it just zoomed in...oh wait, camera is having a seizure, keeps going back from the girl to whatever this is in the front...he mentioned getting burned in a fire but jury is still out. Wow. Crackhead. Lyrically a masterpiece.
That's his cousin Tanisha we went to school together and the man on the keyboard is Herman Johnson he got hooked on crack but not anymore. They were at DD Moores birthday party and did this rap. They were solid especially the dance moves
Play this piece in Kensington, seriously, probably clear out a few street corners or benches at the very least. (This jam gonna keep more people clean than I ever could as a detox RN over the years in that gen area.)
The Casio has a 'Crackhead' key?
Brett Mary Drew Your f**kin hilarious!!!🤣👍🏻✌🏻
It's a sampling keyboard, you can just say anything you want into it and you can sample it.
@@mofoblitz7482 really? Lol
hahahaha

Dude got warrants
95% sure this guy is a high school math teacher trying to teach the kids a lesson.
Keyboard guy is the A/V teacher.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Highschool meth teacher
😂😂😂
This is the kinda music I listen to when I just fixed me a baloney sandwich and sit down and look outside of my kitchen window.

lmao. I'm about to jump off the sidewalk. best comment ever
Or when I put on a pair of ballet tights and... wait...uh...what?
That's beautiful man
That’s a wonderful statement...
His niece and nephew look so hyped for this performance
As a former crack head I can confirm it was this song that turned my life around and I’m now on meth and heroin instead.
Crazy how people can have the exact experience. Freebase in the 80's was amazing 👏
I like how Dee from What's Happenin' makes an appearance.
😅😅😅😅
he wears a mask so he can still maintain a normal life as a celebrity.
Bokeem Woodbine
@@shadyganley8877 😂😂😂😂 it made me think of him too😂
Yeah but what about that poor young girl, damn😅
He wears a mask in order to maintain a normal life as a crackhead
I am the young lady wtf ya talking about my fam was just speaking on CRACK HEADS WTF BACK THEN
Just found out about this show on TikTok. How I survived this long on this earth without this gem, this pearl in my life I'll never know.
At least this guy was smart enough to hide his face.. # NO REGRETS.
👍🤣🤣
Police Still Looking for Him.
NO RAGRETS
Maybe that is his real face

The beret really completes his whole ensemble!
He wore a raspberry beret.
The sunglasses taped to his ski mask just put it over the top for me 😂😂😂
@retro mancer thankyou retro for making this UK man wet himself laughing...crying.
And it's sewed onto the hat I wonder if I can buy that on Temu😂😂
This here is what modern rap is standing on the shoulders of.

Rapping like this in 1990 is like trying to get a hit in 1966 by doing doowap. Gotta love this guy!
I didn't notice the year. I assumed it was 1980.

@@marks.3303Because there literally no do wop songs in that year.
This is the single greatest video on TH-cam
I agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!💕
No one has seen it though!!!! It’s crazy!
The sound of his chain moving around while he dances before the song starts.
I like the backup dancer's moves. I'm gonna learn 'em.
:)

There's NO way you could ever match her energy.
What are you gonna do for the other 23 hours and 59.5 minutes of the day?
I left it alone
The moment BJ saw EJ's keyboard he knew the future would be bright, next stop Public Access TV
The ski mask is to conceal the fact that this is another of Don Costello's characters.

I remember how bad it was when that all started-
Damn how has this not gone viral??
I found this last night, and I have already watched this seven times. I dare you to not sing along.
I can't stop walking around and just breaking out with crackhead just so iconic not a total flash in the pan like some other sell out grandmasters
I can barely watch it 🙄

Suge Knight used to pay him for protection
This style of rap is like 8 yrs out of date by this time lol

F**king HILARIOUS comment, my friend!! 😂😆✌️👍🏻❤️🏙👑
Hey..I bet you their next big hit will be “coke head!” 😭😁✌️
5 minutes after this video was finished he sold that necklace and the casio for an ounce of crack .
HYSTERICAL comment, my friend!!😂✌️👍🏻😆😭.
(You know he did.. he was jonesing for a hit the entire time he was performing)! 😂😭
Operator? BJ the Messenger. Get me my dealer on the line.
Oh shiiiit! HE CUT HOLES FOR HIS EARS IN A SKI MASK!!!! LMMFAO

I noticed its a hole for his side burn too x)
lmao
Keyboard guy you had one job...
Prepare for The BJ the Messenger Reunion 2020 Tour.
That mask
The slammed compressor and mic handling noise
the dancers
just incredible
The dancer dancing like me lmao
The production values of the video are impressive. Well done!!!
When you mess with the fire, your butt get burned.
That guy is jamming on one of those Casio $24.99 keyboards with the silly sound effects that were popular back in the 1980s.
I’m BJ the Messenger and I’m here to say....
This style was played out even by 1990
theyre using a keyboard with 1 second of sampling time and its all dedicated to the sample of him saying CRAAAAACKHEAAAD
It's true that anything goes in the 80s. That's why it was the best.
this was 1990 lmao
E.J. was pointing to himself when his casio said "Crackhead".. I don't think he understood the message of the song.
This jam needs more cowbell.
🤣🤣🤣😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Word 😂
straight up SEGA Genesis beat. Something from Sonic. lol
Toe Jam & Earl*
You are out of your minds, this was one of the Bubsy composers.
@@yesticles Absolutely has Toejam and Earl vibes.
Yep LOL
Reminds me of those hard-hitting PSAs on "Reno 911."
If I had a hat like that I’d finally get some.
The keyboard sounds like a soundtrack to Transport Tycoon on Sound Blaster 16. :D
The mic noise is my favorite part.
