This is the era when you used to look forward to going out, just having a good time. No drama, just dancing, networking, and then the meet-up at a restaurant afterward just to keep the party going.
Yep, one actual negative of Gangsta Rap. The other so-called negatives (to me) are false or exaggerated. But somehow it ended this type of Rap (Club, Party, comical, finesse,...)
Speaking of "Pure" this is "I know you got soul" by Bobby Byrd with James and his band backing him up. I still like what rap did with it. Rakim used it too.
@@Johnny-pj2pl Yes me and my friend used to be in love with him. He was just a few years older than us when he came out. I never knew he was from Queens until I watched a documentary on him.
Our cardio was on FLEEK back then. The artists, back-up dancers, the dance floor. You could break a sweat thinking about what moves you would do to the beat. A much healthier time in music.
This is when music and rap were clean, fun and had a beat to dance to. No shade. Women had real hair and kept their clothes on. Straight up fun! Miss those days, thank goodness for You Tube preserving the best of the best in music,
Same. Bought the boy genius off rhe strength of the single, play the hell out of it. Bought a day in the life without hearing a track and did the same. 😂
🗣🗣🗣 6th Grade Yo is a Baby. Ownleeeue Was put in 1990. I Was a Young 20 🤣🤣 it WAS a great Dance Track off his Album Kwame the Boy Genius & The New Beginning 👐🏾
What was the official name for that gear he used to wear? I had some of that stuff in the early 90's and im trying to explain it to my kids but cant find any pics of them online. They were those Rayon, polka dot tops and bottoms. MAN I cant believe i used to rock that stuff, lol
I remember when this song came out and I was single and I felt but naked. Let me take you by the hand and talk to you my heart would literally bleed. My beautiful sister I hope you dance to it at your wedding and dance to it well
Oh snap! I remember exactly where I was when this song was popular. It was a Friday and I had just got paid, clothes dry cleaned, ride detailed and fresh box cut from my barber. Oh you ask where was I. Honolulu Hawaii and going to club Area 51. Hot ass dance club where all the beautiful ladies gathered to be picked up if you had any GAME. I'd jump in my Peugeot 505 Turbo and get my valet park. Step into Area 51 on tilt just a lil. Then begin to push my game on some of those beautiful tourist looking for some Hawaiian fantasy. Every Friday night was a success...yaw feel me?
This takes me back to nothing but good times!! Dancing all hard in the club or whenever it came on, was go time!! These kids don't know nothing about this era!! Make sure you keep banging these hits so your kids and grandkids keep them alive and well!! 2019
He still jamming too. I saw him Friday night in Charleston S.C. He was performing with an artist signed to his label. Ms.Vivian Green and they were awesome.
Kwame and A New Beginning created something special with this track, the dance floors of that time at the NCO Club on Fort Dix, NJ were jam-packed with this cut, well arranged, the horn section sounds real even though I'm sure played with a sampler/synth, then ending with what sounds like a real trombone. To this day I remember the excitement on the dance floor with the beginning of the 2nd Verse @ 1:34; Kwame's delivery is crisp and clear, and Tasha's Vocals, forget about it!!! Lastly, the great sample-groove is from Bobby Byrd's "I Know You Got Soul"
yeah this hit was tight ,Danced to this at Ft Carson clubs Co and local Colorado Spring club called the Paliedus 1990-1992... Saw RIFF there also... Also was At the NCO club FT Lewis Wa... you know you were in shape back then to be in the Army then to go to clubs and dance
March AFB and Norton AFB all night Disco's . Then Club Metro Riverside California. All we did was dance. Club full of Beautiful Cali women. Best times ever.
Omg .... Late 80's early 90's Nostalgia 🤗 I had my cut pixie(Halle Berry/ Toni Braxton) cut having fun in the club dancing like there was no tomorrow (sweating my hair out🤦🏾♀️)The club was packed & hot but those were fun times🤗
Man, I am so glad that I was a child of the 80's! I believe we were the last generation to grow up values. This was back when you dance to music freely, dress as an individual, walk to the corner store to buy pickles/ice-e, Now and Laters and not worry about getting shot. I am used to dance to this every Friday while my Mom/Aunts/Uncles would play Quarters, domino's, spades!! #MEMORIES
Kwame set a whole trend from his style of music his swag from famous high top ramp hair cut with the dye in front to the poker dot clothes. I love his style and music I was blessed to grow up in this era ❤
I love it … I remember the house parties omg this some came up and I was beyond overjoyed… old school hip hop, r&b and freestyle music never ever dies .. love it
I love this Song!!! I remember being 6 yrs old n my daddy playin it the car n me n my brother jammin in the back seat!!! Such great memories!!! I love u Kwame!!! Still jammin in 2020 ...This is a classic!!!
If you laying down, you're gonna get your ass up! Thank God I was raised in the 80's. I remember watching this video and hearing this song for the first time. It still hits me the same. One of the many 80's classics! I remember dancing to this song at my middle school year end party. My kids find it weird that I can't listen to a single one of their songs. How can I, when I had real music like this to listen to.
If you were raised off this consider yourself blessed ❤❤
Mom's favorite song!!❤

Exactly. Now every other word is nigga, bitch, ho, or shooting. Pretty sad situation for hip hop and the black community.

I always thought Kwame was the "Prince" of rap music, ....produce his own music, an ACTUAL backing band, and gorgeous back up singers😀👍
No one can define this better!!!!!
Greatest comment you could have ever given him 💜
He respected the Art form of Hip Hop.
Great song!! Very underrated song and artist. I miss the days when music was about having fun, dancing with your lady, and partying with your friends.
true
Antonio M
Fuck yes
This is how rap is supposed to portray black women
Your mama, granny, and baby mama counted for 3; a 4th from your sister and a 5th from your aunt you slimy pig
too sad that you have little wayne and the other idoits
PREACH
I agree. I'm older, but my music we were called a brick house, disco lady, and a bad mama jama, etc. The lyrics were respectful.
Except, this song is really made great my the female vocalist who is un-named in the main credits.
I was 17 in 1990.. im 50 now and this song still brings back good memories of house parties
And you better believe it❤
These were the best times..We were so lucky to experience this time
Damn. I remember buying this cassette single. For $2.99.
FirstName LastName me too and what I used to like is the Dolby stereo sign
Cassette singles, wow time went by so fast.......
It's pronounced cassingle. ;-)
#cassingles bought with pizza money😉
Strawberries
if there's any hip hop artist that defined 1990 besides hammer & kid n play, it's Kwame. And this is a bonified club classic!
+Shawn Williams
