The silence for the first 10 seconds was hilarious though. I thought it was a freeze frame until Cowboy started adjusting his vest LOL.

Dam, I still have this, New York, New York, The Message, Rappers Delight, Apache, Freedom, Birthday Party, and others on the original Sugarhill Records 33-1/3 albums, in the original light blue covers!!! Man, I’m old!!! 😂😂😂

Folk have slept on these masters of the mic. And I say this is still among the best raps ever, in all kinds of ways!

so glad for youtube which allows us to be able to see this on demand today.

Thanks to KZread this is my 1st time ever seeing this video... damn this takes me way to the house party days when nobody brought a gun when fights broke out....

THIS VIDEO IS SO SIMPLE BUT YET SO VERY EFFECTIVE

We were on our high-school class trip-Martin Luther King HS Phila Pa Stenton and Haines street- i pulled out my year book- Memory Lane!! When this song came on we went crazy!!❤❤
