Just heard this for the first time. Mind-blowing. Early 90s hip-hop was indeed the best.

Classic track. I remember being in a small club in Milton Keynes in 89 & Silver Bullet was there to perform live. When he arrived he just came in on his own, walked to the bar & was standing there just drinking coca cola. Everybody was doing New Jack Swing dancing on the dance floor, nobody recognized him until he hit the mic & dropped 20 Seconds to Comply. He sounded great live real raw hip hop no silly gimmicks, just a cool guy. He was on the promotion trail for the single before it hit the charts. Great times in UK hiphop.

Brilliant dance tune & with some good sampling from RoboCop 👍🏾

Probably the best baseline intro ever.

I still have this on cassette tape and bring forth.....this was one amazing artist bridging that gap (at the time) between hip hop and electronic sampled music (to become rave) with the likes of technotronic / snapp / m.a.r.r.s and the other house/hip hop legends like jungle brothers etc .these guys helped usher in rave and I was there as a young lad from 13+ listening to electro at the very start then acid and deep heart to rave proper...lived the rave. Happy daze

this was the soundtrack of my teens listening to hip hop on both sides of the Atlantic, killer classic that’s aged well and even now sounds light years ahead.

Timeless

The beat is so hard, most people ignore the content of the lyrics. That 1st verse is *hard*! An absolute anthem of my youth. *Everyone* who was into proper beats back then knows this riddim!

I remember the Oxford B Boy crew went to Aylesbury to battle these guys at breakdancing, good battle, we did beat them, their best head spinner must have been about 9 years old!!! May 1985, what a good year.
