I’m 57 and cannot express how much Millennials and Gen-Z missed musically in the 70s and 80s. It’s a shame they learn about this music because of the madness of sampling by today’s “artists”.
@ttllymxicoАй бұрын

@kimmieMPAАй бұрын
@@ttllymxico Uuuh, I was there. The first rap HIT (not first rap song) by the Sugar Hill Gang in 1979 used Chic’s “Good Times” as its music. Only a few rappers sampled. Now, most rappers and some pop acts sample pop music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Hell, even this new Asian pop singer gets his entire beat from Rene’ and Angela (early 80s). It’s a compliment…I just hope they properly credit the writers/owners of the original music.

Im 53, a grandfather of 6, and former "B-BOY" from Harlem. Original member of The Apache Kings, Zulu Nation (Ch.12/13) and I can still get down. Electric Boogie and all. I might not do well with head spins, but I can hold my own. I can smell the cardboard or linoleum as we lay down our craft. Each and everyone of us had a special move that we coveted. I remember going to different hoods to battle, the parties in the park at night. Growing up in the 80's was a very special time and Im proud to have been a part of it. I am a hip Hop Pioneer as well.

I couldn't breakdance as it took a crew, the stereo and the right environment. I had one or two people who knew how to body Pop but nowhere near this level. I guess my skill was recording and sampling. As I say, i needed the right crew to excel in this. Thank God for the 80's so awesome!! But still, the memories were awesome

This song changed my life. I just switched schools in grade 9. Last year of junior high. I had had some problems with depression and I had started drinking in grade 6. I was nervous. My first day. Came out of the bathroom and was walking towards the common area where all the kids were waiting and I could hear a beat. It was loud. I looked and it was a girl I knew from my previous school holding a ghetto blaster and she was blasting this song. I had never heard anything like it before. I walked up to her and said hello. We were inseparable that day forward. Hip hop gave me something to look forward to. Going to break dancing competitions and really getting into the whole scene. My life completely changed after that. The 80’s were so fun I can’t even put it into words to describe it properly. It was so new... the music etc. It was an exciting time to be a teenager. I will forever be grateful and this song was the start of all of it

Started 1980 as a ten year old & was fortunate to be a teen during the 80’s. No cell phones…no home computers. Just mtv & lots of great music & dance. People got along & you didn’t have to worry about being woke or politically correct. No unisex bathrooms or people identifying themselves by using pronouns. You were a guy or a girl & if you were gay, no problem. The music of that time brought all kinds of people together.

You are giving them too much credit. Before lockdowns, I was 41. Chick dancing like a gymnastics star. Ppl usually would shove tips in my belt. I ask one of the shy djs if he wanted to afterparty at my hot tub. He said, "How about you come out to my hot tub". So I did. Super impressed with all his computer tech. The next morning I asked how old he was. Guessing 35 but I was wrong he was 25. I often get mistaken for younger. But he freaked out. I didn't hear back from him. If the whole club thinks I'm younger since getting into clubs. Like what a wimp he ghosted me. I wanted to pick his mind on all computerized day job things. Nope. I barely was into the after party but their set was exceptional. This club was La Cage, Jeffrey Dahmers old stalking grounds. I could have lied about my age, but I'm a 1978 Vintage model. I'm proud to be from 78.
