    Peace to thedude90 for the heads up.....................................

    In this bass-heavy Def Jam classic from 1986, Doctor Dre and T-Money (future presenters of Yo MTV Raps along with Ed Lover) play two Long Island B-Boys riding the bus around town checking out the local crews.

    Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys, Russell Simmons, and Rick Rubin all get shouts, as well as a few Strong Island radio personalities.

    This beat was recycled by Masta Ace for “Born to Roll”. The Trouble Funk style breakdown near the end is from Queen’s “Dragon Attack”.

    ...............
    Now onto my own experience MISTER_DIA-TRIBE_73
    In my experience in all those days/years back. I hearing this inter-mixed by Nomis Sirrah AKA Simon Harris on a radio show hosted by MIKE ALLEN... Onsight you would have thought this older DJ was like Tony Blackburn and I couldn't agree more? But this DJ whether manipulated or not played some of the best releases in Hip Hop that would influence me and others into LOVING this DIY art form! RIP Mike Allen... Peace because knowledge means everything in the most abstract of ways...

    Also, this track influenced G DOUBLE E https://discogs.cinepelis.org/G-Double-E-Fire-When-Ready/master/12848

      Knowledge Me = obscenely prescient bass track as sampled by Masta Ace on 'Born To Roll'
      Phat 808 beats with thin keyboard bass played live on top : )
      If you don't already have it, get one in today!
