came for the break, stayed for the song

[isaiahwinbrone]

one of the best sampled songs in hip-hop

[TKsh]

Legendary drum break aside, the rest of the song is excellent. The lyrics, the melody, the piano.

[susanfit]

Melvin Bliss should be inducted into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame.

[Gordygrooveking]

Total respect Mr Melvin Bliss for this gem bigger than ever !!!

[oskamadison]

As ill as that break is, LISTEN to what the man is talkin' about. Deep...

[carbaccord]

1973 and listen to those lyrics, he might as well be describing 2023. Deep cut.

[allensaei]

I was drawn by the break but the song ended up a classic for me

The riff that started hip-hop. Courtesy of Bernard Purdie on drums. Everybody (Naughty by Nature, Wu-Tang Clan, Run-DMC, Ice T, De la Soul, NWA, etc.) sampled it. Why isn't it on CD?

Did everyone forget about one of the illest tracks with this sample from MASTA ACE, Saturday Night!!!

I DON'T CARE WHO SAMPLED THIS. PAY ATTENTION TO THE LYRICS. AN EXPRESSION OF A VERY DARK REALITY. "THE HUSTLE CHANGED. WE'RE HUSTLING BACKWARDS. "
