Party people
Can y'all get funky?
Soul Sonic Force - can y'all get funky?
The Zulu Nation - can y'all get funky?
Yaaah!
Just hit me
Just taste the funk and hit me
Bambaataa's jus' gettin' so funky, now, hit me
Yaaah!
Just hit me
Just start to chase your dreams
Up out your seats, make your body sway
Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
Love Life Live
Come play the game, our world is free
Do what you want but scream
We know a place where the nights are hot
It is a house of funk
Females and males
Both headed all for the disco
The D.J. plays your favorite blasts
Takes you back to the past, music's magic (poof)
Bump bump bump get bump with some flash, people
Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop
Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop
The Soul Sonic Force - Mr. Biggs, Pow Wow, and M.C. Globe
We emphasize the show, we got ego
Make this your night, just slip it right, and by day
As the people say, live it up, shucks
No work or play, our world is free
Be what you be - be
Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop
Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop
You're in a place where the nights are hot
Where nature's children dance and set a chance
On this Mother Earth, which is our rock
The time has come, and work for soul, show you really got soul
Are you ready hump bump bump, get bump, now let's go, house
Twist and turn, the you let your body slide
You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce

Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
Love Life Live

I don't think people understand and appreciate the creativity that was utilized at the beginning of Hip Hop.
@motherfuckergs2948
I love this, money are destroying the world
@JazzyAmbitions
They was not doing nothing new when it came to stage presence.... Evidence of preexisting examples exits. Now as for the utilization of dancers talent in that respect at that time became huge. So what's left?.... Lyrics and instrumentals! 75% of the times the beats carry the song! The other 30% lyrics!........ Now.
Knowing this all i can do is appreciate the organizers! Work done on stage and to promote the music.
Nothing new under the Sun! It's about promoting, creating a certain vibe and rolling it out.
@andrewruesche3395
Hip Hop originals never received fully due credit for their innovation in music.
@3737raider
This is not the beginning.
