Ok, so here's the story. In the early 80's I was part of a 3 man Breakdance crew (Soul System Crew). We performed a lot and even got invited to the Alberta Summer Games to perform. There were very few songs with a good enough beat to breakdance to back then so this was one we used a lot. I did this song mostly for posterity and history's sake (I did do some free stylin' at about 3:15 during the break). The song is about the injustices of the time and the end of the song is how the band get's arrested for no just reason. This was also when rap was just beginning and this band took rap music from the house parties to the social platforms of the time, later developed by Public Enemy and KRS-One. It was #51 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Hits of All Time which was the highest of any eighties release and was the highest ranking Hip Hop song. By 2012 it was the highest ranked Hip Hop song of all time. Not my best song but like I said, I did it to relive the memories. And you thought you were just going to listen to a song lol. That's definitely worth a like, comment and scubscribe. 馃槑
