an absolutely sublime hip-hop track. One of those rare tracks that, no matter what you are into (rock, EDM, pop), you'll probably like this. The Spandau Ballet sample is so good, and really carries the track, especially in the chorus, the harmonies are gorgeous.

The drums, oh the drums. Ashleys roachclip, with not a lot of editing. Again, really works and they're so funky. This break is deffo up there with Amen and Funky Drummer.

Just a very very good record, and one that ive loved since i was 10 in 1991.

Začít píseň s předstíraným scatem je čest i svatokrádež. Nedotknutelná pocta, která se nedá uchopit. Sampling Spandau Ballet má mokré kalhotky, protože zpívání o pravdivosti přesahuje desetiletí. Dready a zvraty říkají umělecká důvěryhodnost nebo přílišná snaha je charakteristickým znakem každého neúspěšného umělce. Nošení své váhy v bižuterii člověka nikdy nezabilo, ale zkažené mléko ano. Každá psychedelická montáž začíná jako monochromatický záblesk. Brodit se kouřem barvy pohmožděných hvězd je symbolem výletů teenagerů, na které jsem byl příliš obezřetný. Podvodní křest čistí nečistoty, ale je velmi podobný utonutí. Náhodné dívky podávají pseudo-hip-hopovým umělcům květiny a odplouvají ze setu, aniž by je nikdo neviděl. Takhle to vždycky končí, milí lidé odejdou, než vám dají svá jména. Christino Applegate, musíš si mě obléct. Vytvořit portrét v mém vlastním životě nebylo nikdy tak těžké.

You have to own this, it will take you back to the 90s, it's a total blast, the dynamics of the press, this is how vinyl was made in the 91s, take it and run, bro...

Not sure about other streaming services, but this is not available on Spotify in a format other than those terrible "re-recorded" versions (and now that I notice it, the same appears to be true for Apple Music as the sidebar here is showing --> ). So I am very happy to have a physical copy of the original And the extended mix is just a lovely extended version of the original without the added bells and whistles that often plague 'extended mixes'.

Shouts out to the b side track ‘for the love of peace’ sounds like GangStarr sampling Shuggie Otis. Very nice, under rated..

The Youth mix really makes the track shine, the LP version lacks a bit.

I bought this on cassette single when it first came out and over 27 years later I finally got it on vinyl and had to ask myself why did I wait so long..reminds me of summer days in my youth.

This track was a complete generations hit. I still have tears in my eyes each time I listen to this tune.

Pretty catchy tune. Spandau Ballet samples on top of Paid In Full bassline and some pop rapping.

True from Spandau Ballet sampling, a great voice singing and rapping and a good videoclip for MTV...was a big Club Hit all over the world and works on the radio too. P.M. Dawn and his beautiful tune who still plays too many djs in their sets. Classic...
