Are you ready to throwdown? YES WE ARE! Are you ready to throwdown? YES WE ARE!!

This is truly a forgotten jam to many but it was one of the baddest and most popular jams of the summer of 1982. It's "Flamethrower Rap" by Felix and Jarvis. Anybody into this one?

I recently heard that on XM and had totally forgotten about this song. I remember when Coolio sampled it a while back. His version was weak compared to the original.
