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.

RIP 1958-2009 broken Michael Jackson

The PS3 is cheaper and thinner, but still won't play anything that made it famous. It's like if Prince was a game console.

That's Detroit's own Felix & Jarvis with the first rap record that came out of the D. They also made "Jam the House" Don Was of Was( not Was) produced them.
