They were popular around the mid-80's, with songs such as "Bite It", "Split Personality", "Roxanne, Roxanne", and the ballad "Fairy Tale Lover". I like them alot, they were kind of the "Outkast of the 80's", if you will. I can hear some of you thinking to yourself, "Who is UTFO, and why do they make you think of Outkast?" I know some of you will disagree with me on that, but UTFO was quite popular back in the 80's. Anybody remember them and whatever happened to them?

of course I remember! they were the hard core outlet for the Full Force production team and emerged outta the whole "Roxanne" blast.
last album I have was "Bag it and Bone it" from maybe 1991 or 1992

I'm glad that somebody remembers them. Didn't know that they were associated with Full Force (I like them too), and that they had an album out in 1991 or 1992.

"hey stupid... yeah u roxanne gitcha face out tha garbage can, dont try ta hide now cus u think u a star.. come out and face us ike tha man u are" lol... i got that album... OMG lol

I remember the name, but don't remember their songs.

Yup!! and don't forget " Ya Cold Wanna Be With Me"!!

Split Personality used to be my jam when I was a real young buck! For years I couldn't find anybody else who remembered that song. I glad you posted this thread. Brings back memories.

"Because I need someone 2 b with someone 2 talk 2"

What about "Pick up the Pace"

Classic time 4 hiphop

OH MY GOD!
I REMEMBER THEM TOO.

AND.remember how all the imitators came out after them.
i remember some of the old rap.(from another group)

here it is....
when home boy came out he wasn't the same
skintight jeans and he changed his name
a pretty pink bow on the tip of his shoe
and a polka dot blouse just to hide his tattoo
i said "what? my man?his name? roxanne?
walkin' round town with a twitch in his can?
naw,that's not my boy i know you must be dreaming
'cuz i know my home boy used to be a real he-man
so you think roxanne's really hot
well check out the jerri curl wave to hide his bald spots
and if you look a

UTFO were a lot of fun. Roxanne Roxanne was easily their best and best-known song, but I also really dug Split Personality. That song is so 8th grade for me.

I remember them too. But, lately I've been thinking about The Boogie Boys (A Fly Girl). I think they were out around the same time.

DAMN YOU!!! I loved that song. That phat back beat was too cool to me way back when. I miss some those days of cool hip hop. " FLLLLLYYYYY girl, FLLLLLYYYYY Girl ".

UncleGrandpa said:

Dang, y'all are taking me back to 7th grade! What's next? "Itching for a Scratch," and "You be Illin'?"

UncleGrandpa said:

LOL! That was the jamm!!!!

UptownDeb said:

Hmm, I thought that UTFO did the song "Fly Girl" (at least that's what the track that I d/led from Kazaa said). But it could be incorrect, because peeps are always putting the wrong artist's name on certain tracks.

TheRealFiness said:

UTFO had some funny songs, very enjoyable.

paligap said:

Hmm, don't remember that jam. I need to see if Kazaa or Morpheus has it.

Redayh said:

OMG - great songs! I was just listenin' to Itchin for a Scratch the other day. Full Force's greatest hits disc is excellent. And You Be Illin' cracks me UP! My boyfriend had never heard it until a few months ago and he couldn't stop laughing at these lyrics:

Dinner, you ate it
There is none left
It was salty, with butter
And it was def

You proceeded to eat it
Cuz you were in the mood
But holmes you should have read
It was a can of dog food!

Redayh said:

No problem, my pleasure. It brings back memories for me too.

psychodelicide said:

Who can forget UTFO?? I remember someone would start the beat in class then a female would start rappin.

psychodelicide said:

Yeah, whoever put that on Kazaa is wrong -- it was the Boogie Boys

Redayh said:

I recently d/led the rap song "You Be Illin'", that's a great song. I played it for a close friend of mine but she didn't remember it.

AQUABOOGIE said:

Kewl.

Does anybody remember "Baby lets go-go" by the Real Roxanne?

RipHer2Shreds said:

Thanks for the clarification. Cracks me up how people mistake one group or singer for another. Now I need to go back and change my track listing on the CD that has that song on it .

AQUABOOGIE said:

That rap doesn't ring a bell, but I would probably remember it if I heard it.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I remeber that Itchin' for a Scratch was from the Force M.D's. Full Force had that song " Unfaithful " and they produced songs for Lisa Lisa & cult jam. Damn, I miss my youth some times.

My mistake -- meant Force MD's typed Full Force (though I love them too!). Thanks for the correction.
