A superb track, anyone else into whodini, or anyone see them back in the day with Run DMC, Kurtis Blow et al?

I remember this track b/c it had a cool tempo. Thomas Dolby used to work with Whodini when laying down the tracks.

You know what makes this track great? Thomas Dobly produced and played keyboards on this track.

Back in the day, i couldn't get away from Whodini, seemed to be everybody was bumping it. They didn't move me back then, but now i have a greater appreciation for them. Especially, their DJ (I forget his name) but everytime someone talks about Whodini's live show they always bring up how his was scratching with his tennis shoes whilst the other memebers was trying to pull him away from the tables.

Back in Black kicked ass

Back in Black was thier best album.

I started a thread on Whodini about a month ago. I think they rock and I still listen to them now. Are there any groups out there today that sound like they may have been influenced by them? The only reason why I would say the Black eyed Peas is because they sang "one love" in their song "where is the love".

You have a point. I think they owe somebody some royalties for real.

Word! Somebody needs to pay Ectasy and Jaleel some dividends, lol!

Don't forget "One Love" by Nas (w/Q-Tip).

I heard that remake and it sucked. There are certain classic that people shouldn't fuck with if they can't do it right.

lol what? it wasn't a remake, and it was awesome.

CinisterCee said:

I like One Love version by Whodini.

me too, but every cut on Illmatic is a classic in its own right.

True Dat. I have to admit that fact.
