In an ongoing thread about hip-hop jump-offs, this is certainly one of my favorite. I remember at large a party in this community center in Queens circa 1990, when the song came on it definitely raised the roof. Who else digs this song?

YEP! This joint is still a jump off.

Definitely gets me dancing.

top 5 Howie Tee productions:

1. Special Ed "I Got It Made"
2. Chubb Rock "Treat 'Em Right"
3. UTFO "Roxanne, Roxanne"
4. The Real Roxanne "Bang Zoom (Let's Go-Go)"
5. Whistle "(Nothing Serious) Just Buggin'"

Good one Cinister. This song bring back memories of high school.

waht about you bad chubbs?!

haha I was listening to that today.

Hang it on the wall of Michael Jackson's crib cuz I'm bad
Matter fact, I'm a thriller

Treat 'em right.....
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,.....
Treat 'em right.....
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,.....

That's the main thing I remember about the song.


It's OK. I remember this one from my old whoring club days of the early 1990s when the DJs were spinning a mixture of house and fast rap.

I like the lyric The green doesn’t symbolize I made it on the top
But robocop last year was a shock

I had to do a double take on the thread author! One of the best hip hop party tunes of its era. I also like the number he did with Tevin Campbell from the Boyz N the Hood soundtrack - Just Aske Me To.

he looked so weird in the video. He just entered hanging around all these young kids like tevin. It was meant to look funny.

I got a chubb album somewhere? Did he do "fat rat" off the strictly business soundtrack? I like that cut

I love that "Fat Rat" song too, but it's by Grand Puba (of Brand Nubian).

CinisterCee said:

1990 Chubb Rock pops up on the scene

Str8 jump off. another old school cut i like is "Rock-n-Roll Dude"

A guy used to come to our high school with this silver drug kingpin suitcase (like they have in the movies whenever they want to deliver money) and the teachers would let him come in an talk to us about the dangers of drugs and unprotected sex. Anyway, his big claim to fame was that he was in this video, though I never actually saw him in it. But I guess he's the guy wearin the Easter Sunday suit dancin hard as fuck.
