Jazzy Julie Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 This looks like im sucking up now but im really interested. How successful were u back in the day, when jam on it came out, it was the same year i was born so its probably why i havnt heard of u. Im guessin u were pretty successful since mos def covered u and Will sampled u. But did u have good chart success and stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessin u were pretty successful since mos def covered u and Will sampled u. But did u have good chart success and stuff? We had a few records that did well on the R&B charts, and Jam On It actually did well on the Pop charts, which was almost unheard of for Rap back then. Pierre Cardin and Jermaine Dupri covered Jam On It as well, and lots of people have sampled it, as well as other records of ours. We were on a national tour with Cameo and were also on the original Fresh Fest with RunDMC, The Fat Boys, Whodini and Kurtis Blow. We must have done at least 100 shows with RunDMC, a couple of shows with them opening for us. In fact, the very first show we ever did with them, the promoter only had enough to pay 1 group, so he paid us and stiffed them. They got mad and pulled the plug on the tape player right in the middle of our show. We were also with them the night Run first pulled his "who's house is this" routine (he was hella drunk). Oh...and WE were the FIRST Hip-Hop band...not Stetsasonic. :davidblaine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 did anyone get this months blender magazine? they had their 500 greatest songs list.. newcleus made it #178 Jam On It Newcleus [1984] Divine nonsense from chipmunk-voiced electro outfit Who says early rap was all nonsense? Newcleus's breakthrough dance anthem tells the story of rapper Cozmo D ("from outer space," apparently) holding a block-party battle with Superman, and is all about crushing electro beats, fizzing synthesizers and squeaky backing vocals that sound like Alvin & The Chipmunks' tough cousins. Cozmo D wins the battle, by the way. Disco Kryptonite, y'see. they also had some interesting choices..really good songs and then they'd have britney spears baby one more time :sick: :sick: as far as rap they had artists like das efx and run dmc.

Cozmo D Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 It was first on a DJ Clue mixtape, then it came out as a single on Tommy Boy. I don't think it ever came out on an album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
