Name that tune

[colt45john]

Maybe someone on here can help figure out a song title and who did it. All I remember was it was a hip hop song from around 85-86 and the MC sounded British. In the song he named off cities like LA,Detroit DC, and it said something to the affect of "Get Some". The beat had an industrial sound to it kinda hard to explain. I know that's not much to go on, but hopefully somebody will recognize it.

You tried Shazam? I've found many a tune on that app.

Is it that one that goes,

"Duh duh duh dududuh duh. Duh dududuh duh duh?"

 

[trippy1313]

I am actually looking though. Haha

No idea. But Slick Rick did pop into my head.

 

[colt45john]

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Slick Rick, sounded more like a white guy but its hard to say. I had recording of it I did from the radio, it was in a mix with a number of other songs. If I could find it that sure would help, but I haven't seen that tape in over twenty years.

Spit out more lyrics if you remember any. Ill try to track it down if I can

 

[colt45john]

I do remember him saying "London England get some" or get down something like that.

I was trying to thing of rappers from the era
Richie Rich
Derek B
Overlord X

Soooo long ago now!

 

[colt45john]

only 30 years

 

[trippy1313]

Derek B has a song called Get Down, but says nothing about detroit or anything in the states

 

[colt45john]

Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it. I been trying to figure out the name of that song for a long time. All the searches I have done for British rappers of the 80's have done no good. Gonna have to face the fact that I may never figure out what that song was, man its aggravating .

 

[trippy1313]

You'll find it eventually. Did you check that Derek B guy? His stuff sound kind of "Industrial" I think.

 

[colt45john]

yeah. I checked a bunch of his songs. I may check him out again, this time more thoroughly.
