I know that has been asked before and there are more than one possible answers but which song could be credited with starting the whole freestyle era?


i think it was "let the music play" or " A E I O U"

I don't think it was planet rock but i have heard people say it was.

what do you think?

A lot of people seem to think it was "Let The Music Play" but I remember reading somewhere that the actual song that gave birth to freestyle was "Please Don't Go" by Nayobe
 
i dont believe it was just one song ..but an evolution into the movement we called freestyle. from songs like jenny burtons "i remeber what you like"... shannons " let the music play"...lisa lisa and cult jam i wonder if i take you home" c bank "one more shot" carol lynn towens "99 and a half".... many others but to say one song started it..cant really narrow it down to one song

and planet rock was definetly NOT the start of free style..but actually can symbolize THE END because when every body and thier mothers started using that beat..it pretty much destroyed the sound and credibility of freestyle amazes me even to this day that its still used in "new songs" by producers who just wont take the time or effort to make something new.... i hate it!!! if a song even starts out with that beat i wont even listen to it..ill toss the cd out of my car
 
Yeah, this topic is so damn debatable that it makes me sick! Every time someone starts a thread like this, it gets no where and 10 people end up being banned for startin' shit.

I think it's a toss up between Brenda K Starr's "Vicious Beat" or Tina B's "Nothing's Gonna Come Easy" .

By the way, what exactly is Freestyle?

so true, whenever i see these threads i just thing here we go again..

if only freestyle wasn't so, scientific. LOL
 
wow here we go again. there is no right or wrong answer here so why all the negative sh*t.. this thread was started because im just curious to hear what people think not to start sh*t. some of you don't admit it but you like the drama and you start with the negativity then when I rebut all hell breaks loose. if you hate to be involved with threads like this the answer is simple. DON'T RESPOND. you see mods "everytime I try to get out , they pull me back in". lighten up already.
 
CF Novelas are the bomb! lol

Nah but I just wanted to say about the songs that may have started the whole freestyle era...I think that it came from the hip-hop scene of the early 80s actually...because if you ever heard of that song called "Play At Your Own Risk" by Planet Patrol, you'd hear the similarities in the Freestyle Sound. That song came out way before Lisa Lisa came out with her songs, etc etc.
 
I'm going with Planet Patrol "Play At Your Own Risk" (1983). Sure it wasn't called "Freestyle" but it's clearly the prototype

I totally agree, I mean if one listens to the song, they will hear that the beats have similarity to the typical Freestyle songs you hear today.
 
so "play at your own risk" came out before "planet rock"?

Its an electro song.Which is one of the foundations of freestyle but not the ONLY one.There is more to freestyle than a simple planet rock beat.You got the hearthrob,percussions,and typical basslinme that was missing on that Planet Patrol record.The first song to put all these elements together was "Let the music play".

Actually its hard to tell...I think that both came out at the same time. Maybe they are associated with the same producer since they have the same sound.
 
CarlitosWay, I'm not trying to start anything but everytime you happen to post something is always negative. Bro, I've let many posts go by from you and I haven't said anything,but it's just that you seem to be pissed off at the world. I don't know you and I don't want to know you but chill out, it's just a simple question and a thread don't blow a simple situation into something huge.

Have a coke and a smile and enjoy life, if you're misreable, don't take it out on everyone else that has something positive to say.

Peace,

I know that you r going to chew me out but oh well.................

Since when was it an "electro" song? What is "electro"?? Whether its electro, etc., all of it is computerized. There are no real instruments.
