The History
A skating rink anthem that provided a perfect break for early hip-hop DJs with its repetitive, hypnotic groove.
Originally created for roller skating rinks, this track found new life in hip-hop sampling.
The track's repetitive, hypnotic quality made it perfect for extended DJ sets and early hip-hop block parties.
De La Soul's 'Me Myself and I' transformed this skating rink anthem into one of Native Tongues' biggest hits.
Digital Underground's 'The Humpty Dance' showed how the sample could support both party rap and creative innovation.
The song exemplified the connection between roller rink culture and early hip-hop's community-based origins.
