DJ E-Z Rock Dead at 46
Even though the song was released in 1988, there wasn't a club - dance, rock, otherwise - that this song wasn't played at least once a night throughout the 1990s. "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock was the song. Love it or hate it, its insane popularity cannot be denied.
Hip hop pioneer DJ E-Z Rock, born Rodney 'Skip' Bryce, teamed with lifelong Harlem friend Rob Base to create the song, died yesterday from undisclosed circumstances at the age of 46. The album It Takes Two went platinum and yielded two other hits besides the title track. The song changed the world of sampling and itself was sampled by dozens of other artists.

Rob Base's intro lyric might be the best lyrics ever for introducing an artist to the public.
ReplyDelete"I want to rock right now/
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down"
It's like the Brady Bunch theme of rap.
