I have been looking for the name of this song and the artist for quite some time . That rhyme has been in my head for over 20 years (I'm 41 ) . I loved hip hop when it was pure . I guess I still do !

This is definately one of the best Old-Skool Electro tunes ever made. 808 beats riddled with Kraftwerk and about a dozen other samples. A timeless classic; simply brilliant!

This is definately one of my favourite old skool electro/hiphop tracks... Unfortunately I only recently heard this track a few years ago on Dave Clarke - Electro Boogie Volume 2!

I wish I knew about all this stuff much earlier...

I love it so much I had to type up the lyrics, this guy really knows how to throw down a rhyme. smile

The way that the voice is filtered or vocoded sounds great as well. It's really catchy.

"Beat by beat baby, rhyme by rhyme
My body’s shaking, body’s aching, just to make you mine
So as you dance to my music and your body will sweat
Here are the words you should never forget
I am the prince of desire, the King of your dreams
And there will never be another in your life like me
Cause I’m so tall, dark and handsome and claiming to be
The hardest lover undercover of the M.I.C.
From New York to London, from Watts to Rome
My beat is thumping, feet are jumping for DJ Unknown
Computerized musician with the futuristic beat
The bass in your face, the chord’s so unique
I am the music of the future, the sound of the street
Chosen me the supersceder of the untrod beat
Though the music’s devastating it was simple to create
Cause I am the master of the 808........so be there!"
