Another one of those vague information things that SDMBers always seem to be able to answer…

All I really remember about the video for sure is that it was two groups of street kids dancing against each other. I guess it was supposed to be one of those ‘You Got Served’ sort of things. I think the venue was a large warehouse, although it may have been outside, near a large warehouse. The actual musicians never appeared in the video.

I think - and I could be totally wrong about this - that the song was credited as one of those “vs” things, like “So and So vs Some Other Guy”. I thought one of the artists might have been Daft Punk, but I’ve googled and Wiki -ed and Youtubed to no avail.

Any help?

Thanks,

Oh, I totally know which one you mean! It’s “It’s Like That” by Run DMC vs Jason Nevins. Here, have a link:

Bingo! Thanks, **The Real Thing** , that’s it exactly.

I think it’s the first time I ever saw that whole street gang/dance off thing without it being the Sharks vs. the Jets. Now, there seems to be a million of them.

Thanks,

No prob! Thanks for reminding me of that song and video, they’re both favorites of mine.
