乌鸦传媒淚 wanna rock right now.乌鸦传媒

The lyrics in the opening of Rob Base乌鸦传媒檚 It Takes Two, will undoubtedly be shouted out at high decibels when the I Love the 90乌鸦传媒檚 Tour lands in the South Okanagan Events Centre on Sept. 16.

The song, which listed as one of the 50 greatest hip hop songs ever, is just as catchy as it was when it was released on his debut album that went multi-platinum with then partner DJ E-Z Rock in 1988. The long-standing popularity of the song is something that Base himself has noticed in the massive tour which included over 110 shows across North America in 2016 and an additional 40 shows this year with stops in Australia and New Zealand.
