"
It Takes Two" was a
1988 hip-hop song by Rob
Base &
DJ E-Z Rock, the title track from their debut
album, produced by
Teddy Riley and later certified platinum. The song sampled heavily from
Lyn Collins'
1972 song "
Think (About It)", using multiple drum breaks, the well-known "
Woo! Yeah!" sample, as well as the lyric sung by
Collins which gave "It Takes Two" its title. The famous introduction of the song was spoken over a sample of "
Space Dust" by The
Galactic Force Band (1978). "It Takes Two" first became a regional hit and then slowly climbed the
Billboard Hot 100, eventually topping the chart and picking up a multi-platinum single certification. The song also peaked at #3 on the
Hot Dance Music/
Club Play chart. Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock are a hip-hop duo from
Harlem, New York. The duo consists of Rob Base (aka
Robert Ginyard) and DJ E-Z Rock (aka
Rodney '
Skip' Bryce). In 2008, their song "It Takes Two" was ranked number 37 on
VH1's
100 Greatest Songs of Hip-Hop. This channel is dedicated to all the great rap music from back in the day.
