R.I.P. POW Wow Soul Sonic Force

Rest in Praise & Peace, Brotha!!! I first heard Planet Rock in or about the summer of 1982, that's when I fell in love with Hip Hop and my life was positively changed!!! Planet Rock became the base drum pattern for an inumerable amount of Hip Hop music, it remains influential to this very day!!! Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!
 
When brother Pow Wow was rapping that part he had actually forgotten the lyrics, obviously intending to go start over.
But the Tommy boy records boss said keep that in there. Rest is history.

I've heard 2 versions of this. I've heard this one, and I've heard that he didn't have anything written yet, but he was showing them how the cadence would go over the beat. After they heard that, they decided to keep it. Either way, it was dope!
