Talk:It Takes Two (Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock song)

message: That beat is instantly familiar to almost anyone who's heard music in the last 20 years, even if they don't know where it came from.
Can someone at least identify on what album it was originally released?  --In Defense of the Artist 16:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: That's specious at best. The referenced article says "There are many critics and listeners who claim that Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock's 'It Takes Two' is the greatest hip-hop single ever cut."
So, a nebulous reference to "many critics" is supportive of the claim in the beginning of the article? I'm removing the claim and the reference. 98.213.251.93 (talk) 04:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I believe it was actually James Brown singing the "woo" and the "yeah" and not Collins, though the "It takes two..." certainly was Collins. - Team4Technologies (talk) 21:38, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas not even mentioned on this site?
I think it should be, because this song was in GTA:SA soundtrack.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.143.126.238 (talk) 22:20, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

message: It Takes Scoop redirects here, but that song isn't mentioned at all on this page. It should have its own section here, given it was a charting hit in various countries. KaisaL (talk) 15:15, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

message: August 2, 1988 is too late - the record made it to Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart May 21, 1988. The RIAA Gold & Platinum certification record lists a release date of Feb. 1, 1988, although their dates rarely match up with in-store release dates. Further research needed.

replies: text: According to The Complete Book of the British Charts, by Tony Brown, it made the British singles chart April 16, 1988. In the March 5 issue of Billboard, it was mentioned in Bill Coleman's Dance Trax column, but hadn't made any national charts yet. I'm going to change the date from August 2 to February 1. It may be wrong but it's less wrong than August 2. And February 1 is stated by an authoritative source, the RIAA. PatConolly (talk) 07:02, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

text: One more thing. The Hip Hop Radio Archive lists this as being played on the London radio Capital Rap Show January 29, 1988. https://hiphopradioarchive.org/show/181 This supports a February 1 release date. I wonder how August 2 got chosen? PatConolly (talk) 07:09, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
