It Takes Two - Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock (1988)

"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.
