    Default Latino/Puerto Rican rap song "SMOOTH"

    I need help here guys:

    Way back in the late 80's early 90's there was this rap video that was often shown on either Yo MTV Raps or BET's Rap video show. I think the title of the song was called "SMOOTH" because the hook would repeat it over and over again after each verse. Very catchy beat/hook with a lot of bass.

    I think this group was from New York City and the ethnicity of the group was certainly Latin or Puerto Rican. The theme of the video may have featured some B-Boy & breakdancing/grafetti but I'm not entirely certain. It was a group of rappers and not just one soloist. I'm almost positive that the name of the song is simply "SMOOTH" but I don't know the name of the group or the name of the album or even if they did one.

    I've been looking for this song for YEARS and I' have NEVER been able to find it. I would say this video was shown maybe in 1988 or 1990...deffinitley around this time period. I would certainly consider this song to be ULTRA RARE...as I've never heard anyone playing it over the years....the last time I heard it would've been when I saw the video waaaaaaay back in the day.

    New Yorkers from this era may be able to help me with this song/video.

    Any help is appreciated

    the name of this group was Power Rule. The video of 'smooth' was posted a while back on youtube but seems like it was taken down. This group also had another video that was always played on BET rapcity called 'the way it is'

    tonynokkturno....YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!

    Thanks so much for identifying this song for me.

    Power Rule. I went on line and searched google & didn't really find anything. Started to get discouraged then I simply went to Amazon and put in Power Rule....again nothing came up. But I noticed in Amazon it said "Did you mean Powerule". Basically the official title of the group is ONE WORD. When I searched that WAY I got a hit!!!!!! Powerule must've released a compilation of some sort called " Powerule Volume 1" When I looked thru the tracks I saw "Smooth" I also saw the track "That's the way it is". I ordered the CD for $12.00. It's used but it says it's in "very good condition". I OWE YOU ONE!!
