This was one of the first hip-hop tracks I ever heard. What a track it was. It's catchy; it's worthy of being called one of the best singles ever. It's a get money everyday song for any royalties it's getting."It Takes Two" is a song by New York City hip hop duo Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock that became a top-40 single and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Since it was released in 1988 by Profile Records, the song has been covered and sampled by several recording artists."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," noted music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine of All Music Guide. "It's hard to disagree with them." Spin magazine published "100 Greatest Singles of All Time" in 1989 and ranked "It Takes Two" at number one.[3] In 2021, it was listed at number 116 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time."
