Isn't it off a Mom's Mabley record?

Also, off the wall if your playing the wall in it's context is not calling the outfielders in. (n)

In my opinion that does not sound like Redd Foxx and doesn't sound like Richard Pryor (as some folks think)...but the link that Wints put up looks official.

Someone needs to buy that Redd Foxx cd and put this thing to rest. :)


I think the off the wall if you're playin the wall is a baseball reference. I don't think it's standing up at a dance. And Beastiemania used to have a Pink Floyd/Michael Jackson explanation for the playin the wall reference. I'm the one that suggested the baseball reference to Beastiemania over the Pink Floyd/Michael Jackson.

I've heard broadcasters use those exact words when describing an outfielders play. But hey...I could be completely wrong. :confused:

hehe, yeah, sorry 'bout that.

Yeah, Laver, I agree that it doesn't sound much like Redd Foxx, but you know me, I'm a searcher. Many sources say it's Foxx, and until someone puts up a Google link, or otherwise proves me wrong (playing the CD, for example) I'm sticking to that theory.

Well I just bought the damn thing. So I'll report back after I get it. I did always like to watch Sanford and Son. :)

First of all get off the wall, it's time to party so have a ball.

I want you off the wall if you're playing the wall...



So we're at a club and three m.c's are working the crowd. I'm leaning on a wall. What am I likely to do: bust a move, or set up a diamond with coasters and start a game of baseball?

Taco Zip, if you're around, did you ever get that Robin Harris cd you posted about buying? I'm assuming you didn't, since you were still on the hunt for the solution to the mystery when I posted about Redd Foxx last summer/fall.


Nope, I did not want to spend my money on a cd just to hear (or not hear) the sample.
I'm still curious though.

BTW, Mashed potato topics are my favorite ones. Therefore I rated this topic Excellent (*****) :D (y)

I know... that idea has been quashed before too. :( There have been multiple threads about this, and I have a feeling it doesn't actually appear on any recording that's not out of print - otherwise someone would've found it by now.

Nope,my memory fails me or at least I remembered it how I wanted it to be...but according to the liner notes,somewhere in "Flute Loop" there is an element or a sample within a sample from Richard Pryor's "After Hours"...which kinda confuses me..."music to rock the nation..." maybe....I don't know...peace!

I've never heard "i want you off the wall if you're playin the wall" used outside of a baseball context. But whatever...i'm not here to argue. I always thought it was short for playing the ball off the wall. :)

That reference always makes me smile. When I was a kid, I used to go to Twins games all the time with my dad, and he was our best player. I used to hang out behind the dugout and get autographs and his was my biggest.

He's also mentioned in the Adam Sandler song because "he converted."

Its just crazy how people always try to act like they know when they really have no clue. It might sound like Richard Pryor, or Red Fox, but until you have a record or movie or whatever in your hands and you confirm the sample then you don't know where its comming from. Don't front. Haha.

IMO, it sounds nothing like Robin Harris. I have gotten some short snippets of his one and only comedy cd "BeBe's Kids" and I am not hearing the similarities at all.

I think it sounds more like Richard Pryor than anyone else, but that is my own opinion.

I think I have the answer and it makes sense....Rudy Ray moore AKA Dolemite

My youngest cousin (well, he's 38, but he's still the baby) is the father of 4, is about 6'5", and has a pretty pronounced laugh. When we're waiting at the Christmas or Thanksgiving family buffets, one of my favorite tricks is to come up behind him and whisper "If I'd known this was going to be that kind of party..." Which makes him laugh loudly and turn red. Naturally, the "grown-ups" our mothers, grandparents, try to get him to tell what was so funny. And he can't tell them and supply the rest of the Rudy Ray Moore line "...I'd've stuck my dick in the mashed potatoes."*

I found this on a message board. COnsidering the Beastie useage of Dolemite it makes perfect sense.

Here is the answer I got back from Mark Jason Murray:




I don't know where the sample is coming from but I can tell you this. It is not Rudy Ray Moore (nor is it Redd Foxx, Jimmy Lynch, Pryor). I thought it might be off of an album Rudy produced for Gregory Tutt "Jody The Grinder"



http://www.shockingimages.com/dolemite/index.php?goto=albums/tutt



but after putting that record on to check out his track "The Freak Party" which seemed to be it at first glance, it wasn't and it isn't his voice either. Hopefully that has at least helped to narrow it down. If for some reason I come across that clip in one of my other comedy records in my collection at some point, I will let you know.

at the end of funky boss it is i believe adrock with the basic scratching in and release of the record with the "waaaaaaah....wahhhhh" that is in fact richard pryor, i have the record it's called "bicentennial nigger". richard pryor is the greatest. yeah the part beginning flute loop is also pryor "well mooove meee" or something like that, and in something's got to give i believe that is also pryor that says "why fight yourself ?"

as far as the "mashed potatoes" sample i thought it was pryor for a long time, then i thought it was redd foxx. i still kinda think it's red foxx but i don't really know for sure.

"get ya off the wall if you're playin the wall" why do you guys think this is a reference to baseball or anything else ? it's just saying get off the wall wallflower and get down, there's no hidden meaning or anything like that....

It may kinda whack to quote yourself but on another thread I recently said..."Reminds me of a convo that went back and forth around here about the origin of the phrase "off the wall"...I sat back and watched this exchange knowing one of the party's was right,in that it refers to being involved,taking a side and or a stand...while 1 of the parties insisted it was a baseball reference....which I almost sympathized with as my 9th grade basket ball coach used to scream at slackers "get off the wall or get on the bench!"....but indeed it means get involved,get into it....."

"Now all of y'all,get off the wall,have a ball and get involved...." Body Movin (y)

Jeez...i'm not insisting. In my opinion the lyric in So Watcha Want (Not Body Movin) is "I want you off the wall, if you're playin' the wall" is a baseball reference.

It's my opinion and others disagree...end of subject. :rolleyes:

I am much more interested in the mashed potato sample anyway. :)

I found this link. But it only references Richard Pryor's sample in Funky Boss.

Thats a different thing all together.It's a b-boy saying from back in the day.I've explained this many a time.If anyone wants to think they're talking about baseball or this other game,so be it.

Isn't it off a Mom's Mabley record?


I don't believe anyone ever looked into this possiblility...but someone just mentioned it in another thread.

Rich: Where did you hear that this could be where the sample comes from?
