Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on May 18, 1967)

Happy Birthday to Rob Base, the man who taught us "It Takes Two"—and decades later, we're still convinced! Ever since you and DJ E-Z Rock rocked Harlem (and our stereos) in '88 with that platinum classic built on pure lyrical genius and beats we can't resist sampling ourselves at every throwback party.

Your timeless vibe continues bringing joy. From old-school heads still spinning your tracks at BBQ cookouts to new audiences dancing along thanks to modern DJs remixing those unbeatable samples you made famous—you've proven again: it truly takes two seconds of a beat drop for everyone immediately losing control!
