Check out some other old Graff/Hip Hop stuff from the original kings of N.Y.C Graff Videos: Video Graf
DJ Fingers of the Sindecut was talking the other day about how in the UK it was impossible to see Hip Hop videos in the old days. In the early 90's in New York they had "old school videos" on Video Music Box, and how for me it was always like "they made a video for that?!!!" So here are a few you might have missed too.
Marley Marl ft. Juice Crew - The Symphony II (Master Ace, Craig G, Big Daddy Kane, Little Daddy Shane, Kool G. Rap, ) (The 12" mix is much better and Little Daddy Shane (B.D. Kane's little Brother) should have NOT been on this. Supposedly Kool G. Rap rapped until the tape ran out, the original version was about 15 mins long, although it could have been the Symphony 1...)
The D.O.C. - The Formula (Official Video) (Texan rapper D.O.C. over cheesy Dre keyboardzzz. The intro is hilarious, "Go Malik, Go Malik Go!!!" Obvious dis against MC Hammer, there were alot of MCs dissing him in videos back then, 3rd Bass, Run DMC, De La Soul etc.)
Joe Ski Love - Peewee's Dance (Ahhhh songs about dance crazes!!! Ice-t doing the Peewee at 2:42)
Boogie Boys - You Ain't Fresh (Kid Delight R.I.P.)
Lakim Shabazz - Need Some Lovin' (New Jersey 5%er Lak drops knowledge on positive track from his 2nd album)
Breeze - LA Posse (Another LA emigre was hot in the L.A. scene in the N.W.A saturated late 90's)
Marcy Projects representer Jaz-O is holding his own against the multi-billion dollar steam roller that is modern Rap industry. Some might say that youtube disses and expose videos are cheap fame moves, and we tend to agree but when you are up against a giant, sometimes you have to do David steps...
Brooklyn's The Jaz is known to many as "the Mentor of Jay-Z", but there is much more to him than that, he came to the publics attention in the late 80's as a concious rapper in a period when the scene was dominated by Queens borough MCs. So whether he was talking about Police brutality in "Its Your Nature"; or in the Originators video wearing the crown and regalia of Dr. Malachi Z. York-El'sNuwaubian Nation of Moors organization, you know he was on some serious knowledge.
Jaz-O - The Originators Feat. Jay-Z
"Are you men living in God realities or Gods with man mentalities?" Jaz-O Love Has Gone
Texas born DJ Premier who has made Brooklyn his home, has done production for many Brooklyn old Schoolers Just-Ice, Big Daddy Kane (pictured), and in 2002 produced Jaz-O and the Immobilaire underground banger Love Is Gone. Since the not so subtle Love is Gone record about Jay-Z, where Jaz-O laments the break up of their longtime friendship, there have been many back and forths between Jaz-O and Jay-Z that you may have heard. Jaz-O going at the whole of Rocafella when they were at their most Tonka on Nore's "Nothin'", Jay-Z and Rocafella all at him in return. Jay-Z mentions the fact that Jaz-O was 40 years old at that time but that would come back to haunt him when he fell out with Camron and Dipset though...
Jaz-O explains his side of the story
It seemed to have ended a while back with this freestyle , but recently with the Dame Dash & Jaz-O "Happy Birthday" video, Jay-Z has dissed him again on Ludacris's recent song I Do It For Hip Hop co-starring Nas and JAY-Z. And so on and so on and so on....
