[YouTube] ITT, we post YouTube clips to old school rap clips.

Everyone thank yankee

 

This one goes out to Mariah! Peace!!!

Rump Shaker

Additionally, I'd like to send a shout-out to C.O.D. and the whole ST posse:

**** Tha Police

 

OK, if we're going to list pop-friendly/cross-over rap, then let's at least list somehting good!

Grandmaster Flash "White Lines"

 

Zooma zoom in your boom boom!

Kurtis Blow: The Breaks No old performances, unfortunately, but here's another song. I'm LOLing at the audience in this one.

Public Enemy, Burn Hollywood Burn (ftg Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane)
Vanilla rocks it out again.

Edit: White Lines rules. But don't forget Melle Mel on that track too And look at Morpheus in that film clip

 

LL Cool J's debut, scene from "Krush Groove"

LL COOL J (first film performance ever)

 

Step into a World

Electric Relaxation

Let me clear my throat

Passin me by

Runnin

 

lol...late 80s doesn't seem like it should be called "old school", but I guess I'm old now.


Digital Underground ftw

DooWutchyalike

The Humpty Dance For shame this hasn't been linked yet.

Same Song*

* I love this song, and it saddens we it's associated with this travesity of a movie...this video clip was all I could find, and it's from the movie, so it's all chopped up, so you don't get Tupac's debut.

 

Nothing but Trouble was on the other day. The part with Digital Underground is the only good part.

 

Eric B and Rakim - Don't Sweat The Technique

Ultramagnetic Mc's - Traveling at The Speed of Thought

Mantronix - Simple Simon

Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew - The Show (Soul Train)

 

It could very easily be one of the worst movies of all time...it pains me to even think about it.


Other older rap songs I like, regardless of their school of origin:

Ice Cube - Wicked

Sir Mix-A-Lot - My Hooptie

Sir Mix-A-Lot - My Posse's On Broadway

Young MC - Bust A Move

Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock - It Takes Two

Kool Moe Dee - Wild Wild West

 

Nice & Smooth - Sometimes I Rhyme Slow

Black Sheep - The Choice Is Yours

Onyx - Slam

Gangstarr- Mass Appeal

Cypress Hill - Hand On The Pump

lollers
Fu-Schnickens_can we rock / what's up doc + Shaquille O'Neil

 

It could very easily be one of the worst movies of all time...it pains me to even think about it.

I thought Beat Street and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo had that title by themselves.

Erik B And Rakim Paid In Full.

 

No Sugarhill Gang yet? Rapper's Delight.

And one of the songs that paved the road by the man that paved the road: The Payback

 

That Sugarhill Gang clip as awesome, thanks Gabe.

Here's some fun; Chubby Checker & the Fat Boys: The Twist

 

Oh **** yes!

 

Looks like all the old Viacom videos have been pulled, so ignore the stupid clip on this one and just enjoy the music.

PM Dawn - set adrift on Memory Bliss

Just found out that Herbie Hancock is coming to NZ for a concert next month. Hopefully I can get tickets.

 

Played everyday on KUBE 93's Old School lunch.

 

I was really looking for Eye Know, but De La Soul's "Stakes is High" will suffice.

 

I really like De La Soul's Me, myself, and I.

 

Grace Jones: Slave to the Rhythm and Pull Up to the Bumper (live 2004, couldn't find the original video).

 

Bring on the Irish!

House of Pain - Jump Around.
