Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek Louch did some rapping in honor of DJ Doo Wop‘s 20th year in the game at Stage 48 in NYC 5/7/13.
This is a quick compilation of footage from The Doppelgangaz recent European tour. Look out for a video to “Barbiturates” next week.
Some poor sap makes the mistake of heckling Grandmaster Caz and yelling out “I’ll give you a dime if you get off the stage!” The result? A verbal ass-whuppin.
The clear highlight of the reunion show was this timeless interaction between Bobbito Garcia and Rickey Powell during a 1993 episode of The Stretch Armstrong Show. I couldn’t resist but upload it to YouTube for prosperity posterity.
AZ & DJ DOO WOP – Doe or Die II Tour… by 238BEATS
Almost 40 minutes of footage of AZ The Visualiza and DJ Doo Wop tearing-up the stage in Katowice, Poland, as part of the Doe Or Die 2 promotional tour.
I made the mistake of seeing the Ultramagnetic MC’s 25 years too late. This is what happened as a result.
No Country For Old (Rap) Men: Worst. Show. Ever.
Another classic Joe Fatal sighting as he goes to work on an blow-up doll. Apparently this was from an event called “Rappers For Voter’s Registration” in Harlem…
Spotted at ego trip.
Amazing footage of Ladies Love Cool James rocking a school gym. “Mommy, what’s a super sperm?”
Youtube user Kodiak Starr writes: “LL Cool J at age 17 and DJ Cut Creator perform live. 1985, Colby College, Waterville Maine. 5 months before Radio was released. My dad tried to get RUN DMC, but could not afford them, so Def Jam told him he should bring up LL Cool J”.
You can also catch a painful rendition of “Memories” at the 19 minute mark.
“There’s been an out-break of bad cocaine. If anybody in the house got any cocaine, bring it up. We got a lab downtown”. This sounded like an old party tape until they started rapping over Black Rob’s “Woah” beat. Still great. Another sure-shot from Troy L Smith’s YouTube account.
Proof that more rapper need to wear suits with gold chains. Kool Keith, Ced Gee, TR Love and DJ Moe Love rip shit at Dingwalls Camden Lock, London back in April, 1990. Great work Timmy!
If you’re in NY on Jan 20 you need to go to this show, which is basically the same line-up that a Conservative Rap Coalition concert would be. Tickets are under $20 if you cop them from here.
Celebrate and respeckanize the legacy of where Polo Ralph Lauren has taken their style from. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this brand hasn’t used the urban market’s influence to remain relevant (and rich).
Uncle Ralph McDaniels did pioneering work by being the first music program to cover a major hip-hop concert for his Video Music Box show in 1985. Here’s an edited version of what went down, including a press conference freestyle session from Whodini and Run-DMC, a typically modest Mister Magic talking about ho he broke every act there, some anti-graff commercials, the Furious Five‘s pre-show warm-up routine and a whole bunch of rapping from Whodini, Run-DMC, and the Fat Boys.

Mom let me out of the basement to see some rappers. Read all about it.
No Country For Old (Rap) Men: Sean Price and Brother Ali Live Review
Although this looks like it was filmed on Dick Tracey‘s bionic wristwatch, this is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. The debut performance of the ‘Juice Crew All-Stars World Tour 1988′ at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, backed by five DJ’s at once – DJ Chilly Q, DJ Polo, Mr. Cee, Cool V and Marley Marl – and featuring members of the Juice Crew (even MC Glamorous) dropping rhymes. I’m assuming that Kane’s live version of “Wrath of Kane” was from this show, but it’s not included here. I would give my right arm to have a complete, high quality version of this incredible piece of rap history…

Introducing a new Unkut video series – DJ Sheep‘s VHS Vault, Episode 1:
MCA, King Ad-Rock, Mike D and DJ Hurricane make an unruly appearance on Japanese TV during their glory years at Def Jam. Thanks to the wonders of live broadcasting, we get to witness a cameo appearance from Ricky Powell (aka The Rickster) involving a bed, a chick in a tight dress and an ice cream. So many classic scenes and bonus lines including ‘Fondle my balls with your fingers’ and ‘With your oriental pussy you can suck my dick’
Easily the finest moment in their long career…
