D&D Allstars: "1,2 Pass It"

Why the hell would I ever post a hip hop video from the 90s on this blog? Well, partly because I just feel like it, but also because I really love old school rap. I've actually always felt that real hip hop is awesome as the chill alternative to hardcore (which undoubtedly will always be this blog's first love and main focus). It has a street mentality and it is undoubtedly an outspoken, in your face form of music. Enough said.

But anyways, "1,2 Pass it"  is a dreamteam collaboration and a true hip hop classic with a bunch of legendary rappers in one video (personal fav's are: Jeru the Damaga, KRS and Fat Joe, but the rest also nail it!). Don't you know what this style is about? It's all about keeping it fresh in the city jungle and stepping up your game amidst the urban chaos. These guys show how it's done. So take their lead, wise up and do your thing!

Freddy Madball's Hip Hop Career

The saga continues... Freddy Madball seems to be going further with his career as a rapper, picking up where his 2009 1st solo hip hop album, Catholic Guilt left off. Is "thug" hip hop the future of the NYHC we used to know?

ILL BILL - 'My Uncle Shoots Heroin' Video

You may know Ill Bill as more of a 'gansgsta' type personality, because of his connections with infamous rap cliques and whatever. However, I think we could take this following song as a bit of a cold-reality, anti-drugs song, which definitely hits the nail on the head. Moreover, the video animation is truly great,  made by the aniBOOM guys who are the new innovators of hip hop (*and more) videos!!! 

Does the story sound familiar to you? All I can surely agree on is that the reality of addiction ain't no fun and it's there in most families. Thanks for watching the vid and enjoy good hip hop music!
