Try Not to post fan made footage but official real Old School Hip Hop footage. The only exception for fan made footage is for Live Audio performances.Do not post any songs unless the video is an official video and not fan made. Please do not post footage of artist performing their classic hits ( Example, No 2008 footage of Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick performing 1985's "the Show")

And remember, the theme is BEFORE RAKIM meaning 1970's - 1985

Gonna Do About It, it, it it it it it(echo)"


Never saw that UncleRalph FreshFest footages
Good Shit
Nor that Donahue with UTFO, who kept that shit 1st generation style;
Whodini may have been the 1st rap group to have and consistantly used dancers in their shows
even up to BeYourself, which fucked me up seeing live;
& Ice was nice into the 90s still

LOL @ that CrashCrew who looked like grown assed men
That WAS the Video
Remember seeing them kats @ the Rink
(where it looks like that shit was taped @)

Wish I could find my KurtisBlow Live @ the Apollo with DJ AJ & throw it up here;
that was going to be a trivia question too
as the first live aired rap concert on a radio station to my knowledge.

Can't find that That's Incredible with either
the Dynamic or the NYC breakers but

Here's
The contest @ the Roxy

PEACE To the 7s

Forward to 3:40 or so since its the show in its original form
Can't find the entire version where it breaks down from the beginning like how we used to hear it but have this
[FLASH]http://www.youtube.com/v/3kyqu60bRQo[/FLASH]
The sound and feel alone brings it back.
Any deeper for me would be DJ Hollywood joints.
