#9- Ed and Dre in Guantanamo Bay- This was back in 1991. My how things have changed…
#8- Fab 5 Runs With The Bulls- Fab really did go international
#7- Grammy Hate- Who would expect rappers to boycott anything nowadays? I sure don’t.
#6- Dennis Leary on “Who’s The Man?”- Such a classic hip-hop movie
#5- Tupac Remembered- Ted Demme and Tupac in one clip, two legends who left us before their time.
#4- Wu-Tang Clan On Set- How dope was the video for “Da Mystery Of Chess Boxin?”
#3- Busta’s Big Breakup- The end of Leaders of the New School right on set
#2- Ed Lover’s (second ever) dance- The dance that made Ed famous
And #1 is… DING! DING! DING!!!!
Run DMC Gets Live! On Yo!- Rest in peace JMJ

I love the episodes of YO MTV Raps that have been running!! This reminds me of the grassroots that made hip hop so great. Speaking of getting hip hop back to the basics… Does anyone know about this new unveiling going on over at The Source Magazine? I know they are celebrating 20 years in business and they are under totally different management.

Shout outs to Substantial on the new video.

“It’s You (I Think)” is another solid performance from Substantial!!!! Video is nostalgic, reminds me of a time when hip-hop was more reflective of the everyday people and that is much needed.

“It’s You (I Think)” from Substantial is a hot video. Matt Hobbs is a talented young director. Please, keep this video on the Sucker Free rotation! WE WANT MORE!!!

“I ?@*$ on random stars like bums on Hollywood Blvd”
Growing up all I has was SHIT
So I scrambled the letters around and made HITS
This is my passion
If Your a product of recycled garbage
Then it’s only right you sold plastic
You dumb bastard
I mastered a flow
That incorporates laughter
Running you out of business
Like lime-wire did to Napster
Giving you the Business
Like Russel did to Jay after Run became a Paster
So Trademark L.L.C. my 16’s
It’s a sick seen
When I spit mean
With a spik lean
I mean
I rain to keep the beats hydrated
I made it
Wile being underestimated
Like a lied on my w9
I re-define
Self promotional mastermind
With h.t.m.l. designs
See sex sells and that fine
If you a female dime
But I’m just a average guy
Who dress fly
Write rhymes
And use emails to chart clime
So call me a computer thug
Dogs -Its all love
But I’m ganna revolutionizes
Hip hop for this modern day and time
No question
I’m destine to step in
With no weapon and kill the competition
Like two drug spots on the same block
And that’s bad for business
Like playing Russian rullet
With a loaded brisket so why risk it
Don’t get it twisted-

my favorite yo mtv was back wit big daddy kane when he had tha high top fade nas when he was there with mobb deep and rae, krs performing live bring yo back. many kids don’t understand tha true artist of there are from the old school and are in tha thirtys nas was born in 1973 jay z 1969 50 cent 1975 kanye 1977 rakim1968 in his fortys. now these dumb labels think you have to be young they know nothing about hip hop thats why young rappers suck respect to tha old school and underground emcess who said u have to be a certain age dumb ass labels and young people who listen to rap . hip hop is a culture with respect and skills no age limit so recognize a young cat doesn’t even know who herc is. thats why i love yo mtv bring back tha real artist. mtv sucks now mainstream radio sucks play tha same o ##@# labels sign tha same %$$#?@#@ artist to make money . we don’t need big labels anymore with power of internet we open our own label ?%?$ ya support underground hip hop emcees
