Great moments in Rap videos

[Philaflava]

Try this again. After some serious beefing, Cube and Dre put aside their differences and O'Shea makes a guest appearance in the Let Me Ride video that caught most of us by surprise. The song actually takes shots at Lynch Mob too.



add on.

For best moments in videos, it's the funny moments and comedy of the late 80's that comes to mind first because I began watching videos around age 7.



Hawaiian Sophie is packed with moments, Jay-Z being lowered on to the set by a rope was memorable even back then when he wasn't famous. A pineapple on top of a record being cut on the turntable and the comedic fight scene between Jaz and the boyfriend character are pretty damn funny too.

The staged background and low-budget set feel during the 3rd verse of Parents Just Don't Understand where Will Smith steals his parents car. Shit blew my mind as a kid..

Guru bustin out dance moves and Primo cutting on the turntable in the background looking mad young in the video for Positivity.

Fat Joe Da Gangsta dancing at the bar in synchronization with others toward the end of Strictly For The Ladies video? Straight foolishness.

The camera cutting back & forth between The God Rakim and shots of Flavor Flav's dancing like a fuckin idiot in the video for I Ain't No Joke

Biggie parody by Originoo Gun Clappaz in the video for Da Storm which Starang eventually got beat down for.


Looking at kids growing up too fast is interesting to reflect on now that I'm an adult:

Chi Ali kickin it to 13 year old girls thinkin he's the man in Age Ain't Nothin But A Number
Mobb Deep's antics in the Hit It From The Back video
Illegal's tuff guy image in Head Or Gut


These images of fine women in videos always caught my eye as a young teen, years before the trend of video chicks blew outta control toward the late 90's into what we now have today:

That one girl dancing in the background toward the end of Rump Shaker
Females in the video for Similak Child
Nice & Smooth's Hip Hop Junkies


Video images that stand out to me just because they were good:

The jail intro scene of Black Steel In The Hour of Chaos as Chuck recites the first verse
The fusion of ice factory industrialism and Hip Hop in EPMD's You Gots Ta Chill
The mafioso imagery of Follow The Leader
Redman bum-rushing the camera man in the promo video for Hardcore
The Predator imagery from Da Lench Mob's Guerillas In The Midst
RZA's kung-fu fight scenes in Tragedy
Jeru The Damaja & Afu-Ra's kung-fu fight scenes in Ya Playin Ya Self
Kool Keith looking like an escaped metal patient in Poppa Large
