Throwback Video Of The Week

Black Moon | Who's Got The Props | Enta da Stage | Nervous Records 1993.

Enta da Stage is the debut album of American East Coast hip hop group Black Moon, released on October 19, 1993 through Nervous Records. Despite being critically acclaimed and having two singles that charted on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Who Got da Props?" and "I Got Cha Opin"), the album sold poorly, and is often overlooked in favor of subsequent East Coast albums. Nonetheless, Enta da Stage preceded those releases and served as a precursor to the resurgence of the New York hip hop scene in the mid-1990s.

2PAC | Temptations | Me Against The World | Interscope 1995

"Temptations" is the name of a song by rapper Tupac Shakur. It was released as the third single of his third album Me Against the World. The song was produced by Easy Mo Bee. The song was moderately successful in the United States, peaking at number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. The music video featured cameos from fellow West Coast rappers, Ice-T, Coolio, B-Real, and Warren G, as well as Salt-N-Pepa, Treach, Bill Bellamy, and Jada Pinkett Smith. Tupac couldn't be in the video for the song because he was incarcerated. The song peaked at #13 on the U.S. Rap chart, #35 on the U.S. Hip Hop/R&B chart and #68 on the Billboard Hot 100. One of my favorite tracks by Pac.

Slick Rick | Children's Story | The Great Adventures of Slick Rick | Def Jam 1988

"Children's Story" is a single by London-born American hip hop artist Slick Rick, from his album The Great Adventures of Slick Rick. It is a tragic tale that can be interpreted as an implicit condemnation of violence and greed. The album is among the few to receive a perfect five mic score from Source magazine.

Pete Rock & CL Smooth | T.R.O.Y. | Mecca and the soul brother | Elektra 1992 |

"They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" is a song by Pete Rock and CL Smooth, inspired by the death of their close friend Troy Dixon (better known as "Trouble" T. Roy of Heavy D & the Boyz) in 1990. The song was the lead single off their debut album, Mecca and the Soul Brother, released in 1992, and later became a staple of classic early 90's hip hop. The song peaked at #58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. One of my FAVORITE songs.

Throwback Video Of The Week

Nas Nas Is Like I Am Columbia Records 1999

"Nas Is Like" is the first single from Nas' third album I Am.... The song is the sixth collaboration between Nas and producer DJ Premier. It was critically well received as it was a change from the more commercial and pop-oriented singles from It Was Written and The Firm. The song contains a combination of braggadocios and introspective lyrics over a choppy string sample. The song's beat samples Don Robertson's "Why". The main sample is still unknown. In April 2008 an unnamed mp3 was revealed by Dusty Kid from Strictly Breaks to be the original sample, and right after that it was wrongly identified as John Rydgren's "Cantata of New Life". The song also contains scratched samples from Nas' 1994 song "It Ain't Hard to Tell".
