Favorite old school Hip Hop Videos

tickledpink · #1 05-03-2001, 01:58 PM

I was looking at MTV last night and they were showing some of the videos that really had an influence on hip hop videos today. It was hosted by Fabulous Five Freddy & had a rotating panel of rappers that voted on their favorites, like Ice-T, MC Lyte, Mary J, Wyclef Jean, Snoop Doggy Dog, and MC Hammer.

What are some of your favorite old school hip hop videos? I'll start the ball rolling:

1) Fugee-La (Ooh La La La)/ Fugees

2) Cant' Touch This (remember Hammer pants?)/ Mc Hammer

3)You're All I Need/ Method Man & Mary J (remember Method Man coming up out of the sewer?)

This should be a fun topic. No list would be complete without mentioning Salt 'N Peppa. They were my girls back in the day. I remember "Tramp", but was there a video for "Push It"?

Of course, we cannot forget the King of Pop (Bad, Thriller, Smooth Criminal) and his sister (What have you done for me lately?, there was another one done in a factory and I cannot remember the song!).

AKAtude, I was thinking the same thing as soon as I read the topic, Salt N Pepa came to mind, "Tramp" and "Push It" were my jams. I still spin "Hot, Cool & Viscious".

* "Mr. Big Stuff, Heavy D & The Boyz
* "Eric B is President", Eric B & Rakim
* "Ladies First", Queen Laftifah & Monie Love
* "Summer Time" Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

I have to think of some more.

The video from LL Cool J where he is hopping around and doing the whop. I think it was for "Can't live with out my radio"

MC Hammer had a girl group called Oaktown 257 or something. I loved their videos.
