Clear Blue Skies
Juggaknots
This track has one of the illest storylines, with the Juggaknots looking at racism and giving it a Hip-Hop perspective seldom heard. Very nice!

Q Tube! Diggin in the tubes for Hip-Hop tunes!

Heres a short list of some classic Hip-Hop songs and assorted funkeness, all found while surfing YouTube. I have been hitting up my EgoTrip Book Of Rap List book pretty hard lately, so sorry if the inspirations sounds like I'm biting!
=====================================
The Original Version::
Shogun Assassin



The New & Improved Lick::
GZA
Shadowboxin/4th Chamber
Bonus points for the two fer one blessing on the video. The ill production of 4th Chamber is fitted perfectly with the Shogun sound clip!

=====================================
Old School Beef
Kool Moe Dee vs LL Cool J
One of the last of the great rap battles, this one seemed to go on forever. Dee was funny with it on his album cover, with the the jeep riding over the red Kangol. The battle never seemed to get to out of hand, but the songs were pretty tight!

Kool Moe Dee
How You Like Me Know


L.L. Cool J
Jack The Ripper


Let's Go
Kool Moe Dee
Moe Dee tries to come back from Jack The Ripper. You be the judge.



L.L. Cool J
To The Break Of Dawn
LL took it too a few folks on this one, as he hemmed up Ice-T and Kool Moe Dee at the same time. Daayyum! Got the nerve to have those Star Trek shades on.


Kool Moe Dee
Death Blow
Dee made a video for this one? Damn, I slept on it! That shit is too funny, with the fake Cool J in the boxing ring! Ya swallowed it? yeah..you finished? BURP!" Classic hip hip ish!

=====================================

Prime Minister Pete Nice & Daddy Rich
Rat Bastard
Wow, how ill is this track? Pete Nice, the first white rapper, releases some steam, sometime after the mighty 3rd Bass broke up. These dude were packing alot of guns back then, and f'in shit up all over New York in this Brett Ratner directed classic!
