Gotta love this era of YouTube when old Rap videos I've only ever seen in shitty pixelated rips previously are now being uploaded in grown & gorgeous pristine quality. Here's two favourites by two rappers who are no longer Young. Peep how exquisite the blues look in the Give and Take video, darlings - deepest, bluest like the Indian Ocean archipelago.
Related: someone needs to steal the print of Steve Buscemi & Vincent Gallo's first movie The Way It Is that's housed in NYU and finally release that shit to the public by uploading it to YouTube. You know who else is in that movie? Rockets Redglare AKA the bloke who probably #actually killed Nancy Spungen. Sid Vicious woz innocent and you can't tell me nuffink to the contrary!

Bless the YouTube gods for quality rips.
Found out not too long ago that Anderson from Ferris Bueller's Day Off was the same guy who got off with the bird at the cinema in Young MC's Bust A Move video.
Damn. 6 degrees of Alan Ruck.
Added an example of a movie I'd like to see uploaded to the 'Tube.
While I equally love colorful larger-than-life rap, I sometimes do miss more grounded or innocent rap by actual young people (see also LONS "Case Of That PTA" and Twista's "Back 2 School"). Principal's Office seems to fit that same mould.
Never forget Based Students by Ricefield & Seiji + their m8. Not particularly wholesome tho 😄
Looks like that Kurious album executive produced by DOOM is finally coming out next month.
Really? Those snippets from it all sounded very good.
