Since Wiscompton dropped the hint here, Eye figured I'd get this started off right.... ....if we're going to do a Golden Age video thread, then it's only right we start it with the show that truly is ground zero for Golden Age Hip-Hop videos.... ...the legendary pioneering TV show called VIDEO MUSIC BOX....

QuoteGMMMary Jane Girls - All night long X Nice & Smooth - More and more hits With the MJ Girls classic, gotta put a few other pairings ahead of the Nice & Smooth one..... ...for me, it would be Big Daddy Kane's Smooth Operator but, Eye would also put LL's Around The Way Girl and Redman's Tonight's Da Night ahead of that as well.by EyeGetzRaw - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
JayB...Good call on Teddy and Ahmad....he was kind of one hit wonder but there's no denying the impact of that song. The Brand Nubes link Eye can see but the original is dead....gonna assume it was Edie Brickell tho...nice pairing but Eye would think a stronger pairing involving the Nubians would be Roy Ayers - Everybody Loves The Sunshine x Wake Up Feelin you P, on the Barry White x Blacby EyeGetzRaw - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Thought about this on the drive in this morning... ...what are some of the greatest samplee/sampler combos?....in other words pairings where both songs represent the highest standards of the respective artists' catalogue or the impact of both songs were overwhelmingly significant. In this particular instance, Eye was thinking of James Brown as the starting point...but really, the concby EyeGetzRaw - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

Michael Holman - was kind of a square (IMO)...but hey - I have to admit that he put his (tiny) stamp on the game, with that short-lived, one episode TV show.

My quick 2 cents... As for personal contributions....life spanks my a$$ on the regular, time is not easy to come by....usually, when Eye do have it, I'll drop what Eye can. Honestly, there are times when Eye wanna drop more but, not in a position 2 do so and later it drops off the radar..... ...which brings me to the next thing....Eye can't speak for the rest of the vets but, someby EyeGetzRaw - General Discussion

The group dynamic (vocally speaking) - Eye miss 3, 4, 5 cats with complex vocal routines, harmonizing, trading off lines, etc.... Beasties, LONS, J5 and very few others tried to keep it alive but, that was an art form within the art of emceeing. Clans, crews, cliques, posses and the like did nothing to build on that technique...by then, there was too much emphasis on the solo emcee. The "by EyeGetzRaw - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
