Reminiscin'... YO! MTV Raps

The other day a friend FB'd me a link to a YouTube-clip with Mary J Blige and Grand Puba performing "What's the 411?" live in the YO! MTV Raps studio. The tune is dope, and the performance is awesome... This made me reminisce how I used to watch YO! MTV Raps 1991-1994 to catch up with the latest jams from the states, crackin' up and laughing to the stupid jokes of hosts Dr Dre and Ed Lover, and watching Fab 5 Freddy's (what I at the time thought were quite silly) interviews with the main hip hop artists of those years. Hip hop was hardly played in Swedish radio and it was really difficult to find hip hop albums in the record stores. To get the freshest rap tunes I used to record the YO! MTV Raps shows on VHS, so I then could connect the TV to my HiFi and record the tracks I liked to cassettes and put together hip hop mixtapes. So, let me take you back in time and share some great LIVE moments from this brilliant TV show...

Skills

We're still mourning the death of Guru, so here's The Cosimist's hommage to this hip hop legend:

I used to listen a lot to Gang Starr during the nineties, and when I listen to them again now it's unreal how fresh this stuff still sounds, some of it almost 20 years old. Don't know if it's Dj Premier's hard, contemplative beats or Guru's monotonic, hoarse drone that does it. Anyway, check out these superb Gang Starr/Dj Premier/Guru songs. This is seminal shit!!

Gang Starr - Name tag
Gang Starr - A long way to go
Gang Starr - Mass appeal
Gang Starr feat. K-Ci & Jo-Jo - Royalty
Gang Starr, M.O.P. - BI vs. friendship
Gang Starr - Execution of a chump
Gang Starr - Tonz 'o' gunz
Gang Starr - Take a rest
Gang Starr - No shame in my game
Dream Warriors - I've lost my ignorance
Guru's Jazzmatazz, Donald Byrd - Loungin'
Guru's Jazzmatazz, Branford Marsalis, Chaka Khan - Watch what you say
Guru's Jazzmatazz, Ramsey Lewis, Brian Holt, Bahamadia - Respect the architect
Kreators feat. Guru, Akrobatik, Big Shug, Krumbsnatcha - Home
Big Shug - Counter Punch
Gang Starr - Nice girl, wrong place
Guru's Jazzmatazz, Bilal - Certified
Gang Starr - Skills
