Classic Video: Cam'Ron feat Ma$e - "Horse & Carriage" (1997)

"I'll get you that stuff that Gretsky skates on"

This is as close as you'll get to seeing Jim Jones with a clean shave and hair that won't break a comb.

CAMEO ALERT: Tyson Beckford, DJ Clue, Wyclef, Pras, Charli Baltimore, Fat Man Scoop, Canibus, Noreaga, Cormega, Chico DeBarge, Styles P, Funkmaster Flex

TIDBIT: Ma$e's didn't appear in this video as planned because he supposedly wanted to charge a large amount and this is what started the beef between him and Cam.

CLASSIC VIDEO: Erykah Badu - "On & On" (1997)

9

I was born under water
With three dollars & six dimes
Yeah, you may laugh
Cuz you did not do yo math

 

Video inspired by the Juke Joint scene from The Color Purple.  Most people don't even get how much 5% knowledge she spit on this song.  And I may be in the minority but I love Erykah's debut and live album but haven't really completely dug the rest of her catalog.

Early version of "On & On" performed in February 1996

TUPAC TUESDAY: Jon B Feat 2 Pac- "Are You Still Down?" (1997)

"I make you smile but you'd rather have what makes you cry"

13 years later this song is just as smooth as it was when it was released. Here we have Pac & Jon B (who is given a "light-skinned" hood pass since he has soul lol) ask an old flame stuck in a dead-end relationship if she's still down for them...and without hating lol. It's always frustrating when a female would rather stay with a dude who treats her bad instead of spreading her wings and flying away to someone who will treat her good.After all Jon said it best: Ain't no fun in loving if you're loving alone."

 

CLASSIC VIDEO: Canibus - Second Round K.O. (1997)

"And if you really want to show off, we can get it on
Live in front of the cameras on ya own sitcom
I'll let u kick a verse, **** it ill let u kick em all
I'll even wait for the studio audience to applaud
Now watch me rip the tat from your arm,
Kick you in the groin, stick you for your Vanguard Award
In front of your mom your 1st 2nd and 3rd born
Make your wife get on the horn and call Minister Farakahn"

I don't care what anybody say Canibus destroyed LL with this.
