A Tribe Called Quest - Youthful Expression (LIVE)

One thing that Tribe does best is take a mellow song and turn it into a live performance with mad energy. Another example here.

Youthful Expression always seemed to be one of those chill-out tracks. It’s definitely got a different vibe in this clip.

Phife assuming back up dancer duties on this one.

RazorBlayd- “Razor’s Gruv” (Blast/Justin Entertainment) 1991

There’s only a few things I know about this record:

A)- The shit is SLAMMING.

B)-RazorBlayd was born in Detroit and later moved to Windsor where he honed his skills and eventually moved to Toronto in 1990.

C) He apparently performed one of the tracks off of his album on Electric Circus (*see the explanation of the Toronto phenomena known as EC here)

Time and time again, Busta impresses me with his beatbox ability, the guy can hold it down.

This is a lil promo that Leaders Of The New School did for Slammin Rap Video Magazine.

What made all of LONS’s music videos looks so good? The answer is “film”. I love the fact that they would put in the extra $$$ to shoot there videos on film, it made the difference.
