Yo! Third Anniversary Part 3 - West Coast Love
» Published by house
Fab 5 Freddy is everything that is New York Hip Hop. But, being the consummate historian that he is for the culture, he realized that New York wasn’t the only coast rocking the game. In the early 90’s the west coast started on the map. Tone Loc with “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina”, MC Hammer with all his hits and the black Beatles, N.W.A, all helped bring a new vibe to Hip Hop. Here is Fab’s homage to the west on his 3rd anniversary. And, in case you haven’t seen it before, the first clip with Hammer, is the famous J Lo appearance before she had blown up yet.

I always felt that N.W.A. were the black Ramones, and Run-DMC were the black Beatles.Dope video.Funny that Ice Cube didn’t diss N.W.A. at the end of the video.I guess this was before “100 Miles and Runnin.”
