Merry Go Round DJ Herc: mixing different instrumentals of songs. Reminded me of soundcloud artists that remix two or more songs into one song. Cool to see this idea originated in the birth of hip hop
The Message Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five: The video was interesting because it is exactly what I would imagine the typical setting of an 80s hip hop video. There were a lot of short jump cuts and different simplistic transition effects. Also the guys walk around the city with a boom box on his shoulder
Ice T 6 in the Morning: Feels a lot like Boyz-n-the-Hood by Easy-E. Similar beat and flow. He talks about escaping from the cops. Still run the streets with a chain and his gun
Rakim I Ain't No Joke: Gold chains and rings and graffiti. Also B boying. All the elements of hip hop
Slick Rick Children's story: The video was very weird to me. Seems like a comedy soundless movie from the 50s. Cops fall on fruit and the robbers wear the striped clothes.
Snoop and Dre Nuthin but a G Thang: Basically what Mr. Herman said: it's a smoother style to it that contrasts with the hard east coast rhythm
Public Enemy Fight the Power: Feels like F**k the police by NWA because it shares that common adversary of authoritative
Queen Latifah U.N.I.T.Y: I like how there is a trombone in the background of the song. Cool to see that sexism played a role in the rise of hip hop alongside racism
DMX Ruff Riders: Feels like a song that Terrell Owens would work out to
LL Cool J Mama Said Knock You Out: I love the first line of this song but not because of what he actually means. He means he never left but I say it because if a team makes a comeback don't call it a comeback because they were never out of the fight
